The housing market is “stuck” and may stay that way for the next two years. With low inventory, high mortgage rates, stunted demand, and high rents, it seems like there’s nowhere to go. If you’re a homeowner, this could mean good news, as price stability keeps your property value high. But, if you’re looking to buy a home or work in a real estate-related industry, this isn’t what you want to hear. What happens after 2026, and what changes will come to the housing market over the next two years? We’re breaking it all down in today’s headlines show!
First, we’re discussing why economists think the housing market will remain “stuck” until 2026 and what happens to housing prices along the way. Next, if you’re looking for deals, you’re in luck! We’re showcasing some of the “coldest” markets in the US that are seeing prices start to fall already. Is your home insurance bill killing your cash flow? We’re diving into a recent survey on the insurance “shock” hitting landlords and what investors MUST do now to account for rising prices. Speaking of rising prices, are rent prices crossing the affordability threshold for most renters? We’re getting into it all in this episode!

Real estate broker and investor here. The clique “ Location, location, location” is sooooo true. I really enjoy a lot of this about BP but talking about “the real estate market” in this broad sense for all of America is asinine. Real estate is 100% a local game. Get numbers and an accurate account of what’s actually happening from people actively in real estate. Active realtors will tell you what the “feel” is in their local market and this ALWAYS precedes numbers. Numbers tell you what just happened, they don’t tell you what’s happening right now.

The property tax in Texas is too high there. Geesh!!!

[@KVille76]

The fact that she is saying that the every day buyer is in the best position in history… Shows you how disconnected they are from the real world… And from real people…

[@sam-rv1lv]

Investors invest in productive businesses and avenues. Houses do not produce anything. Investors need to get out of residential housing and allow market forces to dictate new builds and prices. But for these 'investors', there would be a lot more home owners than renters.

[@dhowto3005]

Thanks!

[@teleshyam26]

Hello,Loved the video!! I was wondering if i could help you edit your videos...?

[@Daniel_12_3]

Living in Oklahoma here and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quite mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.

[@geraldhoward6351]

A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

[@Pat_laura22]

Many people lack this kind of information, which is unfortunate. I understand why some people panic. It can be hard without enough information. I have been earning over $51k passively by investing through an advisor, and it doesn’t take much work. The economy’s performance doesn’t matter; good wealth managers always make profits.

[@lunaezj-e9b]

​That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

[@Pat_laura22]

“Iynne Marie Stella”, is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@Anderson_313]

I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.

[@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle]

Love the show. I never miss an episode

[@NoName-sk1wp]

Dave still waiting on the NE area episode / NYC and the subrurbs/surrounding. Stop holding off!!

[@Ace-qy5vz]

Dave's comment that this is a "flat market" is dumb. RE is never flat. It's always in a cycle. Prices are coming down. After inflationary periods, high rates always destroy over-leveraged markets, and with all the ridiculous AirBnB investing that has occurred, this bubble is worse than 2008. 5-15% off peak is nothing. Good luck at those prices when Austin, Phoenix, and all of Florida are going down 30%+ by 2026.

[@MrJacobegg]

LOL. It's been a couple years now, but I remember being this naive once...

[@lioneaglegriffin]

The bubble in 2008 didn't have qualified mortgages keeping it stable. People are able to hold on to their home in down cycles because it. Demand is down and inventory is down. So 30% drops are not something to count on unless it due to climate risk.

[@AidenCooney]

​@@lioneaglegriffinunemployment is happening so how will they hold homes?

[@davidmeyer1101]

Interesting take. People have been calling for the type of crash you're suggesting for years, and it hasn't materialized. I'm sticking with my prediction that prices will remain relatively flat for the next few years, given or take a few % points.

[@r0c1ndave]

Las cruces?? I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag but might be worth checking out Rio Rancho, New Mexico also 😬😬

[@1138prometheus]

By the way, when you count the demand, are you counting all the people whose cars just got repossessed all the people who just maxed out their credit cards? All the people who now are struggling with their student loans and all the people who are still getting laid off because a lot of those people were "waiting on the sidelines" except now they now longer qualify for mortgages. Hint none of them are going to qualify again for 5 years . When you measure, demand and supply, I hope you're counting those people as well.

[@southernyankee2300]

Not if foreclosures start happening.

[@dstorm2.02]

No one knows, it's all speculation at this point. One day at a time.

[@minimalist0000]

Try to honest in your next video, inventory is going up and prices are coming down. I know you guys have ulterior motives and want to encourage buying to support your businesses.

[@davidmeyer1101]

Can you point to evidence of prices coming down? Inventory is going up, as we mentioned in the show, but prices are up 5% YOY on a national basis. So wondering what is dishonest about saying prices are up when every data source out there says so.
