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. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

@@michaelschiemer3 prices may come down, but dynamics today do differ compared to 2008. It may turn out that nominal prices just hover flat for several years until wages and purchasing power has caught up, and $500k in 2028 isn’t as punishing as it is now.

In August 2022, I paid 685k with a 4.375 interest rate for my second property in San Diego. The property is currently worth $895k. I've already increased my ownership by over 30% in less than two years. There's no need for me to sell because I'm making over 90k in rental income from my two ADU studios, which pays my mortgage each month. In addition, my rate is ridiculously low, which I view as a benefit.

I bought a house 2023 and don't regret it but its because my wife and I took our time and really searched the market. We also didn't settle with any house and made sure it was within our financial means along with hitting our desired needs. And we were willing to back out after inspection when things weren't looking right. But to be honest I think we also got lucky, our home warranty ended up covering a replacement for a furnace and ac which helped a lot. And I should also stress that regardless I made sure that after closing costs I still had a decent amount in savings in-case something came up.

I think it’s crazy how I hear all over the internet people should rent. I’m a renter and my last rent increased by almost $1000 after covid and kept increasing. I had to MOVE! 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.

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. We had lost out on no less than a dozen offers and we began looking at houses that were too small or didn't have what we wanted simply because we didn't want to go above our price range, our realtor sat us down during a showing of a house that frankly was the absolute bare minimum of everything we wanted and she asked us, if we loved the house, and we said it was okay, (we were up against it we had 60 days to find a place to live because our rental was being sold, and we had been saving for years and were in a position to buy), our realtor said, if we didn't love it, don't buy it, better to rent an apartment or live with a relative for a few weeks or even months until we find the right house than be stuck with a house we quickly outgrow or aren't fully pleased with. Keep up the great work

I’m a first time home buyer and purchased a brand new dream home in LA last year, when everyone said I was crazy cuz the interest rates are so high, and were still going up when we were in escrow! 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!

[@JebSmith]

Congrats! Nice work Anthony!

I'd love to know where in LA you purchased your dream home. I can't find a decent home in the LA area for a million bucks. I've looked in reseda, wenekta, encino, woodland hills, even down near san diego in Vista and fallbrook.

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.

[@eurekahope5310]

@@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. If a landlord inherited her mom's house but cannot rent it out for enough to pay taxes and repairs on rent control prices, she will have to sell Mom's home and corporations are scooping up real estate.

The problem with Uber is that it was originally set as a platform where there was no tipping and then like everything they wanted to charge more and give drivers less and now have switched the platform where it's the passengers responsbility. On top of that, a lof of the cars these days are dirty both inside and outside but the costs are just as expensive. I myself tip most drivers but at the same time uber is now just as expensive as taking a cab in many areas out there so a lot of the benefit has been lost.

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.

Largely, the price of homes is not going to fluctuate much. Those waiting out for the prices of homes to go down, will not see it happen.

Jeb, do you mean the BH woman lives in a rent controlled apartment and not subsidized housing? 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. I think this is an important financial mistake most people overlook - how your assets fare in financial aid decisions vs. equity in your own home (which does not count most of the time).

I’m just going to keep renting a small apartment and stack savings. I figure prices will stay roughly sideways (or at least, not increasing faster than I save) with the ways things are. Its true you are “paying the owners mortgage” when you rent, but the “owners mortgage” is much much cheaper than what I would get if I bought today (the interest alone would dwarf if unless you have a massive down payment). Theres also a lot of competition among landlords right now with many rental complexes built where I am, so they can’t just easily raise prices to capture inflation profits.

The biggest advantage of homeownership is fixing your housing cost. Typically with rent, it continues to increase annually, but if rent stays the same or you’re able to move and save money on rent, then that’s a pro for renting at least in the interim.

My reason for buying is a more peaceful environment and for my child to have more space to atleast have a yard to play in and a place where we dont have to do inspections and having to recertify every year is a pain. We lost our last house in 2010 with my ex husband and i want to leave my kids a house so they dont have to worry in the future and have a home to call their own.Also here where i live most old homes cost just as much as a new home and new homes are offering an interest rate at 4.9 way lower than what it is plus a new home sometimes offer incentives but my thing is i worry if we can afford a house i dont want to purchase a home for later ending up losing it after losing a home in the past it's my main worry.

[@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.

[@JebSmith]

In 2023 but all the things I mentioned in this video are things that I considered before I did it.

[@priceless55]

Anyone one only owned for 2-4 yrs . Its too soon to say i made good decision. Just wait

[@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!

We bought an entry level home in norther CA in October 2023. Our home has increased by $90k over the last 7 months…

[@eurekahope5310]

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.

[@JaneTheDoe-id2vx]

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

[@bongodrummer6914]

in 1997 bought a 3bed/2 bath house for 64K It is now worth $351K Yay for me......no wife happy life yay for me

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

[@JebSmith]

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

[@Techpodshed]

Paying a mortgage is like Paying rent, you don't own a home till it's payed off. Don't pay your mortgage for 5 months see who really is the owner 😂

[@chabridgettumusiime8994]

❤❤❤ 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

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]

@@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

whats with this new rapid fire presentation,I preferred the the original presentation ,it was more personable.

[@JebSmith]

I don't understand, what's the original presentation?

[@seancuomo7762]

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

[@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.

[@rosemont83]

I feel like I have heard this bucket story before

[@JebSmith]

you probably have if you've been on my channel as I mentioned it a few weeks ago.

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

I was a bit surprised about the rent controlled housing given that she is able to save 100k a year. I would assume there is a limited amount of that housing.

[@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.

[@Ben-yw8be]

Good for them. We’re buying a larger house. 😂

[@TheInformedHomebuyer4rb]

You do not need to own a home DO NOT BUY A HOME NOW! We have been in a bubble it started in 2014 .

I love how the story have changed. For last 3 years I've been preaching that you should not buy a house but you'll thought I was an idiot...😂 LoL. Zillow is starting to change their story also. PS when they all start preaching that you should not buy that's when you can go and buy it. 😂

[@JebSmith]

My thoughts havent' changed! Clearly you just commented without watching the video. Pretty Typical.

Oh I forgot to mention for the last 3 years you've been horrifically wrong as well

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.

[@bongodrummer6914]

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.

[@joewermer6067]

Who is making that kind of dough

[@TravelingFoodBunny]

I don’t know any wealthy people who is a long-term renter.

I have a buddy who is wealthy, probably worth more than 10M and doesn't own Real estate and hasn't in a very long time.
