You will REGRET Buying A House in 2024

[@michaelwiebeck3]

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

[@Olsontim21]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too.

Moving is expensive and as long as you rent you will always have to move because you are at the mercy of that landlord. I worked property management and we were taught to get you in the door comfortable and then RAISE your rent. You will always be paying someone else bills and securing their future if you continue to rent. We all must try to buy even if it’s a double wide to try to move towards being free.

There were several people living there that were always around no matter what time a day walking the dog , one guy working on a motorcycle etc. I found out that Marina Del Rey has a law that every rental community had to have a certain percentage of their units for low income housing . So I was paying 3700.00/month so someone else can pay a unrealistically low rent. I left CA during Covid and despite that I love the weather and natural beauty of CA I will never live there again.

@@JebSmith Not as bad as subsidized housing but still unfortunate government interference. The homeowner still has to pay Beverly Hills taxes and home repair prices on a home he/she is forced to rent well below market value. I think some government likes to push rent control because it aligns with the "You will own nothing and will like it" philosophy from the WEF. It messes with supply and demand and market prices.

Great candid content. We bought at the height of the pandemic craziness and your advice about buying a home that fit our needs is so important.

Because I did everything right having watched so many KZbin videos I have no regrets. Because the market was so bad I ended up being the only offer on the house, so I was able to get my move-in- ready under asking (compared to the year prior when the market was super competitive with multiple offers on new homes paying upwards of 50k+ over asking)! Paid the 15% to avoid the PMI, Bought down a point to reduce my interest rate, and made sure I still had 6 months salary savings which I needed to pay for furnishings and unexpected maintenance. I bought in the area I was renting so I knew the area, it’s close to family. I also budgeted so even if my mortgage is more than I would have rented, I still am saving every month. I’m looking forward to future reductions on the interest rates to refinance, but I don’t need it to survive, so when it does I will be saving so much more!

The issue with housing is that it's not a luxury; it's a fundamental human need. If you can't afford an iPhone, there are cheaper alternatives available. However, if you can't afford a home, you're left with renting or living with others, which delays important life milestones like starting a family. I've experienced this firsthand. I graduated last year as a civil engineer, earning about $80K with an 800 credit score and some savings. My fiancée earns around $50K as a waitress while pursuing her nursing degree. Over the past three years, monthly home payments in South Florida have more than doubled, alongside rising living costs. This makes it impossible for us to afford our own home, so I'm still living with my parents, saving up for a home that I hope to afford one day.

Subsidized means she has to qualify based on income and if she did - she and her attorney hubby are engaging in serious housing fraud. I see to work in BH and lived in LA for many years. Also, if she is saving 100k per year she will need it for her kids tuition because all her savings will count against her kids financial aid (unlike owning a house - where equity is excluded from fin aid awards). If both her kids get into USC, that’s $800k tuition. $100k per year now.

[@JebSmith]

Hello @susievidal4134, The fears you have are completely valid. Purchasing a home, especially after experiencing loss, can be stressful. Regarding your question about the 10% down payment; it's not always a must. The down payment can even be as low as 3.5% in some cases and there are many first-time home buyers programs that may be available to your family. Some of these programs do not need to be paid back, while others operate as a second, low-interest mortgage. I would suggest speaking to a financial advisor or a mortgage broker who can help navigate these programs and determine the best course of action for your specific circumstances.

So did ours in 2007! In fact, we refinanced a year after purchase and were offered a HELOC because our modest home increased $70,000 in that first year. Thank God we didn't take it because we were underwater for nearly a decade when home prices crashed. We were stuck in our twenties and early thirties as we began our family and quickly outgrew the starter home. We still love the land and location, but it was depressing being stuck during our early careers and young children. I doubt that type of crash will happen again, but these prices are unsustainable. Best of luck, but please don't leverage on your home until you have significant equity (or ever).

[@JebSmith]

That's awesome but really means nothing until you go to sell!

[@McNelisG]

Thank you for the tips we don’t ever plan to take out a HELOC. We bought below market price so I believe that’s partly why such a large increase so quickly. We had a new roof included as well…Anyways, we love our home and plan to be here for several years with plenty of room to grow. Even if we see a correction in prices the market always recover’s, history has shown that. A crash would likely give us opportunity to refinance. At that point our monthly payment would be less than renting. My opinion is becoming a homeowner will get harder over the years.

[@McNelisG]

@@JebSmith it means prices are still going up in my area. I don’t plan on ever selling. Would keep and get another If opportunity presents itself.

isn’t that a bad thing? won’t you pay more in taxes or insurance?

For sale by owner directly a single family home 15 min away from downtown orlando look at zillow FSBO 1074 Hamlet Dr Maitland, FL title company takes care of everything and saves the buyer and the seller commission

@Nournourhayati409 This home is in one of the best areas in Orlando

[@Nournourhayati409]

@@danieldosanjos8126 true very very nice location , but sadly not that many people try to look by them self at zillow FSBO and find a house . They all go to a realtor and of course the realtor wont show them my house because they are not earning any commission instead i get 100 calls from them to make me sign a contract i replied no no to them . And i am trying to find a family that they really deserve a great location . thank you for your comment

You’re absolutely right you’re a good agent 😊

[@Curious_Skeptic]

You have no idea how pleased I am that I sold my NJ home almost at the exact perfect timing! We go 80k over asking! We didn't even expect that could even happen, LOL. The bad news, we sold house due to recent divorce. But, my ex and I both walked away with almost double the cash we thought we'd have! I only pay 1k in rent in NJ on count of a friend renting me a bedroom, LOL. I also split an office next to my bedroom as part of the deal. :) My ex and kids are in Florida. I'm very temped to rent in Florida. Prices of renting are AMAZING! I would NEVER EVER buy a home in Florida! Not sure who will ever buy down there after this insurance and tax mess! You could give a home away in Florida, and still may not be able to afford taxes and insurance!!!! Renting? Home run. Fixed monthly expenses! ZERO RISK! I'm 53. I WILL NEVER EVER be able to pay off a mortgage. I will never realize the investment return! The way I look at it, as I get older, I can keep down sizing my rental, LOL. At some point, I could go back to splitting a home with another senior. (If I make it to 65 that is, LOL). Sadly, home ownership is a pipe dream for the rich! Very few can afford a home. DO NOT BUY A HOME !!!! Weight for at least 2-4 years! RENT! Our country WILL CRASH like a ton of bricks! WE ALL KNOW THIS IS TRUE! If you make low-to middle average middle class income? DO NOT risk it! Sit back, what the giant crash. Keep your cash safe. Use many banks, and have cash on hand. You down payment will be your lifesaver to get you through the hell that is coming! I have 100k in cash in the bank earning 5% every four months! Much safer than a house right now! Interest on that money will pay three months of rent per year. So, right there, I'm saving money not owning by using cash to earn interest! Your house is going to lose you 10's of thousand in under a year!

Wait, what? This lady is in subsidized housing in … Beverly Hills? Amazing.

I mispoke...........not subsidized but rather rent control.

[@MestisEthopianKitchen]

Thank you so much 🎉

[@mosescardenas170]

Your comment about the 4.6% increase over the past 65 years is disconnected from the current generation. Very few in your audience was even born 65 years ago let alone old enough to buy a house at that time.

[@Horatio1886build]

Maybe people really are not as smart as I thought. Doesn't most of whats on these realestate channels just seem like common sense to me, and you, no? Caveat emptor, no one is going to look out for you, better than you. Research, research, research.

A Crash is a good thing. More home appreciation is doom and gloom in the short term.

[@sheabilladeau1392]

A professor and attorney in subsidized housing? What?

[@lisak9398]

Not sure why you’re discouraging home buying. There are people out there that need to sell and this is hurting people with a very general and false narrative

[@JebSmith]

Did you watch the video or just comment? The video isn’t discouraging anyone from buying a home but rather telling them what to pay attention to if they’re planning on buying a home so that they don’t have regrets.

[@tayacidy8003]

Hey am in the military so I have the Va loan and have about 15,000 saved up and about to get married and I was wondering if I should get a home first or start renting then getting a home

Renting...if you like flushing your money down the toilet every month..go for it

[@JebSmith]

It's okay to rent depending on where you are in your life but I don't think you should rent forever.

❤❤❤ thank you for this good advise and Wisdom. I just found your channel and am grateful because i was feel pressured by all sorts of ideas , age etc to look for a home 🏡 to buy but all my saving couldn't get me a decent 3 even 2 bedroom apartment anywhere. I got financial advisers on youtube and in real life and they advised me to instead not turn my liquid money 💰🤑 into a worthless solid 🪨 apartment i would earn or benefit from anyways. But to reinvest my hard-earned money 💰 in Treasury bonds and earn interest on them over time. So am continuing to rent without any shame from nobody. I live where i want . Near supermarket, shops, pharmacy, food market and its accessible to the City . Thanks for your great video
