I’m a single dad, I moved to the Bay Area a few years ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction? I heard Nvidia and AMD are strong buys.
Certain Ai companies are rumoured to be overvalued and might cause a market correction, I’d suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I.
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!
You're right. I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets with the aid of an investment coach, and I was able to use high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and bonds to generate a little over $830K in net profit.
Would you mind providing details on the advisor who helped you? saving for a pension through a corporate program since the age of 18. I hit greater tax along the road, so I increased my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits). I'm now 50 and would love to expand my finances more aggressively; there are a few automobiles I still want to drive and a few mega-vacations that I still want to take.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Annette Marie Holt for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I lost my dad about six months ago and I'm going to receive some money soon. Would it be wise to grow my money in stocks for a few years while I'm in college and then invest in rental properties afterwards, or should I start with real estate investing first?
I suggest consulting with an experienced financial professional. It might seem pricey, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." My belief is that "Expert solutions require expert providers."
Reason I decided to work closely with an brokerage advisor ever since the market got really tensed and the pressure became so much(I should be retiring in 17months) so I've had an brokerage advisor guide me through the chaos, its been 9months and counting and I've made approx. 750K net from all of my holdings.
This is definitely worth considering! Do you have any recommendations for professionals or advisors I could speak with? I really need help with proper portfolio allocation.

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide 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 portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I'm in Michigan, and the housing market here over the past 7-8 years has been unprecedented. Houses that were purchased for $130K in 2015 are now going for $590K. These are tiny, poorly constructed 950-square-foot homes in quiet, mediocre neighborhoods. Meanwhile, nicer, average-sized homes in better neighborhoods that were over $300K a decade ago are now selling for $750K+. It's wild.
A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.
@@maryHenokNftbravo! I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
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.
I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

It would be like asking an alcoholic if they believe you should have a drink to ask a real estate professional if you should purchase a house now. In my neighbourhood, properties that sold for about $450k in 2019 are currently selling for between $800 and $950k. Right now, every seller in my neighbourhood is bringing in $350,000. Just unbelievable. To be honest, what we need is deflation. Going bankrupt would be the only other alternative, and that would be detrimental to the economy as well. There's no other way to get back to normal.
My plans to work part-time, prepare for the future, and retire at 62 have been disrupted by the rising costs. Maybe people who survived the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I do right now, and that worries me. The unstable stock market coupled with a drop in income has me worried about having enough money saved for retirement.
For this exact reason, I prefer to have a portfolio coach help me make daily decisions about the markets. Their vast experience of simultaneously going long and short, taking advantage of risk for its asymmetrical upside, and selling it as a hedge against inevitable downward turns means that they almost never underperform. Over the past two years, I have made over $800,000 with the help of a portfolio coach.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.
I completely disagree with her. There are no houses for sale because homeowners do not want to trade a 2.75% mortgage for a 7% mortgage so they are staying put
The problem with selling your house is, where are you going to live? I think too many people got obsessed with the idea of making a huge profit from the sale... but then they still have to find a place to move to. This is why I wont sell my house. I have no reason to move, and if i did i'd have to find another house. I dont have a super low interest rate either. But im staying!!
When you have a sizable savings, good credit, and been on your job for two year’s or more that pays enough to afford a mortgage, is the right time to buy. Has nothing to do with the market.
the house my parents bought in 1960 was $17,500.00. my Mom did not work and my Dad drove a laundry truck. we moved in 1972 and it was $57,000. that house is $1,500,0000 now. houses down the street in a nicer 1960 neighborhood are $1,800,000. my 35 year old neice and her husband make over $200,000 a year, they are still renting.
200k a year now isn't a whole lot. It's honestly the equivolent of making 80k a year 10 years ago. You can get by...rent..maybe own an OK car..go on a nice vacation once a year..that's about it.

I just sold my home privately. It was too easy. So I saved all that commission. And I haven't bought or sold a home in almost 21 years, so I didn't even know what I was doing, lol. All I did, was make one, little comment out on our community FB group....a group with only 30 people in it. Within 3 months, I had 3 parties contact me wishing to look at my house. I sold it to the first interested party. They are living in it now. The buyers actually helped me with the process because they knew what they were doing, lol. I was lucky I found good, honest people to deal with. They are living in my old house right now, and I am waiting to take possession of my next one next month.
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.

I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too

You’re not going to be happy. Home prices wont be dropping anytime soon. 2008 was the result of Chinese money that was momentarily injected into the market combined with the Bush administration continuing the Clinton policy of compelling FANNI MAE to require the inclusion of high-risk loans in order to put an end to red-lining. Good intentions, horrible results.
@@domcizek That is the conventional wisdom and what Barbara suggests. However, when rates come down, how many home owner's with a mortgage at 2% to 4% will be more willing to list (resale market)? At 5% on the 30 year, will some % of people with mortgages list and will those listings put more downward pressure on prices than any new demand from the lower rates? People with 2% to 4% rates now are holding on even if they want to sale because the asset is not the home but the low rate, and for most, that asset, the low rate mortgage, is not transferrable to another house. That's the only thing I'd challenge Barbara on from that segment. She's spot on with the rest of what she is claiming.
If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals .

Housing prices are unlikely to significantly decrease until there's a substantial increase in housing supply. In the USA , there's a shortage of millions of housing units, and construction isn't keeping pace. The constant demand for housing, coupled with population growth, means that even a slight price drop attracts numerous buyers who quickly absorb the available supply. I'm considering purchasing affordable houses in 2024 and possibly venturing into stock investments. When is the best time to enter the stock market? Some people say it is profitable , but others say it's risky. Any advice?
Consider investing in stocks especially during a recession . While recessions can be tough, they can also offer good chances to buy low and sell high in the markets if you're cautious. Just remember, this is not financial advice, but it's a good time to think about buying stocks since having cash on hand isn't always the best option.
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.

Barbara is a realtor and she is in housing business she will never say home prices will fall down even it will happen tomorrow, all realtors say the same thing ; prices will go through the roof but we need to ask middle glances and families if they are willing to pay these high prices ?

When you have a sizable savings, good credit, and been on your job for two year’s or more that pays enough to afford a mortgage, is the right time to buy. Has nothing to do with the market.
My house is afordable because I bought it years ago. But if I had to buy it now, no way could I afford it. So I am staying in it like many others. Basically the people who did not buy years ago are screwed. I remember in 2008 they could not give homes away.
Same here. I'm not sure where you're from, but in NJ, my house, while it's worth more with a 2.75% mortgage, my taxes, bills are so far through the roof, I can't afford my house anymore. I need $30,000 just to cover Taxes, insurances, basic bills, fuel.. it's sickening.

I can't wait to get out!
As we go through property tax assessments, current homeowners will get significant tax increases based on their estimated home value. High property taxes will force people to move out of their towns (already happening in Chicago), thus more homes will be available helping to correct the house market.
So people are complaining about food prices and not affording them. But out of left field everyone is goona have tons of extra money for house's. Not seeing the connection.

A Financial Planner told me Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. How can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings overtime?

Housing is unaffordable for 90% of Americans. Median price of a home in 2010 was $168,000. Now the median price is $418,000. This means an average of 18% appreciation since 2010. Wages have not gone up 18%. Working class people are lucky to get a 3% raise. The whole real estate industry is corrupt.
Property tax system is broken, explain why if you’re living in a home that you paid 300k for and you sell and buy one for 500k your taxes jump dramatically. Your impact on local services didn’t change your family is still the same size, same amount of kids going to school. It’s absurd that you pay more just because your house cost more no other reason.
@@glennwatson3313 The real questions are where is the tax money going and for what. It is way past time for more than 1% of people to get involved, going to meetings and getting all the information.
Houses are not selling in my area as fast as they did a couple years ago! Basically, the high interest rates and Biden’s wonderful economy has caused a freeze in selling homes here in Houston area!
The number of homes selling has been down 40% compared to 2021. However, prices in California have appreciated by 7% in 2023. What we are seeing nationwide is that for new construction to sell, they are having to "Buy Down" rates into the 5.75 range to move homes. Many are predicting by the 3rd quarter of 2023, rates will be down to 5.5%. If that happens, prices are set to increase. The big challenge is that no one wants to give up a 3% loan to buy another home, so this accounts for the lack of inventory. 3 of the last 4 homes I sold, were cash sales. So, people are borrowing against stocks to buy properties. This is a hardship for first time Buyers. Yes, the present admin is not good for business or the public. If DT is elected again, he's got a lot on his plate & not sure real estate will be his first priority.
@@AS-gf5jn Agree. That's the hard fact about living California. I had a client call me last week about selling their home, it would of sold for about 2 million. However, I sold them their home 20 years ago & they did a refi when rates were 2.75. I advised them not to sell. In the past year alone, their home has appreciated over $100,000. While California is indeed expensive, there are many excellent things about it--apart from the weather-- that is difficult to duplicate. So, if someone wants to move to another area, I suggest they rent their home out for a year & live in another location before selling.

When you have a sizable savings, good credit, and been on your job for two year’s or more that pays enough to afford a mortgage, is the right time to buy. Has nothing to do with the market.

In light of the current economic trends indicating a potential downturn in the stock market and an impending recession, coupled with falling inflation rates, investors are advised to consider diversifying their portfolios. Exploring alternative assets such as gold and crypto trading would be a strategic move to hedge against the expected market volatility and inflationary pressures. This approach is crucial in navigating the complex financial landscape shaped by fluctuating Federal Reserve policies and the broader economic climate........Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Kerrie Farrell can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments has been the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends...managed to grow a nest egg of around 4 b,tc to a decent 21 b,tc in the space of a few months...
I pretty much agree with everything she discussed. Bought my first house in 1972 in CO. Had a first mortgage at 8% and thought that was a bargain. Sold that house 12 years later and made almost double what I paid for it. Then bought a condo on the beach in Huntington Beach. Had a first on it at just over 12% and knew it was a bargain. Sold it in 2001 to move to Florida and made almost 3 times what I paid for it. And it only gets better. Got out of the market in 06 and rented for 2 years, saw the crash coming, bought the house were in in 09 and it's worth more than double what we paid for it. Reified in 21 and locked in a 2% loan for 15 years, pulled a bunch of equity and using it for part of our retirement income. POINT IS , RE is a no risk trade at any price, as long as you don't buy more than you can comfortably afford to keep up and maintain to stay in the trade. Forget about rates. Doesn't matter. History proves that. Market prices will always adjust to reflect them. Just stay within your means.
I was buying run down properties for 75k and putting 40k into them, then selling them for 190k. Now, those houses are selling for 200k in the 75k condition. There's no room left

Shes so out of touch she doesnt realize how unaffordable houses are now. Whos going to qualify for homes? Imaginary people? Houses prices are coming down.
Who can afford them? Blackrock, State Street. Trillion dollar balance sheets, I think they can afford them. But you making $70,000 cannot. And that's the plan man.
I keep hearing the same old WHINE. My wife and I really began saving money in 2016. We had enough in 2020 to invest in IRA's, and annuity, allocate more to 401k's, etc. We had more saved than we needed for the downpayment our home that we bought in 2022. You must reread my second sentence: "We really began saving in 2016." That was 8 years of hard work and savings habits. It became a lifestyle that started with saving $100 per month and then snowballed each time we got raises of new jump pay bumps. We still live like cheapo's. Houses are not unaffordable, people's lifestyles ARE!
Home prices are not really going up. The value of your dollars is going down. Plan and simple. The government has to stop printing money, and then spending it like a drunken sailor.
If you need a home equity loan or planning to sell then the increased value is great. But if you are doing neither of these even with your home paid off the increased value becomes a liability due to higher property tax and insurance . Screwed without a kiss.
Great attitude...despite being handed the woman victim card on a platter....she didnt take it and talked about just being a competitor. Cheers to that🍻
Prices were caused by 0% interest rates, not a shortage in housing. I'm sorry but the population has not gone up 200% since 2019. Lets be real. We need to get the investors out of the housing market and the Boomers out of politics. All of our lives will improve henceforth.
The real estate market in Charlotte NC has gone completely insane. Years ago it was the McMansion phase but now, a 2500 square foot home inside the Charlotte beltway is priced in the millions of dollars. In Mooresville , NC there are zero homes for sale under $300,000. That market has got to be in a bubble.
Yep. And the governments in Mooresville and charlotte are loving racing the values of our houses. I just took a $1500 a year pay cut because my property taxes went up. It’s def going to bust soon.
@@stevenevangelist5221Don't have much say in the matter. I could go through the trouble but have heard the best results are maybe a 25% reduction. And I know from comps, assessed value it probably right. My beef is that I'm being taxed on unrealized gains. I'll never see the profit if I sell. The county/Gov. should only be allowed to tax on purchase value. They shouldn't be allowed to adjust - it's just profit for them.
Where were the supposed shortages before covid? Where were these 10 buyers per house in 2019 when prices were less than half of what they are now, AND rates were much lower?
As of 2019 we were 5 million builds short in our housing market. The pandemic pushed the market and Trump administration kept hammering the feds to push down interest rates. Add in the low interest rates which qualified more buyers in a tight market plus those that didn’t want to sell because of the pandemic and you have a very hot market. We’re now at 4 million builds short but also have the highest group of young buyers 25-35 since WWII.
The monthly payment on a home that is 7% and drops to 6% is not very different. There is no way people are sitting waiting for a mortgage to go down $100 a month to buy. It would need to get to below 5% to really make a difference
This would be an interesting thing to see play out, imagine how many more homes would be released into the market if property classed as single-family couldn’t be owned by corporate entities as investments, whether that entity is big or small.
The number of single family homes used as rentals has decreased five of the past 6 years so that's not what's creating this problem. Why don't you look to the additional 10 million people who have poured across our borders over the past 5 or 6 years and ask yourself where they're living? Because if you think they're not taking up space at the lower income level in this country you're not thinking. They drive the price of low-cost housing up whether it's apartments condos or houses and our government exacerbates that problem by giving them money to compete against Young Americans who want to find a place to live
@@ravenspellman8370 first, the US fertility rate has been increasing slightly every year for the past 6 years or so. Second the US fertility rate is higher than Canada, norway, ireland, the uk, and about half the developed world and it's not anywhere near causing significant problems
Not sure Corcoran is on target, commissions are about double in America compared to other countries, that will trend down not sure it will be cut in half but close??
That's not exactly true. While in some countries it's less, that's because they are already paid an hourly salary +commission. In addition, they are not Realtors they are sales agents. The difference is that they have ZERO liability if the roof falls in, foundation etc. Every transaction, I work on I have a 10k deductible if there are any issues after close of escrow. So, Buyers are protected. Plus, I always pay for a home warranty plan for the first year, so if there are any issues, the Buyer is covered. In Denmark, there is a 7% commission, the agent does no advertising/marketing beyond placing one's home on their company website. So, they make more. In most countries in Europe, there is no MLS or computerized system of all of the homes for sale. This is what Realtors pay for. So, consumers have to go to each individual office. Besides paying an agent fee, they have to pay for a lawyer in addition, as well as a notary. There is limited protection for the consumer. Their total costs are similar or higher than in the USA. When I first started working with International clients, most couldn't get over how much I do for them. The average number of hours in each transaction is between 240-300 hours. I work closely with the lender, appraisal, escrow and title company. Recently, I sold a property that the title company didn't properly record a deed. I had to research the last time the home sold, since the previous owner had died. I had to research who their heirs were until I could make contact wit someone. Long story short, I resolved the issue after about 40 of work. What I will say is that the real estate profession in the USA has not been good about letting consumers know all of the things encompass what we do. I bought several homes in Latin America & its a wild experience. Net listings are very common. How this works-- if a Seller tells a real estate office they want 300k for their home & anything over that its the office's to keep. So, they list the home at $385,000 and sell it for $350,000. So, they've received a 50k commission. In the USA, they'd only get a 18k commission. There are very few disclosure requirements down there & the public has no rights to have access to their computerized listings. There are very few lawsuits down there. I've watched videos on You Tube about people paying homes in Portugal. Just from my knowledge of selling rural homes, I've asked the content creator several questions about their home, the new owners were told nothing. So, this shows there was limited to no disclosure. Plus in those countries, the Buyers do have to pay their Realtor for their services. I believe its 2% there & then you have to pay for an attorney and notary, there isn't any savings.
That's sort of like how used car lots sometimes do better than new because used, like a "fixer upper" home, will be good enough for a while. Many other factors like a bedroom community outside of a city offers a lower cost of living keeping the cheaper homes selling. However, a smaller town with affordable homes may find sellers struggling if they are too far out and the long commute becomes an issue.
Real estate agents are only interested in a commission! They put your house on the MSL, sit back, and wait for the phone to ring! They do not earn the outrages commission Schedule! I bought my last to properties from the owners, and saved thousands! You only need a good title company! It works for me!
What planet has she been living on???? Home prices have been through the roof for the last few years!!!! Completely unaffordable for the majority of people in this country now especially with the interest rates we have now.
I’m a single dad, I moved to the Bay Area a few years ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction? I heard Nvidia and AMD are strong buys.
it’s a personal decision, but according to Forbes, housing activities will remain stagnant for the most part of the year, so maybe hold off a little.
well you could put a downpayment on a home and as well diversify as much as you can into Ai and pharm. stocks like Pfizer and JnJ.
Certain Ai companies are rumoured to be overvalued and might cause a market correction, I’d suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I.
this is all new to me, where do I find a fiduciary, can you recommend any?

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!
You're right. I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets with the aid of an investment coach, and I was able to use high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and bonds to generate a little over $830K in net profit.

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide 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 portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
How can I reach this person?

I'm in Michigan, and the housing market here over the past 7-8 years has been unprecedented. Houses that were purchased for $130K in 2015 are now going for $590K. These are tiny, poorly constructed 950-square-foot homes in quiet, mediocre neighborhoods. Meanwhile, nicer, average-sized homes in better neighborhoods that were over $300K a decade ago are now selling for $750K+. It's wild.
A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

Money is becoming worthless.
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.
I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

Houses are sitting on market really long cuz no one’s buying em
It would be like asking an alcoholic if they believe you should have a drink to ask a real estate professional if you should purchase a house now. In my neighbourhood, properties that sold for about $450k in 2019 are currently selling for between $800 and $950k. Right now, every seller in my neighbourhood is bringing in $350,000. Just unbelievable. To be honest, what we need is deflation. Going bankrupt would be the only other alternative, and that would be detrimental to the economy as well. There's no other way to get back to normal.
My plans to work part-time, prepare for the future, and retire at 62 have been disrupted by the rising costs. Maybe people who survived the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I do right now, and that worries me. The unstable stock market coupled with a drop in income has me worried about having enough money saved for retirement.
For this exact reason, I prefer to have a portfolio coach help me make daily decisions about the markets. Their vast experience of simultaneously going long and short, taking advantage of risk for its asymmetrical upside, and selling it as a hedge against inevitable downward turns means that they almost never underperform. Over the past two years, I have made over $800,000 with the help of a portfolio coach.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

I completely disagree with her. There are no houses for sale because homeowners do not want to trade a 2.75% mortgage for a 7% mortgage so they are staying put
We are also under built in most areas. That’s what is going on in my area, along with sellers who don’t want to give up that low low rate.
THEY WILL SELL, ONCE THE INTEREST RATES START GOING DOWN, MAYBE THIS YEAR
That's me
The problem with selling your house is, where are you going to live? I think too many people got obsessed with the idea of making a huge profit from the sale... but then they still have to find a place to move to. This is why I wont sell my house. I have no reason to move, and if i did i'd have to find another house. I dont have a super low interest rate either. But im staying!!
Which is driving the price increases.
Barbara is a typical realtor... they always say right now is the best time to buy or sell!!
historically it is...
You buy when others are panic selling. You sell when others are retail buying in a frenzy at the top of the market.
When you have a sizable savings, good credit, and been on your job for two year’s or more that pays enough to afford a mortgage, is the right time to buy. Has nothing to do with the market.

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.

We do not want prices to go through the roof. Families cannot afford a home. this is a real problem.

@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow Sorry to say, many cities here really do. most of san diego still nice, for now. another multi thousand caravan now at the border. not looking good.
I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too
You are right! I’ve diversified my portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

I’m not waiting for interest rates to come down, I’m WAITING FOR PRICES TO COME DOWN!
You’re not going to be happy. Home prices wont be dropping anytime soon. 2008 was the result of Chinese money that was momentarily injected into the market combined with the Bush administration continuing the Clinton policy of compelling FANNI MAE to require the inclusion of high-risk loans in order to put an end to red-lining. Good intentions, horrible results.
AS SOON AS INTEREST RATES GO DOWN, HOUSE PRICES WILL GO UP, REMEMBER YOU CAN ALWAYS REFINACE AT A LOWER RATE
@@domcizek That is the conventional wisdom and what Barbara suggests. However, when rates come down, how many home owner's with a mortgage at 2% to 4% will be more willing to list (resale market)? At 5% on the 30 year, will some % of people with mortgages list and will those listings put more downward pressure on prices than any new demand from the lower rates? People with 2% to 4% rates now are holding on even if they want to sale because the asset is not the home but the low rate, and for most, that asset, the low rate mortgage, is not transferrable to another house. That's the only thing I'd challenge Barbara on from that segment. She's spot on with the rest of what she is claiming.
You always port your mortgage so you can sell
@@domcizek I’m a cash buyer looking for the deal.
If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals . 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.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making.

Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?

I disagree with Barbra property taxes and hoa fees are through the roof. 1% intrest rates not going to help.
It is unconstitutional for municipalities to levy taxes including property taxes. Unfortunately the courts have stood on the sideline allowing this confiscation and permitting states to write tax codes that fill their coffers with the greed of avarice.

@@Terrathraxstep up and buy your ticket for a dirt nap… I didn’t think so.
Housing prices are unlikely to significantly decrease until there's a substantial increase in housing supply. In the USA , there's a shortage of millions of housing units, and construction isn't keeping pace. The constant demand for housing, coupled with population growth, means that even a slight price drop attracts numerous buyers who quickly absorb the available supply. I'm considering purchasing affordable houses in 2024 and possibly venturing into stock investments. When is the best time to enter the stock market? Some people say it is profitable , but others say it's risky. Any advice?
Consider investing in stocks especially during a recession . While recessions can be tough, they can also offer good chances to buy low and sell high in the markets if you're cautious. Just remember, this is not financial advice, but it's a good time to think about buying stocks since having cash on hand isn't always the best option.
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

Same here. I'm not sure where you're from, but in NJ, my house, while it's worth more with a 2.75% mortgage, my taxes, bills are so far through the roof, I can't afford my house anymore. I need $30,000 just to cover Taxes, insurances, basic bills, fuel.. it's sickening.
@MoneySavingVideos When I bought in 2014, my taxes were under $6k. Now they're $14k! Special school tax last year was an extra $3k.

I can't wait to get out!
That’s us as well. We are in Illinois.
As we go through property tax assessments, current homeowners will get significant tax increases based on their estimated home value. High property taxes will force people to move out of their towns (already happening in Chicago), thus more homes will be available helping to correct the house market.
As home values increase, homeowners insurance increases because of replacement costs for repairs. Taxes also increase as home values increase.
So people are complaining about food prices and not affording them. But out of left field everyone is goona have tons of extra money for house's. Not seeing the connection.
So true

Housing is unaffordable for 90% of Americans. Median price of a home in 2010 was $168,000. Now the median price is $418,000. This means an average of 18% appreciation since 2010. Wages have not gone up 18%. Working class people are lucky to get a 3% raise.

Houses are not selling in my area as fast as they did a couple years ago! Basically, the high interest rates and Biden’s wonderful economy has caused a freeze in selling homes here in Houston area!
The number of homes selling has been down 40% compared to 2021. However, prices in California have appreciated by 7% in 2023. What we are seeing nationwide is that for new construction to sell, they are having to "Buy Down" rates into the 5.75 range to move homes. Many are predicting by the 3rd quarter of 2023, rates will be down to 5.5%. If that happens, prices are set to increase.
The big challenge is that no one wants to give up a 3% loan to buy another home, so this accounts for the lack of inventory. 3 of the last 4 homes I sold, were cash sales. So, people are borrowing against stocks to buy properties. This is a hardship for first time Buyers.

@@AS-gf5jn Agree. That's the hard fact about living California. I had a client call me last week about selling their home, it would of sold for about 2 million. However, I sold them their home 20 years ago & they did a refi when rates were 2.75. I advised them not to sell. In the past year alone, their home has appreciated over $100,000.
While California is indeed expensive, there are many excellent things about it--apart from the weather-- that is difficult to duplicate. So, if someone wants to move to another area, I suggest they rent their home out for a year & live in another location before selling.

If I cared to put a little more effort into it, I could check a few more stocks and dial in right down to the hour.
It says 4 days ago at the top of the video info. Next to 922k views.
@nicolejennings8389 4 days ago was when it was uploaded, not necessarily when filmed.
@@FWMCBigFootthey don’t wait weeks or months to upload. At most it would be a couple of days, but it’s usually within hours of it being live.

He’s basically asking a real estate agent if it’s a good time to buy a house
“Prices are going to go through the roof, buy now!”
I remember Greenspan saying that before the crash.
But now we have Blackrock to contend with. Behemoth who hates humanity.
When you have a sizable savings, good credit, and been on your job for two year’s or more that pays enough to afford a mortgage, is the right time to buy. Has nothing to do with the market.

In light of the current economic trends indicating a potential downturn in the stock market and an impending recession, coupled with falling inflation rates, investors are advised to consider diversifying their portfolios. Exploring alternative assets such as gold and crypto trading would be a strategic move to hedge against the expected market volatility and inflationary pressures. This approach is crucial in navigating the complex financial landscape shaped by fluctuating Federal Reserve policies and the broader economic climate........Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Kerrie Farrell can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments has been the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends...managed to grow a nest egg of around 4 b,tc to a decent 21 b,tc in the space of a few months...

I was literally just arguing with people about Austin,Tx lately. I love it there,but nah, that area has become ridiculous.
She revealed the state of NYC currently, older people (and their money) are leaving, younger people (with no money) are moving in.
She didn’t say they (younger ppl) didn’t have money. You cant go there unless you have money. Rich parents i presume?
Housing went through the roof several years ago, its now entering the stratosphere
I pretty much agree with everything she discussed. Bought my first house in 1972 in CO. Had a first mortgage at 8% and thought that was a bargain. Sold that house 12 years later and made almost double what I paid for it. Then bought a condo on the beach in Huntington Beach. Had a first on it at just over 12% and knew it was a bargain. Sold it in 2001 to move to Florida and made almost 3 times what I paid for it. And it only gets better. Got out of the market in 06 and rented for 2 years, saw the crash coming, bought the house were in in 09 and it's worth more than double what we paid for it. Reified in 21 and locked in a 2% loan for 15 years, pulled a bunch of equity and using it for part of our retirement income. POINT IS , RE is a no risk trade at any price, as long as you don't buy more than you can comfortably afford to keep up and maintain to stay in the trade. Forget about rates. Doesn't matter. History proves that. Market prices will always adjust to reflect them. Just stay within your means.
I was buying run down properties for 75k and putting 40k into them, then selling them for 190k. Now, those houses are selling for 200k in the 75k condition. There's no room left
You know it’s possible to build housing units, right?
@@SigFigNewton that's a different contractor license. I can't alter existing footprints. That said, I'm going to get that license next because you're right lol
@@ChrisPyle I’m just saying that “no room left” is only as true as our society allows it to be. There are plenty of cities around the world that have much higher population densities than a typical US city.
you should have kept them as long term rentals instead but you thought the gravy train would keep going
@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 It's called an income lol Every third flip I have kept as a rental, but it's kinda hard to keep buying more if all your money is tied up
Shes so out of touch she doesnt realize how unaffordable houses are now. Whos going to qualify for homes? Imaginary people? Houses prices are coming down.
Today just coming up with 30% down is huge with the price of homes. Then factor in the current interest rate and the mortgage is crazy.
Who can afford them? Blackrock, State Street. Trillion dollar balance sheets, I think they can afford them. But you making $70,000 cannot. And that's the plan man.
Doesn't work that way. They are actually selling what they've bought. @@user-wg3bu5wh6d
I keep hearing the same old WHINE. My wife and I really began saving money in 2016. We had enough in 2020 to invest in IRA's, and annuity, allocate more to 401k's, etc. We had more saved than we needed for the downpayment our home that we bought in 2022. You must reread my second sentence: "We really began saving in 2016." That was 8 years of hard work and savings habits. It became a lifestyle that started with saving $100 per month and then snowballed each time we got raises of new jump pay bumps. We still live like cheapo's. Houses are not unaffordable, people's lifestyles ARE!
Lol randy. Congrats on saving for 8 years just to be a slave to that interest rate for your 30year mortgage. The bank thanks you.
Home prices are not really going up. The value of your dollars is going down. Plan and simple. The government has to stop printing money, and then spending it like a drunken sailor.
Most real estate agents/brokers are always bullish with their public declarations. This means little
Just got my 2nd revised assessment for my home for 2024. Lot value went up $20,000! This is nuts. Governments plan is to own all housing.
Our home in Oklahoma went up in value 55k since last year...I guess they want more tax money
If you need a home equity loan or planning to sell then the increased value is great. But if you are doing neither of these even with your home paid off the increased value becomes a liability due to higher property tax and insurance . Screwed without a kiss.
Great attitude...despite being handed the woman victim card on a platter....she didnt take it and talked about just being a competitor. Cheers to that🍻
Prices were caused by 0% interest rates, not a shortage in housing. I'm sorry but the population has not gone up 200% since 2019. Lets be real. We need to get the investors out of the housing market and the Boomers out of politics. All of our lives will improve henceforth.
Sick of Boomers, and Barbara is an annoying Boomer.

The real estate market in Charlotte NC has gone completely insane. Years ago it was the McMansion phase but now, a 2500 square foot home inside the Charlotte beltway is priced in the millions of dollars. In Mooresville , NC there are zero homes for sale under $300,000. That market has got to be in a bubble.
Yep. And the governments in Mooresville and charlotte are loving racing the values of our houses. I just took a $1500 a year pay cut because my property taxes went up. It’s def going to bust soon.
Make sure your tax value is correct.
@@stevenevangelist5221Don't have much say in the matter. I could go through the trouble but have heard the best results are maybe a 25% reduction. And I know from comps, assessed value it probably right. My beef is that I'm being taxed on unrealized gains. I'll never see the profit if I sell. The county/Gov. should only be allowed to tax on purchase value. They shouldn't be allowed to adjust - it's just profit for them.
@@thebikeracerit isn't going to bust, big firms are buying with cash. There's nothing to bust.
@@user-wg3bu5wh6dStill going to bust.
Where were the supposed shortages before covid? Where were these 10 buyers per house in 2019 when prices were less than half of what they are now, AND rates were much lower?
As of 2019 we were 5 million builds short in our housing market. The pandemic pushed the market and Trump administration kept hammering the feds to push down interest rates. Add in the low interest rates which qualified more buyers in a tight market plus those that didn’t want to sell because of the pandemic and you have a very hot market. We’re now at 4 million builds short but also have the highest group of young buyers 25-35 since WWII.
They were out paying for " exsperiances" and delaying getting married or having children.
I thought housing prices were are ready through the roof!!!!!
The monthly payment on a home that is 7% and drops to 6% is not very different. There is no way people are sitting waiting for a mortgage to go down $100 a month to buy. It would need to get to below 5% to really make a difference
The more they go up the harder will crash prices are already ridiculous, my home is like 3 times what i pay on 2015
Every time an investor buys a house, they take away a home from babies. Someone stop them!
This would be an interesting thing to see play out, imagine how many more homes would be released into the market if property classed as single-family couldn’t be owned by corporate entities as investments, whether that entity is big or small.
Flippers do drive up prices as its just a business to them they have no intention of actually living in it
The number of single family homes used as rentals has decreased five of the past 6 years so that's not what's creating this problem. Why don't you look to the additional 10 million people who have poured across our borders over the past 5 or 6 years and ask yourself where they're living? Because if you think they're not taking up space at the lower income level in this country you're not thinking. They drive the price of low-cost housing up whether it's apartments condos or houses and our government exacerbates that problem by giving them money to compete against Young Americans who want to find a place to live

I paid cash for acreage and built my own . Screw all the real estate leeches!
She says these are “rough times”. That is an understatement.
Not sure Corcoran is on target, commissions are about double in America compared to other countries, that will trend down not sure it will be cut in half but close??
That's not exactly true. While in some countries it's less, that's because they are already paid an hourly salary +commission. In addition, they are not Realtors they are sales agents. The difference is that they have ZERO liability if the roof falls in, foundation etc. Every transaction, I work on I have a 10k deductible if there are any issues after close of escrow. So, Buyers are protected. Plus, I always pay for a home warranty plan for the first year, so if there are any issues, the Buyer is covered.
In Denmark, there is a 7% commission, the agent does no advertising/marketing beyond placing one's home on their company website. So, they make more. In most countries in Europe, there is no MLS or computerized system of all of the homes for sale. This is what Realtors pay for. So, consumers have to go to each individual office. Besides paying an agent fee, they have to pay for a lawyer in addition, as well as a notary. There is limited protection for the consumer. Their total costs are similar or higher than in the USA.
When I first started working with International clients, most couldn't get over how much I do for them. The average number of hours in each transaction is between 240-300 hours. I work closely with the lender, appraisal, escrow and title company. Recently, I sold a property that the title company didn't properly record a deed. I had to research the last time the home sold, since the previous owner had died. I had to research who their heirs were until I could make contact wit someone. Long story short, I resolved the issue after about 40 of work.
What I will say is that the real estate profession in the USA has not been good about letting consumers know all of the things encompass what we do.
I bought several homes in Latin America & its a wild experience. Net listings are very common. How this works-- if a Seller tells a real estate office they want 300k for their home & anything over that its the office's to keep. So, they list the home at $385,000 and sell it for $350,000. So, they've received a 50k commission. In the USA, they'd only get a 18k commission. There are very few disclosure requirements down there & the public has no rights to have access to their computerized listings. There are very few lawsuits down there.
I've watched videos on You Tube about people paying homes in Portugal. Just from my knowledge of selling rural homes, I've asked the content creator several questions about their home, the new owners were told nothing. So, this shows there was limited to no disclosure. Plus in those countries, the Buyers do have to pay their Realtor for their services. I believe its 2% there & then you have to pay for an attorney and notary, there isn't any savings.
people already cant afford them... expect deflation
Moving into cars suvs rvs you name it.
There are 5 buyers for every property for sale.
Yeah except I've been seeing that theory crumble been watching that for a while.
You look FABULOUS, Barbara!
When a for sale sign goes up here especially a fixer upper its gone in two days.
because no one buying. well according to fox.
That's sort of like how used car lots sometimes do better than new because used, like a "fixer upper" home, will be good enough for a while. Many other factors like a bedroom community outside of a city offers a lower cost of living keeping the cheaper homes selling. However, a smaller town with affordable homes may find sellers struggling if they are too far out and the long commute becomes an issue.
Sell your home by owner. Don’t give anyone 6% of your home’s value.
Barbara looks amazing!
NYC is on life support. Plan the funeral!
As it should be.
Real estate agents are only interested in a commission! They put your house on the MSL, sit back, and wait for the phone to ring! They do not earn the outrages commission
Schedule! I bought my last to properties from the owners, and saved thousands! You only need a good title company!
It works for me!
What planet has she been living on???? Home prices have been through the roof for the last few years!!!! Completely unaffordable for the majority of people in this country now especially with the interest rates we have now.
