Realtors are going Bankrupt

[@DorathyJoy]

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

[@bernadofelix]

Personally, I can connect to that. When I began working with Margaret Johnson Arndt, a fiduciary financial counsellor, my advantages were certain. In these circumstances, I would always advise getting professional help so they can steer you through choppy markets and just give you indicators and strategies for knowing when to enter and exit the market.

Bidding wars are created by individual investors, and/or numbered company investors, being in the market. If governments had done their job and capital gains taxed short term house flippers out of the market, the number of potential buyers would have been reduced and there would have been less incentive to go for the presentation date sales method. Not the agents fault. Agents just react to the realities of the market. Listing agents do not represent the buyers, they act on the wishes of their clients.

[@notanothershrubbery]

@donm2067 No, owners, selling in a market inflated by the presence of individual and corporate investors, took what the market would give them. No remorse, just business. Agents are not the moral compass of property owners listing their homes, they just do what the property owners want them to do. I am buying a used Toyota SUV hybrid at a Toyota dealer tomorrow. Do I blame the sales person, getting commission, that the sales manager would not move on the price since there are no other used SUV hybrids on the lot? No. When demand outstrips supply, that is what happens. When investors are allowed into the real estate market, demand is larger than supply. Agents do not control supply or demand.

[@JosephMcEntee99]

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.

We had our home priced low to bring in bids and it worked but didn't get the highest offer due to no approved mortgage and wanting home inspection. Our home was 60 years old and new roof, havoc system. It did need some TLC like painting and the basement so we wanted to sell as we were downsizing. As it worked out we sold the home in one week in Aug. 2023. We managed to buy a older condo with 1100 sq. feet with no mortgage and our monthly expenses went from $3,000. to $800. a month. Which is good when going into retirement in our case. It is all how much you are willing to cut and how to survive the best you can. Also want to say a lot of realtors are still looking at sellers to bid high so they get the most return from it. I went through seven realtor interviews before we picked one.

Another great video. The hate towards developers is entirely justified and super simple. It's because they are profiting directly from a crisis. And shelter is a basic need. Also, historically, they lobbied to remove public entities like the CMHC from the building. And now, in Ontario, one of the most bold-faced acts of corruption in the province's history is based around a government leveraging a crisis to help developers acquire previously reserved land. And ultimately, an exclusively private system will not solve the housing crisis because it's fundamentally against their interests. People know this and resent the developers. Imagine if water was controlled by a profit-driven entity and there was a drought. It's a logical extreme, but the same idea.

5% is pretty high especially in the Toronto housing market. For a 1 million dollar house that's 50k, or 25k for each realtor. There is no way that the realtor does 25k worth of work to help buy or sell a house. I'm sorry that is overpaid. That being said, this is not a secret, and so the market became flooded with them, and now they actually have to work to get clients. They are more like sales people now, a bit annoying if you ask me.

Those parasites are getting what is coming to them. In my opinion they are not even required in todays marketplace.

This realtor told me that (1) I needed to pay whatever the seller asked, and (2) square footage which is one of the factors I used in arriving at my offer price was apparently not a consideration in the pricing of real estate.

A home that will do nothing but cost the buyer money. Combine that with a banking industry which ends up costing you 3 times the original mortgage price by the time you are done paying it off and its obvious there is something very very rotten in the real estate and mortgage industry.

I was making offers over the phone without seeing the property and closing with seller lawyer from my home office desk.... it was stupid simple and as an older man I was shocked I could make an offer with $1000 deposit on a $800,000 property and close a month later with 6 pieces of paper that took me 6 minutes to fill out...

Would love to see the adverts bragging about "bought below asking"

[@angelomarcuzzi1707]

Realtors have always been the common denominator in the cost of real-estate ! Their greed and corruption sparked this massive disaster ! There are very few respectful agents and I was always fortunate to find a good one but you definitely need to do ground work ! Having said that if the realtors are suffering ask the “ DEVIL for SYMPATHY “ ! Most of us won’t shed a “ 💧” !!

[@AlexJ.Goldsmith]

What, I love realtors, Jordan, ye are the coolest and bad asses ever. Whenever I see a post or a TV show on realtors I'm on it like a car bonnet. I'm here for folks like you, bro. You guys kill it every time, and I could listen to you talk about your field all feckin' day and night, man. 💯👏

[@irveywaite5105]

Most realtors are scam artists don’t trust what they say check it out do not blindly trust 👌🏽

[@jokcho5]

House of cards market. Rates went up to a modest 6% and all hell broke loose. Disgusting.

[@jacqueswang3722]

Your video content is the most informative yet funny on youtube

[@Chibling]

Commissions should not be paid at all on the most expensive things possible.

[@Bonnet2011]

Hi @precondo (Jordan) can you make a video about developers and builders profitability? We keep hearing how they are forced to slow/stop projects but are they really dying financially or are they just trying to maximize profits? It's hard to really understand why they are not building at a time of need like this and why licenses aren't tied to a minimum numbers of units built per year.. Especially considering the size of this industry, it's hard for us to believe that these guys are struggling. We just keep hearing stories about corrupt developers who bring nothing but leverage to the table. Can they be replaced by AI as well? lol. People are pissed and it looks like you're in a good position to educate and honestly debunk some of the miss conceptions about the industry. Thank you

[@79nsg]

Lol "Mercedes CLA in pearl white" 😂

[@johnrobwhyte]

lot of talk about housing shortage but none about all the investors that will capitulate at the bottom of the market.

[@saadkphotos]

Could you explain the right chart shown in the 9:25 mark? Also, in the chart on the left, what is the absolute cost of the government share of the value? Is this charged fixed to each unit, or dependent on unit size/cost/other factors?

[@jonathankr]

2:40 if someone tried to do my job after 2 months of studying and only did it part time, 1) they would get fired in less than 24 hours. 2)they would cost my company a huge loss. 3) imagine where your job could be replaced by a standard contract??? 4)1% is too high.

[@toothy99]

Thank you for touching on this topic! Very factual

[@keepitreato]

Great video. 99% of Agents are scum. And I am an agent. Won't work much anymore Toronto real estate is done especially the precon market. There will be 30-40% default rates starting in 2024. One word. Nobu

[@IS-jy3dx]

Realtors will largely be gone the way of travel agents, large tech companies will provide this service for a fraction of the cost!

[@veronicalee5937]

Saw this coming 18 months ago......I put my License in Escrow.....I have NO intention on paying FEES every month and NO $$$ coming in! When this even outs in about 2025-2026 I'll get my License out of Escrow. Or When I see the foreclosures coming in gangbusters I'll get back into my niche of "Short Sales". PLENTY of Investors waiting for the bottom to happen. I feel sorry for anyone who actually bought a home in the last 3 years or so as their OVERPRICED home wont be worth what they paid and they will be upside down at the closing table and need to bring cash to the closing. I told all my buyers NOT to buy ANYTHING the past 3 years, to keep renting/staying where they are and GET DEBT FREE AND SAVE! SOME LISTENED, SOME DIDN'T and went with other Agents.....Oh well!

[@Daniel.r-o8x]

Bro ur an honest dude

[@sscbkr48]

That's so sad. 😁

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

I don’t hate on “realtors’ as mentioned here this crappy inflated market only serves the big fish, top dogs, who get listings because there’s so few especially on “entry level” homes. Even during the pandemic I bet most realtors sold little because of low supply, but the big fish love this market, Someone I know put up a cardboard sign in the beaches in 2020 and sold their house in 3 hours iduring the pandemic, lol

[@edwardt2417]

The argument that blind bidding is bad because a bunch of bids will be near the asking price which isnt what the seller really wants is a STUPID argument. This situation would never happen if sellers and agents representing them just list the property for what they really want. Nobody goes into a store and sees a shirt with a price tag of $50, and is then told when they go to the cashier that the store really wants $80 for the shirt! So why the heck do realtors play this time wasting stupid game? If sellers and agents dont want people to offer a price they dont really want, then simply list the property for what you are expecting for it!!!!!

[@vsoco]

How is the province of Alberta able to produce much cheaper housing, like condos in the 200k range?

[@TwinsDragon3]

Great analogies and luv the transparency. More R/E tools on the market then ever before and AI will certainly improve the buyer and sellers experience but I believe their will always be a need for realtors. Many people just don't have the knowledge, time, energy or experience to sell their home. I know many realtors that got out of the industry in the early 90's after the late 80's R/E crash and the creation of the Internet, well before your time I bet....lol. I'm sure many wished they stayed in the game given the 20+ years of growth and value appreciation after that.

[@SerenaCavanaugh]

in BC we have double the amount of realtors we need. IMO we have triple. Cut the commissions in half. Do more work. End the practice of following clients around to open houses and wasting their time. It's unnecessary

[@ykhov]

Nature is healing.

[@kevinn1158]

I have a question about reconstruction condo sales. Do the developers first sell to agents ie the agent buys 50-100 units (so the developer can prove the building is sold), who in turn sell to the endusers?

[@louismartin4446]

Wait…I cannot get over the slide that says government makes 31% of the profit from new developments? Did I hear that correctly?

[@beautanner8409]

Our glut of realtors should put on some gloves and start building houses - alleviate this apparent labor shortage we keep hearing about.

[@a.a.p3254]

Very informative thanks for sharing! Cheers 🇨🇦

[@deedunk8383]

Doesn't surprise me this is happening. Prices got out of control.

[@ciso344]

How are developers going bankrupt after this insane real estate bull run? How can they not finance their own builds? Did they not make any profit in the last 20 years of this bull run?

[@MentionBiscuit]

Exactly!!!

[@y.g.1313]

Amazing quality analysis. Thank you.👍

[@thecanadianrealestateshow]

What can we do to speed up the purge?

[@keytothegate68]

Not the realtors fault ,as you can see 60% of them either don't make ANY money or make very little.

[@davidkosmayer6555]

Some really good points in this video
