It’s 2008 all over again. Home builders reporting biggest spike in unsold homes in a decade.

[@ReventureConsulting]

$369,000 for a 2,500 SF house. Not even sure that's at replacement cost. Builders are starting to morph into a "2006-07" mode where they are still building a ton of homes despite huge headwinds in the market. Giving a 4.7% mortgage rate is equivalent to doing an additional $30-40k price cut. Scary prospect for home values in area where the builders are active. They hold pricing power. And they will push the market down. Access the data for your ZIP code on Reventure App: www.reventure.app

Good luck to anyone who buys one of these new build homes.. They are so poorly built. They throw them up like robots using the cheapest materials. There is no craftsmanship or pride. They are built to break. I am living in a "new build" from the 2006 housing boom, and it was so cheaply done, everything is uneven, the roof uses press wood instead of plywood, cheap windows, and the drywall job was so poorly done, not to mention the huge cracks in the foundation from not waiting the 30 days for the cement to cure, so I can't imagine how bad today's new builds are. Good luck to anyone who buys that crap.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

People are waiting because they have no clue what the new administration is going to do. But from the looks of it, he wants to use more debt to pump endless amounts of money into the economy. It could potentially be worse then 2008 when the "sugar rush" is done by the end of his 4 year term.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

Many people are feeling uncertain about what the new administration's plans will be. It seems like there might be a focus on increasing debt to inject more money into the economy. This could lead to challenges down the line, possibly even worse than what we saw in 2008 once any temporary boosts wear off by the end of the term.

I can verify boots on the ground that this is happening in places like Fort Myers and Punta Gorda.

I haven't seen this much new build inventory in over a decade. The real estate agents are still saying the market is still great and you better buy now before the price goes up. Yet they're giving away free pools, 4.5% interest, other free upgrades, and closing costs. I've never seen so many empty demo offices. 3 years ago there was a line going out to the front. I don't feel sorry for any of them. I have also noted what you said here, local buyers are trying to sell their two or three-year-old home even for what they paid just to get out of it, and they can't because you can get a brand new one for less. And how can you compete with the builder mortgage buydowns? It's impossible.

IMO, the issue isn't the home values or inventory, but that the non-institutional buyers are broke.

We're all being sucked dry and can't save enough. i.e. - 3-4 years ago, saving 2K a month was possible, meaning you have a down payment in about two years. Now, that same down payment, due to higher prices as well, is 6-7 years.

This! Insurance rates are going through the roof on everything.

@@Ekam-Sat I'd like to add that the reason this matters so much is that institutional investors just pay cash and therefore avoid interest entirely.

Are you saying builders add a 300% markup on the materials then add labor and other costs on top... or are you saying the all-in, final cost of a tract home is equivalent to 300% of the base materials?

[@Snoman00]

@@eddiemalvin Key word was "as high". Mark up depends on many factors, though minimum mark up is 200% of material and labor. Land usually ends up being 4x-10x. The typical $300k house costs less than $150k to build. Depending on those "upgrades", many (most) of your more expensive homes have a larger mark up. The primary misconception is the fact that "the public" uses "retail pricing" to figure out profit margins, the reality is that track home builders pay wholesale rates. Concrete for example, the public rate might be $10+/sqft for slabs, I'll pay $5. Nationwide builders buy direct from wood sources, I can't touch their pricing but I'll pay less than half of what you see in Home Depot. So yes, take your Lennar/DrHorton/Meritage/etc track home....a $300k list price home cost them about $135k to build.

If I may ask, as in withdrew all of the money from the 401K and IRA programs? If so, what was your strategy behind that decision? Thank you.

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Stacy Lynn Staples who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.

Your videos are very informative. Been watching them for a while. Good work. I was thinking of something. I wonder if the people that are going to be buying houses next year 2025 can also negotiate not being a part of HOA’s because of the headache that HOA’s have become.That’s what I would be trying to negotiate for also, at this moment in time that they’re a little more desperate to sell.

There are some communities where being a member of the HOA is optional, but otherwise you must be a member. HOA rules and regulations trump the local rules if they are stricter, at least here in Georgia.

Love for you to look in surprise Arizona tons of new build is insane out here.

As an appraiser in my previous life, it was common knowledge that builders typically steal the first five years of homeowners equity. This means that if you plan on purchasing from a builder community, you're going to be underwater for the first 5 years or at least take a loss of your down-payment. I always found it repulsive. No wonder builders hate honest appraisers.

I sure wish Australia would get this ''problem'' soon. It's the opposite and Australia desperately NEEDS much more housing.

Here in So Cal, seeing builders offering 4.99 fixed for 30, but even with the concession the payment is just so much higher than renting the equivalent, it just makes no sense. Factor in lost interest on down payment, it's even worse. Buy vs rent so out of whack. I will pay a premium to own, but not 2x.

[@mikeshafer]

Maybe they should just start with lower prices and they wouldn’t have such high supply.

My concern at this point is that most homes seem to be built where you have to pay HOA fees. That has to stop. No more HOA fees.

[@kevinc8811]

I’m not a fan of having to pay an HOA fee along with all the other expenses of owning a home but neighbors with HOA fees are typically better maintained and property values tend to remain higher than neighbors without them.

If a home builder EVER offers any concession or concessions, you better wake up and smell the coffee.
