“Flood Gates Will Open” - Is NOW The Time To Buy? Housing Market Faces NIGHTMARE Crisis

[@DonaldStokes-p]

It is difficult to make exact projections for the housing market as it is still unclear how quickly or to what degree the Federal Reserve will reduce inflation and borrowing costs without having a substantial negative impact on demand from consumers for anything from houses to cars.

[@PASCALDAB]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone wants to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@Tonyrobs2]

You're not doing anything wrong; you simply lack the expertise necessary to make money in a bad market. In these difficult circumstances, only really skilled experts who witnessed the 2008 financial crisis can expect to generate a large wage.

I’m in Ohio 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 quiet 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.

[@JacquelinePerrira]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@kevinmarten]

Personally, I can connect to that. When I began working with a fiduciary financial counsellor, my advantages were certain. I got into the market early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2021 this time with guidance, Long story short, its been 2years now and I’ve gained over a million dollars following guidance from my investment adviser.

[@kevinmarten]

consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.

[@nicolasbenson009]

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

[@berniceburgos-]

I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, 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. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

You're correct! With the help of an investment coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets and produce slightly more than $830K in net profit from high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds.

Mortgage rates are not the issue. 6-7% is fairly normal. Homes listed for $700k that were bought for 400k 4 years ago is the issue. Homes prices need to come down at least 25% -30%. Too many fools overpaying keeping greedy sellers from lowering prices.

YES! I live in Florida, specifically South Florida, and can confirm I saw houses on the market last year that were purchased in 2020 or 2021 for 250% LESS than their current listing price! What?!?!? Anyone who doesn’t look at THAT part of the listing, the previous purchase price, and you don’t see that any renovations have been made in those 4 years (or hell, since the original build of the house) and the roof or HVAC is 10 plus years old, should not even paying 50% more than the house value in 2020/2021- F that, I will continue to rent, because that is absolutely guaranteed money lost.

[@stainomatic]

Just had this happen to me. Had to take our home off the market, because everyone is getting denied due to high interest rates. Buying a $1M house at 3% with 20% down, means a mortgage of ~$3k/mth. Now buying the same house with the same down payment at 7% interest rates, means a mortgage of ~$7-8K/mth. It's ridiculous that the fed keeps printing money and send it overseas to back wars and all Americans are paying for it in every aspect of their lives: grocery, rent, mortgage, retail, etc...

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform.

[@AllGoldEverything7]

People are so clueless it’s not the rates that matter it’s the current evaluation on the home. If you over pay on a home you’re screwed. If you buy a home with a high interest rate at normal price evaluation then you could eventually refinance later. YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE COST AT WHICH YOU’VE BROUGHT A HOUSE!

[@HeidiWillToWin]

Yup. That is precisely why I am holding off on buying. I am in Florida and I refuse to buy a house that is at a 50-100% inflated value compared to what it cost in 2020/2021. Last year, I was seeing prices that were like 250% more than they were purchased for in 2020/2021. Im not playing that game. ESPECIALLY when the kitchen and bathrooms look like they came with the original build of the house and the roof and HVAC haven’t been updated in 20 years. F that.

Renting out the townhouse and have 1-2 roommates living with me in the new house. Now paying for a house that will likely appreciate very well and paying for it with 4-5 renters. If I ever do have a family, I'm that much further ahead in the game to where I can now build a family in the house I currently live in. I realize not every market is like Nashville and there are abundant people looking to rent here but if you can make an extra $500-1000/mo renting out a room in any market that someone else is helping to pay for your appreciating asset then you're winning.

A n 0.25% rate reduction will have virtually zero impact on the housing market. If you borrow $400K at 6.75% vs. 6.5)% the difference in your monthly payment is $83. That's not enough difference to make a buy or not-buy decision. The problem is housing prices are so inflated that they have to come down to a more affordable level. In the "old days" the metric was your housing costs should be 30% or less of your HH income. Today, we see housing costs pushing 50% - 60% of the median HH income. With other costs increasing over 30% over the past three years, the numbers just don't work.

Good perspective, Tom. Insurance prices are high right now too, and if someone is under contract, they usually start shopping for insurance quotes. If the costs are too high and the seller is unwilling to replace the roof or make necessary upgrades to lower these costs, then the buyers often walk away. Additionally, Florida is experiencing a boom in new construction, with many builders offering discounted interest rates and closing cost credits. This situation makes it challenging for resale sellers, especially when the price of a brand new home is comparable to a slightly used one. The new construction homes, with closing costs covered, a 4.5% interest rate, several builder upgrades, and a one-year warranty, often have a competitive edge. There's also the current condo/HOA situation to consider. Moreover, many people who made impulsive moves in 2020, 2021, and 2022 are realizing Florida isn't for them and are relocating. I'm a Chicago realtor and if you can't tell, I'm moving to Sarasota Florida and have been studying that market because it's the complete opposite of what we have in Chicago.

Again, the fundamentals are going to kick in and this means massive crash in prices.

You need to wait until people think you are insane to buy a house… That’s the way it was at the bottom of the last bubble.

[@resnonverba3351]

Exactly as I remember it….

[@francescaderimini2931]

In Chicago my taxes were higher than my mortgage! Police told us not to call them is we had a break in!

[@RickNyks]

I had to finally commit to buying a home recently because I was living in a rental that shared walls with the neighbors, and the new neighbors were insufferable to live by. It's a pain, but I dont think it'll get any better for a while if it ever does.

[@MrDamon888]

You in the state of denial. Florida insurance and HOA is insane and raising

[@gracereeves5790]

Your show is insightful, informative and enjoyable. Thank you.

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

Im 34 and I'm so far off from owning the home I would want to, not a mansion or anything like that just a nice house. I would literally have to start robbing banks.

[@MortgageMike305]

You may be able to sooner than you think 🤔

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

@@MortgageMike305 You calling me a bank robber? I mean probably

[@jonathantaylor6926]

Yeah I feel you.. even a middle class home where I live is $750K... even a million dollar home really isn't that impressive.

[@MemphisKennedy-xy5ye]

Why not, they're robbing us

[@justincrook6795]

Historically, even after there is a drop in interest after the Fed dampens it's fight against inflation, people do not come running back into the housing market. Why? Because the high inflation and high interest has hurt the economy too much. Credit cards spiking, jobs decreasing, savings depleting. You think these people can rush and buy a home now with these prices with the financial hurt they are in? I don't think so.

[@ozzieovb]

Owning a home is a liability, not an asset.

[@kahvac]

Yes...even when a house is 100% paid off it's still a liability ! Taxes..Insurance Repairs, etc..

[@Nate12-]

Not if you’re single and renting rooms #playthegame

[@shaec3405]

But renting at 3x what it should be sucks too

[@Montu96]

When is the best time to invest? Always NOW. When is the best time to buy a House? Never NOW.

[@O4C209]

Interest, insurance, and taxes are "hidden" costs that are putting some heavy pressure on people.

[@brazildahl]

My husband took on a mortgage to buy our first home last year and did he buy it overpriced the house and farm, yes but not because we want to pay more but at least we were lucky to, its just we're not going to wait for something that is not a guarantee, which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see all these people who are waiting to buy a house, waiting for the prices to go down be the very same people in a year or so still waiting for prices to go down and guess what folks age and time doesn't wait with you, dont know about the rest of ya but we wanna live, experience and enjoy life NOW.. everything is overinflated in life now, every little thing and sure stuff might go down a little but it'll never be like what it was before and that applies to the housing market as well sure some places will drop a bit and obviously there will be some places that will always remain high in demand depend on locations but still overall be high priced and lower quality builds now. Dont forget as a factor there are elite entities who also want life to be unaffordable in Society aka "you'll own nothing and be happy".. which is why we're seeing our country, cities and towns going in this direction.... don't get me wrong I hope Society proves me wrong and prices fall to Affordable levels but just from what I've experienced in life so far it just seems like the american dream which was the house, the family, the car, the conveniences, the long life career and overall affordability is one big tease now that is constantly dangled before us, to always barely have it within your grasp and think your fine and flourishing only for it to be yanked back further from you...

I’m so glad I bought my house in 2015. New homes close to my neighborhood are way smaller and almost twice as expensive. 🤯

[@SirShiv7]

How am I supposed to afford a home when Blackrock and similar corporations can purchase entire neighborhoods and price me out?

[@MortgageMike305]

As a mortgage broker, I can confirm what he said about backend DTI approval. This is partly a function of not having proper guidance throughout the process. Most people pay attention to the price of the house and forget how much property taxes and homeowners insurance impact their mortgage payments 😢

[@saintsandsin3885]

I live in SWFL in the same house since 2004. If you spend less than you make, and you keep yourself out of debt by not keeping up to the Jones's you will be just find when the market dips. All the wealthy people I know own their houses and vehicles for a long time.

[@MH11.11]

Rates can go down but home insurance in FL is insane.

[@JustinSLeach]

When rates go down, it’s bad news. It’s not just about demand… It’s about the banks willingness to lend. And when rates are going down, they tighten up big time. This is not a story of rates. I have a relative that owns a gym, they are getting cancellations every day. Their membership is $39 a month, basically $1.30 a day, and people say they can’t afford it. We own an HVAC business… People are going without AC this summer because they can’t afford a service call.we have customers on payment plans for as low as $300 bills. If you can’t pay a $300 bill, a 25 point rate cut is not going to get you off your ass to buy a house.
