This Is Why Housing Prices Aren’t Dropping!

[@Renee-b5b]

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.

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.

[@BridgetMiller-]

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!

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

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.

Two weeks later (or so), we found our current house that was a bank owned property that just had a price drop and was under our range. We offered, they accepted and we've been here 16 years. Love this house... The other one, I know it didn't sell for at least another six months when I stopped checking up on it (I was just wondering). Apparently that owner was just really stubborn.

As i am a seller I have been posting my house for sale by owner FSBO and i only get calls from agents bagging me to list it in MLS i keep saying no for commission no for MLS . But the question is why the buyer won't look at themselves to buy houses directly from the owner and save them money why i have to pay buyer agent since i am doing my self open house and i am trying to do good business like reducing pricing for the seller i don't understand this . I am going to take it off the market very soon since the seller only likes to use agents to buy . i bought my house 8 years ago directly from the owner we went to the Title company and got an inspection done then my bank and the Title company worked together and after 28 days I became the owner of the house saved a lot of money bought new furniture and went for a trip i can't ask for more than that

[@BitsOfInterest]

They did exactly the right thing, look for what similar houses sell for. I still see houses come on the market way too high and then they cut $10-20k every two weeks for months 😂

[@flauze]

How much does someone have to make to afford a 450k home ?

[@stevenrowlandson9650]

$150,000 per year or more. 25% down payment with the balance financed at a fixed rate for the next 25 years. Or equal to or less than 3 years pay for one person and 25% down payment with the balance financed at a fixed rate for the next 25 years. My preferred version of the 3 years pay rule is equal to or less than 3 years pay at minimum wage for one person and 25% down payment with the balance financed at a fixed rate for the next 25 years. One has to look at the worst case scenario and act responsibly. Pandering to other peoples money itches isn't responsible and harms society through escalating costs of living. Real estate is just a place to live and or do business. It should never be an investment.

Stubborn sellers do not need to sell. What they see is a chance to make money not the need to sell. A real seller has a need to sell for various reasons.

[@V1K1NGSBLOOD]

In alot of the cases the home "owner " has no choice. If they have no equity in the home they can't sell it for less, the lender will be the end seller.

[@macjrc]

@@V1K1NGSBLOOD you’re right and a good realtor can check on that for you as well up to a point. Dates of recent mortgages/refinancing is there for them to see. I usually send this along with comps to clients so they can see if there is room for the seller to move in the price and we look at any upgrades that have been done since the time of the mortgage and try and factor that in as well into the offer.

A message to home buyers. Offer equal to or less than 3 years pay for one person at minimum wage. Do that and don't bend over ever. Live within your means and don't submit to financial gross indecency. If you get stonewalled walk away from the situation.

450k price was way too low. Only lowball if you don’t care to lose the house and the house has been listed for longer then 30 days. Some sellers will not entertain other offers from you after.

[@cpK054L]

Lowball at 60. I sold my house in 3 days because I was listing just below comps, but the first offer I got was over asking...but they wanted almost 12k in concessions. Still above asking

[@John1908-vo1iv]

450 was not a low ball offer. Why is 5k below a low ball offer? Maybe 50-75k below, but not 5k. Prior to Covid, offering 5-10% below listing price was the usual custom. Sellers always list higher for this reason, and they still got the fair price they wanted.

[@lalalalalalalala4264]

Many buyers are liars. They will lie that the home is for them to raise a family but after the home is sold to them, it's on Zillow for rent. Sellers should always try to get the highest price possible.

​@lalalalalalalala4264 - I actually have plenty of savings and I own my home free and clear, while you have a mortgage. You obviously have buyers' remorse because you are selling your home. Is not cheap to list a home. I will be one of those smart buyers who will scoop up my next house from distressed buyers like you, you bought at the height of the bubble. I don't care if you bought at 3%, you overpaid and now you are underwater. At the end, patient buyers will win.

YOU DEFINITELY DON'T OWN A HOME, because you sound like a broke and desperate person hoping for the market to crash so you can afford to buy. If you're truly a homeowner, you wouldn't be that desperate to wish for a foreclosure. You obviously think every sellers are in the same situation, desperate to sell and bought at the height of the market.

You sound like a broke desperate person hoping for the market to crash so you can finally be able to buy one. Doom and gloom like you will never be a homeowner. So why didn't you buy in 2008? Even if the market crash, you still couldn't afford it, because you're broke.

I can smell dishonesty from a mile away. You overstretched yourself and overpaid for a house at 3% but hey, you won the bidding wars and waived inspection and appraisal! Plus most likely your prop tax and insurance doubled at least. So stop lying, you are forced to sell. Hope it will work out for you and hope you can avoid foreclosure!

I left it vacant for over a year, and more concern about squatters. Has nothing to do with not being able to afford it. My husband is an engineer, my in-laws are retired medical doctors.

I can understand someone making a low ball offer 4-5 months later but 1-2 weeks, and they wonder why the seller doesn't give a f*ck.

I wonder how many of these buyers are willing to accept low ball offers once they become sellers? But then again, buyers like these will likely never be homeowners.

We had been looking for a house for a couple months when we found the house we bought in Spring 21, AS SOON as it listed, I emailed the agent and told her DONT SELL THAT HOUSE! She replied back with CALL ME! So I did, we did a contract over the phone, we gave the seller their asking price, they accepted our contract, and gave their tenants a 30 notice to move, they were in the process of buying their own home anyway since both hubby and wife were cops, they got first responder discounts etc etc, ALL. WITH. IN. 4. HOURS! We paid for appraisal, came in great and this is rural USA, No 2 homes are the same, so zero comps, we paid for inspection, seller fixed or replaced the small things the inspection found, seller paid closing costs, Been her ever since, 2nd best thing was buying our e-bike.
