Collapse will come towards the end of this thing - my guess would be May-July probably safe. Remember we are only now hitting financial strain, and the government is providing some backstops. Once it all starts to unwind is when housing will come unglued.

To catch the real estate collapse. Thoughts?

We just locked in a mortgage at 2.625%, not sure when that’s going to happen again. But for us it was just luck of timing with our build being complete this month. However I will say safety fund is important because a lot of random expenses are coming up.
