This is scary. 😬 KB Homes, a large home builder, just reported a 68% CANCEL RATE. Meaning that over 2/3 of Homebuyers walked away from their contracts in the quarter. Leaving KB Homes with a massive pile-up of inventory. Last year the Cancel Rate was only 13%.

Here's an Alarming Statistic.... 📉 Homebuyer Downpayments in 2021 were LOWER than 2006 during the Subprime Bubble. Part of a long-term, 50-Year Decline in Mortgage Lending Standards in America. Foreclosure Wave 2.0 is coming. ETA Late 2022.

The search volume for the terms "credit card", "payday loan", and "personal loan" are all spiking. People are at the end of their financial rope. It's going to be ugly.
