There will be some markets hit hard soon. Here in the greater Memphis
area after 2008 a lot of houses were in limbo. Price drops left owners
under water. And they stayed that way up till 2017. Some suburbs were
fine, others in deep trouble. The owners either let them go into foreclosure
or rented them out when they had to move. It switched almost overnight
at the beginning of 2017. All the bank houses disappeared.
I don't think it will be as bad this time. New stuff like the F150 plant will
keep stuff on the East side of the county in demand. Workers moving in
from other parts of the country are going to love local home prices.
Utility costs like power and water are cheaper too. No state income
tax either. Unlike Dallas, you're not going to get a $300 water bill in July.

3 graphs of recent housing market trends...
Surprisingly, the Charlotte market still only has a 21day supply (up from a 1 to 2 week supply) and most homes sell within 13 days and still over market value. For now...
One of our leading causes for not being like some other areas of the country are because of an influx of buyers from California, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Given they are back to the same mortgage tricks of 2007,
don't hold your breath. Most of the financial reforms of 2009
were quietly repealed. A soft landing is going to be hard
to pull off."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -

Well, why not ? I mean if your deemed too big to fail and the government will bail you out if things go south...what do you have to lose?

Just so the thread makes sense?
A banned member posted something that I actually agreed upon.
That member is now gone, along with his posts. Some of the other posts on this thread *may* no longer make sense but it is what it is.
Carry on...

Okay, y'all...
Now that the fun is over and the pesky fly has all but been eradicated?
Time to get seriously back to the situation at hand.
The housing market has taken a turn for the worse (as predicted). There are a plethora of articles pointing one way or another but just look at your own house value. Has it gone up in the past 30 days or down?
We have gone from people buying houses, sight unseen, houses selling multiple thousands to multiple tens of thousands over list price (for a non-uber home, mind you), long lines and appointment only showings to....
Houses now dramatically reducing in asking price...only to sit once again. Investment companies coming to seemingly a complete halt. It seems they are just selling the properties they have or are completely unloading them with the bare minimum done to them.
I had an interesting conversation with my flooring folks today. "Usually", I call and they have an install crew out there the next day. Even if I call them at 4:00pm the day before. No worries. I get flooring the next day.....so I call my guy and I he proceeds to tell me that next Wednesday is the earliest he has available.
WHAT?
He stated that he has seen a current trend. When interest rates go up? He gets slammed for 3 weeks. People are not wanting to fix jack ****, they just want to make a property look as good as it can and dump it. After that? business as usual. So, be wary (f you are in the market right now) of a crappy house with a brand new floor. They are most likely covering something up - - NO pun intended. In fact, that's a warning....or a red flag, if you will.
The times are-a-changin' and hold on to your hats because while this may be a repeat of the '07 crash....or it may not? Many things have changed since then and the investment companies have put a major dent into the market.
Rental prices may go up, many investment companies will fold (IMO). While I do not see a repeat of '07? There will be (as John stated in the OP), a crash. This crash will not be like the others. Wall street is involved now. Many different players and with interest rates seemingly on a trajectory like that of gas prices last year?
You put two and two together.
In the meantime? Watch what happens in your own neck of the woods and what happens to your own home value/ease of selling/the economy/new builds/etc. ect....

I read a news story the other day that the interest on a current 30-year, fixed rate average for a mortgage is 6.02%.
The last time interest rates were that high was in 2008.
In 2022 the average monthly payment for a 30-year mortgage (principal, interest, and private mortgage insurance) is nearly $2,430, based on a median house price of $406,890 and a 10% down payment.
About a year ago, the average monthly payment would have been only $1,610 per month, based on a 2.86 percent mortgage rate and a median house price of about $375,410 and a 10% down payment.
Slap runaway inflation down on that and you're going to see people over-paying drastically for a junk house or renters galore. This is the first time in my memory that it's actually cheaper to rent. For a little bit, anyway. Until the rental market catches up and aspiring land lords start dumping extra cash into investment properties and then jack up the rent to cover the mortgage.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Lots of truth in the last few posts, the wildcard being....wages are not going to keep up as they never do. Businesses will suffer, the consumer in general will suffer.You drive middle America into the poor house.
Then what ?

Then I guess their plan is working just the way they want it to. -
I see a bunch of rental houses in the neighborhood vacant. A couple have been most of the year.
My guess is the rental price is too high. If all the LLC's that bought them get a cash flow problem,
thing's are going to get dicey in a hurry. There is one huge one that sticks out. Grass mowing
Has fallen into neglect. They mow about once a month, no edge trimming at all. Grass by the
Curb is starting to look like a bad comb over."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -
Yeah, property maintenance on vacant houses that have either just been built or were bought and put up for rent has been pretty lax around here too.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

According to Zillow, my house is worth $3400 less than it was a month ago.
Maybe I should cut the grass?So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
