The asset bubble will continue till they blow up the debt market, then we are all screwed. Gold will collapse with other assets, but will rebound quickly and aggressively, that is my opinion
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless." - Thomas Jefferson
He got it backwards probably because he never thought the people would allow the government to take gold out of the value of the dollar and its devaluation then inflation.

I live in Southern California. My insurance over the years has gone from $1,300/yr to now $8,000. No claims, house is less than 2,000sqft. Even with Prop 13, property taxes go up every year. Daily living costs - food, utilities, fuel - have all gone insane. Homeless and crime are out of control. Won't end well.
Same here. Peter said something important, nominal cost of a house can go UP denominated in dollars, but will drop 90% in terms of gold. My big concern today is a dollar liquidity crisis, if that happens gold will sell off, that is the moment to convert dollars to gold. What's the probability of a liquidity crisis? That's the burning question.
The reason the government is involved in real estate is due to property taxes. It is a conflict of interest for them. If property values drop, so does their revenue.
If property values drop they can simply raise the rate and maintain the same income. They may not be reelected, but they can raise the rate to balance the budget.
I finally own my one and only home. However the property taxes keep rising so much each year that the taxes are almost as much as the payment, which included insurance.
You might consider moving to a state where their ability to raise property taxes with an increase in value is limited. For example, in Michigan they can only raise the taxable value of a property by the lesser of 5% or the CPI. I think Indiana has even stricter limits.
I hope so, I bought and paid off my house 10 years ago. I bought at $244k. The city now appraises it at 502k. That’s bull. My house is a 1963 build that hasn’t been updated since 1976. Real estate is so pumped it’s ridiculous.
@@puggychu that’s what they want. There has been a lot of effort to put freezes into effect but realtors have heavily lobbied against it. They like the turn over cause that’s more sales for them.
Thank you for your honesty and transparency. It's refreshing to see someone acknowledging the harsh reality of rising prices, which are leaving many of us feeling battered and bruised. While I'm grateful to be in a position to absorb these costs, my heart goes out to those who are struggling to make ends meet and can't afford their basic necessities. It's a stark reminder of the growing wealth gap and the need for collective action to support those who are truly suffering.
As a beginner, remember that no one can predict the future. Approach investing with humility and focus on a short or long-term strategy with a proven edge. I'm open to suggestions on effective long-term strategies - please share your insights.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
I'm constantly seeking ways to boost my passive income, as I don't want to work until I'm 60. I'm taking proactive steps now to increase my earnings while I'm not working
I like to keep a small "in case the market crashes" fund to try and take advantage of the low prices. When the market goes south, I use that money spread out over the following months buying my targeted stocks on low days. on top of my usual DCA, They keep dropping and I keep buying. I'm still in on Renewable Energy, EV, Tech, Health.coins too gotta be greedy when others are fearful. At this point I'm grateful for my FA. Already with a 7 figure portfolio but I have no doubt investing more.
In 1974 in sillicon valley I built a 3000' house on 3 acres for 20 dollars a sq ft today I am pricing out a similar house near the the other one It is over 600 a sq ft The property tax in 1974 was 800 a year this one the property tax will be 40 000 a year it is gov and its greed that has caused this
Inflation, is tax theft. Inflation is a Civilization ender. 2% Inflation means your money is 3 cents in 50 years. Central Banks and fiat currency, doom and destruction!
It is a fact of life ... why fight it and complain? You need PASSIVE income! Have you been buying GOLD during tis time? Prices will ALWAYS rise, but not your income!
What about private equity buying up real estate with cash that regular buyers can’t compete with. We have had Fannie Freddie for decades without this massive price run up. Private equity buying up 40% of real estate in some areas and whole neighborhoods for rentals is the real problem. Greed of Wall Street is destroying the average American. What is government doing with all the extra real estate taxes?
@ace9840 From the “Federal” Reserve of course. They are great at printing for the 1% , MIC & NGOs carrying out the DAVOS/WEF plans but not for housing Americans and feeding them healthy regenerative food so they aren’t poisoned by BigPharm and can live long, healthy, productive lives and have children so we don’t have to pay to import illegals and give them everything Americans are deprived of. Fannie/Freddie going belly up would be infinitesimally less of a loss as the $35 trillion we have nothing to show for except the casinos on Wall Street.
@ace9840 They used hedge funds,BlackRock on & on...(other people's invested money to pay cash/no financing deals) Which inflated supply & demand 99% of sellers would take a (cash deal)over a financed one That's why all the housing got inflated
@ace9840 The biggest dump of money came/is coming from government fiscal spending programs. All the money trickles up to the people who have the most money. The big money holders then need to find a place to park it. i.e Demand goes up for RE and the average consumer is left out in the cold.
Every time I meet someone that lives in the DC area they all tell me how the area is booming. The Federal government is spending our money on building monuments to themselves and to keep the gravy train going. We must shrink DC , smaller government, more power should be deferred to the states and even more should be the purview of the local governments.
Since 2001, the average house is down nearly 80% when priced in gold. Peter believes this trend will continue… that’s what he means when he says 80 to 90%.
I have seen home prices double from decades steady levels in just a few years. The homes prices themselves can correct 90% to the decades steady normal
*If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you.... prevent inflation*
Peter is right. Back in the 1960's food stamps came out. I can remember food shopping with my father and him tossing back packages of meat saying too dear. At the time, I was 12 years old and didn't know about the food stamps. When I was much older, I looked into ti and discovered that food prices became too high for my working father because the government was subsidizing non-working people so they could buy food. This raised the prices for my working father.
The real issue is not food stamps or welfare. The problem is working class people get taxed the most while hyper wealthy people pay a fraction of their share while rigging the system to keep wages low. And then they trick us into believing that the lowest class on food stamps is the problem. Classic bait and switch but most people fall for it and get pissed off at food stamps while the ultra rich hoard all the wealth through shady schemes
Ur father taught you wrong like so many have. Corporations raised their prices purposely to pull more money out of the pockets of citizens, cuz they can and u and ur father allowed the corporations to do so by blaming government. Take an economic class.
As a professional in the industry, I have observed a significant increase in home price reductions over the past 6 to 8 weeks. Previously, I received one or two notices a week, but this has surged to several notifications daily. Additionally, there has been a marked rise in the number of homes on the market. The local real estate map for the valley area now shows a predominance of "for sale" flags that completely cover the map. There is a notable shift in market dynamics.
The Earth has tens of thousands of valleys. Maybe even millions of valleys. Nobody knows what you're talking about when you say, " The valley area." Are you talking about the Red River valley of North Dakota?
There is an urgency to sell. Some people have lost jobs, some people are going underwater with their mortgages, there are those who see the writing on the wall and want to get out before the whole RE market takes a dive.
Same in Las Vegas, but homes get sold to investors do a rental search, there are more houses for rent here than homes for sale, and the rental prices are ridiculous for this town.
I’m so sick of hearing about gold. Nobody needs gold. You need tools, housing, seeds, land, power, water. You can live your whole life and never touch or own gold.
@eliot5220 wealth preservation. Gold has had value for millenia. Other forms of money have come and gone and gold still has value. Gold is indestructible, non-reactive, non perishable. Gold holds its value and has stood the test of time. It has survived fallen civilizations. If everything on earth was destroyed and humans dug up gold 1000 years from now it will still have value.
If you listen carefully, he is telling people they will lose everything, equity, stocks, cash, etc.. however, if you buy gold, you will be safe. By the way, he sells gold 😂
No I disagree with him. FDR stole American citizens' gold. Whats to say that doesn't happen again. I don't think anything is safe right here, right now.
I feel like one of the main issues is that business owners and corporations do not pay a fair wage while they are making millions. They should get a decent wage but they are more interested in making more and more for themselves. HOW Can young adults make enough to make retirement
Well done Todd - great interview with a great operator in Peter Schiff. Love the home you were recording in - looked spectacular! Peter was one of the very few to call the 2008 crash and his haters never mention this. People would be well advised to listen when he speaks of the next crash. It is always better to be a year early in preparation than a day late - this is what the haters and the turkeys forget. Peter is one of the greats and an inspiration to free thinkers. He is of the ilk of Ron & Rand Paul, Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers. Keep up the great work you ol' 61 year old and don't let the turkeys get you down (haha, I have 2 years on ya so I can cal you old!). Luv you and all your material. Cheers from Sydney Australia.
I hear the stuff that Peter Schiff is describing already happening in Canada, with people renting out spare rooms and basements to strangers just to keep up with the mortgage/home ownership expenses.
I live in SoCal I can’t buy a house and my rent is going up every year. Some of my co workers are now living in Mexico and crossing the border to work. I might have to do the same very soon. I might save around 2k a month just by moving to a border city in Mexico.
Most are retiring in foreign country & living like a king before retirement… Vietnam China Thailand Mexico Philippine….Anywhere but USA: tax, insurance,renewal fees,gas, & more bills…
The social security gets diminished quick once you retire. Or at least in my case it has. At first I was doing ok but now that everything has tripled in price I am struggling to stay afloat.
The only generation had it better than there parents and kids. All you had to do was buy a couple index shares in the 80s and hold stay in your 50k home you paid off decades ago and live off the 10x in equity the ss check should just be a bonus.
While I don't disagree, you still have to pay for schools and other infrastructure in your area somehow. I'm fine with "pay for what you use" model, but most are not, and they would be shocked with a 5-10k school bill every year... per child.
I agree. I live in a small county in east Tennessee. Our property taxes were just raised over 4%. Why? Because the county officials "need" a 6% pay increase. They say the money is going to fix the roads. I haven't seen that happen yet. My back country road has potholes that would swallow an oldsmobile. Our water bill has gone up another 4% this year as well... for what? No clue. Just another pay increase for the local "elites." They are nickel and diming us to death.
@@budala1969it’s closer to 15k per child each year for government education..a teacher has 20 students so 300k in revenue but only gets paid 50k. Where does the other 250k go?
With all due respect I love Peter but this was not his best interview, something is off about him in this one and 80-90% drop in prices I really doubt that will ever ever happen
A 50 % correction is realistic and must happen soon. Americans cant afford homes that are 4 to 8 times their income. 2 to 3 times their income , P/E index, is the norm. We are in unrealistic territory.
Held a license for 2 decades! This is the most spot on broadcast I have seen and understood. If you haven’t already sold you could be screwed. Or have deep pockets?
No offense, I have lots of respect for Peter Schiff, but less than a year ago on another interview with Sachs Realty he saw no crash. Now he sees a crash. Well, thanks. I can see the crash now on my own, I don’t need an expert !!
This economy is completely out of control. As for us seniors, we are literally starving and can no longer afford food, clothing, nor RENT / mortgage payments, etc.. I am SO TIRED of all of this manipulation. Our country is colappsing, and all of these big wigs think they know everything. But THEY are the ones who are causing these problems. We are ALL getting sick and tired of this.. Something is going to break here. All of this talk is just bull. You people who are rich do not even care about the rest of us. I am growing very tired of all of this minipulation of our lives.

In terms of houses, well the 2008 toxic assets never got cleared, the true home prices never got set. They allowed the banks and investment firms to buy up these toxic assets and instead of slowly releasing them they hoarded them and raised the prices so they had another crisis they made again. Allowing the homes and the economy to fail would free up the country and give a real value to assets, you could build on good foundation because of that. Just get ready for the collapse now because of the greed.
I’m in real estate by profession. I seem to sell more condos than homes. In December 2023-January 2024, I saw a $40K decrease in the values of condos in South Broward County. A condo sold $55K less than another condo, in July. Condo values are now peanuts in South Broward. Would you say we are now at a more realistic price, rather than super inflated?
Condos are in a situation involving high assessment fees, and atm are a bad investment for many people. Insurance and taxes, just compile to the problem.
Can you be more specific? 3 years ago I bought 7 acres of land with an old condemned house on it for $35,000.00 I can almost double my money on it right now! I get letters and texts weekly from people wanting to buy it and to buy me out. I have 183 acres of timberland in Alabama.
@@tmo4330 Most people won't look at old houses. It takes a person with a positive outlook to take on an old homestead. Sounds like you scored big. You can sell a little bit of the timber and make a few bucks with a sawmill.
30 years to own a home. Is it really worth a few decades to have a few walls and a roof slapped together? I'd bet within ten years, constructor robots could put together something far more functional in minutes
Yes, I think you are right in that regards the future homes will be put together by robotics. I have seen videos on 3 D printing out walls of new homes. They seem very doable.
@@puggychu yep, after all, a car is a far more complex machine then a house and humanity has figured out how to create them economically. The only thing pumping up the housing Ponzi is red tape and a rapidly dwindling voter segment
LOVED THE BOOK your wrote on April 2016 called THE REAL CRASH How to save yourself and your country. It is valuable and suitable for today. Thanks Mr.Schiff.
i didn't read it, but if it says to buy gold. I caution you. what comes next is going to be a liquidity, collateral, and credit (debt) crisis all at the same time. Gold is going to get crushed along with everything else. Just my hubble opinon.
One thing that surprisingly not many people talk about is the cost of construction (labor and materials) to upkeep homes. I wonder if 20 years from now instead of prices falling on houses, we'll just see a lot of houses being abandoned, while the ones left are still sky high in value due to hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to renovate them.
avoid it if you can! it’s hard to get them out if things go south. people are so unpredictable these days. i did have some good experiences with Japanese students though. polite and considerate .
It depends. If it's family or someone else you have known a long time ,stable, goes to work everyday and honest and each party respects each other ,it can work we have been doing for the last 20 years
People used to rent out rooms all the time around the turn of the just to make ends meet. Even renters would rent a room in their apartment to another family, again, just to make ends meet. But, this was a different stock of people. Our world is different today, people have come to believe that they deserve the very best right out of the gate. I don't know if they'd be willing to sacrifice that. Also, renting a room isn't always a safe proposition especially the older you get...much more room to get taken advantage of.
@@violetnight0212 But we can thank the Boomers & GenXers for making that illegal too; just like the way they passed restrictive zoning laws to eliminate starter homes (which further fuels NIMBY-ism), subletting apartments is punishable with eviction. I am so fed up with the way old people consistently pull the ladder of opportunity up behind them, preventing anyone else from achieving the same successes they were offered.
People also use to be able to buy a home on a single blue collar income while now many two income families are renting and struggling to make ends meet. Spare me the bullshit. The standard of living was simply better before we went off the gold standard and allowed the banks to rob us. I pity the younger generations who aren't already owners.
Peter is 100% right. The key is to get ahead of all of this and be prepared to take advantage of the government and public mismanagement of everything. They will eventually be exposed, and it will be too late for most then.
Peter Schiff is a FOOL ! "You know, a lot of them are paying Social Security taxes. That's why they can't afford to buy a home. Because they're supporting some wealthy guy who's retired." - 5:35 mark of the video ---- That wealthy guy is who he thinks the problem is ? That wealth guy wasn't forced to pay the Social Security tax for decades and decades ? The problem is the wealthy guy collecting just some of the taxes he was FORCED to pay into the Government ? Wait a second...wasn't the 'Wealthy Guy' supporting someone while he was working and paying his FICA taxes ? LMAO The real problem is our BLOATED BEHEMOTH of a Government but I doubt he will tell us this that !?!?! Government Social Security, Government money printing, Government stimulus checks, Government raised or lowered interest rates....stop me when you start to see a pattern ????? I can't listen to anymore of this crap. Keep voting Republican and Democrat and wondering why things keep getting worse !!
Spenders holding dollars determine what the dollar is worth. Price is defined by supply and demand. If a product or service has no demand, it’s worth little or nothing at all. Prices cannot go up ad infinitum. There is a point even for utilities where no one can pay.

SS is still an "entitlement." Even though every worker has "earned' it, there is no guarantee. It was intended to provide financial stability to old people after they reach an age where they could no longer reasonably earn an income(think, The Great Depression, mid-1930s). It was not intended to be a "retirement program." It has now become a "retirement benefit" that the government provides.The gov. is saying that because the outflow of funds is increasing, we can expect a decrease in the benefit starting in the early 2030s.
WAKE UP, social security is now a Ponzi scheme where the pyramid is quickly becoming inverted. Today's current working population is growing at a much slower rate than the rate of the population that is collecting social security and that working population IS the group paying for Social security checks issued today. YOUR contributions were spent on the generation that retired before you along with what ever the government got their hands on. The only way to recoup what you paid in is to create the $$ difference and add it to our ever growing deficit and hand that debt down to our next generations and continue the cycle. Face it, social security will be in the red around mid 2030s which is right when I'll be at retirement age. IMO social security needs to be a real discussion that our politicians work through to make solvent, but they know that it's political suicide to address as IT WILL REQUIRE SACRIFICE by current and near term recipients to fix. The good news for you is the current leading candidates have no plans on balancing the budget or reducing government spending or the national deficit, so you should be good for the next 4 years as our debt rapidly increases for our future generations.
@@Veteran007 it is already happening. They are paying a social security benefit (for 7 years) to illegals. Expect the trust fund to run out. Beneficiaries will get 70% while inflation roars out of control.
Good luck crossing from this point in time to some point in the not to distant future with your fiat currency rapidly losing value. Cross border travel is the least of most people's problems.
See, this is what I think Peter is missing about crypto. There is a lot of intrinsic value to having the ability to do that. Then, when you get into the country you can re buy your gold and silver.
If the price of homes drops substantially, I don’t see any homeowners willing to spend a lot of money on building materials and labor cost only to sell their home later at a loss. It’s all supply and demand, home materials will go out of business is their material costs are unaffordable. Homes that have been maintained would likely be in higher demand in a market saturated with homes that haven’t.
I agree with Peter. I have thought this since we were buying homes 40-50% off previous prices in 2012. Look how the prices were inflated from there. I definitely think a 400k house at today’s prices needs to drop to $100-130k in order it to work for the banks to loan to people at a higher rate. In the early 90’s, I could buy a 3 bedroom/2 bath on 1 acre for 85-90k. The interest rate was higher but the purchase price allowed it.
Oh please with a free market like Schiff describes only big corporations would own all the homes. It’s the lack of regulation on who can buy single family homes the people would all be living in overpriced rental slums. The problem is no corporate accountability and control.
A lot of seniors during covid retired after they lost their job and chose not to go back to work so they applied for the social security check thinking that check was going to be enough for them to come live here in Florida in condos and trailer parks but they are getting a rude awakening.. with taxes insurance HOAs assessments and inflation

Even in a liquidity crisis you're only very shortly benefitted by holding cash instead of gold. Just wait a few months until the crisis is done and you'll be glad you kept the gold

@@nampmaljr9294 There is actually precedent for that as well in 2008, during the liquidity crisis gold dropped a little bit, then shot up shortly after, mitigating whatever benefit you would have gained from holding cash.
I don’t think people will get the opportunity to buy gold. Looks at the banking situation last year. 3 major banks failed and premiums skyrocketed on metals plus shipping times were extended 3-4 weeks. TBH even gold at $2450 is a great buy especially where the price will be heading

I live in Colombia. There are NO property booms and busts here, except for price rises caused by the current influx of economic refugees from the N American and European economy debacles. The main reason for the stability in the Colombian real estate market is the consistency of interest rates. When we first bought a property in Medellin 8 years ago, interest rates for first mortgages were 10% p.a. Fortunately we didn't need to borrow because property values were so reasonable. Now interest rates may be slightly higher, but still broadly similar. The effect of this interest rate consistency is that there are NO booms or busts. And in that time the Colombian Peso has appreciated against the USD by some 20%. We can only see this trend continuing given the existing economic chaos in the US. This trend is forecast to get worse.
I moved to Colombia recently from the US. When I'm visiting The US I no longer refer to myself as a local. The life I experience in Colombia far exceeds what is possible in the US for me.
@@darwel007 we feel exactly the same. Our country is New Zealand and prices there compared to Colombia are generally at least 50% higher. We haven't lived in NZ since 2011. Sailed our boat for 10 years starting in 2008 and then finally swallowed the anchor and moved to Medellin in 2018 where we had bought an apartment 2 years earlier.
Younger people do not want the huge baby boomer homes in the suburbs. They would rather rent downtown and walk everywhere. They are more interested in internet speed
Younger people are the ones that actually need the big homes to comfortably raise a family of 5-8 people. Some of us love having children and raising children well. It’s crazy how many single boomers are taking up lots of huge houses because they can’t afford to move out.
I agree with it. Perhaps it will be more. However, it remains to be seen. I still remember when I purchased a 2 be, 2 ba home on Ellingson Pl., LV NV 89106 for $ 199 K in 2007 and short sold it for $ 50 K in 2009.
A couple things…I’ve been paying into social security for 40 years. That was MY earned income, taken by government without my permission, and invested in ways I had no control over. Also, not everyone has children to take care of them when they’re older. Obviously, people need to prepare for their elder years, but when the goalposts keep moving and entities keep “losing” our money in recessions, inflation, and other unforeseen ways, it starts to look hopeless to many.
Yeah, the government took your money for 40 years. You were stolen from. Now, in order to receive social security payments, the government needs to steal from someone else. But because fewer children were born, there aren't enough someone else's to steal from to pay you what they stole from you.
Elder Care used to be a reason some people had to have children. But once they started to steal from the whole population to give to the elderly, then having children became less important. And now the world population is going to collapse.
If those "wealthy " older people, that PAID a mandatory 15% social security fee on their income, put that money into an IRA, what return would they get? Social security is NOT welfare. It's money we were forced to "I vest" with government, that had a LOW return. This was a forced savings. No different than homeownership, stocks, or IRAs, except we were forced to "invest" for 30 or 40 years. Your take on this is insulting!
I think people being forced into anything is wrong. 401k and IRA investors have made true price discovery impossible. Social Security is not going to make it past 2030 and those like me that are in their mid 50s will lose all that money.. and never see a red cent. That migh cause some civil unrest I would think. The truely scary thing of all of this is say you have a nice 401k and an IRA and are getting older and those lose over half of their value, at the same time Social Security is going into default. That mean a whole bunch of older folks are going to be in real trouble. So they will sell the only big asset they think is an asset and that is their house. That crashes the housing market and we get a total reset of everything. The decsions the Boomers made are coming home to roost. But it will not just effect them, in their golden years... which I do not think are going to be golden... but the next 3 or 4 generations that follow them. They will be looked at the gernation that was supposed to be cool (hippies to start) that ended up being the worst generation of all. Greed never ends well, and all the government spending, bail in, bail outs, and helicopter money that the boomers did ... well I think it leads us to the USA getting knocked off the king of the hill.... right on time... average in history is 100 years. So we are actually a bit over due.
Exactly !! The people that make over $ 169,600 should not be exempt from paying into the fund !! Why should they get out of it ?? If they paid in and the government left their fingers off of it ! It would be solvent, but it is not a handout like he is making it out to be !! WE PAID FOR IT !!
What a lovely house for your discussion ❤ from the UK really interesting and I am taking notes.. listening to friends with losses on Florida condos also
Interesting discussion. But we have inflated the markets far too much to ever go back to a physical backed currency such as Gold in my opinion. If the whole thing crashes the only physical currency will be food, water, and ammo
Peter is not at all biased towards GOLD and SILVER, he fears BITCOIN because it threatens his main pot of GOLD. He is wrong about Bitcoin and will not stop talking about it. He is correct about FIAT money and Realestate.
PLEASE! Let’s take things as where they come from. This warning comes from a realtor. We all know the real estate business is frozen right now. What they are DESPERATE for is SALES, so, how do they convence you to sell? By scaring you!!! This is nothing but scary tactic to stimulate their business!
I would assume both buyers and sellers are watching his videos.....In order to sell you have to have a buyer. If someone decides to panic and place their house on the market due to watching this video you still have the other ppl (buyers) who watched the video waiting for a 80-90% drop so they won't buy it.

The reason Peter might be right on this is once the negative feedback loop is established, that will be impossible to contain.. contagion. Falling value create a liquidity crisis. So there can be a long line of people willing to pay X for a house but they can not obtain the financing. This is what happens when the debt markets seize up. Homes sell well below their "real value". Once the RE bear market becomes a mainstream fact lending standards will tightening dramatically. 3, 5 or even 10% down isn't enough to protect the banks when home prices are falling. Their loan could be under-collateralized after only a few months. The other major concern for banks is that their borrowers income is often their primary asset. If the banks are worried about the job market their lending standards get even tighter. And then there is investor selling which is a separate but issue that could make supply skyrocket.

Don't be so sure. Boomers are dying off. I'm seeing homes pass down instead of being sold. Demand is dwindling. I put my 2 oldest children in my rental homes and my youngest lives with her fiance in his grandparents extra home. My daughter's cousin was given his grandfather's home. Her best friend was given her aunts extra home. Eventually, you will see more sales. My buddies Mom sold her two homes and moved in with him because they needed the money. He doesn't have any children, so that home will eventually go to strangers.

Same here. Peter said something important, nominal cost of a house can go UP denominated in dollars, but will drop 90% in terms of gold.

That's the burning question.
@@JohnJohnCrusher what kind of
Comment is that? You are such a dumb ***
The reason the government is involved in real estate is due to property taxes. It is a conflict of interest for them. If property values drop, so does their revenue.
If property values drop they can simply raise the rate and maintain the same income. They may not be reelected, but they can raise the rate to balance the budget.
They can simply increase tax %.

I finally own my one and only home. However the property taxes keep rising so much each year that the taxes are almost as much as the payment, which included insurance.
You might consider moving to a state where their ability to raise property taxes with an increase in value is limited. For example, in Michigan they can only raise the taxable value of a property by the lesser of 5% or the CPI. I think Indiana has even stricter limits.

As a beginner, remember that no one can predict the future. Approach investing with humility and focus on a short or long-term strategy with a proven edge. I'm open to suggestions on effective long-term strategies - please share your insights.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

What about private equity buying up real estate with cash that regular buyers can’t compete with. We have had Fannie Freddie for decades without this massive price run up. Private equity buying up 40% of real estate in some areas and whole neighborhoods for rentals is the real problem. Greed of Wall Street is destroying the average American. What is government doing with all the extra real estate taxes?
@ace9840 From the “Federal” Reserve of course.

Peter is right. Back in the 1960's food stamps came out. I can remember food shopping with my father and him tossing back packages of meat saying too dear. At the time, I was 12 years old and didn't know about the food stamps. When I was much older, I looked into ti and discovered that food prices became too high for my working father because the government was subsidizing non-working people so they could buy food. This raised the prices for my working father.
The real issue is not food stamps or welfare. The problem is working class people get taxed the most while hyper wealthy people pay a fraction of their share while rigging the system to keep wages low. And then they trick us into believing that the lowest class on food stamps is the problem. Classic bait and switch but most people fall for it and get pissed off at food stamps while the ultra rich hoard all the wealth through shady schemes
Ur father taught you wrong like so many have. Corporations raised their prices purposely to pull more money out of the pockets of citizens, cuz they can and u and ur father allowed the corporations to do so by blaming government. Take an economic class.

As a professional in the industry, I have observed a significant increase in home price reductions over the past 6 to 8 weeks. Previously, I received one or two notices a week, but this has surged to several notifications daily. Additionally, there has been a marked rise in the number of homes on the market. The local real estate map for the valley area now shows a predominance of "for sale" flags that completely cover the map. There is a notable shift in market dynamics.
Price reduction by how much? One -2 percent? That is not a reduction!

In terms of houses, well the 2008 toxic assets never got cleared, the true home prices never got set. They allowed the banks and investment firms to buy up these toxic assets and instead of slowly releasing them they hoarded them and raised the prices so they had another crisis they made again. Allowing the homes and the economy to fail would free up the country and give a real value to assets, you could build on good foundation because of that. Just get ready for the collapse now because of the greed.
I’m in real estate by profession. I seem to sell more condos than homes. In December 2023-January 2024, I saw a $40K decrease in the values of condos in South Broward County.

@@razorbeak7295 Um, I think you could have just stopped with Boomers...no need to lump Gen X in with their shenanigans.
@violetnight0212 most property management will charge you a higher monthly rent if you add an adult to the lease. Completely lame.

People also use to be able to buy a home on a single blue collar income while now many two income families are renting and struggling to make ends meet. Spare me the bullshit. The standard of living was simply better before we went off the gold standard and allowed the banks to rob us. I pity the younger generations who aren't already owners.
Peter is 100% right. The key is to get ahead of all of this and be prepared to take advantage of the government and public mismanagement of everything. They will eventually be exposed, and it will be too late for most then.

"You know, a lot of them are paying Social Security taxes. That's why they can't afford to buy a home. Because they're supporting some wealthy guy who's retired." - 5:35 mark of the video
---- That wealthy guy is who he thinks the problem is ? That wealth guy wasn't forced to pay the Social Security tax for decades and decades ? The problem is the wealthy guy collecting just some of the taxes he was FORCED to pay into the Government ? Wait a second...wasn't the 'Wealthy Guy' supporting someone while he was working and paying his FICA taxes ? LMAO The real problem is our BLOATED BEHEMOTH of a Government but I doubt he will tell us this that !?!?!

Good review thank you
House prices have not gone up! The purchasing power of your money is going down 😡
I think it’s both 😊
Spenders holding dollars determine what the dollar is worth. Price is defined by supply and demand. If a product or service has no demand, it’s worth little or nothing at all. Prices cannot go up ad infinitum. There is a point even for utilities where no one can pay.
@@Daoistify Not when govt is constantly manipulating markets. If the markets were actually Free there wouldn't be such severe swings in value. Or the need for periodic stimulus/ QE
Spend your life predicting crashes and you miss the majority of opportunities. Being prepared is one thing, always expecting is another.

I have a two bedroom house… took a couple extra rooms and a greenhouse wing and make an efficiency apartment on the side with my own hands. Now we have a place to live and grow our gardens and an income to pay the property expenses.
It doesn't matter if prices drop, the interest on the credit is outrageous and will continue.
The fact that the government and banks have a hand into every little thing the citizens do. That's when you know the government is way too BIG!
Social Security is earned; it's not a benefit. Woe unto the party that dares try to mess with it.
non-working spouses who get 50% of their spouses benefits and minor children didn't earn a darn thing. It should be for only those who contribute.
SS is still an "entitlement." Even though every worker has "earned' it, there is no guarantee. It was intended to provide financial stability to old people after they reach an age where they could no longer reasonably earn an income(think, The Great Depression, mid-1930s). It was not intended to be a "retirement program."
It has now become a "retirement benefit" that the government provides.The gov. is saying that because the outflow of funds is increasing, we can expect a decrease in the benefit starting in the early 2030s.
WAKE UP, social security is now a Ponzi scheme where the pyramid is quickly becoming inverted. Today's current working population is growing at a much slower rate than the rate of the population that is collecting social security and that working population IS the group paying for Social security checks issued today. YOUR contributions were spent on the generation that retired before you along with what ever the government got their hands on. The only way to recoup what you paid in is to create the $$ difference and add it to our ever growing deficit and hand that debt down to our next generations and continue the cycle. Face it, social security will be in the red around mid 2030s which is right when I'll be at retirement age. IMO social security needs to be a real discussion that our politicians work through to make solvent, but they know that it's political suicide to address as IT WILL REQUIRE SACRIFICE by current and near term recipients to fix. The good news for you is the current leading candidates have no plans on balancing the budget or reducing government spending or the national deficit, so you should be good for the next 4 years as our debt rapidly increases for our future generations.
SS is theft. It's an unsustainable program that cannot work in a fiat based monetary system. They sold you a lie.
@@Veteran007 it is already happening. They are paying a social security benefit (for 7 years) to illegals.
Expect the trust fund to run out. Beneficiaries will get 70% while inflation roars out of control.
Good luck crossing international borders with 10kg of gold in your suitcase.
That why you need coins. As a metal they can be concealed in many metal places on a vehicle.

Good luck crossing from this point in time to some point in the not to distant future with your fiat currency rapidly losing value. Cross border travel is the least of most people's problems.
See, this is what I think Peter is missing about crypto. There is a lot of intrinsic value to having the ability to do that. Then, when you get into the country you can re buy your gold and silver.
If the price of homes drops substantially, I don’t see any homeowners willing to spend a lot of money on building materials and labor cost only to sell their home later at a loss. It’s all supply and demand, home materials will go out of business is their material costs are unaffordable. Homes that have been maintained would likely be in higher demand in a market saturated with homes that haven’t.
this is my 1st time subscribing to your UA-cam Mr. Sachs
I agree with Peter. I have thought this since we were buying homes 40-50% off previous prices in 2012.
Look how the prices were inflated from there. I definitely think a 400k house at today’s prices needs to drop to $100-130k in order it to work for the banks to loan to people at a higher rate.
In the early 90’s, I could buy a 3 bedroom/2 bath on 1 acre for 85-90k. The interest rate was higher but the purchase price allowed it.
I agree with you, 100%.
I remember those common sense days.
Sigh...if only
In complete agreement!
Singapore and high-density populations. Common to rent out rooms in the family home.
Oh please with a free market like Schiff describes only big corporations would own all the homes. It’s the lack of regulation on who can buy single family homes the people would all be living in overpriced rental slums. The problem is no corporate accountability and control.
A wonderful discussion; thanks
A lot of seniors during covid retired after they lost their job and chose not to go back to work so they applied for the social security check thinking that check was going to be enough for them to come live here in Florida in condos and trailer parks but they are getting a rude awakening.. with taxes insurance HOAs assessments and inflation
Hello out there from Las Vegas NV area great show today!
They sure inflated value when all governments are doing their assessments for the new years taxes!
Peter said something important: the nominal cost of a house can go UP denominated in dollars, but will drop 90% in terms of gold. My big concern today is a dollar liquidity crisis, if that happens gold will sell off, that is the moment to convert dollars to gold. What's the probability of a liquidity crisis? That's the burning question.
Even in a liquidity crisis you're only very shortly benefitted by holding cash instead of gold. Just wait a few months until the crisis is done and you'll be glad you kept the gold
@caryphillips4885 I get what your saying. I just sold a home, and I'm agonizing over what to do (reinvest or pay tax and take the cash). Thanks for responding!
@@nampmaljr9294 I'd say, worrying about timing is usually a lost cause. You could get lucky or miss the mark. Which would you rather have kept 10, 20 years from now?
@@nampmaljr9294 There is actually precedent for that as well in 2008, during the liquidity crisis gold dropped a little bit, then shot up shortly after, mitigating whatever benefit you would have gained from holding cash.
I don’t think people will get the opportunity to buy gold. Looks at the banking situation last year. 3 major banks failed and premiums skyrocketed on metals plus shipping times were extended 3-4 weeks. TBH even gold at $2450 is a great buy especially where the price will be heading

I live in Colombia. There are NO property booms and busts here, except for price rises caused by the current influx of economic refugees from the N American and European economy debacles.
The main reason for the stability in the Colombian real estate market is the consistency of interest rates. When we first bought a property in Medellin 8 years ago, interest rates for first mortgages were 10% p.a. Fortunately we didn't need to borrow because property values were so reasonable. Now interest rates may be slightly higher, but still broadly similar.
The effect of this interest rate consistency is that there are NO booms or busts.
And in that time the Colombian Peso has appreciated against the USD by some 20%. We can only see this trend continuing given the existing economic chaos in the US. This trend is forecast to get worse.
I moved to Colombia recently from the US. When I'm visiting The US I no longer refer to myself as a local. The life I experience in Colombia far exceeds what is possible in the US for me.
Legit question, what are the gun rights like in Colombia? Can I carry?
@@darwel007 we feel exactly the same. Our country is New Zealand and prices there compared to Colombia are generally at least 50% higher. We haven't lived in NZ since 2011. Sailed our boat for 10 years starting in 2008 and then finally swallowed the anchor and moved to Medellin in 2018 where we had bought an apartment 2 years earlier.
Question. Do you have to pick your city carefully to avoid crimes in Colombia? I always worry about that in Latin America.
No more than many other places in the world - and Colombia is often much better......@@frankyhonnolus5528
Younger people do not want the huge baby boomer homes in the suburbs. They would rather rent downtown and walk everywhere. They are more interested in internet speed
Younger people are the ones that actually need the big homes to comfortably raise a family of 5-8 people. Some of us love having children and raising children well. It’s crazy how many single boomers are taking up lots of huge houses because they can’t afford to move out.
I know families that house share. Several siblings and kids as well as their mother share a large house using an llc.

Really enjoyed the chat with Peter. From my rural stronghold in New Zealand.
Are you out of lockdown yet?
A couple things…I’ve been paying into social security for 40 years. That was MY earned income, taken by government without my permission, and invested in ways I had no control over. Also, not everyone has children to take care of them when they’re older. Obviously, people need to prepare for their elder years, but when the goalposts keep moving and entities keep “losing” our money in recessions, inflation, and other unforeseen ways, it starts to look hopeless to many.
Yeah, the government took your money for 40 years. You were stolen from. Now, in order to receive social security payments, the government needs to steal from someone else. But because fewer children were born, there aren't enough someone else's to steal from to pay you what they stole from you.
Elder Care used to be a reason some people had to have children. But once they started to steal from the whole population to give to the elderly, then having children became less important. And now the world population is going to collapse.
If those "wealthy " older people, that PAID a mandatory 15% social security fee on their income, put that money into an IRA, what return would they get? Social security is NOT welfare. It's money we were forced to "I vest" with government, that had a LOW return. This was a forced savings. No different than homeownership, stocks, or IRAs, except we were forced to "invest" for 30 or 40 years. Your take on this is insulting!
I think people being forced into anything is wrong. 401k and IRA investors have made true price discovery impossible. Social Security is not going to make it past 2030 and those like me that are in their mid 50s will lose all that money.. and never see a red cent. That migh cause some civil unrest I would think. The truely scary thing of all of this is say you have a nice 401k and an IRA and are getting older and those lose over half of their value, at the same time Social Security is going into default. That mean a whole bunch of older folks are going to be in real trouble. So they will sell the only big asset they think is an asset and that is their house. That crashes the housing market and we get a total reset of everything. The decsions the Boomers made are coming home to roost. But it will not just effect them, in their golden years... which I do not think are going to be golden... but the next 3 or 4 generations that follow them. They will be looked at the gernation that was supposed to be cool (hippies to start) that ended up being the worst generation of all. Greed never ends well, and all the government spending, bail in, bail outs, and helicopter money that the boomers did ... well I think it leads us to the USA getting knocked off the king of the hill.... right on time... average in history is 100 years. So we are actually a bit over due.
Exactly !! The people that make over $ 169,600 should not be exempt from paying into the fund !! Why should they get out of it ?? If they paid in and the government left their fingers off of it ! It would be solvent, but it is not a handout like he is making it out to be !! WE PAID FOR IT !!
Peter blames the government for all the problems with the house market. The corporations have no responsibility for this mess.
Good try
What a lovely house for your discussion ❤ from the UK really interesting and I am taking notes.. listening to friends with losses on Florida condos also
Interesting discussion. But we have inflated the markets far too much to ever go back to a physical backed currency such as Gold in my opinion. If the whole thing crashes the only physical currency will be food, water, and ammo
He always wears blue. Wearing blue people are more likely to believe what you have to say
Peter is not at all biased towards GOLD and SILVER, he fears BITCOIN because it threatens his main pot of GOLD. He is wrong about Bitcoin and will not stop talking about it. He is correct about FIAT money and Realestate.

This program is about rich people with money... Middle class need not apply.
PLEASE! Let’s take things as where they come from. This warning comes from a realtor. We all know the real estate business is frozen right now. What they are DESPERATE for is SALES, so, how do they convence you to sell? By scaring you!!! This is nothing but scary tactic to stimulate their business!
I would assume both buyers and sellers are watching his videos.....In order to sell you have to have a buyer. If someone decides to panic and place their house on the market due to watching this video you still have the other ppl (buyers) who watched the video waiting for a 80-90% drop so they won't buy it. We end up with the same frozen market we started with.

I really like that silver tree branch table Peter has. Very nice and unique furniture peice. Where did he get it?! And where can I find one?
What the hell are you talking about?
Gov contracts and grants. Basically distributed within a select group not the low income workers
The reason Peter might be right on this is once the negative feedback loop is established, that will be impossible to contain.. contagion. Falling value create a liquidity crisis. So there can be a long line of people willing to pay X for a house but they can not obtain the financing. This is what happens when the debt markets seize up. Homes sell well below their "real value". Once the RE bear market becomes a mainstream fact lending standards will tightening dramatically. 3, 5 or even 10% down isn't enough to protect the banks when home prices are falling. Their loan could be under-collateralized after only a few months. The other major concern for banks is that their borrowers income is often their primary asset. If the banks are worried about the job market their lending standards get even tighter. And then there is investor selling which is a separate but issue that could make supply skyrocket.

Wow
not a chance will housing get this kind of correction
My grandparents told me about the Great Depression; you couldn’t give property away then. Nobody could even afford to pay property taxes.
Don't be so sure. Boomers are dying off. I'm seeing homes pass down instead of being sold. Demand is dwindling. I put my 2 oldest children in my rental homes and my youngest lives with her fiance in his grandparents extra home. My daughter's cousin was given his grandfather's home. Her best friend was given her aunts extra home.
Eventually, you will see more sales. My buddies Mom sold her two homes and moved in with him because they needed the money. He doesn't have any children, so that home will eventually go to strangers.
WRONG.
