    I’m a millennial but I shop houses like a boomer and this is why my husband and I still don’t have a house lol. We dropped out of the market because I REFUSE to buy a house I’m asked to waive inspection and appraisal on.

      My parents bought in 1980, and they moved further out and paid a lot for the time and for their income. Had they waited, why would have paid A LOT more for a house. 9 years laters they sold that house for almost 4x what they bought it for. Never try to time the market. You assume the likelihood that homes will go up in price, as there not enough inventory. And if prices did drop, we have 3 years of people waiting it out in line in front of you, who will jump the prices right back up.
      I know, I feel bad for millennials, or at least the ones that vote conservative, because the wall street reform and consumer protection act really screwed first time buyers in this timeframe.

      @@jesse_- I’m not trying to time the market. I just don’t want to buy a house I have to waive inspection and appraisal to get. I honestly don’t even want a house. My husband does. It’s not worth it to me to end up house broke because we didn’t have those safety nets. If that means we’ll pay more for a house because we waited, oh well. I’m fine with that. I’m more concerned about make a bad financial decision that puts us in the poor house.

    When they say 'millennial', they mean the 25-29 yr olds. Yall have to remember that older millennials are late 30s into early 40s. Most don't do anything like that. And everyone completely skips over the whole Gen X generation.

    My husband and I (millenials) are selling our house and took a lowball offer of 20k under asking. (We still pocket a significant amount so we didn't care and this offer also came with us not having to do any kind of repairs)

      Not these days. I hear stories all the time about people offering asking price on house after house, and the houses go to people who offer way over asking price.
      It’s crazy, but I expect to see an (ahem) correction soon, and some people will be kicking themselves hard for paying what they did.

    • @brandonstevens4513
      @brandonstevens4513 10 місяців тому

      I'd not count on people kicking themselves that much. The issue is supply, not really demand. Many have walked away and even if interest rates fall back down to 5% there's still a ton of people who won't sell because they're locked in at 3%.
      Think back to the summer of 2022. Ultimately, if prices come down the demand will shoot it back up. Interest rates fall, demand will increase.
      Income increases, demand will increase.
      The fed and everyone in gov is very cautious about repeating 2008, so they won't let the bottom fall out. It's more likely that we only see about 2-3% increases in home value in the next 5 or so years while supply, interest rates, and incomes can keep up.

    • @mii2oo150
      @mii2oo150 10 місяців тому

      ​@@mikewatkins7618I hear that! I'm in Ontario, Canada. People went nuts here and drove home prices sky high and sunk every available dollar they could into outbidding the next guy. Now interest rates are up, and those same people can barely afford to pay just the interest when they renew. Unfortunately many are renting out their basements for $2000/mo, or a single bedroom for about $1200/mo. You can't rent or buy anything decent without going broke!

Is it cool today to spend like a baller because I keep my mouth shut, I know what they make and just watch them spend like they have executive salaries. Gone are the days of saving, being frugal and spending wisely. Not going to lie I am curious to see how this all plays out for them long term, those of my generation that did are realizing now that they retirement days are going to be very hard unless kids let them move in with them and support them.
