I only have one question, Larry. Which will lose more value in the next five to ten years? The USD (upon the next printing spree) or the house? I'm guessing it's the $. Both could lose 50% or more, but the house has a much greater chance of regaining value. The USD might gain purchasing power for a while, but it'll be a dead cat bounce. So yeah. Hard assets. Metals. Real Estate. Land.

Fortunately, my spouse and I were able to pay off our mortgage early. While we were both still employed, we took the money we had been using to accelerate our mortgage repayment and invested it immediately. Thanks to nearly 7 years of saving what would have been our mortgage payment and to maxing out our 401K/403B plans, we were able to retire early. Fortunately, both of our parents instilled in us the need of living within our means.

Keep in mind that during the 80’s people were encouraged to save due to the interest rates. Right now there’s very little incentive to save because those who are saving are watching those who are reckless taking it in.

Your chart @ 4:23 is investor sales being at 26%, NOT ownership. So they are buying ~26% in Q1 2024, but they are still a small percentage of owners, overall.. it almost felt like you are saying investors own 26% of low-priced homes, which i believe is close to just 2%, overall OWNED by investors.. thoughts? Also, you cite climate change for increasing insurance costs. Inflation means it takes more to replace or rebuild a damaged house or car, and that means insurance costs correlate..

[@vinniewho2173]

what about supply constraint since existing homeowners cannot afford new loans at high rates when they are enjoying low rates from past 15 years before the interest rate hike? what is the statistics on this factor

[@vcracing]

The law of supply and demand still applies. We have a shortage of housing between 2M-6M units. Until that resolves, housing prices overall, are not going anywhere. Oh, and since rent hasn't kept up with home prices, expect rent to go up.

[@toinengwyn3935]

With 15.1M empty houses and historically weak population growth (immigration included) in the past few decades, there is no shortage of housing. Note that it's called supply and *demand*. Supply may be low, but demand is at multi decades lows as well. It won't take a big jump in supply to get the ball rolling down. A record number of rental units are coming online in the near future. In many markets, rents are already lower than mortgage payments are.

[@theplaintiff5450]

Sorry, but taxes/insurance aren’t going to be what causes housing to go down. The only thing that threatens housing prices is unemployment. We don’t have the same interest rate schemes we did 20 years ago on homes. Everything is fixed, and most owners are below 4% interest rates. If we have a recession that pushes unemployment above 8-10%, that could open up a correction. But until that happens, expect housing to stay high. And even that might not be enough. I still watch these dipshits in my local MSA bid $80k over on a bucket of shit house, just because they’re afraid of missing out. Paying $650k for a house that hasn’t received any major upkeep and maintenance since the Nixon administration. So long as that sort of insanity exists, homes will stay extremely valuable.

[@Jake-pf4kv]

if there is a crash, you will see it in places with the highest appreciation first

[@toinengwyn3935]

Unemployment is the main threat. But note that taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs are not fixed. In addition, a record amount of properties are owned by investors and speculators. Those represent another domino.

[@SPM-tv]

Im in insurance, people on fixed incomes can afford their taxes and insurance anymore.

[@worndown8280]

Id argue that if the recession hits, even a mild one, it might actually save housing. Right now the Fed is holding rates higher for longer. This means that all those rental properties, both single family and apartments, will need to have the debt rolled over at higher levels. Once that happens people will not be able to afford rents that allow the debt holders to service those loans. If a recession hits, the Fed may cut rates preventing those loans being rolled over at rates that cant be serviced. That means massive foreclosures and banks tightening lending even more. Both of those push down on single family home prices long term. Do I think it will be a 2008 crash, no. Maybe a 15% down turn over a few years. But on the other side will be higher rates and if immigration is addressed, and aging and shrinking population. Right now we are Japan 1990. Look what real estate did between 1980 and 2015 in Japan. That's what will happen here as well.

[@seanmclaughlin7415]

This is due to people overspending on houses that are excessively over inflated. It also has to do with government interference with “band aide policies” that throw things out of balance. Covid BAD policy also exacerbated this mess.

[@maverick2587]

But when interest rates drop, many home owners who didn't sell because of their low interest rate mortgages will be more inclined to sell so that will increase market supply and therefore reduce home prices as demands will continue to be low despite lower interest rates given the continued increase in debts held by Americans

[@FatCatHash]

But those people who sell would most likely also need to buy which means supply increases, but demand also increases essentially cancels out. Unless the majority of the sellers are looking to rent, move in with relatives, or own multiple homes.

[@chesian]

Those who would care about the interest rate means they would be selling and buying another home, so per the first reply, supply and demand don't shift much. Those who don't care about the interest rate, aka not looking to buy after selling, would just sell now.

I agree with the two responses above and would add that it’s likely that home prices will hold up and possibly increase.

[@SandraDave.]

Contemplate shifting your investments from real estate to other dependable options such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, or precious metals. Severe recessions present potential buying opportunities in the market, but it's essential to approach them cautiously due to the volatility that can provide short-term trading possibilities. While not offering financial advice, it could be prudent to consider investing, given that holding onto cash may not be ideal during this period.

[@nicolasbenson009]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making.

Most apartment developers are "merchant builders." They build, stabilize (lease-up), and sell. They don't stay in the investment to collect long term rental income. They typically get bought out by REITs, pensions funds, etc. With that said, it is very hard to make new apartment projects pencil in the current environment, with a 50-year peak in supply holding down rents. The projects delivering today were started years ago in the ZIRP (zero interest rate period) when project economics where vastly different.

You have really overthought this. Regarding the US market, you need millions of distressed sellers for there to be a crash. There are about 140 million housing units in the US. 42% have no mortgage. Of the 58% that have mortgages, 25% have a mortgage under 3%. 65% of all mortgages are under 4%. These people are not in a hurry to sell. What would they buy instead. going from 3.5% on your current mortgage to 7% on a new purchase effectively doubles your monthly payment. Most people are not going to do this. I have 26 or so properties and I don't see me selling anything in the foreseeable future. What I really take exception to is your first article. There are plenty of affordable homes accross the US. The headline should have been that 40% of renters don't think they will ever own a home "that they want to own." There are plenty of homes that they could own. Don't over think this. If the 30 year mortgage drops into the 5's% you will see a huge upswing in home prices in desirable locations adding to this cycle.

[@zkkjc29]

agreed, and saying 40% of renters don't think they will ever own a home doesn't mean there is no demand.

[@toinengwyn3935]

Financial security trumps fixed low rates. Layoffs continue to rise aggressively, and incomes continue to fall behind the cost of living. And, as the video pointed out, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs are not fixed. Having no mortgage still means that housing expenses are still rising. Demand is so low today that it won't take a massive amount of distressed sellers to get the ball rolling. Back in 20087-2008, the failure rate of loans only had to tick up a few percentage points higher to send the market reeling. If rates drop, it will be because the economy is in dire straits. Credit may be cheap, but few will be willing to borrow or lend.

[@markpoultonsrules]

@@toinengwyn3935 You need to do a whole lot of more data gathering on the real estate market. Most of what you said is incorrect. Although I would tend to agree that the cost of house (taxes, etc) will increase, it is a logical fallacy to say they will. Property taxes decreased after 2008. Demand is not low. It is quite high compared to available units for sale. The reason demand is lower than it naturally would be is because of the golden handcuffs of a 30 year low interest mortgage and the fact that you cannot sell your current house and even if you downsize, your monthly payment will be much more than you are currently paying. You can make an argument that incomes are falling, but that is geographical in nature. The government is showing that real wages are actually increasing, albeit slower than inflation. The current market is almost entirely caused by low interest fixed rate mortgages.

[@toinengwyn3935]

@@markpoultonsrules "You need to do a whole lot of more data gathering on the real estate market. Most of what you said is incorrect. " What is incorrect? Golden handcuffs are only good as long as you can keep up with your current expenses -- generally through a steady stream of income that outpaces costs. Since 1973, average real wages have increased .7%. That is at best stagnant. Per Fannie Mae, only 6% of current mortgage holders cited low interest rates as the reason for staying put. Per the Fed and various studies, the vast majority of RE failures in the wake of the GFC occurred because of job losses and/or being upside down. In other words, you can't pay a fixed low rate with no income. Housing and other living costs may fall in the future. But this would most likely require a major recession accompanied by severe job losses and deflation in asset prices, including RE. Low demand is today is largely attributable to historically high prices while credit is no longer cheap or easy. Current sales are lower today than they were in 1999 despite the currently higher population. Interest rates were about the same or higher back then. But prices were a fraction of what they are now.

Preventing municipalities from using lead pipes as intake pipes from their water sources prevents harm to children's brains. This type regulation is good all of the time.

I'm a real estate agent. Housing market in Atlanta is still very HOT. 670k house in a top school district went on the market and over a weekend it received 60 offers. I would say house prices in Atlanta is still very cheap compared to other big cities. And I believe prices will continue to go up due to the very main reason, limited supply.

Another year, another year of no housing crash. People have been screaming housing crash for FOUR YEARS now. Between my house and investments, it has been the greatest 5 years of wealth building in my entire life. Even better than pre 2008. You should always own at least one home, even if you rent it out, and always be continuously investing in the market. Forget about timing, it is about time in the market. Always be in for the long haul. A lifetime of investing never goes wrong, ride those ebbs and flows to long term prosperity.

[@warrenerickson4159]

My 3 reasons home prices will crash: 1. AI and Robotics will slash new home prices dramatically. 2. Investors will be forced to sell by politicians, who will make their ownership illegal. 3. Boomer's estates will be looted by nursing homes leaving nothing for their heirs. Of these, tech will be the biggest blindside as it always has been in the past.

Homeownership rate has already dropped 20 bps from its recent high. Which is equivalent to around 500k households. Expected to continue falling. As far as home builders pivoting towards multi family. Not true. Most SFH developers don’t operate in multi. Multifamily has exploded in popularity because of the fundamentals and availability of cheap debt which isn’t available to SFH developers.

Real estate thrives under demand-pull inflation (good economic times). We are experiencing cost-push inflation where the cost of everything is rising faster than incomes are. This does not help the RE market historically.

[@toinengwyn3935]

​@@w3s77 I'd be indeed as clueless and blissfully ignorant as you are if I ignored that the fact that the economy, and the RE market, are very different from what they were 50 years ago. Home buyers and the market are far more indebted today and therefore very susceptible to economic shocks (e.g. inflation and recession). See 2008 for a more recent example. 1. In the 70's, the real estate price to median household income ratio was never higher than 4.41. The price to income ratio is currently 7.61. 2. In the 70's, the savings rate was never below 9%. Today, it is below 4%. 3. In 1979, the average down payment was 25%. Today, the average down payment is closer to 10-15%. FHA loans represent a new form of subprime mortgages with down payments as low as 3%. 4. In the 1970's, banks kept mortgages on their books. Since the 2000's, lenders have heavily packaged and sold mortgages as tradable securities. Thus, RE has become highly speculative. 5. Today, owners treat their houses as investments rather than as shelter. Thus, a vast amount of debt has been taken out to establish AirBnb's, HELOC's, and hedge fund real estate portfolios.

Im in St Augustine Florida, St. John County (right next to Jacksonville, oldest city in country) population has grown by 50% in the last 10 years. They are building new houses and apartment complexes at a staggering rate. Almost everything everyone says about other places do not apply here. Everyone is moving here. Its almost all wealthy northerners moving here too. Its a very expensive place to live. We don't have affordable places for the labor/teachers/cops etc. to live so we are building a bunch of affordable housing (1,000 sq ft or less homes) that emt/teacher/cop/county will get priority sales on. They need to quit building 350k+ houses and build WAY more 2 bed 1 bath neighborhoods like they just started building. Seems like we figured out we need it and have started building smaller but more affordable houses though. Long as all the dems moving here don't take their dumb ass policies with them that destroyed the places they were before, we will remain the shining house on the hill. Since DeSantis took over we went from purple to red and everyone is moving to Florida now. All the cops form NY quit the force there and are moving here for the $5,000 bonuses for cops and $45k starting salary with low crime rates. TGIF thank god I live in Florida. Our economy never even slumped from covid, we shut down for 2 weeks, within 2 months everyone said f it haha.
