    If you just bought (assuming standard 30 yr mortgage), all you have to do is hold through it. Refinance if that becomes favorable.

    The only losers are those who are free and clear or toward the end of their mortgage AND looking to utilize the equity they built up, OR anyone looking to sell. The solution is time, which can kinda suck, but it’s vastly preferable to not having a place to live.

      The solution is only time if market starts bubbling again, like it did after the last crash. Its also possible for asset prices to stagnate for decades, and its happened before.
