Time to PANIC! What HOME SELLERS Have to Know RIGHT NOW!

[@nicolasbenson009]

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?

[@TinaJames222]

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.

You're not doing anything wrong; you simply lack the expertise necessary to make money in a bad market. In these difficult circumstances, only really skilled experts who were forced to witness the 2008 financial crisis could expect to generate a large wage.

[@ann419]

I think the "80-90% drop in value" means an 80-90% drop in *equity.* That's why Peter Schiff mumbles "on a cash basis" after stating the click bait line. If someone buys a $300k house and currently has $60,000 (20%) in equity, the value of the house needs to fall only 18% ($54k) for the equity to be reduced to $6k. A drop in equity from $60k to $6k is a 90% drop in equity. Said another way, if someone has 20% equity in the home, a home value decline of 16%-18% would result in an equity decline of 80%-90%.

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

No, he just means in terms of Gold...because he sells gold lol. But he's technically correct as the dollar will ALWAYS lose value against gold, so yes, someday, every home will in fact lose 80-90%, in real terms, but it won't really matter if it happens slowly and incomes inflate commensurately.

[@UrbanAssetProtection]

He's referring to the Drastic Loss in Terms of Gold: If we imagine a scenario where the value of gold increases significantly due to economic instability or hyperinflation, and home prices (in fiat) do not rise at the same pace, your home could lose 80-90% of its value when measured in gold. For example, if a home was worth 100 ounces of gold at one point, and due to economic shifts, it later is worth only 10-20 ounces, you've experienced an 80-90% loss in value in terms of gold, even if the home's price in dollars has remained the same or increased.

@@johnlabus7359 I believe that’s Sachs Reality, but the guy is a Broker and has real estate agents working for him, so I’m not sure why he’d want the market to crash. I really wasn’t trying to be a jerk either. I’m not an expert by any stretch, but I read and listen to housing market experts, loan officers, economists, and investors like George Gammon, Jeff Snider, Stephanie Pomboy, Danielle Demartino, Art Lafferty, Real Estate Mindset, and Melody Wright and there is a lot going on in our economy and Globally that’s going to impact assets (stocks, houses, commercial real estate, pension funds, etc.). Thing is, it takes a long time for assets to start going down because our government does everything they can to keep assets high when they consistently inject liquidity into the market. We probably would have already seen a turn had it not been for Government involvement. That’s the wild card, signs have been trending for the last two years that something bad was coming, and we inch closer to that catastrophic event happening. For housing, I highly recommend listening to Melody Wright. She is very analytical and digs into the data, as well as provides a detailed explanation of that data.

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

In many if not most cities in America, prices peaked in May/June 2022 (type in FRED MSPUS in Google if you don't believe me), so those people who have been "incorrectly calling for a crash for years" will actually end up being correct since mid 2022 if the crash continues and or accelerates for the next couple of years (which both math and history say will happen).

I’m all for optimism but this video will not age well..We heard the same sentiment from real estate agents/brokers right before the 2008 real estate crisis and homes are more over valued (above the mean average) now than they were then,not to mention our looming debt crisis.We just had 56,000 contracts cancelled in july (height of the buying season) which is the most in july in our history.I also remain optimistic but a typical mean reversion of 25-35% in areas that experienced growth is most likely in the cards.Regarding Peter Schiff and his prediction it does seem outlandish i agree but lets not forget he and Michael burry were the only two who correctly called the 2008 housing crash and everyone called them crazy back then as well for what its worth🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jimdrums4life499]

Only reason the crash hasn't happened is because we've printed about 60% of the $USD in circulation in the last 15 years!!!- making the bubble and next crash exponentially bigger. It's just a question of 'when'.

[@youtubechannels9205]

If you sell your house for $1 billion and 1oz of gold is $1 billion, then your house crashed over 90%. That's what Shiff meant. It happened in 1920s Germany. He said real money, not dead dollars.

[@sunso1991]

Peter Schiff's 80-90% loss is "in terms of real money" and investment property (1:43). I watched that episode 2 weeks ago. what he is talking about is the equity you have investment property will dwindle in the next 10-20 years due to ever growing inflation assessment property taxes and insurance requirement, coupled with lower property demand. where income/revenue is not growing fast enough to cover the run away cost. and when you sell, you either sell at a real loss due to lowered demand (already happening in San Fran and NYC. or like AT&T Center in St. Louis was sold in 2024 for 3 million, an 98% reduction from its former $205 mil sold price in 2006). or sell at the inflated price and got taxed on the gain, but after property tax, maintenance cost, you actually lost money in the investment. compare to holding gold or a diversified investment portfolio

[@sarawilliam696]

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.

[@1138prometheus]

The 90% number is probably exaggerated for shock value but I think what a lot of Realtors are missing cuz believe me they did the last time as well. The decline does not take place in a 12-month period or in a "buying season" the decline takes place over 3 to 5 years. That's 3 to 5 years of declining prices. So although it may not reach 90%, the end percentage reduction will depend on how much panic or job loss accelerates the fall which will depend on when the economy starts putting people back to work sufficiently compensated to buy. Not rocket science. Just repeating what happened the last time

Historically, current interest rates aren't the problem. Prices are. There needs to be a housing market correction. Every housing market is different, but home prices need to adjust roughly 25% down for most average middle-class income wage earners to buy a first home. Unfortunately, anyone who bought a house recently will likely be upside-down in their home. This will prevent them from refinancing and likely selling without taking a loss. Anyone who barrowed against the enhanced value of their home will also likely be upside-down and in the same predicament. I really hope interest rates dont suddenly drop, or we will be right back where we started.

We even checked condos but the ones we saw were awful, no charm, high HOA and felt frustrated for years looking. So this year, at 62, we both decided to sell in early Spring and we were able to sell in a day. It was amazing. For these past 4-6 yrs we have been selling things, donating and giving to our three kids for their new homes. So we have reduced our belongings by 85%, made a bunch of cash selling stuff and living minimally now in an apt with full amenities. It is wonderful! We don’t regret getting rid of one item we owned. And we are relieved to have sold the house when we did, so we can enjoy our family, travel and entertain friends with the pool and amenities here. Our plan is 15 months here and then reeval. Rent deals are great in winter, so you can sign on and go for it. This is not forever, but it is for now! And it is fun. We’ve never doubted our decision. And we keep letting go of more stuff!

[@rogerwheelers4322]

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.

Excellent video! Alot of good points made. I sometimes watch the click-bait stuff and usually end up stopping after a few minutes - because you can tell it's all hype - and am tempted to call them out on it in the comments. I waited 36 years to make a small profit on my home in NJ. I thought I missed out because I didn't list in '22. When I was finally ready, I got more than it was ever worth during the time I owned it, but not 100s of thousands - just 10s of thousands. I sold it a few months ago and now I check out Zillow in the area and the (listing) prices are continuing to rise. I am still very happy with what I got because never in 36 years did I think it was possible. I hope these people get what they are asking - it's been a long time coming. They are perfect for the young folks that are whining that nothing is affordable. These are nice, well-built homes in a pretty nice area, but they've been stagnant for decades - no where near what similar homes in nearby neighborhoods have gotten for decades. When this happens, people start fixing their homes up - making upgrades - it's nice to see. You feel like you're throwing your money in the trash when you want to make your place look nice but the values don't warrant it.

Its in Missouri and the house was prettied up for sale, but floors are warped, deck ynfinished and warping, there's give in part of floor and bathroom plumbing is not good.

My son only makes 70,000 a year and bought the house for 268,000. He barely has $ for upkeep, car repairs (we paid last time!), food and clothing. He bought the house from Portland, Ore viewed only pictures and he was allowed to finance it without an inspection. He ignored our advice to start with.

[@eduardocorrea530]

Depending on your location, the market can be either robust or crashing. Places like Fl and Tx where values jumped 50%-100% in value in just 5 years, there is a real and logical risk of a crash (remember you are defining crash as 20% or more) places like the northeast, where values have risen slow and steady (more in line with historical trends) there is less to little risk of a crash. We all have to take into account unemployement, the reduction of work from home opportunities, and the high levels of debt Americans have taken on. A slight reduction in interest rates is not going to solve high home prices. Taxes have risen, insurance has risen, only lower home prices are going to get people back into buying homes.

[@robertgrey5993]

Well said.

[@CaptainCaveman1170]

The Northeast blew up as a direct result of it becoming too unappealing to keep paying top dollar just to live/invest in the South/Gulf/smile states. Those places are nice, but not nice enough to pay near California prices for. So all of a sudden those $160K homes up north became attractive and got bid up badly. But I think that as soon as the builders bring balance back to those Southern regions, the Northeast/Midwest should come back down to earth as well.

[@dan-qe1tb]

The Nick Girly, "the buyers are on strike" line is false. The following people are still buying homes. 1. People who can afford higher taxes. 2. People who can afford higher insurance. 3. People who can afford higher home prices. People can't expect property taxes and insurance not to go up: businesses face inflation just like the homeowners do.

[@eduardocorrea530]

@@dan-qe1tb Yes, insurance, taxes, home values always go up over time. So do salaries. But there is this little thing about real estate and its the Value to Income ratio. As salaries rise, so do home values, which in turn raise insurance and taxes. The problem becomes when home values rise up to high in a short time, but salaries do not rise at the same rate. Throws off the Value to income ratio, MORE buyers cannot afford to buy the homes. In many places in FL, home prices have doubled and many even more than double IN JUST THE LAST 5 YEARS. The incomes in FL have not doubled in that same time. There are only so any retirees/wealthy that will move to FL with wealth already. People who live and work in the state need to be able to afford the prices, so local income definitely plays a part in establishing what home prices will be. This is why FL has the highest level of inventory in the country right now.

[@harveypaxton1232]

According to MLS there is more available properties than in 2008? This should drop prices but 80-90% probably not!

[@kentschrader3900]

As far as "dating the rate" and refinancing, even if a house appraises okay, the value will affect whether or not one will need mortgage insurance on the new loan, and if so, what it will cost. TOTAL loan under 80% = usually no mortgage insurance. The cost goes higher as the ratio of loan amount to home value gets higher. If credit scores have fallen, that can push mortgage insurance costs a lot higher and can even negate any savings from a lower interest rate. On the positive side, if you had to have mortgage insurance when you bought and now your value is higher and/or your credit scores have improved, you could enjoy both lower interest costs and lower cost (or no) mortgage insurance. If it hasn't been too long (less than 2 years), you could possibly get a refund of part of the mortgage insurance premium from the original loan. The rules are a little different on refinances vs purchases so check with a lender before making any decisions!

[@ChrisGenXer]

I’m watching and heard you say the one thing that is going to crush buyers…and it’s the same thing other self- serving agents and companies like Zillow, Redfin, and Barbra Corcoran say in their articles…”we need interest rates to come down.” You are focusing on interest rates ONLY as the primary driver of consumers. Are you kidding me??? Housing prices need to come down! Median Housing costs 7 to 8 times median household income. This is higher than any other point in history, including the 80s when interest rates were much higher than they are now. I’m not trying to be mean, but you really need to assess the economy, the Japan Carry trade (that’s not even close to unraveling), the fraud in the housing market with property tax (this is making homes unaffordable as well), insurance rates going up 200% or more (especially in FL), the jobs market and increased layoffs…the list goes on. This is a terrible time to buy a house. I watch this and I can’t help but caution anyone who is listening to you about about buying a house anytime soon. I understand what you’re saying because as a real estate agent you need to sell houses so you can’t scare people away, that’s self destructive, but this cheerleading will put end up hurting buyers by stretching them to their financial limits to purchase an over priced house. I do agree, houses are not dropping 80%-90%, and real estate markets are local…hyper local. However, there will easily be 20%-30% corrections in certain areas of the untied states, especially where there has been mass building the last four years. The northeast looks to be about the most shielded from a big drop in prices, but down south and our west…that’s where you will see most of the corrections. It will be worse when we go into a recession.

[@KatiSpaniak]

I agree prices are too high because of everything you’re saying. I don’t disagree with anything other I am just trying to push people to buy. In fact I tell people now is not the time to buy if you can.

If you don't want to buy, then the capital gains tax the government imposes will wipe out a huge portion of your sales price anyway. Lower prices are a win for most people. also, it would help A LOT if we'd stop allowing the sale of homes to foreign investors who want them just for investment purposes and keep them vacant. Over 10% of residential units are currently vacant; that is insane. Foreigners should either be required to keep their properties occupied, or be prohibited from owning them all together.
