The house I bought last summer was definitely listed low on purpose for the reason above. The house was posted on Friday, and then they had showings on Saturday. Within a few hours the house had 13 offers, went through three rounds of bidding and re-offers until I finally got it, around $40k over listing price (which is what makes me lol when people are talking about homes being overpriced… based on how much they sell over listing, as if the listing price isn't entirely arbitrary with respect to the actual value of the home, i.e. what people are willing to pay for it)
But yeah low listing price = more hype because the listing stands out more, and the house will sell for over listing anyways

People have that auction winning mentality, and sometimes listing below market if it’s a mediocre property can get you more in this market. Especially competitive areas like Phoenix suburbs.
Step dad bought 5 properties out in Gilbert AZ before Seville and other editions blew up right after the market crash in 2008. He bought these for 90-150k each and now they’re half a million dollar homes. They range from 2 bed 2 bath to 4 bed 2 bath.
Insane.
I passed a McDonald’s today and $17/hr, full benefits, health insurance, 401kmatch, stock program, $500 bonus after 300 hours worked, as much overtime as wanted.
I mean chit, if I could have got that in college I’d have been balling. Instead I was doing slave labor construction. At least I learned a trade, tile work has come in handy as a side gig and networked some good builders.

I literally explained WHY they post a low-ish price. If you list too high, it’s not a matter of wait and see (which is retarded to waste time in this market, so strike one) but you are automatically losing a lot of eyes right off the bat (strike two). If you have someone who is only looking for homes under 500k but you list at 510k, you will have been filtered out. But here’s the thing with the psychology of sales, you get someone to fal in love with a product and then they are more likely to spend higher than their original budget. It’s why apartments or car dealerships advertise their most poverty products (lowest price) but it’s hot because they’re expecting to move those chit tier items, it’s because they will get interest and then let the customers love for the product move their budget.
Also look at eBay. You may have an item with a buy it now price of $1k that will sit for months. Then what? Lower the price a bit? Well that same item got bid up to within 5% of the BIN price in only 7 days. The longer people wait the higher the chance of missing out on these rates as well as their potential dream home. Time is of the essence.
I can only speak for CA, but this is no longer allowed.

I think my first home I paid 15% under list. Actually, I think every home I bought was under list just a few years ago. RE has been pretty crazy to watch on my end. Completely different market.

lots of call ITM for AMC so I'm expecting a big short attack… 12.50+/- the only options that will really be in the money are 11 and change - 12 most people will break even (if I am understanding how that works - still learning)

actual stock has to be bought.
look at AMC stock chart when you zoom out you can see what it is just meme stock atm.

I haven’t done any calls on it, all stock. As carbon said, people need to buy the actual stock. We’re kind of stuck right now, they won’t get margin called until more stock is bought. Or if everyone just holds. They’re hoping that all these market fluctuations with crypto and all the behind the scenes shenanigans they’re pulling will cause the momentum to die off and people sell. A lot of amc holders are crypto holders.
Did you see what ******** did with the amc group?

Yep, there’s really no way for it not to be now. Investors who don’t fully understand crypto treat it like a stock.

Real estate in my area is still down bigly from where I bought five years ago. Paid almost $500k for my current place but am hoping to hang onto it and buy something new while not selling this (to preserve the initial value)
My next vehicle won't be an EV and then hopefully won't need to buy another daily driver for at least 10 years after that

500 miles per charge is probably the big leg that will convert buyers from ice to ev.
most of my friends/family already considering hybrid as next vehicle or already own hybrid
to me RAV4 hybrid seems like easy choice even though it looks ugly as sin imo (reliability / resale value can't be beat)
….it sells so fast as soon it arrive on dealer lot its gone.

Ugh, So much of Canada's GDP is tied up in housing it's insane. It's going to get ugly AF if oil is weak when interest rates meaningfully rise.
RIP our brothers to the north in 2 years.
The US can only prop up Canada's economy so much by exploiting its other natural resources. We can't work miracles.

And just wait until the first group of EV owners feel the rug pull of resale because no one wants a used EV that will need a replacement battery in a year

Most gasoline powered cars dont have a 500 mile range. It's more the "quickness" of charging that is the issue. Most EVs recommend just charging when not using anyway to maintain battery life.
Been debating it for a next car but currently an apartmentcel so no luxury of installing a port near the house. However, the garage a block away has free charging…soooo…..

Charging time is gonna be issue for while until every charger is 250Kw plus and all of them can accept it.
Atm Porsche Taycan is only one that can accept 270Kw which takes 20 minutes to go 0 to 80 percent. Now good luck finding that 300KW charger somewhere lol.

Would you guys say that the reason real estate is so expensive right now is due to supply and demand, or inflation?
Im thinking inflation. If the fed hadnt printed out so much money and given unemployment benefits and stimulus checks and foreign aid, people wouldn't have the liquidity to be throwing their money at real estate. Thoughts?

The 5-year rate on my remaining $360k mortgage is 1.69%, so the cost of borrowing ain’t an issue. But probably won’t look at moving for at least another year, and rates should be up slightly by then
