The amount of money homebuyers are being asked to put down on their purchases of new homes has reached a “record high” under the Biden-Harris administration, thanks largely to dramatically higher interest rates resulting from inflationary monetary and economic policies.
“The typical down payment for U.S. homebuyers hit a record high of $67,500 in June, up 14.8 percent from $58,788 a year earlier,” according to an Aug. 28 news release from real estate brokerage Redfin.
Year-over-year down payment costs have been continuously increasing over the past months, with June marking the 12th consecutive month of rise, the report said, as noted by The Epoch Times.
Higher down payments are contributing to the ongoing affordability crisis in the housing market during the Biden-Harris administration. According to data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), in June, the monthly payments required to afford a median-priced existing single-family home were $2,303. That is nearly double the $1,206 monthly payment needed in 2021.
Monthly payments now consume more than a quarter of an individual’s income. To qualify for a median-priced home, a person needs an income of $110,544, up from the $57,888 needed when then-President Donald Trump left office.
A significant factor driving up the cost of home loans is the rise in mortgage rates, which have surged from 3.01 percent to seven percent. Recently, however, rates have decreased from their peak in late October. As of the week ending August 29, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 6.35 percent. It should be noted that the Federal Reserve began hiking rates as a means of taming what had become runaway inflation under Biden-Harris and two years of full Democrat control of Congress.
Redfin, meanwhile, noted that the increase in down payments is being driven by current market conditions, where “higher-priced, turnkey homes” in desirable neighborhoods are more likely to be sold. Turnkey homes are fully renovated properties that investors can purchase and rent out immediately. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
