They encouraged people to buy homes to simulate the economy during COVID. That's fine, but encouraging people, many first time buyers, to overly extend themselves or lock into variable rates seems almost criminal. |
With specific regards to this, folks shouldn't have gone for the cheapest rate or the most expensive house that the rates could sustain at that time. Not having any sort of buffer is their fault.
