It is difficult to make exact projections for the housing market as it is still unclear how quickly or to what degree the Federal Reserve will reduce inflation and borrowing costs without having a substantial negative impact on demand from consumers for anything from houses to cars.

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.
You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.

This happened with the 2004 housing boom - home prices were greatly inflated, meaning people couldn't sell later because they owed more on the house than they could sell for. I know quite a few people who bought then, thinking they were making a good investment to sell later, but it's taken until the COVID housing boom for the prices to come back to those original amounts.
To balance out your real estate holdings, I suggest investing in equities. If you're cautious, even the worst recessions can present fantastic buying opportunities. Additionally, volatility can produce fantastic short-term purchase and sell opportunities. This is not financial advise, but you should buy immediately away because money isn't king right now!
Yes I concur, I've been talking to an advisor for long now, mostly because I lack the knowledge and energy to deal with these ongoing market circumstances. I made more than $220K during this slump, demonstrating that there are more aspects of the market than the average individual is aware of. Having an investing counselor is now the best line of action, especially for those who are close to retiring.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
You're correct! With the help of an investment coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets and produce slightly more than $830K in net profit from high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds.

Kevin cut the bs. What would the housing inventory look like if corporations weren't allowed to buy single family homes the last 4 years? That's the biggest issue.
nobody will cut the b.s. but i wish they would. everyone overlooks how the economy was shut down in 2020 and all of a sudden out of nowhere, home prices skyrocket. got a little fundraising going on at the expense of the US citizen, eh US govt?

100% all the Government has to do is stop making housing a "depreciating" asset (obviously it is not REALLY depreciating) and investors would be selling off homes like hot cakes. Yet, we never EVER hear any politicians from either side address these things. Probably because they are doing to too.
House prices are 2x real historical value and 3x in the super bubble areas of the USA. Rents are 2x real value everywhere. Blame the Fed and the government for all of it.
This year's challenges will undoubtedly be more difficult. Looking back, I realized that I was so focused with my portfolio that I made disastrous financial decisions for the entire preceding year. I had to pick between increasing my investments and purchasing a house. After choosing to sell my investments, I discovered that the property I had purchased required more maintenance than I had anticipated. Trying to find out how much longer I can take this is becoming increasingly difficult.
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2022 to enhance my portfolio, and in the last ten months, I've made profits in over fifty thousand different marketplaces. Should 2023 teach us anything, it's that luck doesn't last forever. Even in times of abundance, we should put in more effort to prepare for the worst-case scenario
I sold an apartment in Rochester and made about $250K. I was frustrated when I only earned $171 in interest from a regular savings account. After doing some research, I was advised to invest in stocks. Are these stocks a good point to start from?
While the stock market is promising and can give good ROI, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management so you don't get burnt out in the market as it is very volatile.
@@EdwardsLluka I actually opened an online high-yield savings account with 5.12863% interest compounded daily, expecting to get $2,500 in interest on my initial $50,000 at the end of the month. Instead, I only received $420. When I inquired, I was told the interest is calculated daily, which was not clearly stated on the website. My partner advised me to divert into stocks through an advisor, and in just six months, I achieved over 80% capital growth, excluding dividends. Highly recommended!
true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
People can't even afford a house. Property tax is a secondary concern to someone who can't afford the sticker price. What you just said is nonsensical and stupid.
Nobody cares about us. I'm retired living on $1543.00 monthly on social security. My rent with utilities and rent tax for my July payment is $1493.00. I can't find a job. Been selling everything I own to buy food. Sleeping on a couch now. Our politicians don't care 😢
got some 1920s in there with 2008 this time around , pandemic m2 falling fed raising rates into recession political landscape is also very early 20th century
There're too many people currently holding homes with 2-4% interest rates, back in 08' it was mass foreclosures, housing surplus and relaxed lending options. It's the opposite for all 3 of those things in the current market.
I used to think every investor went broke during recessions, meanwhile some made millions. Bottom line, there's always a recession for some and profit for others, it all starts from having the right mindset. That said, I've set asides part of my savings to invest for future. Unfortunately I'm a complete noob.

As a loan officer I strongly disagree. The low inventory combined with low interest rates drove up prices like crazy. Dropping rates too fast can get us another in another home price increase. Feds do not listen to this guy.
I think housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
Consider reallocating from real estate to stocks. Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.

The housing market is inflated and oversaturated with homes being on the market with astronomical price tags just stagnant for months. It is very clear that or generation will be likely one of the most devastating bubble pops in modern history. Seeking best possible ways to grow 250k into $1m+ and get a good house for retirement, I'm 48.
I don't think here is the place for personalized investment guidance. However, I suggest consulting with a reliable advisor like Azul to ensure appropriate retirement planning.
I’m closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me.

In Seattle, after many decades of sharply restricting construction of new housing, laws were changed. Now, on a 50x100 foot lot that used to be limited to one single family home, now five are allowed. That is increasing the number of small, single family homes that are being built.
Many builders don't want to build a small 900 ft home. They can't make any money off of it. Neither can a real estate agent. Sad reality is many low income can't afford more then a small apartment an I believe it's a crime anywhere for rent to be anywhere near 1k a month for a little apartment or a mortgage on a tiny home. My ❤️ to the poor. Greed in America is killing them.
Same here, ever since what the banks did in 2008 when everyone's house had a for sale sign out front and all construction stopped it hasn't been the same. Still don't see many homes being built, and especially the big towns we used to build in San Diego throughout the 70s. Permits are too high as well.
@@davidwilliams4498I bought 5 acres in the foothills an hour from Yosemite, and built my own tiny home, I'm an outdoors person by nature so that's all I need.
I agree. One of American's most famous slumlords could fix the housing market the same way he fixed his properties ... by declaring bankruptcy over and over. Great point!
No this is the exact same as 2008 with sub prime Mortgage. They had low interest rates to begin and as soon as the entry period was over the interest rates went up knocking people out of the ability to pay for their home. Going up to over 6 to 7% for their sub prime that started at 2 to 3%
I lived through the 1990’s. Homes prices went very high. Then home prices crashed. It took ten years for our neighbors to get back up to the price they paid for it. They had bought at the high right before things crashed.
I think this is mostly because corporate hedge funds have bought up massive amounts of vacant properties and held them off of the market to artificially prop up prices. Some of this problem also has to do with rather stringent zoning regulations in some jurisdictions.
@@TrumpCantRead That depends. For example, they can write off their vacant properties on their annual federal income taxes. Depending upon how much they keep vacant, as well as the size of their income-tax liabilities, the savings could be more than what they would be able to get filling those vacancies.
@@TrumpCantRead I believe I've explained this to you previously elsewhere, but a house or other property for sale can be "overpriced" if it *doesn't* attract any buyers. The seller of the property can either sufficiently *lower* the price to attract buyers, *or* take the property off of the market. Again, this is *The Law of Supply and Demand.*
Even these stats are so misleading. Eggs cost 2.99 USD for a dozen in my area about a year or so ago. They are now 3.99 USD. That's a 33% increase. Not the 3% they make it seem.
@@TrumpCantRead Odd. As I said, the stats are misleading. Because the stats are aggregate, and no such aggregate exists in half of the state I live in. But isn't that's why these stats are brought out and showcased as "facts?"
@@gregory4154 Dunno what “stats” are “THE stats” but inflation is calculated by the Federal Government based on the “cost of living” which is determined by a continuous nationwide survey of market prices of specific items, all of which is available on the Federal Government websites AND in the reoccurring regular press releases. Your random price check is meaningless
Here’s the problem with low interest rates… when interest rates are low people buy more house (larger home over paying inflating home values) instead of buying the house they “need” and paying it off faster. And the long term consequences of inflated home values… higher property taxes and higher home owners insurance. At the end of the day Americans are just bad with money.
The only way to make money in this housing is unloading at these levels. If you think you will be first to get out in rates reversal you are mistaken. You will be holding the bag in a year.
It's not the higher rates, its the fact that the home prices are way too high.....overpriced....we need to go through foreclosures etc....lower rates equals higher prices
If you lower rates they will just raise the price of the houses. Regulation needs to be cut so more houses can be built. Inventory increase is the only thing that's going to help or a housing crash or a housing prices just come down
It has been said that private equity firms and corporate hedge funds buy up excess supply and hold it off of the market to artificially inflate prices. Perhaps the Feds should force these corporations to divest these properties.
@@TrumpCantRead This is true, unless large economic entities such as corporate hedge funds buy up massive amounts of homes, leaving a percentage of them off of the market and vacant. Remember, leaving at least *some* of them vacant would allow these hedge funds to write them off at tax time, and the savings could be more than the income generated from just allowing their vacancies to be filled, allowing them to minimize their income-tax liabilities.
Rates, terms... blah blah blah. The truth is mass investment by Wallstreet keeping millions of empty houses off the market creating an artificial short along with government greed through taxation is the problem. Housing is 2x 3x what it shiuld be ...End of story
Please Kevin. The problem is not interest rates. Although currently high, they fluctuate giving one the opportunity to refinance. The real problem now with housing is the INSURANCE RATES AND PROPERTY TAXES. Insurance rates never go down, only up and homeowners are seeing insurance premiums double, even triple. That's the REAL problem with housing now. Even if you can afford to pay for the house, you will not be able to pay for the property insurance.
Lower section 8 payments and other government programs will bring the rents down, and that will bring lower prices for buildings. NYC pays 3000$$$ a one bedroom apartment for section 8. Working men can't compete with government checks.
I'm single, on my 30s and financially stable. I own a house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I live alone in the house, and I don't have kids. The mortgage is already paid off so I don't need to worry about paying monthly mortgage. Owning a home feels peace of mind.
@@eugenefirebird8938the low interest rates were caused by the Bush/Cheney 2008 financial crisis. Republicans always do this kind of stupid stuff and a Democrat has to clean it up. Kinda like Trump inheriting the longest running economic recovery in American history from Barak Obama and handing Biden the worst economic crisis since the Bush Great Recession
The housing market isn't a factor in deciding rates, nobody at the fed cares what a house costs. Rates are determined by how much money the gov printed, and by that amount how much the banks need to claw back so they're not left holding the bag. They do it through somehow charging more to do the same job, aka interest rate hikes. It's the great financial scam cycle.
@@eugenefirebird8938 I partially agree with your comment. While low interest rates played a part, the major actions that really ignited inflation were two things: the scene was set using "quantitative easing," i.e., repeatedly raising the debt limit and using the limit to issue U.S. bonds ny the U.S. Treasury that were "bought" by the Federal Reserve thereby increasing the debt of the U.S. government. What truly started eroding the purchasing power of money (inflation) was requiring the country to shut down during Covid and paying people money for staying home and producing nothing. These two actions as other little actions, became kindling to the forest fire and helping it grow out of control.
House on the market now had a buyer could qualify for the load but insurance is so high they could not afford the insurance. Back on the market hoping someone comes along.
I like Kevin O’Leary very intelligent man knows his business. Remember back 3 1/2 years ago when President Trump was an office Americans didn’t have any of these problems. Just remember that.
Single people don't need single-family homes. The average single person has never been able to afford a home. Get an apartment. If you want to start a family, then both of you can work and afford a home
@@TrumpCantRead I told you a fact. You don't need a single family house as one person. You can make do just fine in a 1 bedroom apartment. The other fact was that the average home in america has never been affordable for the average single income worker. I can give you an opinion though, but I don't think you'd like it.
I’ve been involved in the infrastructure development business for several decades. More and more people. Aging infrastructure. Diminishing water supplies. Diminishing resources of all kinds. Sure, building more sounds great. That leads to even more people and more fights over resources. He’s a typical short term solution guy. Just like Trump. These problems have no easy solutions. Start there and look for people who have a bigger picture understanding.
Google the amount of Foreign nations that own single family homes in America and corporate landlords colluding to leave units empty to prop up rent prices.
My suspicion this is the case because corporate hedge funds and other massive corporate entities have bought up excess supply and held it off of the market, artificially inflating prices.
@@TrumpCantRead It can be complicated. "Excess supply" *could* be defined as vacant houses and/or rental units that private equity firms and corporate hedge funds decide to hold off of the market at a net profit. As I've said to you elsewhere previously, it could be less costly and more profitable to leave some of their properties vacant to write them off and lower their income-tax liability during federal tax time.
Trashing the chips and science act isn't smart. It's been very successful in bringing back dominance and jobs to the US and we need to see more of it rather than outsourcing again and again. Kevin should know better. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Trickle down doesnt work.
Quite the cherry-pocked out-of-context stat you got there. 3 inches of snow doesn't sound like a lot the day affer a blizzard that just dumped 3 feet. Our 3% inflation right now doesn't tell the whole story, and you know it.
Ban !! Real state companys from buying houses , apartments, and condos no longer letting them to be able to set the market prices !!!! Sending the housing markets, down the road to a catastrophe in real estate for future home owners ...just like what has happened in Comercial real estate ....huge mistake . Greedy landlords!!!!!!!
The only solution is to increase the supply of single family homes on the market. But if you do that, *everyones* house will be worth far, far less so everyone who bought high are completely underwater
The city of Seattle used to allow only one house on a 50x 100 foot lot. A couple of years ago, that was increased to a total of six single family homes on a 50x100 foot lot. The price of those single family houses (mine included) are going up rapidly now that FIVE MORE HOUSES can be built on smaller lots.
The average US salary is 60k....not 80k...In the US, 50% of employed workers make 30k or less... thats the reality that these MSM folks like to avoid covering

We are not paying more for the gasoline. Stop lying . Lowering the interest will lead higher housing prices. Interst rate is high so that the Inflation can be contained.
he has zero interest in making housing affordable. People like him are disrupting supply by buying properties and renting them out for exorbitant prices to average Americans. Younger Americans move from state to state every 3-5 years in search of affordable housing. It's exhausting. Some of the things we can do to fix the housing problem:" 1- The Fed needs to limit investment properties to maintain a decent supply-demand ratio. 2- Give relief to people from property taxes. 3- Reduce regulations/ red tape so builders can build more houses QUICKLY. 4- Limit immigration to ensure average Americans have a place to live (we need to learn from Australia and Canada how reckless immigration can lead to a housing shortage). 5- Develop suburbs and incentivize people to move away from the city to prevent the concentration of people in an area leading to high costs.
Stringent zoning regulations are an important factor in this equation, in some jurisdictions. Prices need to be commensurate with paychecks; it's that simple.
@@TrumpCantRead We'll see when businesses start cutting payrolls, and those paychecks start disappearing. After all, the bank needs *income verification* to authorize a loan, and landlords need the same thing to justify accepting a tenant.

I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
You're correct! With the help of an investment coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets and produce slightly more than $830K in net profit from high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds.

Corporate ownership of single family homes is the issue
As a loan officer I strongly disagree. The low inventory combined with low interest rates drove up prices like crazy. Dropping rates too fast can get us another in another home price increase. Feds do not listen to this guy.
I think housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
Consider reallocating from real estate to stocks. Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.

Inventory is the problem. Government needs to incentivize small business to build. Large builders are only interested in $800K plus homes.
In Seattle, after many decades of sharply restricting construction of new housing, laws were changed.
Now, on a 50x100 foot lot that used to be limited to one single family home, now five are allowed. That is increasing the number of small, single family homes that are being built.
I was a home builder for 20yrs
The regulations shut me down
NoT worth the extra hoops
"The regulations shut me down"

Many builders don't want to build a small 900 ft home. They can't make any money off of it. Neither can a real estate agent. Sad reality is many low income can't afford more then a small apartment an I believe it's a crime anywhere for rent to be anywhere near 1k a month for a little apartment or a mortgage on a tiny home.

Same here, ever since what the banks did in 2008 when everyone's house had a for sale sign out front and all construction stopped it hasn't been the same.

I think this is mostly because corporate hedge funds have bought up massive amounts of vacant properties and held them off of the market to artificially prop up prices. Some of this problem also has to do with rather stringent zoning regulations in some jurisdictions.

@@TrumpCantRead That depends. For example, they can write off their vacant properties on their annual federal income taxes. Depending upon how much they keep vacant, as well as the size of their income-tax liabilities, the savings could be more than what they would be able to get filling those vacancies.

Dunno who “we” is but how would YOU know who is buying a “second house”?
Just have your spouse buy the house. This isn’t a fix all as you think it is.
Here’s the problem with low interest rates… when interest rates are low people buy more house (larger home over paying inflating home values) instead of buying the house they “need” and paying it off faster.
And the long term consequences of inflated home values… higher property taxes and higher home owners insurance.
At the end of the day Americans are just bad with money.
The only way to make money in this housing is unloading at these levels. If you think you will be first to get out in rates reversal you are mistaken. You will be holding the bag in a year.

Please Kevin. The problem is not interest rates. Although currently high, they fluctuate giving one the opportunity to refinance.

The housing market isn't a factor in deciding rates, nobody at the fed cares what a house costs. Rates are determined by how much money the gov printed, and by that amount how much the banks need to claw back so they're not left holding the bag. They do it through somehow charging more to do the same job, aka interest rate hikes. It's the great financial scam cycle.
@@eugenefirebird8938 I partially agree with your comment.
While low interest rates played a part, the major actions that really ignited inflation were two things: the scene was set using "quantitative easing," i.e., repeatedly raising the debt limit and using the limit to issue U.S. bonds ny the U.S. Treasury that were "bought" by the Federal Reserve thereby increasing the debt of the U.S. government. What truly started eroding the purchasing power of money (inflation) was requiring the country to shut down during Covid and paying people money for staying home and producing nothing. These two actions as other little actions, became kindling to the forest fire and helping it grow out of control.

Younger Americans move from state to state every 3-5 years in search of affordable housing. It's exhausting. Some of the things we can do to fix the housing problem:"
1- The Fed needs to limit investment properties to maintain a decent supply-demand ratio.
2- Give relief to people from property taxes.
3- Reduce regulations/ red tape so builders can build more houses QUICKLY.
4- Limit immigration to ensure average Americans have a place to live (we need to learn from Australia and Canada how reckless immigration can lead to a housing shortage).
5- Develop suburbs and incentivize people to move away from the city to prevent the concentration of people in an area leading to high costs.
