Will the Housing Bubble Burst?

[@emlonewolf]

The video never answers the question "will the housing bubble bursts" it does a good job explaining WHY there is a housing bubble though.

[@JusDoc]

It does a fair job of implying the answer. "Based on current economic pressures, no. And the pressures will likely be there for about a decade."

[@stephenhowes6509]

There might a slow down in 2022-2023 with China's real estate bubble popping as we speak. It won't have drastic affects on the US but will slow things down (economy as a whole). Long term, I do see prices coming down... just not in our lifetimes. The price is heavily influenced by demand, demand is largely based around population size (more people = more demand). The US and the general world population is expected to plateau (and begin to slightly decrease) around 2100.

South Korea has a strange "market". The land is owned by the government, what you buy when you buy a house is like a 99year lease. But what they did to discourage this type of things is that you need to live in a home FIVE years before you can rent it. So you can't just go around buying property and renting it.

Surely though, the number of houses still determines the price? Unless people are buying homes and not living in them, there are only so many households in a country. If you add a significant number of somewhat-expensive homes, then people who _can_ afford them will move out of cheaper ones, driving down demand and ultimately price for cheaper homes. If the properties are not selling, then the asking price would go down, making them more affordable for the same end result. At a national scale, more housing should always drive down housing price, whether that new housing is affordable or not (again...unless people are letting properties sit empty, which people generally are incentivised not to do)

It's an ownership problem, not an affordability problem. Corporate landlords will often own more than 1000 homes to rent to the public. This doesn't make living cheaper, it makes ownership more scarce, increasing the price, as with any hording tactic. As long as you can't buy, you must rent, driving up rent prices too. If the ownership problem was fixed those 1000+ living spaces each corporation owns become up for grabs dropping the price back to affordable levels. The vast majority of people already live in a home, they just don't own it.

Always do your own research, folks! While the info in this video is generally helpful, it’s widely one-sided and deeply biased. I’m Hispanic and live in Austin, Texas. I chuckled at how a lot of the info about Austin’s demographics and depictions of how ‘the affluent white people’ hurt the local economy with their support for zoning laws is just so far from reality. At best, that’s an extraordinarily one-sided and heavily partisan viewpoint. Minorities like myself are invested heavily in the real estate game and thriving in Austin, thanks to the red state's wise economic policies. There are plenty of affluent Indians, Asians, Pakistanis, and Hispanics in the city who work high-paying tech jobs (Dell, Apple, Google, Facebook, and soon Tesla are all HQ’d here) and can not only afford one home but a several due to the vast, lucrative economic opportunities here as opposed to other big cities. Which is actually significantly driving up real estate costs and making the city unaffordable for native Austinites (primarily white and Hispanic), not the other way around. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So let’s not pretend like minorities are struggling at the hand of the white suburban mom who’s voting in favor of zoning laws. 😂 An enormous amount of sought-after newly built properties in the city are owned by minorities who cashflow them on the side. I currently live in one. You’d be hard-pressed to find otherwise. Furthermore, Austin is a baby city. You can drive 15-20 minutes in almost any direction and encounter cow pastures and livestock. Needless to say, there is plenty of land to build on, Austin’s economic opportunities are ridiculously good, and zoning laws have clear benefits. I also want to note that demand isn’t coming primarily from millennials in Austin but East & West Coast residents looking for refuge in red states from the failing policies in their blue states. Often paying cash 200,000-300,000k over asking and throwing in anything they can think of (like NFL season tickets) to outbid locals. That’s what’s made it completely unaffordable for residents in Austin to purchase homes. Fingers crossed, these new Austinites don’t turn Texas into the same disaster zone that’s California and New York. All in all, I’m tired of white folks who lean left-turning every local challenge into a divisive, racial issue when it couldn’t be farther from one. #realitycheck P.S. My fave part was when they mentioned Biden’s plan to invest in real estate developments. That was just the cherry on top. LMAO 🤦🏼‍♀️

If anything, sometime down the line we'll probably see price growth flatten if interest rates rise a lot, but there's no reason at all for prices to decline.

My mom bought a house between an affluent area and a not so great area in California. 20 years ago she bought it for under $350k… why? The school system was crap and it was parked against a trailer park. For years, developers tried to build transition housing and the neighborhood fought against it and won… good for them as the residents were trying to clean up the neighborhood and keep it clean and quiet. Recently, zoning laws turned over allowing many condo buildings to go up in 4 corners of a block radius. My mom then had to fight against them trying to open up her cul-de-sac. So yeah, she’s of the “not-in-my-backyard” but for good reason. Those condos are selling at the starting price of $950k. That’s price gouging. She’d never be able to afford to buy one even if she sold her house because of the tax. Everyday she gets phone calls of developers asking her to sell her house. She feels offended and trespassed against that these people would try to take her home. And all this economics BS is an excuse to try to explain why the rich and our governments can build and price gouge.

@TwoCents, You should have mentioned the large amount of Private Equity investment in single-family homes recently. These firms are buying over ask like crazy (reducing the available housing supply increasing the price) in certain markets and plan to gain returns through renting the property. It is my fear that when the rent becomes too high and they have difficulty renting the properties (because Millennials want to buy homes, not rent as you mentioned), they will have to cut their losses and liquidate their properties. This would increase the supply of homes on the market, and therefore drop the value of all homes (a crash). [Would love to see a video of you breaking this down].

1. No two bubbles are the same. 2. Housing is now more commoditized than ever. So don't allow emotions to take over on when to buy or sell. Unlike stocks or other investments, there is utility associated with housing which we tend to make emotional decisions from. 3. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THE BUBBLE WILL BURST......there is always something or cracks that wont get exposed until it actually bursts. There is an inverse relationship between rates and prices. So this low rate environment has everyone guessing what may or may not happen. Demand is coming from every angle (home buyers, flippers, I-buyers, foreign cash, etc). Who knows when demand will dampen. Unfortunately the best bet is to stick to your budget. And if it forces you to move? You'll have to. Or to rent in the area you can't afford to buy in? No two situations are the same, and people have to adapt to this new environment. If you can't afford Los Angeles anymore? What's wrong with San Diego or San Jose? Manhattan out of the question? If Austin has priced you out? The suburbs it is.....it's that or never buying anything at all. This market won't last forever. Until then, weigh and calculate your opportunity cost. Moving to a lower COL area, as hard as it is to accept, will probably be the only option.

I think a lot of the arguments in the video are honestly pretty off. It basically tries to say that the problem is 100% zoning when in reality, it's mostly other problems. You can look at other places that aren't suburbs to crush the zoning argument. Why is New York so expensive? Even though most of it is apartment buildings? Zoning isn't the actual major problem, the major problem is that there isn't enough housing being made so since demand is high, it increases prices. One thing that The zoning argument totally glosses over is that most wanted form of housing, is a single family home, not an apartment building or a row home, or a condo. Another problem now is the ability to work from home so you can live anywhere. Thus causing places that weren't as expensive to cost more as people from other places that are expensive to live like New York or LA can now move to other places and they can afford to overbid since it'll still be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to live there. A perfect example of this is what happened earlier in Canada. Toronto Condo prices dropped by a good amount because people were moving far away since they didn't need to worry about going downtown to work and could live in places that were a lot cheaper. Housing prices all across Ontario and the rest of Canada started to increase by a decent amount because of the aforementioned ability to buy new homes wherever. And since people didn't want to pay the high prices in the city when they couldn't do anything, people were doing a lot of leaving. The places other people moved to was places that had single family homes for the most part. Most people aren't looking to buy an apartment in a condo, or a row/town house. They're looking to have their own home separated from neighbors but they'll settle for what they can get to a certain point. Most people are going to rent a condo or apartment rather than own one. Zoning doesn't cause these problems and looking at it from that perspective is not the smartest. And yes, people don't want apartment buildings next to them, it's what makes North America North America. We have massive wide open areas and big sprawling suburbs because we can afford to do that. We don't need to make metropolises everywhere, and we'll try to avoid it. The average home buyer is most likely not going to be happy to live right beside an apartment building for a ton of reasons including the price of their home will go down, it is now in the way of their view of whatever was there before, most likely nature, it'll also bring more noise and congestion and people. I honestly very much dislike the "it's just old white people" when in reality, it's what most people would do.

American housing makes no sense to me (as an American).

AND we build them too far from anything to make walking, biking, or mass transit a viable option, making car ownership a virtual necessity, which carries with it the costs of maintenance, fueling, and insurance.

[@IamCaleum]

In my area there are large contracting companies and locally big renting agencies that fight over every house that goes on sale. the LCCs want to level the house and build a much more expensive house on the same land while the renter agencies want to buy the same older house and then rent it. Trying to buy when these two groups fight over EVER SINGLE HOUSE is impossible. Many houses are sold pre-listing and the ones that make it to listing are being sold in an average of 8 hours. Add to it that Zillow is now buying houses around here too and things become even worse. The median home price has gone from around 245k to around 540k and the build quality is WORSE than before, there are no traffic studies actually being done, and repeatedly there ends up issues with drainage as new developments are built higher up than older historic areas near the water and those historic areas not constantly flood.

I was going to ask the same

[@joeswanson733]

housing bubble only burst if mortgages cn abe defaulted in masse an the banks don't step in.

[@JJCYouKnowMe]

Very informative. It sounds like the housing bubble is just getting started, then....maybe it's time to look into biting the bullet and purchasing a home before it gets entirely out of reach.

[@kartboarder22g17]

Good interpretation. Get on the bandwagon or get left in the dust. What we are going to see soon is scary shelves are drying up due to the shortages. We will be in a famine very soon. Right before winter too. Yikes. The birthing pains.

[@dand627]

Bubbles are irrational. By their own analysis, nothing about current real estate inflation is irrational, therefore this isn't a bubble.

[@dand627]

@@sephiroth533 That's not a nitpick. It's a critical fundamental property.

[@addanametocontinue]

Yep, and what we're seeing now isn't really a bubble. The housing crash a decade ago was due to people buying more than they could afford and that was possible because of lax oversight on income verification, etc. The people buying homes right now legitimately can afford them. There might be bidding wars driving up the ideal cost of homes that are for sale, but don't count on any type of burst. Even the ending of the eviction memorandum doesn't appear to be having much of an effect on supply. My current hope is that more evictions will occur as the eviction protections are removed from the states. One can dream...

[@kartboarder22g17]

@@dand627 agreed. Also if you look long term at the cost of housing the increase takes on a very linear pattern.

Greeting from the Golden Banana State. Love your videos. Could you do a video on how CA is now allowing granny flats in CA backyards now

[@dingalingdongly]

Yeah, these have been allowed in many cities around SF for years now. It's still tough b/c there isn't as much density in the main streets/downtown areas as there is demand for housing. Seattle actually does a good job of building upward in commercial areas where demand is super high, but there's been an insane influx of people.

There’s nothing wrong with a group of people trying to stop their communities from changing in a direction they don’t like. If you increase the density of a neighborhood what are the second and third order of effects to this. Such as higher traffic, noise levels, overcrowding of schools. Third order of effect would be like maintenance on roads and pavements would have a higher frequency. It would be nice to have the option of building a duplex or apartment, but don’t chastise people because they don’t want their community to change.

[@PEEinMYbutthole200]

Yeah this video is just hating on home owners and people who have a higher income, which is ironic because i can say with a high level of certainty that this couple fits into that category. I love this channel, but this video didnt give any insight on the housing bubble, but instead just focused in on hating exisiting home owners.

[@halohaalo2583]

If I want to build a duplex or an apartment on my own property, who exactly are you to tell me I can't do that? What gives you the right to dictate what other people do on their own damn land? How is this any different from some communist dictatorship,?

[@MurderMostFowl]

Short answer: YES. There’s no way housing prices can be sustained with mortgage raises rising. It won’t drop hugely… you’ll just not gain any value for the next 10 years or so.

[@Frodojack]

This video was fine until it brought in multi-family units in residential areas zoned for single-family homes. If Philip and Julia lived in a home where both sides had five-story apartments they probably wouldn't be so positive about the idea. They act like congestion shouldn't be an issue. Part of the reason people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on homes is to get away from the congestion. What about parking as an issue for people who live in those neighborhoods? Do you think an apartment building built on a lot originally intended for a single house is going to have its own parking structure? No, they'll have to park on the street - in front of other people's homes. Do they seriously think building multi-unit houses (AKA apartments) will fix the homeless crisis? The rent on those apartments could be anywhere from $800 - $2000 a month (or more) plus utilities and often renter's insurance. Does the average homeless person have $3000 lying around? Most homeless people are homeless because they want the freedom to do drugs without consequences or they're mentally ill, or they're criminals. A subset is homeless for just financial reasons, and those homeless people would still need incomes. Moreover, covid isn't the primary reason for the joblessness, it's government mandates that shut down businesses and put them out of business. Mandates that terminate the jobs of people who for their own reasons have issues with the vaccines. It's increasing minimum wages and environmental extremism. I should have expected only half the story from anything to do with PBS.

[@user-Aa310]

@ Richard Sousa, I think it's a given that if the presenters are explaining how a bubble formed, that it will eventually burst. By definition. IMO, timing will depend on the withdrawal rate of cheap credit, which in turn will depend on the inflation rate and inflationary expectations.

[@isaiasabinadisosagarcia936]

November 2nd and 3rd, the Fed's meeting to decide when they're gonna start tapering (the process before raising interest rates). Keep an eye out for that, everyone

[@PrivateAccountXSG]

Not everything is racism, and I wish people would stop perverting the topic to argue that it is.... If you worked very hard to build yourself a nice home, and then the government surrounded your home with 100 unit subsidized housing with no trees and huge parking lots, you wouldnt be too happy about it. Please keep a reasonable perspective.

[@smartass0124]

They leve out mostly women. Often same women who kicked men out abd Drain them in alimony and unfair child support when call them. Dead Beats when their the dead beats

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

You obviously profit from it yet you complain about it

[@MrApontjos]

There's no labor shortage in the skilled trades that does commercial work, for example labor unions in high paying cities like Seattle are pretty competitive to get into (seriously, it can take years to become a plumber) it's more of a pay shortage. Nobody wants to work to build houses they'll never afford.

[@alexixeno4223]

so wait... someones bright idea to fix that it's too hard and expensive to buy a home, is to make it more expensive to buy a home? wow....

[@BuckROCKGROIN]

Bubbles are irrational. By your own analysis, nothing about current real estate inflation is irrational, therefore this isn't a bubble. Trying to make this an issue of race is extremely unprofessional too. Bad form.
