I don't think I've ever met a realtor that didn't say "This is the perfect time to buy" under all conditions and circumstances.
Next door neighbors house just listed for 1.5M. Open house on Sat and Sun. Their showing the house right now. The other houses in the neighborhood never made it past the first coupe showings. o_O

I might be mistaken, and please correct me if I am wrong, but wasnā€™t it you who said youā€™d never feel the need to explain my CA license plates to a bunch of texas roughnecks?
lol šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜Ž

My buddy didn't explain anything, as he shouldn't have to. Nice spin tho.. Proves my point exactly! Have you been holding on to that one for a while? Lol

A good friend of mine always dreamed about building a house in Prescott. He and his wife went out there a year ago to talked to contractors to build them a house. He said the moment they found out he was from CA they lost interest and wouldn't deal with him. Mind you, my buddy and wife are ultra conservative..Oh well...
A Californian is a Californian is a Californian... !ol.

60-100k reduction isn't "Free falling" when the prices are up 100%

It is a catchy tag line tho. .

For us at the RV park this is good in one way as we are getting ready to get bids on a small barndo. Maybe we can even get contractors to call back now šŸ™„

On the downside, over fathers day weekend we saw a 60% no show rate even though they had prepaid reservations.

Inflationary costs are hitting some folks hard already šŸ™

When just 30 days ago homes were receiving multiple offers and selling for over ask and now homes are seeing $100k price drop 30 days later, Iā€™d say that a pretty significant turn in the market. Letā€™s see if the trend pulls back. My guess is it will continue.

We're starting to see lighter traffic in town, especially weekdays.

Works for me.
They just made me sign a year lease, but fortunately it only came with a $100 a month increase. (6 months would have been $200 a month more) or I had 30 days to vacate.
I figured since I canā€™t afford to buy right now, nor would I if I could, Iā€™d give it a year to collapse and maybe itā€™ll work out in my favor to buy in a year. If not here then probably Missouri.

Iā€™ve been real lucky as far as rent. Even with the $100 increase itā€™s FAR below current value for my little rented abode. 3 years now.
In hind site of course it was a HUGE mistake to not buy 3 years ago, but itā€™s a mistake I wonā€™t make again, or make worse by buying now.

These threads are getting ridiculous @RiverDave

Every......single......day it is another, the sky is falling....let's argue about house prices, my neighbor is over leveraged, toys will be on sale soon......etc.....thread.

Sure is a drag. Send them to their own section.
OMGā€¦ You cracked me upā€¦

I really and truly hope you see the irony of what you posted, especially considering your signature about refinancing.

THATS FUNNYā€¦ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAā€¦ I am literally laughing right nowā€¦ Thanks I needed that.

Wife's best friend is a realtor in Washington DC. Has been killing it for the last 2 years. 1-2 homes per month.
She says sales have dropped off completely in the last 2 weeks for her.

I believe what you are seeing right now is a knee-jerk reaction that's been played out hundreds of time in the RE market. It will cool just as the feds have it planed via rate increases. In two years it will be long cooled and back ticking up, probably sooner as the panic button seller's sell through and others realize it's not the end of the world again.

OKā€¦ I really didnt want to have to spell this outā€¦

You dont want to hear/read threads about housing market decline, or toy sales, or the sky is fallingā€¦
BECAUSE YOUR IN THE MORTAGE INDUSTRY/REFIā€¦. Which is how alot of people buy such things.

Thats the irony, your complaining about the news/facts of markets is contracting and dont want to hear it. So if you close your eyes is not happeningā€¦ Reallyā€¦ but thats how you make a livingā€¦ ?????

I can keep going, but its probably best if I just leave it alone right here.

This is fake news. I havenā€™t heard one realtor or loan guy say itā€™s turning.
Everything is fine.
Exactly. Great time to buy! Get in before the lock! šŸ¤£

SOOOOOO basically you were being an asshole with your original comment? Noted.

Maybe you have been absent for the past year or so but these threads are like a god damn broken record on this site. I am not closing my eyes or complaining about the markets at all!! In fact, I probably listen to more financial podcasts then most people on this site, so I am VERY in tune with what is going on in the world. Yeah, my business is down big time and I am sure there are some people on here that are cheering that....................maybe you are one of them??

Good thing is that I saw this downturn in the mortgage business coming back in November, so we took a large chunk of the money we made over the past 2.5 years and invested in another business that my wife will run to make up for the decline in mortgage income.

It just gets fucking OLD seeing the same shit get regurgitated every single day with a different title............that is ALL I WAS SAYING.

The best part is the people who think they know how things work yet still think the Prime rate is the mortgage rate.

Youā€™re literally the only person that hates these threads. I personally donā€™t think RD should start banning threads on the economy.

Nobody has attacked you personally, quite the opposite. Just donā€™t click into these threads if you hate them so much. Sure it gets old, so does everything. But, I like hearing everyoneā€™s opinion on money, the economy, and real estate. Itā€™s a fascinating subject.

I appreciate your input from your corner of the market. We all have different lenses, so good to see what others see through theirs.

Because so few are honest and many donā€™t know shit.

Even a member here said the fed rate isnā€™t tied to the home loan rate.
I get it. I deal with a lot of realtors. There are a few great ones out there. But probably 300 shitty or shady ones for each great one. Few good ones on this site.

I have dealt with a few that some day I should write a book on what Contractors have to deal with.

The Federal Funds Rate is not tied directly to the 30-yr mortgage rate. It does effect short term adjustable mortgage rates. Thirty-year term rates are more tied to 10-yr treasury rates, supply/demand at lenders (for example does BofA have too much demand, not enough capacity to lend - they will hike rates, and vise versa), and inflation.

There is a strong correlation between term mortgage rates and Fed Funds Rate, but no direct tie.

Iā€™m grateful for the good ones. But when realtors are saying now is the time to buy. They are full of shit.
They are saying interest rates arenā€™t bad. Which they arenā€™t. Considering what they have been in the past.
But you donā€™t buy when the market just went up for the last 8yrs and now the rates just went up as well.
The only way you buy right now is if you have a large down payment and you plan to stay for a long time.

The agent that I no longer use didnā€™t know how to price my home or my parents rental. I pulled the comps and proved her wrong. Guess what both homes sold for allot more than she wanted to list for. Mine sold in 3 days.
Same lady is still pushing how this market was is hit and itā€™s time to buy. She gives zero fucks about her clients.

They are sales people dude. Just like insurance peddlers, car salesman, etc. it is on you to decide if you want to transact.

The 2 rates arenā€™t directly tied together.

So itā€™s a good time to buy for some people in certain conditions, but itā€™s a bad time to buy. And you chose a crappy realtor once, so most are bad.

No they are not tied together in writing. But sure is odd how when the fed rate was down so weā€™re mortgage rates. And when the fed rate went up mortgage rates were and are right behind them. What a coincidence.

Yes they are sales people but they always say consult your real estate professional. Lol professional at what lol

Yore smarter than some think.

Itā€™s a bad time for most. Homes on the market is increasing fast in my area. Gee wonder why, they must not follow RDP where itā€™s always sunshine and Rainbows in real estate.

I was in McCall Saturday looking at houses. Nice stuff hasn't crashed yet, and you're still looking at almost 3 years to get a new home built up there.

Crazy how expensive McCall is.

There has been a few threads on it for sure..

When ya break it down thereā€™s basically three posts that are getting repeated..

1. The market will correct but it wonā€™t drop too much.. itā€™s nothing like 2008

2. The market might stall for a minute but it isnā€™t going to see any major corrections because of inflation.

3. Weā€™re all gonna die.. we are at the edge of the biggest financial disaster in history.. the Great Depression will be nothing compared to this.

Weirdly I could tie screen names to all three of those posts.. lol

Well when oil is cheaper gas is cheaperā€¦ wow what a concept. Last time oil was $120 a barrel gas wasnā€™t $6 a gallon. The 2 are connected but not directly.

The assertion that the 2 rates are not directly tied together is 100% accurate.

Who is ā€œtheyā€? Those are commercials put out by realtors. Just like they (pharmaceutical companies) say ā€œask your doctor if this HIV medication is right for youā€

Well I donā€™t have the HIV so I donā€™t need to ask.

According to Zillow a 164 properties in havasu have price reductions that are for sale lol
At random I clicked a few of the reduced ones. Even with the reduction the ones I clicked are asking 75-100k+ over their 2020-2021 sale price.
