Hi! I found this text interesting. Predictions of a Russian seer made on February 27, 2022 in the village of Plenitsino. Question: What is Putin up to in Ukraine? Answer: This is his most important and last mission, for which he came to this world. Question: Mission? Answer: Yes. Answer: And what is it? Question: Change this world. Question: Why? Answer: The time has come. Question: Why Putin? Answer: They chose it themselves (he pointed up with his hand). Question: Explain? Answer: Higher powers. Question: And who are they? Answer: In Tuva. Question: Why there? Answer: They probably determined the location themselves… Question: And who are the intermediaries? Answer: There are two of them. The strongest shaman of the planet and a lama from Tibet. Question: What are they talking about? Answer: I can't know that. Recently, the transition from the dark age of Pisces to the light age of Aquarius has begun on earth. This is one of the cosmic cycles that lasts for several millennia. The earthly civilization is moving to a new spiritual level, in short… Russia is under the patronage of Aquarius. This country will rule for the next millennia… But it won't happen suddenly. Every year there is an acceleration. Everything will change… Question: Of course, this is all interesting, but what does Ukraine have to do with it? Answer: This is her sacred mission. Ukraine will sacrifice itself for the sake of millions of lives on the whole planet. Question: I'm sorry, I don't understand why Ukraine? Answer: Ukrainians are Russians with a changed mentality. The forces of evil have been actively decomposing them for the last 30 years… And they succeeded. Question: And who are the "forces of evil"? Answer: Western civilization. Question: It turns out that Putin has declared war on the West? Answer: No. Putin was forced to accept the challenge… It was the West that declared war on Russia in 14. The West organized a coup in Ukraine and allowed the genocide of Russians in the Donbas. Putin tried for 8 years to settle the conflict in the Donbas, Minsk-1 Minsk-2... But he was deceived. Question: Why did Putin announce a special operation on February 24, 2022? Answer: Ukraine has concentrated 170 thousand troops on the border with Donbass and planned an offensive on February 25. Putin understood that Donbass would not stand, hundreds of thousands of people would die... He knew about this in advance, so back in December 21, he put forward an ultimatum to the United States and NATO on security guarantees. The West deliberately chose the path of war, but with the hands of Ukrainians. Question: Why does the West need a war? Answer: This is a dying civilization. The total debt of the USA is 170 trillion dollars, the EU 12 trillion euros. Throughout their history, they have lived at the expense of colonies and wars… Question: It turns out that Putin had no choice but to answer… Answer: Yes. But he was not ready for such a war… Question: What kind of "such a war"? Answer: Fratricidal war. Putin does not yet know how hard this war is being given to him… This is not Crimea, where millions of people gladly accepted the Russian world. It will be a protracted war… The whole world will blindly take the side of Ukraine. This is not a war for Ukraine, but for the global world order! Question: And who will win? Answer: Russia. In the future, Ukrainians will find out the truth and curse America. There will be no such state anymore. Question: When will the war end? Answer: In a year and a half. Question: What about Western civilization, what will happen to it? Answer: It will self-destruct. Irreversible processes are running... Europe will fall first, followed by America. Catastrophic events will occur... Nature itself will punish them. Question: What will happen to Russia? Answer: It will slowly begin to revive, by the age of 35 it will become the strongest and most attractive country to live in… Question: Will there be a war with China? Answer: No. China is expecting a "Great Depression". Question: Will Putin remain president after 2024? Answer: No. Question: Who will become the new president of Russia? Answer: There are already three candidates, one of them is a woman. Who exactly - I have no right to say. Question: Who will be president in the USA? Answer: Trump. But not for a full term. Question: Last question… How do you know all this? Answer: Everything I see is forbidden to voice, but what I have already said, you will be able to check in the near future.

You missed one (kinda). 4. You have a long term outlook on owning a home. For example, people buying 1 bedroom condos even though they may be getting married in a year or two and may have a need to move up to a larger place. Maybe buying that 1 bedroom isn't a good idea as you may not be able to get out of it. Or maybe you are not quite settled in your job or career and might need to relocate for a different job. If you can't hold a home for at least five years, it probably isn't a good move right now.

[@AGallegos288]

Another consideration is that because prices and rates are high there is much less competition which allows people to actually buy their ideal homes instead of settling for any house they can get their hands on

[@monicarenee7949]

I bought at listing but was able to get closing costs paid. I’m ok with watching prices dip, instead of sitting in this apartment paying over 2k a month for half the square footage and no back yard, with a kid and two dogs who desperately want to be outside.

@@thomasreedy4751 while this is true you have to factor in those expenses. I also agree with the original comment. For myself, I need a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath either townhouse/condo or home. In my area apartments and houses are running 3000-3800 for just that. A house in a city outside of me 2 bed / 2 bath is around 2600. If I chose the home outside of my city I still will have money for all the other expenses that come with a home as if I were to rent my 3200 would be going to just rent. I went to visit a townhouse and the rent was sky high because she needed the solar panels being paid, the HOA fees etc. I would of been paying that…. Why not have my own? Yes it’s important to know it’s not just mortgage. But many of us renters are paying SKY high rent. By the time I get done bidding on a place and paying 6 months rent in advance (because that’s what’s happening on the market right now) and a deposit JUST to get a place to rent why not put that money into my own house???

Any gains you might make by owning will be largely eaten up by ongoing maintenance/repairs. Landscaping and lawn work never ends.

[@MsPbass]

Correction, never ask a BAD realtor advice about buying a house. I learned in my first time home buyer class to interview several agents before making a selection. In my personal experience, all of the agents that my husband and I interviewed (except for 1) were honest about the market and the overall home buying experience. Choose an agent that does not NEED to sell a home right away. If they will work with you for as long as it takes for you to find a home that one indicator. Realtors that do not have reserves, or strong consistent history of selling homes serveral homes (at varying prices points) and/or other steams of income likely need money quickly so they will pressure you to buy now and if you don't will move on to the next client. Also, some areas are a buyers market and others are still really hot are still a sellers market which is why it's very important to have a strong knowledge of the market where you plan to purchase (your agent should also). However, overall we are currently in a BALANCED maket.

High interest rates combined with raised home prices and only 15 k saved is not enough for a one person buyer. Even making just under 90k a year in Texas with a 790 credit score . This vid just further solidified my choice to wait. Id rather save more money then sacrifice my savings just to say I have a house and pay 2k on just the mortgage.

[@killerreef7397]

But at the same time we don’t know what the future will hold… is the market really going to crash again? Or will it just dip a little bit, If it only dips a little then it doesn’t matter if you’re not planning on selling.

[@dieanugh]

@@killerreef7397 Well Ideally I want to buy low, it's in my best interest. Property taxes in Texas add $400 to my mortgage payment. My monthly net income is $4,264 ;with me putting 18% in retirement. A house worth 245k puts me at monthly payment of 2k. Thats half my net income, not even sustainable. The combo of high tax rates,and interest rates,inflated housing costs just makes me house broke. And just like that making just under 90k is meaningless.

the question should be..can we afford to buy a house right now...not should we... i was able to afford 1mil at 2.8% last year... now interest rate is @ 6.2% and i can only afford around 800k... but the house price didnt fall 20% ... so the answer is...no i cannot afford the house... i dont hv the options to chose buy or not buy right now..... 😑

[@ColinGHd]

I liked the use of numbers and charts. What this told me as an engineer tho is… sellers are getting scared, and if you find the right house with the right seller (who also has a urgency to move), you have the opportunity to make a deal with less competition. The excitement on my face when I saw that 5k buyers count number. I can’t compete with 400k cash offers, and I’m willing to pay 30k extra now cause I’ll hold all my properties for a long, long time. Obviously I’m willing to hear the counter argument to this logic, as it’s in my best interest.

How much do you think houses will go down by chance? I hate some KZbinrs that have the fire thumbnails and say everything is crashing when, in my opinion, I see it correcting and balancing and probably not much appreciation for a few years but that’s jus let me. For how much home prices went up the last 2-3 years, I don’t really think it’s a big deal if prices go down 10-20%. But I’m curious of what you are thinking?

[@everydaybodybuilding2282]

I mean in most places a correction would be a lot more than 10-20%. Average family houses in ohio have gone up like 100-150k in the last 2 years. Call it a correction or a crash, they are gonna come down a lot lol.

I enjoy your honest approach, keep up the transparency! IMO, I think for reasons you touched on that it will be worse than "2008" (which started in 2006). Realtors are not the only thing this everything bubble has engorged the pockets of... think of everyone in PHX that is a part of the housing market. Title/loans/escrow/contractors/builders/speculators/ the dude working at McDonald's for $18/hr because the guy before him left to go make $25 in construction. This not only happened in PHX but arround the world, we are already hearing of construction companies in the US going insolvent. As the fed continues to raise rates and just starts to sell its assets that it bought which includes MBS this will cause the 10yr bnd to go up causing 30yr rates to go up. Further deflating this everything asset bubble. The only markets in IMO scheduled for bigger deflation than housing is stocks and cars. My friend works for a large Home Loan Servicing company as a portfolio analyst. They have restructured all the loans in forbarnce which was 600 billion worth of loans. Many of these people are already starting to default again. We have almost 2million homes waiting to hit the foreclosure market (Which will take your mls 19k too 25k IMO). All this while about 35% of Phoenix's workforce is related to housing/construction. Turning this into a deflationary death spiral. Allowing those where called "morons" (not buy you) for not jumping in to pick up assets and change their generational wealth if they don't sell and waste it on a new "Escalade" to floss. Keep up the good work man!

What about New Construction Homes. I'm a single father with 3 children, one income and I was able to lock in 4.75 interest rate, closing cost paid, plus incentives for the home (washer, dryer, blinds and garage door opener). I think first time home buyers still have a chance but not on pre-existing homes but New Construction. Plus if you wait 5 yrs the home should hold its value and you will have decent amount of equity if yo want to sell.

[@krapekk]

My biggest concern is exactly this, where will home prices be in 5 years? No one knows. Houses doubling their price YOY hasn't happened before.

[@YungNrestless]

What if the seller refuses to pay your closings costs because he says he already knocked of 20,000 a month after the home hit the market. He also wants 2 grand in earnest money. Should I walk away?

In my area there is a shortage of housing be that purchase and rentals prices on houses has doubled in last 6 years I highly doubt they will change much probably keep going up

What I've always appreciated you saying is that, in this market, you should only buy if you intend to stay in the home for at least the next 5-7 years. So I agree that right now is a terrible time to buy, if your goal is to sell and turn a profit 2-3 years from now. Do you have any insight into how this is varying by market? Primarily curious about Denver because there has been a huge influx of people and it looks like demand is going to continue outpacing supply for the foreseeable future

[@peenuts2011]

I might be asking a dumb question but we closed on our house June 24th (30 minutes outside Austin TX) for 308k. It’s a 20 year old home and the location has potential for more growth but I could see it also not happening, It’s Lockhart TX. We don’t plan to leave anytime soon so this was a decision based on us wanting a house with a backyard for the dogs and the concern of rent prices in Austin. I’m just so worried I bought out of panic. It’s like the moment we closed, things changed in the market and I’m left feeling like even if we spend 20+ years in this house, we won’t see any kind of return investment. Do you have any option on my situation? Did we jump the gun? It definitely felt like we were being pressured to make it happen “before it was too late”. And we bought a freakin house just purely bc it was the one that finally accepted our offer. I feel like I don’t love it but I settled for it since it was our 18+ offer and rates were going up fast. I’m worried in the future no one will want a house built in 02 for the price we paid. By then it’ll be 40 years or so old and not the good old like the historical homes built to last centuries. Idk I think I’m just going to feel this way for a long time. Buyers remorse maybe?

[@SumanSinghTracyHomes]

You shouldn’t worry about your purchase if you plan on living there for a longer period. Enjoy your home. Don’t lose your sleep over what’s going in the market right now. The market is going through a correction but it will never be like 2008. Don’t rush into selling as you will not get the return on it yet as it usually takes about 5-7 years to build the equity with payments you make and market appreciation over period of time. We will never see the double digit appreciation like it had been in the last 2 years. Market shouldn’t have been like that. Your payments are probably cheaper than the rents out there. People need places to stay and will continue to rent or buy a house. I’m in CA and some areas are buyers market and some are still sellers market.

Everyone is going to "lose equity" - not just new home buyers. So do you want to lose 100% equity by renting, lose a massive amount of equity by buying a huge house, or lose a little equity by buying a smaller and less expensive home? The answer is easy - buy the least expensive home you can.

This is how fast housing can crash. Job layoffs, being over extended, divorce, death, relocation can all lead to having to sell your house. But what happens when you are upside down or underwater on your mortgage? You are in a negative equity position and likely will have to cut a check at closing when you sell. What if you can't do that?
