Here’s what happening today: CNBC now reports that - in June - new listings increased 5.5% year over year and 10.9% month over month compared with May…which means, there’s more inventory starting to come on the market for buyers to chose from, and that’s a sign of relief for the entire housing market.
However, EVEN THOUGH it’s an improvement…housing prices are still up 12.7% compared to a year ago. Inventory is still DOWN over 43% since June of last year…and nationally, the typically home is only the market for 37 days, compared with 72 days during the same time in 2020. And even though more inventory is coming on the market…listing prices are STILL going up, meaning that there’s no shortage of buyers out there - paying whatever they can to get a deal.
That’s led to record high housing prices, that even the CEO of JPMorgan recently said is “ a little bit of a bubble….BUT, the situation isn't as severe as in 2008 when there was a lot more leverage and poor underwriting standards.”
Fundamentally, there’s nothing that’s happening that “THE MARKET IS GOING TO COME CRASHING DOWN” - so, for everyone who’s waiting for that to happen - it would need to take a BLACK SWAN event that no one could predict to collapse housing values.
Today, buyers are EXTREMELY qualified, they’re putting down a significant amount of money, they’re locking themselves in to historically low rates, and - most importantly - they can afford their payments. That would prevent us from seeing a “Wave Of Foreclosures” like some articles suggest.
However, there’s certainly some concern about mortgage forbearance potentially dropping TENS OF THOUSANDS of homes all on the market at the exact same time…but, here's the reality:
The amount of homeowners claiming mortgage forbearance has been consistently declining month after month - suggesting that homeowners are resuming their payments, and moving on as normal. And for the homeowners who CAN’T make their payments - at the moment, they’re most likely able to list and sell their home for a profit - and then walk away with money in their pocket. For a home to go in foreclosure, the buyer has to owe MORE MONEY to the bank than what the home is worth - and, with record high home prices and record high homeowner equity - only 2% of all mortgaged properties fall in that category. That’s it. So, the chances of ALL of them foreclosing - all at the exact same time - just isn’t going to happen.
Instead, REALISTICALLY - I think the biggest risk to high home prices is increasing interest rates - which, we know is going to happen in the next 24 months. Next, decreasing building materials - which, again, is already starting to come down. Increased inventory - again, we’re now starting to see that. And increased building…which, is slowly starting to ramp back up.
Until then, we just need to keep an eye on inventory - housing prices could VERY WELL continue to trend higher if demand stays the same, but artificial factors like HIGH BUILDING MATERIALS will INEVITABLY come down over the next 12-24 months.

What's up, graham, it's guys here so to give you some context. Just over a year ago, people were buying up as much toilet paper as they could emptying it from shelves and causing the price to skyrocket as high as a hundred dollars a roll. Well, as you would expect that turned out to be a stinky investment and since then, prices have flushed back down and now toilet paper prices are being sold at a price. That's well relieving pun intended, although today some say we're dealing with something kind of similar except a lot more expensive in the housing market, where we may have officially reached the ridiculous stage, like the wall street journal reports that the housing market is crazier than it's been Since 2006, another says the housing market is on fire and the fed keeps adding gasoline, and a third says that this is the craziest market in 30 years.

However, that actually might soon start to change as cnbc reports that the epic housing shortage may finally be starting to lift as a surprising number of new listings hit. The market in june. Lumber has also started to come down significantly down over 40 month over month and today, pending home sales are surging higher, while economists now say that the housing market could soon hit bottom. So let's talk about what's going on in the craziest housing market that i have ever seen, whether or not it's a smart idea to wait it out and if we've actually reached a peak before prices begin to bottom.

That was another toilet paper bun. But before we go into that, it would help me out a ton if we got that like button to a peak by smashing it for the youtube algorithm or actually how about this. If you hit the like button, i promise you. I will not make any more bad toilet puns throughout the entire video.

That's fair! So thank you guys so much and with that said, let's begin all right as a super brief background. It's no surprise why the housing market rose in price so quickly to begin with, and the first reason is low interest rates. This just means that the monthly cost of your mortgage goes down, while you're able to qualify for an even bigger loan, which, coincidentally, drives up the price of housing to the point where your payment stays pretty much. The exact same, for example, go and get a 300 000 mortgage at a 4 interest rate and your payment is going to be 1432 a month.

But if interest rates then drop to three percent and all that excess demand pushes the price of the home to 340 000. Well, congratulations! You just played yourself because now, with an even bigger mortgage, your payment is still the exact same thing. So, even though you might think that low interest rates help they do, but only if housing prices don't rise accordingly, which they have the second. You also have record low inventory, as the pandemic began to take shape.

Last year, fewer properties were listed on the market for sale. Realtors had a difficult time showing homes and sellers preferred to take their home off the market and stay put rather than risk. Putting their health at risk. Combine that with record low interest rates and a flurry of buyers willing to pay whatever they can, no matter what the cost is and that further perpetuates an even more limited supply that keeps pushing prices higher a third something new we have not mentioned, but you also Have record low construction rates throughout the entire country simply put a lot of the builders weren't sure of how the pandemic would unfold and they temporarily put their projects on pause while they dealt with economic uncertainty in a shortage of labor.
Obviously, construction is a career that can't be done remotely and when measures were put in place to prevent people from going into a job that caused new construction to decline by 25, not to mention those projects often take a year or more until completion. So we're facing a severe backlog of homes that have since been delayed, and then fourth, we have the increased cost of building materials. In the last year, lumber prices have increased as much as 400 percent, adding on roughly 36 000 to the cost of buying a new home, and the increased cost of materials does not apply to just wood supply chain. Issues in limited capacity also raise the cost of installation, steel, plumbing fixtures, paint stone and everything else it takes to build a house.

So what winds up happening is all that increased cost gets passed on to you as the customer. In fact, the study found that homes went up an average of 18. Just from that alone, i say all of this, because the reality is, these conditions cannot last indefinitely. At some point, interest rates are likely to go back up at some point.

It's going to be a buyer's market again. At some point, building materials will come down in price and now it's beginning to look like it's happening a bit sooner than we expected all right. So here's what's happening today, cnbc now reports that in june, new listings have increased five and a half percent year over year and ten point nine percent month over month compared with may, which means there's now more inventory coming in the market for buyers to choose from And that's a relief for the entire housing market. However, even though it is an improvement, housing prices are still up 12.7 nationally compared to a year ago.

Inventory is also still down 43 since june of last year and nationally, the typical home is only on the market. For 37 days, compared with 72 days during the same time, in 2020, and even though more inventory is coming in the market, listing prices are still going up, indicating that there's still no shortage of buyers out there willing to pay whatever they can just to get themselves. A house this is further amplified by cnn, who reports that the housing market is still on fire and the fed keeps adding gasoline. That's because the federal reserve has continued to support record low interest rates which drove the housing market way higher than it would be normally in the process.
First-Time buyers are out priced to the market and that further worsens income inequality between those that can afford to buy a house and those that can't that's led to record high housing prices. That even the ceo of jp morgan says, is a little in a bubble. But the situation is not as severe as in 2008 when there was a lot more leverage and poor underwriting standards, but, as we all know, these conditions just can't last forever. So how much longer do we have to wait until prices start coming back down? Well, on a broad scale in terms of the market going down in price, there's actually some good news, if you're in the market, to buy something.

That's because first, pending home sales increased eight percent leading economists to believe that maybe housing prices are gon na start to come back down. The chief economist of the national association of realtors predicted that more homes will be listed in the latter half of the year, which would help slow the pace of home price growth. Second, we also got to take a look at mortgage applications. Analysts say that, in order to get a good idea of where home prices are going, you need to take a look at mortgage applications, because future sales are a direct result of how many people are out there currently applying for a new loan and just recently mortgage Applications have fallen to the lowest level in a year, indicating that first-time home buyers are getting squeezed out of the market due to a lack of entry-level homes for sale.

Now, before you go off on me, because that doesn't sound exactly like a price drop, economists say that this could very well mean that prices are soon hitting a peak and that sales will soon hit bottom. Given the flattening and mortgage demand over the past couple of months, the third lumber prices did end up dropping 40 in june, which is the biggest monthly drop on record. This they say was partially due to the reopening, as americans are going outside and taking vacations. Instead of completing home renovation projects and building, they also say that supply chains begin working properly again, lumber prices should continue to fall and all of those increased costs throughout the last year should begin to subside and then fourth, like i mentioned, more inventory on the market, Means more competition for sellers and more selection for buyers to choose from this also solves a really unique problem, because a lot of sellers refuse to list their homes on the market because they have nowhere to move to, because there's no inventory on the market to begin With, although as more people list their homes, that should encourage other people to list their homes which might encourage other people to list their homes, and that will help the market.
But even though housing materials are coming down, mortgage applications are slowing and inventory is going up. Does that actually mean we're gon na see a drop in housing prices? Well, not so fast, even though things are starting to look better, that does not mean that housing won't remain somewhat expensive. For example, first strict building code regulations means that fewer homes are going to be built, leading to a housing shortage across the country and a constantly dwindling supply since 2006.. That's something that's unlikely to change anytime soon, even if we do start seeing more inventory come on the market.

The second interest rates are expected to stay low for another year or two like just recently. The federal reserve noted that inflation came in a little bit higher than expected and because of that, they're ready to increase interest rates sooner than they initially anticipated. They still maintain that the inflation we're seeing today is transitionary. It's mainly due to a result of excess demand.

Combined with supply chain issues like our lumber example and that they still plan to keep rates low, although we may see an uptick in 2023, this means that real estate may continue to be very competitive throughout the next year or two, at least until interest rates start To have an impact on the market, the third, from all of this, the mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac forecast that housing prices will rise, eight percent in 2021, before slowing down to 2.9 percent in 2022.. The zillow is a little bit more ambitious when it comes to this, believing that housing prices could rise. Another 14.9 percent year over year and fourth, i never thought i would say something like this, but because materials are beginning to come down in price. Builders are purposely slowing down their projects in order to wait for their materials to decline, otherwise they risk putting themselves in a position where they overpay the cost of materials.

They extend themselves further than needed and then, by the time the home is actually ready for sale. Those materials have gone down in price and they need to make up the difference. Builders are now starting to say that it's better to wait a year to buy until home prices begin to subside and yeah. We've officially entered the twilight zone when builders are telling you not to buy what they have.

They've also encountered issues keeping their homes on budget, noting that they can't price a home at a time of wildly fluctuating prices. It's also said that at the current pace, the number of houses on the market nationwide won't reach normal levels for about 14 months, all things being equal and that the most important metric we could start looking at today is inventory, which, as we could see, is starting To go back up so i know all of this is confusing and you just want to know: is the market going up or is the market going down? So here's my take on it coming from the perspective of someone who's worked full-time in real estate since 2008 and is someone who owns eight properties across the west coast. Well, fundamentally, there's really nothing out there that screams that the market is going to come crashing down. So for everyone who's waiting for a crash to happen, it would probably have to take a black swan event that no one could predict that would collapse.
Housing values like back in 2008. The housing market was completely shattered by over-leveraged borrowers, who could not sustain their housing payments and were given more than they could handle by banks who wanted to package up all these loans and sell them to investors who are hungry for cash. Today, though, buyers are extremely qualified they're putting down a lot of money, they're, locking in historically low interest rates and, most importantly, they could afford the monthly payment. That's going to prevent us from seeing a wave of foreclosures like some of these articles say.

However, there certainly is some concern about the end of mortgage forbearance, potentially dropping tens of thousands of homes on the market, all at the exact same time and here's the reality. The amount of homeowners currently in forbearance has been steadily declining month after month, suggesting that the majority of homeowners are beginning to resume their payments as normal and for any homeowners who cannot make their payment most likely. They would be able to list their homes on the market and sell it for a profit and then walk away with the excess cash. In order for a home to really go into foreclosure.

The buyer has to owe more money to the bank than what the home is actually worth. Only two percent of all mortgage properties fall in that category. That's it so the chances of all of them foreclosing all at the exact same time, is pretty much not going to happen instead. Realistically, i think the biggest risk to housing prices is likely going to be rising interest rates, which is said to happen in about 24 months.

In the interim, though, building materials have already started to come down in price, we're also starting to see increased, inventory and also increased building, which is slowly going to soften the housing market. Until then, we just got to keep an eye on inventory. The truth is housing. Prices could very well continue to rise if demand stays exactly the same, but artificial factors like high building materials will inevitably start to come down between now and the next 12 to 18 months.

That means, as all of these analysts have predicted, the housing market could sustain an upward momentum, but it's likely to start slowing down as the coveted market comes to an end. To me, i just don't see anything pointing to a crash, but i do see a lot of things that i believe will start to normalize housing prices and that, i think, is a good thing plus. If i were to guess, rental prices would probably be the next thing to start going up, since so many people are sitting on the sidelines just out priced from the housing market, rental demand is probably going to continue going up, like rents, have typically lagged sale prices Throughout the entire pandemic, and now we're just starting to see a rental price uptick, as people begin to return back to work, just a heads up for anybody thinking of locking themselves into a lease because, as everything gets more expensive, unfortunately, your rent could be the next Thing going up so with that said, you guys thank you so much for watching.

    Venturing into the trading world without the help of a professional trader and expecting profits is like turning water into wine, you would need a miracle, that's why i trade with Magdalena Ferguson, her skills set is exceptional.

    Trading with an expert is really beneficial this will help you avoid losing your money on the trading market. I also trade with Mrs. Magdalena Ferguson and my portfolio has grown tremendously.

    A wise person should know that in order to build success, you should invest wisely and have proper knowledge or guide in the finance market.

    Thanks for the video Graham. I sold my house to buy a bigger better home and I’ve been debating waiting and feeling like I’m buying at the historically worst time, but I feel better about it now. I think inflation is going to run further than income can compensate and that locking in a low interest rate on a home I know I can afford is the smartest choice. ✌️

    History demonstrated that we don't understand the housing market! Some say it will crash and some say it will continue to rise. One side will be right and one side will be wrong

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Tran says:

    The biggest difference is people who are buying houses are qualified and have the money to back it up. Not many people are buying a house with false information on income. No one is buying a house with zero down. Is the market going to have a correction? Of course! Wages can’t keep up with the the increase in price. Will there be a 2008 crash? I don’t think so. 2008 was a once in a lifetime event.

    During covid you’d see a lot of the rural homes selling for $50-100k over asking price as lots of people were working from home. Now that people have to go back to the office again, listing prices of rural properties are tanking nicely.

    I’m thinking in 12 months prices will come back down to reality. Lumber prices come down, prices of new homes should follow. Used home prices will also follow — truth is, why buy a 20 year old 4000sq ft home, when you can get a brand new one for cheaper? Lol

    I wouldn't buy a house right now until it dumps by at least 50 to 25 percent, its too crazy to take the bag from someone who was willing to pay a crazy amount for a house right now.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ms Gen Xodus says:

    I've noticed that zesitmates are consistently higher than the list prices in my region (Portland, OR). My lease is up at the end of September and I'm trying to decide if I should take another long term lease with a very modest increase in rent or take a higher rent rate on a month to month lease and get back to looking to buy a home.

    Interestingly, Oregon considered home builders to be "essential workers" and never shut down construction job sites at all. My spouse and I both work in the construction industry (he manages multifamily construction projects, I sell kitchen cabinetry).

    I'm unconcerned with rent increases as the state of Oregon has a cap on rent increases annually. The city center is emptying out due to the political unrest and landlords are loathe to lose good tenants like me who are quiet, care for the property above and beyond what is expected, and always pay rent and utilities early every month (I get a discount for early rent payment, it's stupid to not take an offered discount!).
