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.

[@tmer831]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want 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.

[@SteveDutton-v]

The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage rules are getting more difficult, and home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. For now, get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. If you are at a cross roads or need honest advice on the best moves to take now, it is best to seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@SeanTalkoff]

I will be happy getting assistance and glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one?

[@adamcarlesco1650]

I think the elephant in the room with all of these discussions is that we have seen the human population octuple in about two human lifespans. Keep in mind that it took roughly 2,000 years for the global population to add a billion people from Ancient Greece to mid 1800s, yet we just added a whole billion people in 11 years (2011-2022). In 1820, the global population was roughly 1 billion; then by 1920, it was 1.8 billion; yet by 2023 we surpassed 8 billion! Yet with the exact same amount of land. This was never going to be a sustainable trajectory. We've lost 70% of all wildlife since 1970 and we're expected to have more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050, yet this conversation only ever hinges upon making lines on imaginary dot-plot charts keep rising.

[@Aarrenrhonda3]

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 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.

[@Peterl4290]

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.

[@larrypaul-cw9nk]

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.

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

[@larrypaul-cw9nk]

Regarding these companies, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Locating financial consultants who can help you shape your portfolio, such as Annette Christine Conte, would be a highly innovative choice. There is a rough patch ahead of us, and getting through it will need careful personal money management.

I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

Investing in real estate and stocks might be a wise choice, particularly if you have a sound trading plan that can get you through profitable days.

[@brainkill7034]

Yes, when Eric spoke of the Fed now GDP prediction and discounted a few pieces to 1.0% expected gdp growth for the year, the govt deficit spending of 6%+ of gdp was not brought up. Factoring that in, the gdp growth would be negative.

2008 also is the time of the rise of the faang companies, tech oligopolies that have further exacerbated income inequality.

[@CV-nn7jj]

The source of the rise of the fang is the inflation from QE1 and QE2. These QE programs propped up asset prices ( stocks, bonds, RE, etc). This started after the 2008 crisis. The income inequality in the US is caused primarily by the Federal Reserve

[@bpb5541]

That is because of all the bailouts bail ins and the scenario that made it able for rich boomers and companies to buy up the houing market. Those folks stole from American Tax payers. We know the rich don't really pay taxes so they were leveraging. Only rich people could buy houses in the GFC the banks were not lending to most during that time. Which means what? It means if you want to take advantage of crashes you have to have cash. It's hard to build you cash up when all most all things cost 40% more then then did just 3 years ago. If you are trying to do this by just saving money it is not going to work. You have to invest... have your money make money. But now ... right now... is not the time to do that. We are in the bubble of all bubbles. Your time to do that would have been for the last 15 years when interest rates were basically at or near zero. You could have bought any of the index ETFs and done very well. Have lots of cash and could come in a buy up houses that are going to falling massively within 2 years. If you don't have the cash you will sit on the sideline and watch.

Builders only build “profitable” houses.. not affordable houses… affordable (under $350k) are still in very high demand

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

If builders are selling everything they build, then that's technically still "affordable housing" (I know that's an annoying way to look at it, but it's true, someone is affording them). But when/if they stop selling, then they'll have two bad choices (after the price cuts/incentives)...build smaller, much less profitable houses, or, stop building altogether and lay off hundreds of thousands of construction workers. I'm seeing both of those strategies being tried in the South already. But my point is that the free market always takes care of builder greed...if the Government would just step out of the way.

In Canada, everything revolves around supply and demand, with mortgage rates being the easiest way to control these factors. My clients and followers are well aware of this. Partnering with a knowledgeable Realtor who understands the dynamics of supply and demand in Ontario's real estate market is crucial for success. The global downturn following Putin's invasion of Ukraine illustrates the importance of understanding geopolitical economics and their impact on inflation, stagflation, and market fluctuations. If your real estate professional lacks this insight, you've chosen the wrong advisor. Ensure you work with true professionals; the best aren't the ones advertising on buses, billboards, and benches.

The price of residential (as well as commercial) real estate can't possibly come crashing down far enough or fast enough.

They've built enormous numbers of houses, then I see "For Sale" signs on them for long periods of time. They've built huge office buildings then I see "For Lease" signs on them, this even though existing plazas and office buildings already have a glut of empty spaces. Why are are they doing all of this building and how can they afford to keep doing this? The builders have up to their eyeballs and beyond in debt, and this during a time when interest rates are high.

I agree and if I may add. We can just layer on what caused the Great Depression (credit) and what caused the Dot Com bubble (FOMO). Next we get a liquidity, collateral, and credit crisis all at the same time. It will be the Great Depression 2.0 on steroids. If the government tries to come in and save it and sell bonds, the 10 year yield will surge higher because who is going to want to lend the US Government money? They will but at much higher yields. If we have failed auctions and the FED monetizes it (buyer of last resort) we get hyperinfaltion or more specific stagflation like no one has ever seen. We want a crash and a price reset. Rich folks that own all the assets do not want this. They want infaltion. Inflation causes asset price to rise. The rich own our politicians. So I think inflation keeps going until no one can affor anything anymore and companies fail because no one is buying anything and then unemployment surges and then we get deflation. The one thing we need to watch is when the FED Cuts rates the markets usually crash hard. So we will know soon which way this is going to go.

@@zacharys7477 Interesting, I thought half of NY moved here to Florida lol We have built off a cliff, but we will crash first.. you guys maybe a year after

[@ragnorian257]

You'd think I was in a buyers market. But the houses stay on the market for so long. Because people aren't willing to pay what the asking price is, unless they pay 1/2 cash or an investment bank buys it, which it seems banks are buying most of them

[@usaokusa]

Here in Orange County they are still fighting to buy any house on market. Even the trash house still worths over million dollars and people are bidding for it badly. I really don’t understand where money come from

[@stevechilcoat2353]

Maybe some Los Angeles County residents are moving to OC?

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

Some of it has to be a flight to safety from wealthy Chinese who don't like what they are seeing at home (aka their deflating real estate bubble). It's just too insane how people are willing to pay 950K for a dump in Buena Park.

Orange County is one of the nicest places to live in the country. Ideal weather, beaches, lots of high paying jobs and a high concentration of wealthy people. Net worth for Newport Beach residents is pushing $20 million.

Sellers market here on the Southeast side of FL. However, softening. I’m looking to relocate to the Boston area. Inventory is very tight and it’s definitely a sellers market.

I’m in West Palm Beach and it’s definitely a buyers market. Prices are falling in my neighborhood; and the inventory is excelled more than it has been in the past 11 years.

For now. We need to wait for the yield curve to reinvert. Let's see if we can stick this soft no landing. If hisotry is any guide we are in for a horrible recession when that happens.

How can it NOT happen? We've printed almost 70% of the USD in circulation in the last 15 years. See Rome's collapse.

Eric is a clown. Eric needs to review the concept of a rolling recession. The manufacturing sector and technology sector lost many jobs in the summer of 2022 when GDP when negative for two quarters. The transportation sector has lost many jobs since the summer of 2023 to the current period and the manufacturing sector continues to lose jobs as does the technology sector.
