The Trenton housing market is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quite mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
This is precisely why I like having an asset manager look over my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a manager for more than two years, and I've made over 85% of my initial amount/

Loved the first house, it has that old charm and with some renovations it has so much potential. I get that location wise it may not be the best move but I would pick this one over a suburban neighbourhood any day.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I like the first condo the most, it's playful and cozy with all little spaces and such. The third is a bit weird, like it too, and leaves you enough to renovate.
@@PathwaysOfZen I live in Las Vegas and because of all the forest fires and floods in california . My home owners insurance in nevada when up!. Home owners insurance companies are also leaving california and raising home owners insurance. I would hate to see how much people in california are seeing their rates go up. I was able to dump on home owners insurance company and go with one way cheaper. I don't think people in california can do that with companies leaving the state.
@@RMS12.2 to 1000? you must not be looking in the right places, I've seen over 2500 a month HOA for a studio - I didn't dare look up 3 bedroom HOA there
I'm home shopping for myself in LA and there are actually SFH's for 750k if you are willing to live in the SFV valley , Santa Clarita or far out like Glendora etc ... its still considered Los Angeles County but not walkable/more suburban
First condo looks like it has good natural light. When a house is painted with lighter colors it gives the rooms appear that it has more light vs darker colors.
I’ve been in the building of no. 1. I would vote that unit for a 2 year stay and move on. Location in Hollywood is prime and will always be desired. Idk if that really matches with you though, just thinking investment wise for your first LA purchase.
My fiance and I bought a fixer upper in the last townhouse's area (I know exactly which unit this is for sale), so we have pretty much the exact same layout. We aren't flippers, just normal people slowly making this place our own. The previous owner made some small changes in 2009, but otherwise untouched since it was built in 1974. It has been CHALLENGING since we didn't buy it with a reno budget to make changes right away. It was definitely interesting listening to your comments about it as it's pretty much the same as my own home! I'm actually jealous that that owner kept so much wood intact. Our previous owner did the landlord special and slapped bad white paint over all of it, but we have been stripping/sanding to bring the 1970s midcentury charm back.
Shelby, I loved your reaction to the built in vacuum. Im so glad you didn't go for the place that was north facing. You and the sun are best buddies!!!
Shelby, the 1st Condo was perfect for lighting, high celings, added loft, storage, and views! The 2nd Townhome had excellent lighting with the 2 car garage & pool! Ask Jamie if she knew about Feng Shui, when showing you places? Still I do love home tours! Onward to the next one. 🏖⛵️🏡
Hey Shelby, I went to high school with you! I don't think we ever talked but i found your channel and thought it was cool to see someone I went to school with is a successful UA-camr! Best of luck to you and great content~
1st condo one is a steal but neighborhood has to be one that you could make your community. Coffee shops, small restaurants and businesses make a huge difference.
I brought when prices and interest rate were both down, it can happen. More likely interest rate goes down and prices stay the same so payment will be lower. fixer upper means lower property taxes even after the renovation if you don't add bathrooms or bedrooms. you could add a hot tub in the backyard if buying a single family home.
What are the HOA dues for these units? Do the buildings have reserves? So many potential issues with condo ownership, but sadly that’s all that’s (somewhat) affordable in LA.
OMG first condo looked amazing! But I believe you will not go for that one as you already showed us the location and basically the building lol. Can’t wait to see the one you selected!!
I loved that first house! I totally could see myself living there lol. Sunny with a California feel to it. I loved the doors. I even loved the kitchen countertop. And the price seemed pretty good.
I'd keep looking. Try Culver City. If you do go with one of these, I'd choose 2. If you're dead-set on buying in the urban Los Angeles area, secured private parking where you control entry is critical.
Awesome video. I noticed however, that you said you were trying to avoid getting into the valley. Let me say- I totally understand why that’s become a common sentiment among people who move to LA. I was born and raised in LA and while I was in the valley originally, I’ve been all over and I finally decided to settle at a condo in Studio City. One major reason is the SUSHI among other things (e.g. adjacency to Hollywood/WEHO just over the hill). We have the highest concentration of sushi restaurants than anywhere in LA on Ventura Blvd. It would be amazing if you would consider visiting Studio City in some of your future videos.
Since you're buying strictly for a short-term investment, I would recommend getting a single family home. These properties are appreciating faster than multi-family dwellings, which is what almost all the new construction in California is. Especially now with the new zoning laws that allow investors to come into single-family neighborhoods and put up to 10 units on a single-family lot. So single-family homes are actually disappearing. I followed my own advice and sold my upscale townhome in 2015 and bought a less expensive single family home in a less fancy, but up and coming area. Now my single family home has doubled in value and is worth as much or more than my old townhome. Plus, I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars a month on an HOA.
Your realtor doesn’t seem to know much about homes. She kinda just agrees with whatever you say. I would find someone older and more familiar with the different housing areas and homes. Great video!
I don't think you can reasonably make that assessment from a fairly short and heavily edited video. For one, I think Shelby probably understands that viewers are most interested in her personal perspective on the homes, so she's gonna edit it to include more of her own comments and opinions.
You’re not seeing the entire conversation. Shelby herself said her realtor was great so I don’t doubt that she knows about homes, condos, and townhomes.
HOA's, taxes, earthquake and wildfire inurance on top of the regular insurance. Basically equal to a second mortgage payment. That 3rd listing had the same kitchen/dining/living room set up as my friends detached single home in La Jolla. They bought a fixer upper on a beautiful hillside lot. They remodeled the inside to a gorgeous standard. Looking forward to what home you'll eventually pick.
Interesting choices ...what of the HOA and rules on renovation? The one problem I have with Condo/Townhomes is the HOA is so high it sometimes doubles your mortgage. Also, such a limited area to search I am surprised you found 3.
the first house is really nice, you could add bedroom or something in that loft space above the living room by extending it and add a good amount to the home's value
Very interesting video. Brings back memories to 1996 when we were in process of finding and buying home in the San Francisco Bay Area. We started out looking in an area 10 miles from San Francisco. Based on home prices, we needed to confine home search to condos and town houses. During our tour of properties we soon discovered a down side of attached housing. We would be touring a property and hear music, foot steps, talking, televisions, etc. from attached units. We 0:02 considered ourself lucky in that we became aware of this issue. We ended up moving our search 10 miles further out and were able to buy a detached house. Noticed during your video you would see a washer and dryer and would comment that it was nice unit came with washer and dryer. During the time we bought our house, we were made aware that unless otherwise stated, the refrigerator, washer and dryer did not stay with the house. You might check with your agent and confirm that this is still the case. Great job on your video. Look forward to seeing you tour more properties!
I am loving that you are taking us along for the tours! ❤ The first one really captured my heart. The views, lighting and layout are amazing and the price point has room to update it to become spectacular. I can appreciate a good fixer-upper, but the third one would be a big no for me too. You can't improve the terrible lighting, small outdated windows, and poor views with new surfaces. It also felt far too expensive for what it is compared to the first two.
What people don't understand is when the interest rate comes down there will be more inventory. So houses prices won't be as high as now. People need to have patience and wait other year to buy.
@ShelbyChurch I understand what you are saying and it's like gambling. You just never know. Great video and information. Hopefully you will find something soon.
One thing that wasn’t mentioned is that #1 probably was priced to be a “hot home” that probably involved a bidding war. That happens a lot in LA. I sold my condo recently in Pasadena after getting multiple offers. I then purchased a new place and luckily my offer was accepted right away bc it was the only one and when we were under contract someone came along trying to offer more! I dodged the bidding war but it can get really frustrating from what I’ve heard
It's incredible. I'm moving to GA and looking for a comfy house with an open floorplan and a huge kitchen with a lot of counter space, and yet, every house I see has NO counter space. And yet here in that townhouse (the 2nd property), the counter space is a dream. Wow!
hmm. condo's and townhouses don't really appreciate much from my experience. I think it's much more worth it to find a house that's in the same price range, even if it's further from the city. not to mention renovations are trickier with condo's and townhouses because of hoa
#2 in West LA is great if you can get it for 1.1 million. You are most likely to make more money from this property than the first or last. The outdoor space is great and it looks like people have pride of ownership.
You're right about buying now. Part of the issue with the scarcity of homes for sale is people unwilling to leave their 3% loans to take on a 7.5% loan. You can always refinance if/when interest rates go down.
Shelby, I loved the font you used in this video. More readable than any others you’ve used for a long time. I hope you make it a favorite going forward. I don’t know if your editing program gives you this option, but in general on white lettering, if you could increase the dark outline or as a dark shadow behind the words, it would be even better. We watch UA-cam on our TV and it’s always really difficult to read white letters on light backgrounds. (On anyone’s videos, not just yours.)
Happy Birthday Shelby. I wish everyone the best of birthday's and also, I believe that no matter what age we turn in 2024 that everyone should celebrate it in any way that they can and do it the best that they want to with friends and family. It should be celebrated in an awesome way.
It's Reno Shelby time! Wonderful. show us what you can do girl. And of course, its money-making time. It's time for Shelby to show us some of her magic. Love it all.
my bf and i just bought our first townhome in laguna. we were sad to leave LA (culver) but just couldn’t find anything within our budget after 2 years looking! thanks for this tour ❤
I loved the first condo. But I liked the one with the garage better. I find that safer for a woman and safer for a car. I absolutely love California. And I wish you the best of luck on your search for a home.
No love for walkable Silver Lake and Los Feliz? Much cooler than West side, in my humble opinion… great restaurants, great hiking, the Greek Theatre close by, and a more authentic vibe all around…. But I understand we all have different views…
12:08 Layout is similar to another vlogger’s fixer townhouse. Interesting layout - not common nowadays but probably was during that time. That vlogger did a really great job on that fixer, IMO.
I liked the large space of the last one, the garage and storage, but not a fan of the split level kitchen living room . I had to pull up an LA map to see the areas (I have relatives in Glendale) its find to see what you get, where.
Ugh, yes that last one would have been perfect for you if it had been south facing. You can remodel just about anything, but you can’t change the light orientation. Hopefully something else will pop up in that complex. 🤞
You can easily spend $50k on renovations which is the difference between the first and second examples and would make your house payment just a few more $.
11:00 Those sliding glass doors are fogged up (seals broken) and affecting the light coming in. I cannot wrap my head around a 1 million dollar fixer upper. wow I'm quite thankful for the real estate market in my area. lol
@@Socman86 ahh, i understand completely..lol. I'm originally from Newport RI...I do Vlogs Daily here in Gatlinburg..Come say hi..When were you last here for a visit?
Silverlake girl here. Take note that all these condos have HOAs north of $600 a month. Good luck Shelby. I see you in the west side. I think you’ll ultimately be bored in WeHo.

Each house has such great potential. Curious to see what you would have done with that last house. The right home is out there for you!
I love the 2nd home. So cozy.
Loved the second home.
First house for me! That to me has potential if it’s renovated
Hmm, how much are the HOA fees for each? Sometimes they can be surprisingly high.
The second one is my dream house
No love for walkable Silver Lake and Los Feliz? Much cooler than West side, in my humble opinion… great restaurants, great hiking, the Greek Theatre close by, and a more authentic vibe all around…. But I understand we all have different views…
Nothing much available.
Yes. We do all have different views, which is why each part of the city is different.
12:08 Layout is similar to another vlogger’s fixer townhouse. Interesting layout - not common nowadays but probably was during that time. That vlogger did a really great job on that fixer, IMO.
I liked the large space of the last one, the garage and storage, but not a fan of the split level kitchen living room . I had to pull up an LA map to see the areas (I have relatives in Glendale) its find to see what you get, where.
I liked the first one a lottt
The 2nd one was great!! Good luck!!
One of the few places in the country where prices are still up . Very surprising, good luck.
#3 is a bad deal bc only 245k less than #2 it'd take 150k in reno and still have low ceilings and a bad layout and light.
the first town house its AMAZING
Ugh, yes that last one would have been perfect for you if it had been south facing. You can remodel just about anything, but you can’t change the light orientation. Hopefully something else will pop up in that complex. 🤞
You can easily spend $50k on renovations which is the difference between the first and second examples and would make your house payment just a few more $.
The first condo was amazing!!
LA is a possible destination for me. If I make it into grad school in LA, it's likely I might stay. Love seeing these real estate videos.
that coo but you should be mad shes making million dollar homes into like 1.5 + ones lol
Good luck house hunting - you will find the right one😊
11:00 Those sliding glass doors are fogged up (seals broken) and affecting the light coming in. I cannot wrap my head around a 1 million dollar fixer upper. wow I'm quite thankful for the real estate market in my area. lol

Silverlake girl here. Take note that all these condos have HOAs north of $600 a month. Good luck Shelby. I see you in the west side. I think you’ll ultimately be bored in WeHo.
1.3 by a freeway. No bueno.
That third house definitely has some stories! 😅 Thanks for sharing, enjoyed this!
