Expert predicts grim fate for housing market if rates go down

[@Hannahbenowitz]

The home I purchased in 2023 has appreciated by $60,000 since my acquisition. However, the downside is the diminishing value of the dollar. I am currently contemplating strategies to reinvest $300,000 in the real estate market.

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

[@Michaelparker12]

Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

7% to 6% is going to cause a buying frenzy? Housing started to freeze at 5.5%. People can’t afford the house price. It’s not the extra 1% of interest

[@JohnnyJolter69]

Exactly right, 300 bucks less per months isn't going to make people feel the need to rush out and buy in this uncertain economy with wars all over the globe

[@ninjagirl226]

No housing prices have kept rising despite the high interest rates. The reason is all supply and demand. Anyone locked in at 3% doesn’t want to sell their house and have to buy a new one at an elevated interest rate especially one that’s nearly double what they currently have. All the while there’s still demand from buyers despite the high costs although it’s probably not as high as it could be. Lowering the rates even slightly will just increase demand because home buyers will go ok I might be able to addled it now, but it won’t fix the supply issue leading to higher costs.

As a real estate investor for several decades, these guys are wrong. Prices in the covid boom markets, like Austin, Phoenix, Tampa Bay,etc are going to drop by over 20% in the coming years. Austin is already down by 17% since the Q2’22 peak and has at least another 15% to go

[@RaymondKeen.]

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

Lower house prices does very little to change inventory issue, If anything it makes it worse because the current owner gets even less back in equity when they do sell.

Blackrock and Vangaurd are gobbling up entire entry level neighborhoods, paying cash from your 401k retirement funds. This is causing a supply shortage. Lowering the interest rate will increase the number of buyers, but wont solve the supply issue. Prices will drive up even further. Best plan for people wanting a home now is to find low rent, and save to pay cash for a home whenever the market settles. Right now the rent on an entry home is about half what a 7% mortgage would be in my area.

Rates need to double to stop the "real" inflation rate

[@maxpain7197]

It will only stop the buying. The price of real-estate will still be worth high value. Even if it don't show on paper, population only increase, inventory decreases, and supplies for homes decrease.

[@jeanah685]

It's not just the interest rate. It's the overpriced houses. There is no housing shortage, just an affordable housing problem. Your common home should never be over $100,000. And no 3 bdr home needs to be anymore than 1200-1500 square ft.

[@Robertgriffinne]

You got valid points though Inflation is dilapidating. Quite sad what's happening in the market. Although, even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. The market circumstances are driving me insane, my portfolio has lost almost $13K this month alone, my earnings are tanking. I'd appreciate some financial advice from anyone who knows more going forward.

[@Natalieneptune469]

There are good days and bad days. It's a zero-sum game, but keep this advice in mind: spend wisely, invest wisely, and diversify your holdings so that when one performs poorly, the others do as well. This can be accomplished by hiring a knowledgeable specialist whose platform provides a wide range of investment options. By doing so, you leave little room for regrets and may even gain more.

[@PhilipMurray251]

People do downplay the importance of expert counselors up until they experience the consequences of their errors. I wanted to stay afloat between the COVID outbreak and my early 2020 layoff, so I started looking for license advisors. My previously stagnant $325K reserve has so far created significant returns from subsequent investments owing to expert leadership by my FA, who can be found online. I was fortunate to come across someone with her level of practical knowledge and years of experience.

[@Robertgriffinne]

We’re only just an information away from amassing wealth, I know a lot of folks that made fortunes from the Dotcom crash as well as the 08’ crash and I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present market, could this coach that guides you help?

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Linda Aretha Reeves” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

[@ryanarchuleta6231]

I bought a small unit in a duplex about 15 months ago for the sole purpose of living there for maybe 2 years while I stack money on the side/try to earn more money from moving up at work to get something bigger later. Now I'm just kind of hanging onto it until the interest rates go down. I got it at 6%. I remember seeing articles about the rates going back down to 5% by the end of that year and now they're going up instead.

[@solice8844]

[@gregh7457]

"prices will continue to go up" lol, at what point does that "expert" think buyers will stop qualifying for loans? The sky is not the limit

[@avenger1212]

Rates would have to crash for a "buying frenzy" to come back. Some buyers might come back into the market, but a percent or two drop in rates isn't going to do much to combat the hugely overvalued house prices. And the FOMO effect has cooled and people are taking a much more objective look at the market now. Too many talking heads predicting a return to insanity. It's not going to happen. It's more likely prices stay elevated and return to a more normal year over year increase, which is bad enough in it's own right given the overvalued homes and interest rates. Expect more gridlock IMO.

It’s disgusting what’s happening. I’m a realtor and would prefer home prices to go down because no one can afford to buy except certain groups. It doesn’t make selling homes meaningful any longer. I’m speaking from NYC. It’s awful.

[@taranjeetsingh2605]

Even if there is a cut it will be either .25 or .50max. That will surely qualify more for people to debt but a buying frenzy we saw at 2 % ? Doesn’t make any sense. These experts have their own skin in the game. They want you to buy homes.

[@Andiv2701]

I am not agree that prices will skyrocket if the interest rate goes down. A lot of people who has 2-3 houses will start selling because we get a lot of equity build up in houses. However, it is hard to compete with new construction for regular sellers. Moment when interest rates will get better used houses will go back to market.

[@Falconlibrary]

I'm in Kansas and houses here go under contract within days of listing, at or even above asking price. Only exception are houses that are wildly overpriced or else have some serious problem (like a foundation issue). Foreclosures are also steadily rising, but realtors are trying to sweep those under the rug--realtors HATE foreclosed homes.

[@08turboSS]

The fed has no right to and should not be controlling rates.

[@gregh7457]

lol, funniest comment i've seen in a while. thanks

[@bstract_w5]

This country is in a hellhole.

[@KungPowEnterFist]

The funds rate has nothing to do with mortgage rates. In fact, the Fed could be cutting the funds rate pretty hard, and mortgage rates could continue to go even higher. In January 2008, the Fed has already cut the funds rate to 4.0% (from 5.25%) and mortgage rates were around 5.5%. By July 2008, the Fed had cut down to a 2.0% funds rate and mortgage rates were pushing 6.75%. Despite what the chart says mortgage rates in the real world went higher than that at the peak, and I remember mortgages did not go sustainably below 6% until late 4Q 2010 after the funds rate had already been effectively 0% for nearly two years. Barbara Cohen and this guy got bridge to sell you in Baltimore. This "if the Fed cuts the funds rate, home demand and prices will go through the roof" nonsense is exactly word for word what they were saying in 2007.

[@ludda42]

Lower rates will also increase supply of homes from both existing homes and builders. Some are predicting lower rates will actually soften housing inflation not accelerate it

[@emcalone]

They are assuming that all of the pent up buyers don't own a home already. It's more likely that people waiting to buy are also waiting to sell which will wash out any price increases. What will drive prices up are first time home buyers. They are stupid if they think first time home buyers are going to come in at 6%.

[@maxpain7197]

Bought my first house 20 years ago at 6%

Parents bought their house almost 50 years ago at 13%. Probably should look back on interest rates over the last 50 years.

[@paulcarlson4230]

But if houses go up what's the difference?

[@BtRct]

Consumers set the pricepoint of home sales by buying and it goes up, or waiting and it comes down. The interest rates you can’t. However before getting worked up in the buying frenzy over lower interest rates, get your home now and refi later. Price of houses will go up when people begin overbidding again.

[@New-bw4kz]

Now prices and rates are not the only problem, add higher insurance and property taxes. This administration has destroyed this country in all aspects 😡

Barbara is 100% wrong. We aren’t waiting for interest rates to go down, we are waiting for home prices to go down.

[@TVluver2]

Houses are still selling over asking price with multiple offers in under a week where I live in Northern California. Not enough houses on the market due to people hanging on to low interest rates. Rates going down would bring in even more buyers, but they likely will never go down enough to entice those with sub-3% rates to sell, so the inventory shortage will worsen and prices will continue to go up. I feel pretty lucky that I bought my home in 2020 when interest rates were low (2.5%) and before prices sky rocketed because I don't envy anyone trying to buy today. I can't speak for the nation, but it doesn't look like prices are coming down in my neighborhood anytime soon.

This guy clearly doesn't understand that we RARELY ever get rate cuts that don't lead to a recession and in recession when unemployment spikes people lose their homes and have to foreclose. Housing prices will come down because we are in prime condition for a recession as soon as the rates start getting cut.
