fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.

[@randettawolf]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@CheriFanizza]

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.

[@davidnoticiero6728]

That’s the heart of the issue, if people could afford to buy they would because unless it’s an investment property, your home and the location of it largely determines your lifestyle, so there is a huge emotional component to buying a house.

[@bernardomakaveli]

I agree, most people are priced out. If they realistically try to buy a home and only use 25% of their income on a home. It's very rare to find a buyer who bought a home the last 4 years and only spend 25% or less on housing. Most lenders want your money and will be like "you qualify" while using a dti that's outrageous 40-60% just for the M/I/T/PMI, maintain etc.

The majority of people giving this advice are realtors. The principles of supply and demand fall apart when the specific demographic of intended buyers is physically incapable of affording the homes intended for them. This has never happened in history, but we're on the brink. Also, not all areas are experiencing inventory shortages. Look at the current Philly market: an abundance of homes that have been sitting for months with regular price cuts and still few buyers. It's all investor sellers with a limited buyer audience.

Out of 11 offers there were only two cash offers; I being one of them. House fell through and they called me last minute. I still overpaid at $825K cash. Tax assessor just sent me a nice letter stating I will be accessed at a tax rate of 3 on a house he valued at $603K. He's also penalizing me with house renovation permits that were closed prior to my closing for an additional $4,500. My taxes will be over $22K. Folks, it's a shit show. The government wants you to own nothing. Oh, and I can't wait to pay estimated taxes on unrealized gains on my house and 401K if they succeed.

[@jamesosteen09]

@@JebSmith under normal circumstances I'd agree with you, but when housing jumped 175-200% in a 3 year window then the short term becomes an important factor. That wasn't normal and therefore the market will correct itself to some degree. Had I bought in the area I was looking at 2 years ago I would have purchased a house at 700k that is now selling under 600k. With margins so tight for many buyers right now considering what is happening in the short term may be their only option. Yes that now 600k house will go up in value over the next 5 years, but in the short term I would have lost about 100k value in that investiment had I not waited. And yes a few states may be more outliers than others like Texas (where I'm at) and Florida where there's a lot of inventory, so that's why I stress location is also an important factor.

[@bymilliebphotography8249]

I'm confused. I normally love your message, but this video seems more like a typical realtor telling people to buy now. Buyers can't buy what they can't afford. Inventory is increasing and days on market are increasing as well. Affordability is low and sales prices are out of whack in certain markets. While you cannot time the market, you should also not dive in foolishly because you are afraid of missing out on home ownership and potential equity. Sometimes renting is the better and more affordable solution. Uh, Hello, Jeb. FYI, in Florida short sales and foreclosures are increasing. Your advice seems more self-serving than helpful. While I personally don't believe that the market is going to crash, I do believe it's correcting itself post pandemic. Buyers need to find good realtors who think like investors and understand the local market and numbers. Secondly, arm yourself with a good loan officer who understands your situation, finances and also understands numbers and actually understands real estate (most loan officers don't). A good team will empower you to make good decisions that will help set you un in the future.

[@JebSmith]

Housing is going to get more expensive with inflation, lack of supply (nationwide) which means it's going to cost more to own that home over time. It doesn't mean that you need to rush out and buy it today but you need to have a plan to either become a homeowner at some point or be investing your money wisely. As you know from my other videos, you have to buy when it's the right time in your life, that's always the right move rather than trying to predict what's coming next.

This is one of the few videos that talks about the regret from waiting for a crash. I also know someone who waited in 2020 and was excited about getting a foreclosure. They’re still renting and are afraid of being priced out. They now have some urgency to buy. There’s so many “buyers remorse” videos out there and I believe people watch them to make themselves feel better about their own decisions that caused them to still be renting.

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

Sort of bogus and it depends on what you were paying in rent. I'll do some rough math for you about my situation which is exactly what you touched on. I bring home $5000 a month after taxes and spend $1600 on rent. Wife makes about the same. So for easy math, let's say we bank $10k after taxes. If I buy a home in my area, it's an easy $800k. That's about a $4.5k a month mortgage. If I put $350k Down on an 800k home at 6% interest on a 30 year. The bank makes $520K over the course of that mortgage. If I keep renting, the yearly money lost on rent is $20k (for easy math). If we take on that mortgage, the yearly money lost to interest is $2200 until 14 years from the time you take on that mortgage (assuming you're not overpaying). In 14 years, at my current rate of saving ( ~6k a month) we would have saved 1 million dollars. At which point we could just buy the home outright. However, home values go up, so 1million may not be the same priced home. HOWEVER. All we need is the difference. Lets say in the time we save, home values go up another 100k. So that 800k home is 900k. So we need 900k - 350k = 550k. We could save that (550k) at our current rent rate, in 7.6 years and pay CASH. While renting, I would have lost about 150k to rent during that time. So while I could take out a mortgage, I could just save for 7-8 years then buy the home cash. Saving myself roughly 520k (interest paid to bank over course of mortgage ) MINUS 150k ( money lost renting ) = 430k. So just saving my money and waiting to buy cash (or extremely close to paying cash) I would save ~400k. 400k is a lot of money. It's insane to think taking out massive debt makes sense to anyone except your own greed because you "need" a home now. No you don't. Do the math.

[@davidnoticiero6728]

@@timothyandrewnielsen your scenario works assuming 2 conditions are met, first you have to have a rental that is well below market rate and secondly, your family needs do not necessitate you buying a larger home than you are currently renting. We had a similar situation, we paid $900 rent on an 1100 sq ft house with a detached garage, large yard and pool... In Northern California! We were in the rental for 5 years and our rent only went up $150 a month from when we moved in to when we left. We were in the market since 2018 but we thought prices were way too high (they had been climbing steadily since 2015) and we though what goes up will surely come down so we kept stockpiling cash and investing until 2021 when our landlord sold the property. We had to buy in the midst of the Covid era craziness with little inventory and skyrocketing prices, long story short to rent a comparable house to what we were renting would cost us almost 3 times more than what we were paying in rent, and frankly we wanted a larger home anyway as our kids were getting older. Our options were rent at market rate which would severely cut our ability to save cash and invest with no guarantee that rents wouldn't rise further (they haven't they have only kept rising), use the savings we had accumulated to buy a home we could afford and fit into our monthly budget and fix our housing costs long term, if we didn't need a bigger house, and we could have stayed in the cheap rental for another 7-9 years we might have been able to buy a house cash but at that point what would be the point, my kids would be effectively out of the house and in school so buying a larger house wouldn't make much sense. Am I paying interest? Yes, but paying market rate rents would eventually strain my budget, when we bought 30% of our net income went to mortgage/taxes/insurance, today it's 25% so while it would have been nice to pay cash for the house, buying at 2.85% APR for 30 years is what best fit our budget given our circumstances.

Nice try, Jeb. 18% more over the next 5 years? That is an insane statement. They also "expected" multiple rate cuts in 2023 and 2024. Howd that go?

[@JebSmith]

The expected rate cuts weren't until 2024 and I believe the initial estimate was 3 rate cuts while the market was thinking 6, looks like we'll probably end up with around 4 cuts so pretty much in line with consensus. If you don't think prices are going to continue to go up (not astronomically but probably around 3% per year) then you must think they are going to be able to increase supply in a meaningful way nationwide which isn't going to happen overnight especially as most builders have put a hold on building until rates adjust.............That said, the lack of supply with continue to be the issue that keeps prices increasing along with a steady 2%+ inflation.

[@andrewtaint3029]

@@JebSmith yeah you can believe whatever you want, that doesn't make it true. Jerome Powell originally aimed for one rate cut a quarter in 2024 at around .2-.25 basis points each. I know you can do a little math there. There has literally been one significant rate cut and it was only a couple of months ago and rates have slowly but steadily climbed back since then. Where are you getting your information from exactly? Home prices have already fallen by a pretty significant percentage in a number of states. Are you seriously going to sit here and argue that isn't true? People like you who create these channels and all of these cuck realtors on Instagram etc are the reason we're in this position and I genuinely feel bad for first time homebuyers who are getting pulled in the wrong direction with seriously ill advised advice.
