I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years 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 quiet 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.
Personally, I can connect to that. When I began working with a fiduciary financial counsellor, my advantages were certain. I got into the market early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2021 this time with guidance, Long story short, its been 2years now and I’ve gained over a million dollars following guidance from my investment adviser.

Great video! For 2024, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
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. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

Getting a new home built. Putting over 40% down. Plan to stay 10-15 years. I say do what works for you. Not every one gets what they want when they want. This is my 3rd home and I’m almost 50. Worked hard for this home and did all the right things to get here today. While it’s not my “dream” home it is the nicest home thus far and very impressive. Good luck and don’t give up.
I bought a 2 bed, 2 bath townhome last year with a rate of 6.875% and a final loan amount of $203,500. My mortgage and HOA combined is $1,800. It's been about the same as renting if not cheaper thus far so in my opinion buying isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

Wow javier’s advice has stay consistent over the years. A little over a year ago I was able to buy a house well under market value by following his advice and being ready when the time came. My wife happened to be talking to a friend and they had a family home that we bought “off market”. Talking to a lender and seeing where we stood was HUGE identifying what we needed to work on.
Just went into contract in Riverview, FL. Originally listed for $550K. Went into contract for $460K with $15K in seller closing cost assistance and the unit comes 50% furnished. 3400 sqft. The appraisal will most likely come back with $20-30k positive equity. Seller needed to sell asap and I negotiated very strong. Denied their first counteroffer. After a week, they came back and I asked for more. I guess it depends on how you look at your situation and our current market. If your financial situation is strong, I think it’s a good time to buy if the deal is right.
I’ve been looking in the same area but for new construction. Went with Lithia,FL. Lots of good incentives on new construction if you’re a qualified buyer. Was able to get a good interest rate (below 5%) and closing costs paid. Congrats on your new home !
A key factor often overlooked is that over 25% of new homes are being acquired by investors, rather than individuals seeking primary residences. Even if Baby Boomers decide to offload their properties or more housing stock enters the market, it won’t alleviate the underlying issue. Wealthy investors will continue to absorb the available inventory, which will keep home prices elevated.
There's also a lack of discussion about the role that major financial institutions-banks, private equity firms, and giants like BlackRock-played by purchasing properties post-2008, treating them as investment assets. It's impossible to fully understand the current housing crisis without acknowledging this trend. Additionally, larger luxury properties are inherently more profitable than smaller, more affordable homes, leading developers to prioritize luxury developments for higher returns.
While I anticipate a future decrease in home prices, I currently recommend diversifying investments away from real estate. Shifting capital into the financial markets or commodities like gold is a safer bet given the current high mortgage rates, recession indicators, and tightened lending standards. Housing prices might need to correct by 40-50% before the market stabilizes. In uncertain times like these, getting independent financial advice from a market-savvy expert is essential.

With mortgage rates over 7% again i dont really have a choice i cant afford anything in nj or even within a 1 hour commute from manhattan where i work. Im 32 and make about 90k a year and its just not possible sadly so i have to live with my parents for a couple more years and just keep saving.
90k isn't enough to buy in north jersey might be able to get something small by Delaware in jersey if your lucky. Either save a large down payment while living at home or figure how to get income over 200k even south jersey is hard to qualify for with 6 figures. Also have an emergency fund insurance tries to drop you on day of closing if house has any imperfections. Talking from experience just went through it.
@@sewerrat7612yea sadly salaries like 200k are extremely rare and itll be hard for me to move anywhere too far with all the benefits i have with my job right now which include 401k,pension christmas bonuses free healthcare for me and the whole family etc. My job unfortunately is not remote.
@@sewerrat7612 yea i live with my parents so im able to save like 40k a year after expenses. Issue is how will house prices be in 6 years when i have enough money saved. And sadly with my current job its unlikely i get anything close to that pay. I appreciate the advice though.
The answer to this question is the answer to should you buy a home: Can you financially swing the payment without being extremely at risk of going bankrupt? If the answer is yes, the time is right. Generally speaking, over 30 years your wages will go up so if you can handle the payment with your current finances you'll easily be able to handle it as inflation and wage growth continue over the long term. Even people that bought in 2008 eventually came out on top in the long-run if they kept the home and refinanced
I’m 45 and have about $225k liquid in savings which I plan to put towards becoming a homeowner, but based on the current high prices on real estate, do you suggest I hold from buying and look at dividend paying stocks instead?
after studying the trajectory of great assets like real estate, dividend paying stocks and gold, my conclusion is to buy and invest in what you can afford today! working with a license FA can certainly help
Agreed, I'm in line with having a fudiciary oversee my day-to-day investing, cos my job doesn't permit me the time to analyze stocks myself. Thankfully, my portfolio is well diversified and has just 5X in 5 years, summing up nearly $1m as of today.
@@delectable09-r5q I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio, however I need a different plan now.. mind if I look up the professional guiding you please?
Had this same talk bavk in 22'. Buy if you can put enough down to easily afford it. Having a stable job a big plus too. If not rent and invest till you do.
I’m facing a problem: the houses I’m interested in are out of my budget, even with a $100,000 down payment. Unfortunately, there’s not a single house that I like and that fits my needs, so I’ll have to wait on the sidelines until I can find the right one in my budget.
I’m honestly starting to think the answer is “no” for me. Just got my mortgage underwritten and approved last week, and I just feel like stopping here before I get into this, spend money I’ll regret, and be locked into an over priced house with an unaffordable interest rate
Over priced is likely to never stop, but you can refinance later if its straining you. But if you have this many reservations about it, its better to pay the fees and do it later. But don't take advice from the internet though.
What we need is a Recession .. A good economy means higher home prices, no incentive for desperation sales. Lower interest rates, is for those sole living on borrowed credit - paycheck to paycheck
Investors with unlimited cash will not stop buying homes during a recession. If anything, they'll consider it a discount. We need more supply, a lot of it, fast.
It’s not all things equal if the rent and mortgage payment are about the same. On top of the mortgage you are paying for maintenance/ repair costs, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, property taxes, etc. All of which you don’t pay as a renter. And that’s not even getting into the fact the value of your house could fall off a cliff at any moment and you could be stuck there for 5-10 waiting for it to bounce back. That being said, if you’re ready for it and it’s right for your life situation then it can still be a good decision
In this calculation, rent should be slightly lower than the mortgage payment. If I had to put an estimate for the "alternative investments", it would be something along the lines of 70% of the mortgage payment would make them equal (this keeps the 30 year appreciation of the home in line with the opportunity cost of the down payment and any extra hidden expenses and fees). But honestly, anyone doing this calculation, should just keep renting, and not buying, as its likely they are buying for "FOMO" than actually wanting a house and committing to it. This is more of a "am I ready to buy" or "is this a good investment" calculation rather than a "should I buy this house", calculation (because this one is straight forward).
In the current economic climate, a home is not the best investment. I've already sold my Boca Grande area home, but I want to invest roughly $200,000 in stocks since I've heard that even in challenging times, investors may turn a profit. Any excellent ideas for stocks?
The truth is that if you make the right picks, you could make killer riches very quickly, although such profit usually needs expertise, as in hedge funds or financial managers. I personally prefer the latter.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advlsor, I currently have $985k in a well-diversified portfollo that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in st0cks, but you also need to be knowledgeable.
@@CindyValenti How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
My adviser is "Annette Christine Conte" You can easily look her up. She has years of financial market experience and she is also FINRA & SEC verifiable.
I just looked up this person out of curiosity, and surprisingly she seems really proficient. I thought this was just some overrated BS, I appreciate this.
Honestly my view is if this whole tariff bit comes to fruition in the years to come, housing will be one of the only things that will not be affected, but there will be landlords raising their rents to cover their own tariff costs of goods needed for maintenance and their own livelihood which in turn house prices will go up.
After doing the calculations, no. But if the right house comes along... I wouldn't mind it, I can pretty much afford most of the houses I was looking at, but none of them spoke to me.
Every home purchase is deal specific. Motivated seller, off-market, equity capture, strategic value-add , repurpose, etc. The "market environment " matters not.
4:01 I’m not stuck in limbo while waiting. I have my money in the stock market, and it is growing very nicely. More than double in the last 2 years, meanwhile house prices have been flat. That doesn’t mean I’ll never buy a house, but it means I can afford to be picky because the alternative is pretty dang good.
I understand it probably won't be a good idea to buy unless you know you can stay in it for 3+ or 5+ years, but with the current job situation, how would you ever be certain?
Hi I work 3 jobs one full time and two part time. If I have been at my full time for two years and one part time job for a year and half and the other part time job for 6 months could I use all three jobs as my source of income? Thanks
Its ok to buy a house if you are a growing family...but if you view it as an investment, definitely just dump that money into stocks. Its bull market time and there's so much potential upside atm than fighting your interest rate and being house poor.
I make close to 100k gross in California , with no debt all my cards been paid off. Have a little for the down plus what’s in 401k , I also have investments but I rather not touch, what do you recommend Javi
Bought a town home using va loan in one of the most expensive real estate cities in the U.S I got in mid 5 percent apr. I thought If I don't buy now I would of never bought it if you ready to buy, go if you get good rate. If you go by Dave Ramsey's advice, you will never get out of your parent's home or apartment.
I make 150$k But I do not trust jobs and I do not want to pay 3000 a month. I’d rather live at home and save my 6000 monthly and I’m happy even though it’s embarrassing that I’m 46 and live at
Too many variables, climate change affecting insurance prices, elevated interest rates and the home shortage if ever alleviated will put downward pressure on home prices not to mention the cost of repair and maintaining right now on top of that.
I recently reached out to a real estate agent and went through the whole pre-approval process. Now that I know what I qualify for I want to wait another year or two. Save some more money and pay down some more debt. I feel find of bad. Im not sure how to break it to the realtor. I dont want to waste anyones time. Any advice?
honestly just call them up and tell them exactly that. I promise you they won't take it personally. If they do, then that wasn't the right agent for you anyway.
Can I afford 250k house with va loan if i bring in 6300 monthly post taxes? I have a property tax exemption but to use it i have to buy a house first then apply at town hall for the tax cut so I'll pay taxes for the first year and they're like 600 a month in CT. 2400 of that income is housing allowance while I go to school it last for four years but is not considered income for buying power. Also have 30k total on the dot for emergancy/closing/earnest money
Wife and myself combined should be at about $165k/yr We invest about $37,000/yr We have a good emergency fund, and two reliable cars. I still dont feel like damn near doubling my rent cost of $1,550/mo to around $3,000/mo (before utilities) just to buy a house... So if we can't afford to buy comfortably, who can? Maybe we invest too much, but I dont really care to change those habits.
@BREEZYM6015 You found a good deal, good for you man 🤙🏻 I'm in Phoenix and the housing market is stuck at about $440,000 average for a house that I deem "worth spending money on."
I would say that you are not investing enough. When I was married in the 1990s, our income was less than yours is now & we were saving well over $37,000 per year!
@@janereinhardt4715 Cost of living is much higher than 1990, so if I invest more, I will get to enjoy nothing and I'd might as well end it now if that's the case. I invest into aggressive ETFs only. Long play, higher volatility, speculation is to have 2.5-3mil by the time I'm at age 50-55. If I invest more, I'll have no money left for purchasing anything, let alone a house.
But I really do want to be your friend and eat tacos together. Maybe pick a random subscriber and interview them about a housing purchase, 1 year or 5 years in. Regrets. Opportunities. Etc
You will never know your monthly payment until you are about to sign the paperwork. Many factors go into that payment and if you can’t figure out what is involved, I recommend you continue your home buying education and find that info out. Best of luck !
Near record prices & high interest rates yep buy I get 3-5x commission 😂 Asking a real estate agent when to buy is like asking a car salesman if it’s a good time to buy a car. But occasionally you get a good one like you lol 😂
People people people. If you keep 9n buyong high demand snd prices will keep on rising, don't buy dont buy don't buy wait until mid to end of 2025 or more
Sure go ahead and buy a house at historically high prices with a high interest rate to boot. All the realtors say this is your last opportunity to buy before it's too late 😂
Me and my wife make around 210K in South Dakota, we also have around 50K for down payments and my wife really likes to buy a house but i can’t mentally handle the 3000$ monthly payment even we take home around 13k in a month and we have 1200$ monthly payments on our cars and student loans all together, I really don’t know how to become mentally comfortable with this payment!
Pay all the bills and cars first and do not buy new cars. Than it would be easier to save more and put more downpayment so you do not have a high downpayment. Eventually, you could hopefully refinance and or just try to pay the house off asap. 🤷♀️

Indeed. It should never depend on the "market conditions", but whether you can afford it right now, and reasonably into the future or not.
Drawing kinda looks like the home buyer is opening a portal to a demonic realm (sellers market)
Just wanted to thank you. I was able to close on my first house thanks to your videos explaining the proccess.
A key factor often overlooked is that over 25% of new homes are being acquired by investors, rather than individuals seeking primary residences. Even if Baby Boomers decide to offload their properties or more housing stock enters the market, it won’t alleviate the underlying issue. Wealthy investors will continue to absorb the available inventory, which will keep home prices elevated.
There's also a lack of discussion about the role that major financial institutions-banks, private equity firms, and giants like BlackRock-played by purchasing properties post-2008, treating them as investment assets. It's impossible to fully understand the current housing crisis without acknowledging this trend. Additionally, larger luxury properties are inherently more profitable than smaller, more affordable homes, leading developers to prioritize luxury developments for higher returns.
While I anticipate a future decrease in home prices, I currently recommend diversifying investments away from real estate. Shifting capital into the financial markets or commodities like gold is a safer bet given the current high mortgage rates, recession indicators, and tightened lending standards. Housing prices might need to correct by 40-50% before the market stabilizes. In uncertain times like these, getting independent financial advice from a market-savvy expert is essential.

That number sounds high. Do you have any sources to back up that 25% claim?
With mortgage rates over 7% again i dont really have a choice i cant afford anything in nj or even within a 1 hour commute from manhattan where i work. Im 32 and make about 90k a year and its just not possible sadly so i have to live with my parents for a couple more years and just keep saving.
90k isn't enough to buy in north jersey might be able to get something small by Delaware in jersey if your lucky. Either save a large down payment while living at home or figure how to get income over 200k even south jersey is hard to qualify for with 6 figures. Also have an emergency fund insurance tries to drop you on day of closing if house has any imperfections. Talking from experience just went through it.
@@sewerrat7612yea sadly salaries like 200k are extremely rare and itll be hard for me to move anywhere too far with all the benefits i have with my job right now which include 401k,pension christmas bonuses free healthcare for me and the whole family etc. My job unfortunately is not remote.
@@sewerrat7612 yea i live with my parents so im able to save like 40k a year after expenses. Issue is how will house prices be in 6 years when i have enough money saved. And sadly with my current job its unlikely i get anything close to that pay. I appreciate the advice though.
The answer to this question is the answer to should you buy a home: Can you financially swing the payment without being extremely at risk of going bankrupt? If the answer is yes, the time is right. Generally speaking, over 30 years your wages will go up so if you can handle the payment with your current finances you'll easily be able to handle it as inflation and wage growth continue over the long term. Even people that bought in 2008 eventually came out on top in the long-run if they kept the home and refinanced
I’m 45 and have about $225k liquid in savings which I plan to put towards becoming a homeowner, but based on the current high prices on real estate, do you suggest I hold from buying and look at dividend paying stocks instead?
after studying the trajectory of great assets like real estate, dividend paying stocks and gold, my conclusion is to buy and invest in what you can afford today! working with a license FA can certainly help
Agreed, I'm in line with having a fudiciary oversee my day-to-day investing, cos my job doesn't permit me the time to analyze stocks myself. Thankfully, my portfolio is well diversified and has just 5X in 5 years, summing up nearly $1m as of today.
@@delectable09-r5q I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio, however I need a different plan now.. mind if I look up the professional guiding you please?
I take guidance from ''Sophia Verdekal O'neal'' she's quite known in her field of work with over two decades of experience, and well spoken.

Had this same talk bavk in 22'. Buy if you can put enough down to easily afford it. Having a stable job a big plus too. If not rent and invest till you do.
I just did but it was a new build (with all appliances, gutters, blinds, sod etc) with promotional rate and I had 10% down. Otherwise, no go for sure!
I’m facing a problem: the houses I’m interested in are out of my budget, even with a $100,000 down payment. Unfortunately, there’s not a single house that I like and that fits my needs, so I’ll have to wait on the sidelines until I can find the right one in my budget.
Rent in my area is half the price of mortgage. All these people saying buying is cheaper live in some other world.
Owning builds equity and value to your overall portfolio
@@FindTheTRUTH337 lol owning mostly just pays interest for the first decade
I’m honestly starting to think the answer is “no” for me. Just got my mortgage underwritten and approved last week, and I just feel like stopping here before I get into this, spend money I’ll regret, and be locked into an over priced house with an unaffordable interest rate
Over priced can’t be fixed, but you could always refinance for a lower rate.
Over priced is likely to never stop, but you can refinance later if its straining you. But if you have this many reservations about it, its better to pay the fees and do it later.
But don't take advice from the internet though.
Best thing we did was buy a house in 21, 2nd best thing was buying the e bike.
What we need is a Recession .. A good economy means higher home prices, no incentive for desperation sales. Lower interest rates, is for those sole living on borrowed credit - paycheck to paycheck
u think the government is going to allow a recession? most people who own assets do not want a recession.
@@atg2269 - vs - those who want to buy wants things to get cheaper, a recession is needed
Investors with unlimited cash will not stop buying homes during a recession. If anything, they'll consider it a discount. We need more supply, a lot of it, fast.
It’s not all things equal if the rent and mortgage payment are about the same. On top of the mortgage you are paying for maintenance/ repair costs, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, property taxes, etc. All of which you don’t pay as a renter. And that’s not even getting into the fact the value of your house could fall off a cliff at any moment and you could be stuck there for 5-10 waiting for it to bounce back. That being said, if you’re ready for it and it’s right for your life situation then it can still be a good decision
I pay $1,800 a month for my mortgage and HOA combined.
In this calculation, rent should be slightly lower than the mortgage payment. If I had to put an estimate for the "alternative investments", it would be something along the lines of 70% of the mortgage payment would make them equal (this keeps the 30 year appreciation of the home in line with the opportunity cost of the down payment and any extra hidden expenses and fees).
But honestly, anyone doing this calculation, should just keep renting, and not buying, as its likely they are buying for "FOMO" than actually wanting a house and committing to it.
This is more of a "am I ready to buy" or "is this a good investment" calculation rather than a "should I buy this house", calculation (because this one is straight forward).
Can never time the market. Buy if you have 20% down and can afford
Sadly many people get caught up timing the housing market and fear mongering by other click bait channels
If you buy below your means using a low down option is fine on your first. Just make sure you plan on staying for like 5+ years
In the current economic climate, a home is not the best investment. I've already sold my Boca Grande area home, but I want to invest roughly $200,000 in stocks since I've heard that even in challenging times, investors may turn a profit. Any excellent ideas for stocks?
The truth is that if you make the right picks, you could make killer riches very quickly, although such profit usually needs expertise, as in hedge funds or financial managers. I personally prefer the latter.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advlsor, I currently have $985k in a well-diversified portfollo that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in st0cks, but you also need to be knowledgeable.

My adviser is "Annette Christine Conte" You can easily look her up. She has years of financial market experience and she is also FINRA & SEC verifiable.
I just looked up this person out of curiosity, and surprisingly she seems really proficient. I thought this was just some overrated BS, I appreciate this.
Honestly my view is if this whole tariff bit comes to fruition in the years to come, housing will be one of the only things that will not be affected, but there will be landlords raising their rents to cover their own tariff costs of goods needed for maintenance and their own livelihood which in turn house prices will go up.
After doing the calculations, no. But if the right house comes along... I wouldn't mind it, I can pretty much afford most of the houses I was looking at, but none of them spoke to me.
Every home purchase is deal specific. Motivated seller, off-market, equity capture, strategic value-add , repurpose, etc. The "market environment " matters not.
4:01 I’m not stuck in limbo while waiting. I have my money in the stock market, and it is growing very nicely. More than double in the last 2 years, meanwhile house prices have been flat.
That doesn’t mean I’ll never buy a house, but it means I can afford to be picky because the alternative is pretty dang good.
Me and wife make maybe 110k @27 yrs old. Should we look to buy in tn or keep renting rn
I understand it probably won't be a good idea to buy unless you know you can stay in it for 3+ or 5+ years, but with the current job situation, how would you ever be certain?

Hi I work 3 jobs one full time and two part time. If I have been at my full time for two years and one part time job for a year and half and the other part time job for 6 months could I use all three jobs as my source of income? Thanks
Its ok to buy a house if you are a growing family...but if you view it as an investment, definitely just dump that money into stocks. Its bull market time and there's so much potential upside atm than fighting your interest rate and being house poor.

I make close to 100k gross in California , with no debt all my cards been paid off. Have a little for the down plus what’s in 401k , I also have investments but I rather not touch, what do you recommend Javi
Bought a town home using va loan in one of the most expensive real estate cities in the U.S I got in mid 5 percent apr. I thought If I don't buy now I would of never bought it if you ready to buy, go if you get good rate. If you go by Dave Ramsey's advice, you will never get out of your parent's home or apartment.
I make 150$k
But I do not trust jobs and I do not want to pay 3000 a month. I’d rather live at home and save my 6000 monthly and I’m happy even though it’s embarrassing that I’m 46 and live at
Michael Bordenaro will be in Arizona soon.
The only factors i concern myself with is House price and location, until housing prices crash i will not even consider it
What if you bought on May ?
I thought high interest rates would bring down home prices but it didn’t. So now it’s business as usual if you can afford it buy a house
Dammit Javi, I was trying SO HARD not to get tacos today 😤
Too many variables, climate change affecting insurance prices, elevated interest rates and the home shortage if ever alleviated will put downward pressure on home prices not to mention the cost of repair and maintaining right now on top of that.
I recently reached out to a real estate agent and went through the whole pre-approval process. Now that I know what I qualify for I want to wait another year or two. Save some more money and pay down some more debt. I feel find of bad. Im not sure how to break it to the realtor. I dont want to waste anyones time. Any advice?
following, I’m in the same boat!
honestly just call them up and tell them exactly that. I promise you they won't take it personally. If they do, then that wasn't the right agent for you anyway.
Good advice
Can you talk about renting out your property? 😊
Can I afford 250k house with va loan if i bring in 6300 monthly post taxes? I have a property tax exemption but to use it i have to buy a house first then apply at town hall for the tax cut so I'll pay taxes for the first year and they're like 600 a month in CT. 2400 of that income is housing allowance while I go to school it last for four years but is not considered income for buying power. Also have 30k total on the dot for emergancy/closing/earnest money
Also after hard credit pull it's 721and I do have strong reasons for buying as soon as possible if it makes sense budget wise
Just Say NO! I don't care who you are or how much money you have. Bring the prices down.
I haven't watch the video but I already know Javier's answer...
This guy speaks directly to the brokies to let them know they can’t buy a house.
Have you gone flat rate yet?
Wife and myself combined should be at about $165k/yr
We invest about $37,000/yr
We have a good emergency fund, and two reliable cars.
I still dont feel like damn near doubling my rent cost of $1,550/mo to around $3,000/mo (before utilities) just to buy a house...
So if we can't afford to buy comfortably, who can? Maybe we invest too much, but I dont really care to change those habits.
I bought a 2 bed, 2 bath townhome on 60k a year with a mortgage and HOA combined of $1,800. 😂
@BREEZYM6015 You found a good deal, good for you man 🤙🏻
I'm in Phoenix and the housing market is stuck at about $440,000 average for a house that I deem "worth spending money on."
I would say that you are not investing enough. When I was married in the 1990s, our income was less than yours is now & we were saving well over $37,000 per year!
@@janereinhardt4715 Cost of living is much higher than 1990, so if I invest more, I will get to enjoy nothing and I'd might as well end it now if that's the case.
I invest into aggressive ETFs only. Long play, higher volatility, speculation is to have 2.5-3mil by the time I'm at age 50-55.
If I invest more, I'll have no money left for purchasing anything, let alone a house.
Then dont buy
But I really do want to be your friend and eat tacos together. Maybe pick a random subscriber and interview them about a housing purchase, 1 year or 5 years in. Regrets. Opportunities. Etc
I can't figure out how much my monthly payment would be. All these online calculators involve so many assumptions.
You will never know your monthly payment until you are about to sign the paperwork. Many factors go into that payment and if you can’t figure out what is involved, I recommend you continue your home buying education and find that info out. Best of luck !
Near record prices & high interest rates yep buy I get 3-5x commission 😂
Asking a real estate agent when to buy is like asking a car salesman if it’s a good time to buy a car. But occasionally you get a good one like you lol 😂

You should buy a house now or very soon. It is not going to get any cheaper.
Banks messed up the whole market lowering interest rates
Sure go ahead and buy a house at historically high prices with a high interest rate to boot. All the realtors say this is your last opportunity to buy before it's too late 😂
I just bought a home and put nothing down good time for me
Buying a home with putting nothing down will cost you an extra 30k through the life of the mortgage.

Can't afford rent, can't afford to buy...
Me and my wife make around 210K in South Dakota, we also have around 50K for down payments and my wife really likes to buy a house but i can’t mentally handle the 3000$ monthly payment even we take home around 13k in a month and we have 1200$ monthly payments on our cars and student loans all together, I really don’t know how to become mentally comfortable with this payment!
Pay all the bills and cars first and do not buy new cars. Than it would be easier to save more and put more downpayment so you do not have a high downpayment. Eventually, you could hopefully refinance and or just try to pay the house off asap. 🤷♀️
Damn your take home is our gross 😂 we have a $2650 payment. It's not bad at all
Honestly do an FHA and put the 50k into investments. The PMI you pay isn't that bad..
