View Quote That's pretty damn accurate. It's gonna involve lvp or fake wood flooring, grayish blue paint interior and exterior, maybe some new appliances and maybe counter tops. They just increased the price $150k. Flippers used to be taking beat to crap junky houses using cash/hard money to make it a decent home and someone could then get a loan to buy it. |

Home prices grew at a record pace in January, as more buyers came off the sidelines. And that fierce competition has led to an eruption of bidding wars, which often drives prices even higher. National Association of Realtors (NAR) data shows that during the first month of the year, the typical seller received 2.7 offers, and 16% of homes sold over the asking price. An important contributor to all of this is an inventory crunch. In 2023, existing home sales hit the lowest level since 2005, as would-be sellers who are locked into low mortgage rates stayed put. "There is such a shortage of houses right now, so prices have gone up despite everybody singing the blues," Corcoran said. "It happened simply because there are a lot of buyers and not enough houses available."

Jonathan Gedde, founder and CEO of Simpli Mortgage and Jerry Abbott, a real estate agent with Summit Properties, joined State of Nevada host Joe Schoenmann to talk about the topsy-turvy world of Nevada real estate. Home prices are still increasing, with the median this month at around $466,000. To afford that, household incomes need to be $111,000 or more. At the same time, Gedde said mortgage rates are at about 7.5 percent. That also represents an increase. Even so, Abbott said that hasn't stopped "droves" of Californians from coming here and buying homes. "Las Vegas is California 2.0," said Abbott. "They are without a doubt the biggest driver as to why home prices in Las Vegas have skyrocketed. When you have so many wealthy people who can pay cash, it really destroys the ability for the average person to buy a home." |

anecdotal data point....but just sold my place west side of wa state in metro area. lots of interest and showings. 6 offers in a week. closed for 20% over asking price...gotta love those escalator clauses. we strategically priced it to garner more interest so that accounts for some of why it went for that much over asking. it was a pretty unique place that was only going to appeal to a smaller subset of buyers. but people are still buying at these rate and price levels.

I closely followed 4 sales in the last two months in my AO. Three in the low 2M market went immediately and over ask. Fourth started at 3.5 and took a year to get 2.8
Crazy. Low inventory seems to be offsetting the higher rates. |

Mixed bag
If I read this article correctly, sales are down (some significantly) for all but the most expensive houses (>$1mil). Median home prices went up 4.8% YoY, probably owing to high dollar houses selling and moderate priced homes not. Under 5% price increase isn't even covering inflation. They also have a plot showing median new home sale prices going down and median existing home sale prices going up some. My guess is the market is lagging demand some. By that, existing expensive homes still have some demand (too much money chasing too few goods or more money than sense, whichever) but builders aren't building to that, they're building more "affordable" homes. Can't say I blame them there since with rates higher, they can ill afford to be on the hook for $1mil+ houses until they sell. |

The insurance crisis in Florida is also throwing a wrench into home purchases and in some cases delaying deals. Nearly three-quarters of Florida homeowners say they or the area they live in has been affected by rising home insurance costs or changes in coverage, a recent Redfin survey found. “One of our agents is representing a buyer who thought he’d be able to get insurance for $2,000 per year—the rate the existing homeowner has. But he found out at the eleventh hour that his insurance will be $4,000 because the house has had water damage. We’re seeing sellers offer a lot of concessions to hold deals together,” said Auciello, whose own home insurance is now $14,000 a year all in, up from around $8,000 two years ago. “We’re at an inflection point. A hefty insurance bill isn’t always a big deal for a luxury buyer, but it can be a really big issue for someone buying a waterfront home on a smaller budget.” Price drops: Of the 10 metro areas where sellers were most likely to cut their list prices, five are in Florida and two are in Texas. In North Port-Sarasota, 48% of listings had a price cut—the highest share in the country. Next came Tampa (44%), Indianapolis (43%), Cape Coral (41%), Denver (37%), Orlando (35%), Portland, OR (34%), Houston (33%), San Antonio (33%) and Jacksonville, FL (33%). Prices: Median sale prices fell from a year earlier in three metros, one of which is in Florida and one of which is in Texas: North Port-Sarasota (-4.6%), Oklahoma City (-1.5%) and San Antonio (-0.3%). Prices climbed least in Austin, TX (0%), El Paso, TX (0.5%), Memphis, TN (0.7%), Tampa (1.1%), Salt Lake City (1.1%), Omaha, NE (1.2%) and Charleston, SC (1.2%). Speed of sales: Of the 10 metros that saw the biggest upticks in median days on market, two are in Florida and two are in Texas: In Cape Coral, the typical home took 31 more days to sell than a year earlier—the largest jump in the nation. Next came North Port-Sarasota (20), McAllen (20), New Orleans (18), Tulsa, OK (13), Cincinnati (13), San Antonio (10), Greensboro, NC (8), Honolulu (7) and Knoxville (7). |

Bump the monthly HOA upper limit to 700 and now you have 166 listings. This to me is insane. Property taxes of almost $6500/yr.

This is probably because people living in those homes purchased or refinanced when rates are around 3% and they will never sell those homes without a significant life event such as divorce or death. I'm in the latter camp but I refinanced knowing I was staying put for at least 15 years anyway. Some of those people in prior years would have sold and upsized but they're not willing to do so if their monthly payment increases 3-4 times when they're only getting 50% more house. |

It makes even less sense to sell a paid off house and invest it since now you are spending your returns on rent and losing the equity you would of gained in your house. It's a double loss. I could see buying a smaller property and then investing the rest. That would make a lot more financial sense. I really cringe at some of the financial advice in GD.

My mortgage is $2170/month on a 30 year FRM. I pay $3170/month to pay it off in 12 years rather than 30 years. There is a house down the street from me, roughly the same design and layout, that is advertised as available for rent for $1850/month. Now, 3170/month for 12 years equals out to $456,480. Yes, I know that I won't actually pay $456K for my house, due to the extra being thrown at the principle and how amortization works. According to the online calculator, I will pay roughly $403,000, after which I will own my own home at the age of 59. $1850/month for 12 years equals out to $266,400, after which the renters will still be renting, assuming that they stay in the same house for 12 years, and assuming that the LL does not increase the cost of rent in that time. |

Look, yes, I have banged HUNDREDS of broads. INTERNATIONALLY. But know this - I wrap my rascal, TWO TIMES, cuz I like it to be joyless and without sensation. It's a way of punishing supermodels.

View Quote $1k/month invested in risk-free treasuries at 5% returns 192k after 12 years. That's cash money and one doesn't have to sell or leverage their home to realize it. Lots of Americans addicted to their home value. It's just somewhere to live. |
