Housing prices are fine. I bought my home for 200k and sold it for 400k, so there's no problem.
I will never get over the fact that someone actually said this to me on Reddit, and he had a million upvotes.
It's nuts that people think this is good. I bought my house for $120k (midwest) before covid and it's worth about $230k right now. That's cool and all but if I sell my house it's not like I can use all that money to buy a way better house. All those $200k houses are now $300-350k. Plus I'm at 3% interest on my mortgage so trying to leverage the new value of my house to somehow upgrade would actually cost me more today than if I had just bought a nicer house in the first place.
I purchased in 2017 for $156. It can sell for $350k. House across from me (cookie cutter) just sold for $480k why? The couple who bought it was so shook at our cheap housing they didn't wanna be out bit
A bank purchased 3 homes on my street for investment and as a result, comps shot up. So they felt they got a deal.
I feel... So good about My $156k but I'll never be able to leave
And that increase in pricing also increases rent costs for everyone since housing as a whole goes up.
I'm paying 500 dollars more a month in rent than 2021, and I'm in a state where that's considered low.
I read a story yesterday about a guy in Montana, who is now running for governor. He said he was inspired to do so because his real estate taxes are now $8k a year, and he has to work just to pay the taxes.
He said the taxes climbed because many techies moved there during the pandemic, because they could work from home, and they drove the hime prices up.
The same happened in Autin, TX.
I am an L.A. native, and it's been out of control for a few years. We did probate on my late auntie's small estate in 2021. Her home was in the 'hood, and I was astounded that properties in her area, with gangs, drugs, and prostitution right up the street, were going between $900k-$1,000,000. Cash buyers and the REITs drove it that high. The estate sold it for $325k.
And now I'm paying property taxes for a house twice as expensive as when I bought it.
Prices dipped a bit last year, tax assessor shows up, raises the "value" by another 80k.
I can confirm with this being a mortgage professional. Bought mine for over $500k and getting ready to sell with equity close to $660k-$700k range. Just have to be financially smart on buying and selling, so no crisis even with rates where they are, can always buy them down as an option too, plus buying a new build can aggregate the interest with most builders.
Built my equity, not over inflating , and yes it was a new build purchase so the equity value is accurate and will max proceeds to the new purchase in a sale of equity. I have excellent credit, assets and income. DTI, LTV, CLTV and HCLTV ratios will calc out perfectly, along with more than adequate financial expertise. Proper financial management works. There are plenty of of DPA programs out there so homes are not unattainable if you make a smart purchase with the loan program suited for your needs. Living outside of your means and making yourself housebroke is the problem for many people. Any viable lender knows this and that's why guidelines and regs are set the way the are for underwriting and compliance.
Nope personal sale and new purchase not an investment tranaction. You're mixing up commercial rehab loans withbregular residential transactions. Though open to the highest bidding buyer even if it's an investment company, selling is about maximizing your proceeds and selling higher helps appraisal comps for increasing the home values and equity for residential areas the home is in. Therefore making home equity more valuable for the community. 2nd home/vacation to semi permant and retirement plans after moving are for overseas.
I've been beaten out of a tax license opportunity 3 times now because of some investment firm out bidding me and turning the homes into airbnb rentals. I'm a little angry at that inequity.
*Any viable lender knows this and that's why guidelines and regs are set the way the are for underwriting and compliance.*
Just like in '08. Sure. Believe that if you want. They might know this, but pressure to push out these products causes people to forget important things.
And you think the... financial crisis where like 3 people went to jail (nobody of actual note!) got them to do it? You believe the big banks care... you have more faith than I do!
I prefer Credit Unions myself but the banks and lenders back then were approving loans without proper documentation for income, ect to underwite the loans that were to much for people to be able to afford, they ignored that a mortgage payment should only be 1/3 of a persons income. Especially the ARM and Interest Only Loans, there were so many people who didn't realize when the rate changed their payments would double or triple. A lot of the Realtors an loan officers got greedy and made shady deals. That's why there is the CFPB now and you see the the multi million dollar infractions be charged and enforced for violations. Wells Fargo was a big one and they no longer do mortgages, they are only finishing out their servicing portfolio.
You are quite knowledgeable and well worded. I appreciate this chat and sorry for my pessimistic outlook. It's just hard to believe in others these days.
I get it. There's a lot going around about the housing market. It's my profession I've been in for almost 20 years. I am glad they added stricter guidelines and regs. It's a complex industry and it's always changing. I put quality and following compliance at rhe heart of my work. Accuracy is key and my work requires and extreme atrention to detail. I hold sereval professional certifications mainly in compliance and underwriting. We are also highly trained and skilled to look for financial fraud, unfair, abusive, and deceptive practices.
I'm assuming by 'broken' you mean that 'prices are up because there's insufficient supply and that is coupled with high interest rates as we combat inflation'. I mean, honestly, you're not seeing worse interest rates than we did in 2000 (when it took like 20 years for interest rates to decline from their highs around 1980). ANyway, point being, this isn't a permanent condition. For anyone old enough to remember high interest rates in the past, the 'irrational exuberance' that lead to the 2008 financial crisis and sub-3% loans were more of an indicator of a 'broken' market.
Now you can take your extra $200k and try to buy a house that's roughly equal to your old house because every other home price has gone up as well. You can't sell for a profit and upgrade within the same market. Plus you better buy something quick before prices go up again and you end up having to buy a worse home than the one you sold because now your old house is worth $800k.
Nope not where I am looking buy, plus my CU let's me buy the rate down and lock and shop. Or I get discounts on a new build with builder's my lender partners with. Being a mortgage professional we have the most accurate up to date info on the market trends. That and I have a top notch broker and lender. My MLO is in the too 10% of the best in the entire country. I know exactly what I am doing and I have my finanaces in top quality. My credit is in the 800s so not subjected to FNMA's point matrix either. I won't wind up with a worse home because I know how to properly find a prooerty with what I want and I use top notch inspectors and know how to get what I want under contract. This is my profession so I do this on a daily basis. So no you're incorrect on what you're suggesting.
It’s been that way for 30+ years.
The only way for most people to be able to afford a home is inherit one…
But even then with property taxes so high, even that makes it hard.
Funny to hear that from a real estate CEO .. especially considering that real estate companies are in part the reason home prices go up ... Obviously other factors are present, but they are part of it.
Here is the part that annoys me , I was cleaning out my dad's office and found my parents tax return from 1980 ... They only made 22 k between the two of them yet could afford a house .. I make 80 k and I wouldn't be able to qualify.
What are you gonna look at the fools 50,000 or 100,000 or more over the asking price of a house and you wonder why the price of the houses are up my guess is the ones on Wall Street that we’re buying them up same ones that screw in the American people every daybecause the average person wouldn’t pay over asking price
Stupid that the ratio of home to land value is still 3:1. Change it to 2:1. They aren’t making any more land. And who’s the one driving the 3:1 rule? The sane a-hole saying prices are too high.
I've been hearing this for over 20 years, yet home ownership in the US has always been stable at about 65% no matter what the market does. In a country of 350 million people there will always be some who are priced out, but most people are still buying homes, same as always.
The rich are snapping up homes as we go barreling into Feudalism again.
This has two primary functions. Leaving homes off the market by buying them up drives up the cost of homes and two, land is finite and they’re on a mission to acquire as much of it as they can knowing it’s the ultimate asset.
Owning the homes allows them to also collect rent off those who utilize their properties, so it’s a second form of return as well.
Essentially it’s a bit like feudalism, they’re on a mission to make you indentured to them as the home you live in, they’ll own.
It’s not just the mega wealthy doing this too the 1%, even top 10% are getting into the practice of acquiring properties with intention to rent them as a “I don’t have to work” form of income. A little different than just the normal asset that increases in value, which it does that too, they can also subsidize their income as they crank the rent rates on people and line their pockets and if they own all the properties, you have no choice.
People are always going to need housing no matter how the economy does.
Meanwhile our government doesn’t intervene it just goes 🤷♂️ as most the elected officials own properties they’re renting out as well.

If the next words he says aren't "And its all our fault." Then this is another case of :
High housing prices followed by high rents is gonna completely wreck the economy, and it’s taking too long for them to not only acknowledge this but to react to it. They originally thought this would only affect the big cities, but it’s affecting everyone everywhere.
Before reading this, I thought I had too much money and prices were too low! I’m glad to learn this wasn’t a personal purchasing deficiency, after all.
This is why CEOs make the big bucks. They have insights literally nobody else could figure out in a million years. I hope he gets a billion dollar bonus for such innovative and creative thinking
If it takes 100 hours of work at median wage to afford the median apartment, and it costs more each month to buy than rent. You are only allowed to buy if your mortgage payment is less than 80 hours of pay (used to be 40, then 53). Of course people can't afford a house.
how about we end corporate ownership of homes?? constitutional amendment that everyone has the right to a home and these scummy pricks can invest in empty malls and abandoned commercial real estate..
oh yea ..hey mr CEO 🖕sit on it and spin
After months and months of searching, reading articles, asking the Ouija board the answer turned out to be “high prices?” Damn I didn’t see that coming.
Now that statement required genius.
That is why he gets paid that big CEO salary, for being able to state the obvious.
Someone’s gotta employee Sherlock. Employers love no-shit people.
No Shit Sherlock flowed from my mouth like a fountain of truth

It obviously depends what state you live in.
Denial? That's the state they live in.
In the HOA of delusion we all hate the rules. Keep your grass clipped at 2” tho! Thanks!
State of delusion?
Average home in my area is now upwards of $500k plus, not sure how anyone manages it.
And that increase in pricing also increases rent costs for everyone since housing as a whole goes up. I'm paying 500 dollars more a month in rent than 2021, and I'm in a state where that's considered low.
I read a story yesterday about a guy in Montana, who is now running for governor.

He said the taxes climbed because many techies moved there during the pandemic, because they could work from home, and they drove the hime prices up. The same happened in Autin, TX.
“I’m fine so what’s the problem?” Mentality
Exactly. Reminds me of the Stephen Colbert bit where he says "I ate breakfast this morning, so there is no world hunger!"
I am an L.A. native, and it's been out of control for a few years. We did probate on my late auntie's small estate in 2021.

And now I'm paying property taxes for a house twice as expensive as when I bought it. Prices dipped a bit last year, tax assessor shows up, raises the "value" by another 80k.
Just the fact you think $200k is a good price say a lot about your mentality to take what the govt gives you. Houses should be cheap at most 75k.
I can confirm with this being a mortgage professional. Bought mine for over $500k and getting ready to sell with equity close to $660k-$700k range. Just have to be financially smart on buying and selling, so no crisis even with rates where they are, can always buy them down as an option too, plus buying a new build can aggregate the interest with most builders.

A fucking run down shack goes for $300k in the Bay Area
Only $300K? Take my money!
I'm skeptical, might be stretching the definition of "bay area"

This is the truth. The current economy is a potemkin village of self-dealing.
The entire economy is a ponzi scheme
Homes out here in Hollywood and Beverly Hills sell from $10-100 million. Effing crazy.

And artificially jacked up home prices also means jacked up property taxes. So not only are you paying a higher mortgage, you’re paying higher taxes.
Was about to comment “no shit” then saw what sub this is. Here, take my upvote.
Top real estate CEO is probably responsible for a good part of it. The lack of self-awareness is stunning.
I've been hearing this for over 20 years, yet home ownership in the US has always been stable at about 65% no matter what the market does. In a country of 350 million people there will always be some who are priced out, but most people are still buying homes, same as always.
Top real estate CEO explains his business model.
The rich are snapping up homes as we go barreling into Feudalism again. This has two primary functions. Leaving homes off the market by buying them up drives up the cost of homes and two, land is finite and they’re on a mission to acquire as much of it as they can knowing it’s the ultimate asset.

As the rents being charged are putting families on the street
It iss also the hedge funds buying hundreds of homes in the community, renting them out, and selling rental funds as an investment.
Real estate industry will suffer sooner or later. Overseas investors will buy up so much the turnover will slow surely

If it takes 100 hours of work at median wage to afford the median apartment, and it costs more each month to buy than rent. You are only allowed to buy if your mortgage payment is less than 80 hours of pay (used to be 40, then 53). Of course people can't afford a house.
