CUSSED OUT! New Home Liquidation in North Carolina

[@tyrellturner3150]

I work for the power company in simpsonville sc which is Greenville county. About 2 years ago we couldn’t keep up installing power with how fast new developments went up and sold. This has drastically changed since 2023. A lot of the developments have many houses move in ready with nobody buying. And price cuts haven’t helped . I cover a big area so I see the Chang on a large area. Definitely coming down! Thanks for all the videos 🙏

[@michaeloconnor6683]

Dude, we have a pretty big multi-Family in Bozeman --- the transformers are out 57 weeks -- they are hanging drywall with no heat and we put the order in almost 2 years ago

[@vickijohnson9367]

Good insight. I mostly just follow the finance industry and the debt instrument structure. Institutional private finance is propping it up, but they will be buying up a lot of new. The main issue is because owning for the elderly is becoming to unstable with insurance and taxes exploding. Renting is a non-commitment option for the elderly. They can have enough savings for the higher rental costs up front, but they can bail pretty quick when the rent goes up. They are retired, so location is flexible. Ten thousand a day of basically leasing America. Sounds and looks like the global finance agenda is on track to a much different future here in the U.S. just a matter of time till the investment big players push the little ones out. Think of it like pharmacies, grocers, and main streets. The independents were and are continuing to be crushed by Wall Street. What does your nation look like when your government only caters to the 1%? Puerto Rico🎯 Almost 50% hovering around poverty. That is what we see taking hold here, every year worse, with no government oversight to what kind of nation institutional private finance is creating. A sad retreat into a purely gilded age.

I live in N Phoenix too. My wife and I walk our dog through these developing neighborhoods, but no issues so far. We're not YTers, we just take photos and videos of addresses of supposed "SOLD" units to verify when we get home with the gis website. Never got yelled at, but 90% of the so-called sold units are still owned by the builders.

I sold my home in Wilmington in 2022 and built a new home in Charlotte....best decision ive ever made. Wilmington is becoming extremely expensive because of the beach tax. Not to mention the rising crime and gang activities.

Travis I've said it before and I'll say it once more. Your onsite walk through is excellent as is your support team. I'm sorry you encountered the negativity in the course of your investigation but surely know you and your team are doing excellent work.

[@turisalee7656]

We are leaving Wilmington as fast as we can. We have lived here for three years to be near our family when my husband worked remote. I grew up in Brunswick county and sadly a lot of the developments going up are poor quality in my opinion. My husband took a new position and can no longer work remote but I'm fine with that. We will move back to central NC area where we lived for 20 years prior to our move. Being a nurse also the healthcare is less to be desired in Wilmington. Due to the growth, people can wait up to 10 months to see a healthcare specialist. The reputation of the local hospital is not highly regarded. Also the insurance companies wanted to raise the home insurance this year in some areas here as high as 99%. The NC insurance Commissioner said no but if NC follows the trends in California and Florida, I think major insurance companies will eventually pull out of NC coastal areas due to high risk. Things to consider when you move to an area. You need to really research it to see if the quality of life is there. I seen so much growth with little thought to the infrastructure here in Wilmington and it is starting to show.

Im a broker in Wilmington and own a real estate firm. There’s a massive difference in Bolivia, Shallotte and Calabash compared to Leland and Wilmington. Yes, the homes are sitting on the market longer but without a doubt these homes will sell for very close to list price in a normal time frame. Massive amounts of transplants in the area y’all looked too. But if you look at stats in Wilmington proper. They are still insane.

[@mindjeromebiz]

Dude... I waited like 2 week for this video to come out and you didn't even go to Wilmington? Bolivia - calabash is just retirement/remote worker homes... Wilmington, Leland, and Hampstead is what I was hoping you would have covered...

[@slidez11]

Drive by reporting....even in Wilmington no one has a real job. Everyone is remote. Over half my friends here don't show up to an office. This video is kinda funny. I've never watched one from this guy. But someone shared it I know. No construction workers....while its raining. There's also only so many contractors in the area. They all are spread pretty thin. I'm involved in the construction industry in a way here and a resident of the area for 19 years. I think the video is very misleading and panic, click bait material.

[@christiannell2999]

Welcome to North Carolina Travis! 😂😂 they can see it falling apart between their eyes

[@heidefeldman1760]

Stay safe. Thanks Travis. I'm in Florida. West Coast 45 minutes north of Tampa the home prices have skyrocketed since we are on the western coast line. Small town feel in Citrus County. Been here for 23 years and the prices are just nuts. All insurances from homeowners ,car and health care have increased. Duke Energy is no sweet deal either. Garbage haulaway has increased and there is no industry just service jobs. The permits being pulled in the county are numerous. Cant get into see a doctor for two months and everywhere you go lines of people at the store as one register and multiple self check-out lanes which people are not interested in. The area has become consumed with high end buyers wanting to knockdown the current homes and build mini mansions on the lot lines. There are lots of retirement folks no longer interested in staying. Where to go? I placed my home in FSBO at an elevated rate and will move when the pay me to do so. New hotels coming the roads have been updated and we even have electric car hook ups at Wawa. I'm not overly concerned with the influx but I am concerned with what type of community it will become!

[@SafeEffective-ls2pl]

Move to Mexico or El Salvador

[@alyross2850]

And the problem is….how can an area grow and provide enough services, shopping, stores, roads, to support all these new people when the people to work these jobs cannot live within a few miles of development? You are already seeing this in the grocery store lines. They don’t have and can’t get the help they need because a person who makes $15 an hour isn’t going to drive 30 miles to work. And that’s especially in FL, where a person making $15 an hour may not be able to afford the insurance on a car at all. Personally, I have a lot of convenience where I live now. I am seriously considering an RV so I can just roam around until I find what I really want.

[@heidefeldman1760]

The people that are coming have mega money and the new shopping is 5 miles from the Coast and inland had developed in the county as well. Again nothing magical just the same ole crappy stores america accepts. Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Culver's, Panera Bread and a like. Worthless. Cannot find an upscale clothing store like in Tampa or Sarasota. They newbies won't stay as they will be deprived of shopping. Not everyone fishes and golfs.

[@jamestellsthetruth]

I lived in Wilmington.. If you arent a college student or retired there is no reason to live there. The coastal carolinas have no jobs. Got to go to Raleigh/Durham for work. It's saturated because you have people from UNC/Duke/ECU/UNCG/UNCW/Coastal Carolina many smaller colleges all going after the same jobs.

I live right on the line Wilmington & Castle Hayne NC. There are 2 huge new communities being built on the Cape Fear river. One sign says gated community, $600,000. I have lived here 30 years. The Wrightsville Beach Mayfair area has lots of residential and commercial buildings being built too. Relatively new area The Pointe, lots of new stores, restaurants, movie theaters, tons of new apartments and houses. We want have any woods/trees left. Can’t find parking at the beaches. A lot of transients coming here.

[@lhpangler]

as a local currently renting in this area house hunting South Port and Oak Island, the problem I see with these homes is: too many folks with motorcycles or cheap cars/trucks that love loud mufflers. The homes are so thin that you hear the vehicles starting around 6am as well as your neighbors stereo.

[@s99614]

The rent is too damn high!

[@gecko2000405]

Great footage guys! Even though they are cheaply made, I do appreciate the new saturation of the market and the smaller homes. Not everybody needs to cool or heat a 3000sqft home and pay crazy property taxes. There needs to be a market for starter homes.

[@jamesstovall1839]

No they want 3000 square foot homes with all the trappings for the price of starter homes. You can't have it both ways. If you cannot afford a Camry go get a Ford Focus, but don't expect the same amenities. Builders like DR Horton can afford to sell a more affordable home because of economy of scale so be glad there is a DR Horton and MacDonald of the world so people who need a baseline price can at least have food and shelter.

Under 300 would be best! But it doesn’t look good there.

Those homes look similar to the national builder homes in central IN. I wonder if they are focusing on retirees because when I see 2 stories, I don't think retirees.

You seem to only pick vacation home areas. Try the Washington, DC meto area. Prices are not going down and inventory is not growing. Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilmington, NC are cop outs. These are beach towns that have very volatile housing markets. You don't seem to go to Chicago or Dallas or Washington, DC or Los Angeles where people have careers and high salaries. Instead, you go to vacation towns where people mostly have second homes or are at the mercy of tourism.

Not all of us. I carry both licenses but to put a blanket over all the industry is never good. With that said your right about 95% of these Realtors. Investors like yourself are difficult to work with most of the time. But that is not all investors. It's a different mindset, than the average consumer. Because of my experience in both Mortgage and Real Estate, I carry an investor mindset with all my clients. I look at the money, not the fluff. If I feel that I have supporting evidence that the price is wrong or the money is wrong, I tell my clients. On the other hand, I don't have the fluffy language that sometimes is needed. It's the money and budget first, then the home. If it all fits, i feel good about what I am doing. It gets wild sometimes with the offers from an investor and it's no place for chickens. The way it is approached is everything. I take an investors demand and short language and formulate a way to present it to get the results we are looking for.

What the heck is wrong with that guy?

[@dht084]

Just bought a home there.

Ugh. I guess maybe if you are retired and just HAVE to move to that area…..and it’s the only way….. This is why so many of us like the 1980s-2000 built homes.

That rep wants you getting your RE news from MSM, not boots on the ground. Appreciate your service, sir!

Wilmington is a retirement community, also easy access for people from Raleigh or Fayetteville for second homes by the beach. Your retirement pool is not just people that don’t want to retire to Florida. NC has a lot of military bases especially in eastern NC, so you can retire and still have easy access to the military bases with your healthcare access and the commissary and exchange. We live north of Wilmington. All of eastern NC is a great place to retire. We also in this area have easy access to the Raleigh area for some of the best healthcare in the country. I had surgery at Duke a few years ago and had one of the top surgeons and researcher for my condition.

You might cover more if there are nearby amenities, rec centers, shopping, etc. Driving far for daily activities is sad. In many of these developments one can’t walk or bike to anything, etc.
