I’ve seen some homes in my area that were purchased in 2019 for $600k being put on the market now for $1.3-$1.5 million. Even with 800+ credit that’s $8,100 - $8,600 mortgage (depending on down payment).

What are these sellers thinking? The number of people who can afford that mortgage are very small. The people who can afford that aren’t going to pay for 125% inflated asset.

Are these sellers just throwing numbers out and seeing what sticks?

If they get the money then both sides think its a fair price.

If they don't get the money then they will come down in price until both sides think its fair.

Thankfully it all takes care of itself.

Closed on selling my home 2 days ago

People want to close faster then ever now before rates keep going up. Sorry you can’t afford the house you want?

You said it yourself, interest rates are going up. You know what that means right? Home prices go down.

Why would anyone buy right now knowing this basic information? People concerned that they’ll pay more over the long run in interest on a 30 year mortgage? That just tells me that they’re bad with their money as nobody should be looking at a mortgage on a 30 year time frame.

Sorry you’re panic buying and paying for an overvalued home?

A fool with his money is soon departed. Those people can’t think 3 months ahead, let alone 2-3 years.

Some tards are taking out $200K HELOC for a home they purchased for $250K, thinking that home is going to stay at that $450K price. They're in for a shock. I hope they didn’t have any plans to move in the next ten years.

And let’s be real, it’s very doubtful that they’re maxing out their 401K contribution, and maybe contribute up to the employer match which is at best 5%. Average household income is $67K, so $3,300 contribution. Hope they’re not planning on retiring in the next 40 years…

Seems like a bad investment at these prices. Where were all these investors 2+ years ago when homes were a fraction of the cost and sitting around on the market for months on end?

The problem is you're thinking to deeply about this. Nobody knows the logic, the valuation, the reasons, the why. They just know it goes up. And it does.

Investors are about to have their "dry powder" tenderly repped by the same 3.5% government bonds that will shred home prices.

Interest rates are financial gravity, and gravity just got turned on to a 15 year high. Every asset will be pulled down by it.

Uhh a financially literate person is supposed to think deeply about how money is valued, how the investments fit into ones total portfolio, and how it will boost their net worth. Especially, if one wants to be financially independent.

Otherwise people do stupid emotional **** like buy high, sell low. Which is what is about to happen in the housing market.

Home prices are very sticky. It will take a lot to have prices move down quickly.

No idea what your talk g about I paid 1.2mil cash at the peak because a fluctuation of a few 100k in value I don’t care about doesn’t matter to me. I comfortably sat on owning two homes through the last few months of “crash” and sold it for 30k over listing to a buyer who contacted us an hour after listing.

I don’t have a mortgage atm.

It's supply and demand. If someone is willing to pay those prices, then sellers will keep charging those prices. The market is gonna do what it's gonna do, it doesn't care if some dude on the misc thinks houses are "overvalued"

Yeah word on the street is that "sanctions" will lead to the end of days. So property pricing is going to PLUMMET, and landlordswill suffer.

just one point, most financial advisors would tell you there's no good reason to max out your 401k especially in your 20s-30s.

You could take the post tax money and put it in a IRA or a brokerage account and get the same gains but it is significantly more liquid.

I’m seeing house listings go longer and longer unsold on Redfin

I’m guessing house flipping opportunists are in denial that they can’t get those inflated prices anymore

what you think misc, pay off my house with a low interest rate or keep a mortgage on it and save until i can purchase an upgrade cash?
Only reason I purchased cash was for diversification purposes and the acreage involved.

Was like 95% net worth in a single private stock. Moving 10% into property seemed a logical thing to do because I’m more worried about market crash then housing. More money was injected into market that needs to be unwound. Housing inflation is from actually printed fiat that won’t come out of the system.

This.

Team RE Crash is ignoring supply and inflation. Will home prices flatten? Yes probably.

An actual crash in RE means we all have bigger problems.

Just one example: HVAC systems. Went up 30% from 2021 to 2022. Going up another 25% at the first of 2023 because of new government mandated efficiency standards.

An HVAC for a modest home in TX right now is around $12,000. Bump that by 25% in January it goes to $16,000. This is for a 1,500 sq. ft. ranch ...nothing fancy or special.
