The housing market. * 1
    #27727099 - 04/09/22 10:30 AM (1 year, 9 months ago)

Recently mortgage rates spiked to 6.5% and are suppose to keep trending upward.

The fed is going to be raising interest rates .5% every 6 months to fight inflation.

The house I bought is up 3x in value over the last 6 years.

If I were to sell my house right now, if someone put 100,000 dollars down on it for their purchase, their mortgage would be 5,000 a month.

These prices seem far too insanely high.

Will this mortgage house of cards collapse?

Well, the basic tenet of raising rates is to slow inflationary & expansionary economic forces, so naturally, the higher mortgage rates go, the "cooler" the housing market is going to get as the pool of potential buyers who can secure adequate financing will diminish.  On the flip side, inflation is more or less universal across the economy, especially when driven by an undercurrent of rising energy costs (which are being exacerbated by the Russian/Ukrainian war), since almost everything has an energy component to its cost, from various points production to delivery.

Admittedly, wage growth tends to lag, and that will be the pinch point that slows the housing market.  I wouldn't necessarily expect it to outright crash, although it will undoubtedly temper a bit, and could draw down if the Fed is too aggressive, which they almost have to be given how quickly purchasing power is diminishing, if they really want to put a lid on price expansion.

Bottom line is, it's good to be a home owner right now, as your equity is inflation resistant and should continue to track with price movement in the broader economy.  If you've been a saver and sitting on piles of cash, these past couple of years have been an exceptionally painful period of time.

Housing markets are great if your a seller looking to rip off buyers right now. Being a buyer its terrible. At this point id have to spend my life savings on down payment and closing cost just to get the monthly payment low enough to be affordable. And thats a modest house. Now i could do what everybody in my area seems to be doing. Buy a 600sq ft 2br house you can barely breathe in for 80k, dump in 40k to remodel, and expect idiots to buy a tiny house for 4x what its worth.

Renting is even worse. They want as much in the run down ghetto areas as they do the nice areas. Looking like a good time to burn the rich and redistribute their assets.

Depends on your needs. If you need a place to live, stay on it.

Chances it willl ever drop to at or below what you paid are slim. To any potential homebuyers the best advice I can give is to save up and wait out the cycle. As interest rates keep climbing there will likely be a supply change, especially in non metropolitan areas. Nothing goes up forever, at least that I know of

Hard situation. On one hand value will drop again eventually. On the other hand its a great hedge against inflation. If it were me id probably sell while its high, rent until prices drop, then hold the profits split up between different banks to keep it all FDIC insured and drop 300k on a new place when the market has cooled down.

That all hinges on having enough income to afford rent on a place that meets your housing needs without dipping into your profits though.

I talk some serious shit as a buyer but as a seller id rake in the cash and secure enough capital to make investments and build wealth.

Anybody recall 2008?  History repeating itself. By 2025 all these overpriced homes people took out loans to get will be devalued and millions of people will be upside down and eventually the economy will crash with massive layoffs forcing people to default and banks foreclosing. Banks and counties get rich as usual due to high property taxes in overvalued hones and the banks from giving these people loans for houses that are no where near there value. If you think inflation is bad now, wait a couple years. 2008 all over again .  Best advice is, if you have multiple houses, sell, and if you’re looking to buy, just save your money. It’s like buying a used 2000 Honda for the price of a brand new Mercedes.

I'm going for a USDA farm loan, guaranteed for farmers under 35 with 3 years farm ownership. Sounds easier than college and you get your own business right? And your doing one of the most increasingly  important jobs in. No down payment, 1% interest fixed for 30 years and a cap amount based on the average farm price currently in America.

Fuck your conventional bank shit. Sign your life away for what. Mr GED owns his house after 10 years or some shit like that right bud? I don't believe you. I don't care to entertain the thought even.



The housing market will crash soon, as the economy is crashing.
Isn't half your money in Bitcoin anyone bud? How's that going forya?

With fuel on the rise, how that's effecting the supply chain, inflation, the housing market, all of that combined is going to crash out economy.
Not just houses, housing.

Noones, NOONE, is thinking about buying a house right now.


And all I get from this dumb post you made is you trying to swing you little baby dick around like "oooo I got a house, and houses are worth so much, and noone can afford one, I'm so great". Call me bitter, I'm not. All I see is stupid. Nothing I've ever read for you I found valuable, and I'm suppose to looks at what your doing relative to getting a house. I could care less. But I think you may be stealing light from other readers even.
It's not that easy. Not these days. And your probably just full of shit like usuall anyways.

I have never heard about these USDA farm loans with 1% interest. That seems interesting.

Farms in my state are worth million and millions of dollars. I am not sure someone just entering the game here could even turn a profit with how much land costs here right now.

However a good while ago I was browsing houses in Oklahoma and many farms there are under 200k I am sure the more industrial sized farms cost a bit more than that but at 1% interest that could be a good play.

Home values in the Seattle Area are down, price reductions from 50k on mid tier homes and upwards of 300k+ on the really high end homes.

My bad, not lower than 1.5%. and it is based on the current market rate average. So it is probably a bit different than a couple years ago now..

Looks like the max Loan amount is 600k. Can't buy anything in my state farm wise for that much.

I have for quite a few years now, dreamed of liquidating all my assets and moving somewhere cheap like Oklahoma or something.

When I got laid off during covid I almost did it in a panic.

Now I got my job back but there are rumors that hundreds of employees are going to be moved to the Renton location which means an hour commute for me if I get moved there, which I am not ok with which has thinking of Oklahoma again.

A much more simple life sounds appealing but the grass is always greener or something like that.

Looks like the max Loan amount is 600k. Can't buy anything in my state farm wise for that much.

I have for quite a few years now, dreamed of liquidating all my assets and moving somewhere cheap like Oklahoma or something.

When I got laid off during covid I almost did it in a panic.

Now I got my job back but there are rumors that hundreds of employees are going to be moved to the Renton location which means an hour commute for me if I get moved there, which I am not ok with which has thinking of Oklahoma again.

A much more simple life sounds appealing but the grass is always greener or something like that.




I can grow 100lbs a week of oysters without a doubt in a 10*20' space.



Idk, seems like feeding into a rat race to me.

I kinda want to move like 4 hours away where the weather's not as nice but the rents 4x as cheap and the towns are 10x as small, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Where I live it rains about 9 months out of the year.

There is a term use for here called the Seattle Freeze. Basically the constant being indoors because its always raining makes people go insane and hostile.

I mean we literally had a CHAZ zone where they took over a police station this place is nuts. I have lived here my whole life and I have a feeling there is better out there than here.

But this is where the Aerospace Industry is and I spent my entire life wanting to get into Aerospace and well I guess it is a dream come true to finally be doing it, however I only do about 1-4 hours of work a day and the rest of the day I watch videos or play mobile games.

The new Diablo Immortal is out so I spent most of Friday at work playing that.

Most of the day most of the employees are doing nothing and most make 100k+ a year and I am wondering if the business is even sustainable long term with this level of unproductivity.

The last time the government tried to bail them out during covid the government wanted part ownership for bailing them out so they went with a private loan instead.

Despite all their online postings of Pro BLM and ACAB and pro socialist crap during the riots and shit, the moment socialism starting trying to stick its paws in their business they were like fuck off.

Anyway they're doing all that rainbow shit right now.

It was like 2 years ago.

And now with Airbus finally being a major competitor and the new Chinese aircraft entering the game it is hard to say what the future holds.

But their defense sector will probably always keep them afloat.

At this point I feel like I would rather work for airbus but there is very little opportunity in the states to work for them.

During the Covid lay offs a lot of people went to space X but space X was a long drive for me so I was like fuck that shit.

Real estate is a locally dependent market.  Zillow reports my "zestimate" value is +0.5% over the last 30 days, at a rather ludicrous $1110 per square foot!  I'd have a hard time believing it except that I've toured toured several of the comparable properties around my block that have been selling at those sky high rates.  Plop my home in Mississippi and it'd be worth ~25% of what it fetches here.  I'm removed from the inner city but have easy access into the heart of LA and its surrounding cities.  Although I do expect some additional cooling in the market, I personally feel relatively insulated to major shocks due to the prime location.  My home is somewhat lower end for the neighborhood, which is actually preferable with regard to price stability, as I own an entry level home in a very high ranking public school district, and it's a lot easier to find families eager to buy the entry level homes to get their kids quality education, than it is the $10-$15 million dollar properties that often sell for under asking, whereas a home in my more pedestrian end of neighborhood recently set a record at 30%+ over asking.

Mortgage rates are hitting 7% and the housing market has taken a significant sink, projections are 20% more downward motion from here, news articles appearing calling the market a bubble

Yeah, with the Fed still pedal to the metal on rate hikes, the housing market is definitely feeling the effects.  I think a lot of folks were expecting the Fed to back off a bit once they saw the market react, but that isn't happening, at least not yet.  My home is still hanging in there @ an estimated $1029/sq ft, although still down roughly 7% from its peak value as of the post I made above three months ago.  We'll see how it goes...

Man my brother tried to sell his house at 1.2 but I think these rates got in the way. One year ago sold without a problem, now not a single bid.

He said they’re good regardless and love their house, but crazy what a few short months can bring

Interest rates are now 7% and some people getting 8%, 2023 is predicted to hit double digit rates.

I just did some calculations with a mortgage calculator and for someone to buy my house with a modest 30k down their payment would be 5,200 a month.

with a whopper of 120k down payment, it would be 4,150 a month.

even with the large 120k down payment, that is 50k a year in just mortgage payments alone.

That is completely out of reach for most people. These prices are about to tank.

Prices and interest rates are typically inversely correlated.

Interest rates go up, prices gotta go down. We've had 40 years of generally falling interest rates. It is going to be a rough decade for some, especially those holding variable rate debt.


At $350k @ 5.6% Your house price of price plus interest is $650k

At $430 @ 3.6% Your price plus interest is 650K

At $480 @ 2.6%  Price is 650k.

The payment for all these mortgages is roughly the same at $2100 per month.

Or the fed flinches and somthing system looks like it will break and they start cutting rates within the next 18 months, which is my thought of what the base case will be.

The housing boom around here has already begun to crash.  I was lucky enough to get in at the right time when I sold mine.  But if you got funds I think soon things are gonna get a LOT cheaper.  A year ago, anything listed would sell in a week or less for over value, now those things are starting to sit for longer and longer.

But then there's supply and demand, so I could be wrong.  That's why I like real estate as an investment though, there's only gonna be more and more people needing it, and there's only so many houses available, considering the cost of building is only going up.

I tried to sell my house and my realtor dropped the ball. Won't go into specifics because it just generates massive anger. I fired that agency and just pulled off the market. I was planning on relisting here soon however. I've had multiple offers but from the peak I have accepted I'll be getting 10% less than what I would have gotten in June of 2022 if my realtor was actually competent.

There's a lock-in effect right now from people getting good rates on mortgages prior to the FED rate hikes. If you look up the data sales are down but the median listing prices are holding pretty steady because of this. Once inventory from these investors starts to dry up and housing builders finish up what they started already. Things should tighten back up.

If you look up the median rent in your area that's likely where you should gravitate your pricing towards. Example if median rent is $2100 month for a comparable home then the median listing price should be around $330,000 with a 6% 30-Y mortgage.

Housing is also hyperlocal, variable, and location matters more in large metros than anything.
