The housing market is one of the largest contributors to wealth in people's lives. The average net worth of a homeowner after all, is nearly 20 times that of a tenant and a fall in home. Prices are expected to destroy already low consumer confidence and lead to less spending potentially pushing us into a recession. We already know that for every one hundred thousand dollars in net worth someone loses, they tend to spend two thousand to three thousand dollars less per year.

A statistic that is very concerning given that, together in the united states, we have amassed a 43.4 trillion dollar housing market and folks, let this be a warning to you. The housing market disaster just got worse now sure you might be thinking come on home prices are at record highs like what do you mean things have getting worse? It sounds pretty good. Well, that's what you're going to learn in this video first you're going to see why the fed is fueling the fire to destroy housing and actually increase inflation before they decrease it, which is a substantial irony. Then you'll see the cracks forming in the housing market.

I'll give you evidence with what home builders are telling you right now and you'll learn what to watch for so that way, you can be in a position to profit. First, let's talk about and learn about, inertial inflation and its impact on the federal reserve and how it ironically, can increase inflation before it can lead inflation to go down and how it crushes the housing market. The federal reserve has already raised rates to one and a half a percent at the fed funds rate and we're now expecting the fed to raise rates all the way up to three and a half to four and a quarter percent, potentially all in an effort to Stamp out inflation they're now, mostly single mandate, goal and inflation at all costs, even if that means the destruction of wealth of americans and potentially even twice the joblessness rate we face that we have today, but folks, there's a fundamental flaw in the way that inflation is Calculated 33 percent of inflation is awaited on, what's known as owner's equivalent rents to try to get an understanding as to what people's housing expenses and how their housing expenses are changing over time. However, this reported rent does not accurately reflect what market rents are.

In fact, there's a very clear lag between market rents, increasing and owner's equivalent rents. Increasing most research, including the projection chart on screen from jpmorgan, suggests that owner's equivalent rents lag by about six months, and this creates really massive issues in a board of governors. Discussion paper by the federal reserve, titled monetary policy, housing rents and inflation dynamics. We learned of something very ugly that, when the fed tries to get inflation under control by raising rates, they have the effect of increasing mortgage rates that can drive more people to rent properties, driving up the cost of rent, while reducing the availability of homes for rent.

Again contributing to an increase in the cost of rent, then, six months later, higher rents show up in cpi inflation, and this is the substantial irony that the more the fed raises rates, the more people are driven to renting and not buying, because buying becomes substantially unaffordable And now the fed is actually driving up something that has a one-third weight in inflation. So, even if airfares were to come down or even if apparel or used car prices came down, leading inflation to come down, they might be immediately offset by increases in the owner's equivalent rents, which is sort of a misleading way of measuring housing and rent inflation. Anyway. But this is ironic again when the federal reserve - and we know this when the federal reserve raises rates - buyers, lose purchasing power to the tune of about 10 percent per 1 percent increase in mortgage rates.

So if mortgage rates go up, 3 percent buyers lose about 30 percent in purchasing power, but if, at the same time, the federal reserve is actually driving up one of the heaviest weights in the inflation basket, then the fed is actually creating more pain in the short Term, by raising rates, driving up the costs of rent, also driving up the cost of producing goods again via increased wholesale prices, credit lines - you name it, and so what ends up happening before things get better things get worse, and that could lead the federal reserve to Raise mortgage rates even more than they actually need to leading the housing market to experience, even more pain and folks the cracks are everywhere. Yesterday lennar reported earnings. They are the second largest home builder in the united states. That's been building homes for almost 70 years.

Take a look at some of the sections from the lennar earnings call.

It's a program on building your long-term wealth and, let me tell you the cracks are here folks: the cracks are here, and this is why this is the most opportune time to get educated in real estate.

Take a look at this report from lennar. This report from lennar is out from june 21st 2022. It's a very recent look into the housing market and, what's happening, take a listen to what lennar the second largest home builder in the united states is telling you quote. So far in june, new orders, traffic sales incentives and cancellations have worsened in when, in many of our markets, do the rapid spike in mortgage rates and headwinds from negative economic headlines, and the pain falls under three categories: category one minimal impacts, category 2, modest impacts and Category 3 significant impacts, take a look at category 1, florida jersey, maryland, charlotte indianapolis, chicago dallas, houston, san antonio phoenix, san, diego orange county and the inland empire.

All of these markets have benefited from extremely low inventory, and many of them are benefiting from a strong local economy, employment, growth and then migration, and while these markets continue to be strong, here's your crack. Our sales pace and purchasing power has started to flatten or has flattened in each of these markets. So, even though these are hot markets with low inventory, purchasing power has flattened or is flattening. These are the good markets, category 2 markets.

This is where things start getting worse: atlanta, colorado, charleston, myrtle, beach, nashville, philadelphia, virginia the bay area, reno and salt lake city. In each of these markets, traffic is slow and we've seen an uptick in cancellation rates and they're now having to offer more aggressive financing. Now, one of the most important things to know about a home builder is that home builders don't like lowering prices. So when they lower prices, you know things are bad.

They would rather give you what are called builder incentives such as buying down your mortgage with incentive, aggressive financing programs, or by giving you more incentives to spend money on improvements for your property. And so when they're talking about targeted price reductions selectively. Reducing our sales prices. To solve for a mortgage payment that works for the buyers and now they're trying to sell you on a payment.

You know we have issues: category free market, more significant market softening and correction, including areas like raleigh, minnesota, austin, texas, los angeles, central valley, sacramento and seattle. Raleigh was an extremely strong market, but softened significantly at the beginning of june. These cracks are just now starting people keep talking about how great the housing market is. You know how great it's been so far.

Even this year, oh it's holding up great. The cracks are just now beginning. Take a look at this. As a result, we have room for needed future pricing adjustments because prices have gone up, but look at the minnesota market.

It's been very challenging. Buyers have always been conservative in this market, and rates have increased, but there's now been a strong pushback against the current pricing. This is a problem and they now see strong price reductions. Austin, texas, higher rates in june and headlines on the stock market declines, have distressed the national economy, sidelining many buyers who are waiting for a reset in home values and, while inventory is limited right, the biggest argument that everybody keeps saying.

Oh real estate can't go down because inventory is limited: oh yeah, well, what's happening in austin, cancellation rates have increased and we've reduced home prices in many communities on a home by home basis and have offered extremely competitive mortgage programs. These pricing adjustments are starting to generate increased sales activity, but again they're having to drop prices. Take a look at this los angeles, central valley and sacramento extremely credit, challenged buyers with cancellation rates increasing, and what do we have in the q? A well one of the executives at lennar telling you, at the end of the day, we're probably going to push more people from home ownership towards renting. That means multi-family traditional multifamily, as well as single-family homes for rent and again exactly why you want to become an expert real estate investor, because the opportunities for rents going up and prices going down are an opportunity to make money and to build your wealth.

Your long-term wealth, but wait a minute is this just happening in the united states? No, of course not take a look at the index for frothy markets throughout the world. The united states ranks seventh with a price to rent ratio of 139 and a price to income ratio of 135.. New zealand tops the list followed by the czech republic, australia, canada, portugal, folks. This is a global issue and why this is happening should be obvious.

More than 60 central banks around the world have raised rates this year and they're not on pace to slow down their rate hikes anytime soon. Even jerome powell, the chairperson of the federal reserve, said today that home prices are quote unsustainably high in front of congress and sees no chance that home price appreciation doesn't slow if not potentially lead to a fall in home prices. He went as far as saying this to first-time home buyers. Just last week, i would say: if you're, if you're a home buyer somebody or a young person looking to buy a home, you need a bit of a reset.

We we need to get back to a place where, where supply and demand are, are back together and where inflation is down low, again and mortgages or mortgage rates are low again. So this this will be a process whereby we, ideally we we do our work in a way that where the housing market settles in a new place and housing, availability and credit availability are at appropriate levels. Redfin just reported that at the end of the year, 61.6 percent of people could afford a home on a 2500 per month budget. Today, only 45.6 percent of homes are affordable.

With this budget, throughout the entire united states and in phoenix, only 21.5 percent of homes are affordable. Of course, the same argument that is made that oh housing can't fall, it won't fall. It'll continue to rise is one that increasingly seems unlikely. Those who suggest that well but kevin there are more households or more people in buying age or in the buying age today than there were in the mid-2000s.

Conveniently forget that homes are now 60 more expensive than the mid-2000s and in many cases, double to triple what we had seen previously, but also that home prices have substantially outpaced increases in incomes with home prices. On average, 20 percent, more than incomes have risen. Supply chains have also created another potential disaster for home builders. Take the dallas texas market, for example.

There are now twice as many homes in construction in the dallas market than at any point in the past. This is partially due to massive supply chain, led delays that have stalled the building process as home builders waited for garage doors or even appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers, or windows or doors. You name it that temporarily depressed housing inventory towards the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, but as that inventory comes online towards the end of 2022. At the same time as interest rates are now four percentage points higher than where they were in the past.

That is the recent past just december. We could expect a disaster of a flood of inventory just at the wrong time when rates are high, so what's likely to happen well, first, multiple offers go away. Redfin has already reported that the share of multiple offers per home is going down. Second, we start seeing price drops on active listings nationwide we've seen a substantial impact in the number of homes with price drops.

You can take a look at this yourself, but just looking at the redfin data center look at the redfin data center of percent of active listings with price drops in the entire united states average, together on a rolling four-week average. This means it's even worse, probably now and this data right here as of about 10 days ago. It updates about every two weeks, but take a look at this. This black line here is 2022 and we are seeing substantial price drops more than we have ever before.

In the last four years, this is how it begins. Folks, price drops what happens after price drops more stagnant listings. This is a sudden and stark transition, and, after these price drops come of course, inventory stagnating and building up that is less home selling every single month. Despite price drops more homes sitting on the market, then we'll actually eventually start to see home prices fall and see.

The thing about real estate is real estate. Moves very slowly. Homes are appraised based on previous month's sales, so it could take three to six months. Sometimes even longer to actually see home prices be affected, that's because people buying in march look at what people paid for their homes in january and think maybe they're getting a good deal in march, because they're paying the same price and prices haven't gone up.

But oh wait a minute. The person buying in january had a two and a half percent mortgage. The person buying in march had a four and a half percent mortgage. The person buying in june had a six and a half percent mortgage prices will come down.

Even agents can feel it happening immediately with more buyer, anxiety, cancellations and lower offers and we're seeing it in the data as well. Once prices start to drop, there's then the fear that mainstream media will over dramatize the drop and potentially lead to more selling or panic selling now some say, but who would move? Because if you sell you're, just gon na have to rebuy again at a higher interest rate, it's the most common question i get asked. But folks who ask this question, don't understand how real estate works. There are plenty of people who sell homes every single day and don't buy another home, in fact, as a real estate agent, maybe one in ten of my home sales was somebody who was selling to buy another home.

That's because some people retire. They move into an existing property that they own an existing rental property. They move in with family or maybe they're a second home seller, raising money to buy other assets or sit in cash or they're investors who straight up don't have to rebuy, because they're a mom and pop landlord or they're a hedge fund. These are companies that or people who do not have to rebuy when they sell some people also just decide, i'm going to sell on purpose and go rent and they contribute to rent prices going up.

So what should you do? Well, first, get educated as prices fall. You need to educate yourself, prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime to buy real estate and depressed values, learn how to identify deals and work with people. Real estate is a people business and, if you're not aware of the tricks of real estate, you can learn everything linked down below with the 50 off coupon code, expiring. In a few days before, prices rise again - and you can join me in private - live streams where we talk not only about the market but about what i'm doing in real estate and we analyze deals together.

Second, should you short home builders or the real estate sector? Possibly, according to bloomberg the msci world index, the real estate sector of the s, p, 500 or the msci world real estate index still sits above its 10-year average. That means real estate. Prices in the stock market still actually have a substantial amount of froth left in them, even though many home builder stocks, for example, have already fallen 25 to 40 percent, there is more room to fall. Third, you should raise money and pay off your debt.

Now is the time to work, harder and smarter to get out of debt, don't buy or lease a new car, don't finance anything and start paying down debt to prepare to buy real estate. Fourth, stay away from syndications: they are the most expensive form of buying real estate, often with promoters who charge insane fees like two percent management fees every single year and 35 waterfalls. It's insane fifth share. This video tell your friends and families about what's happening: you're owed the truth and a falling housing market could mean more joblessness and the wealth effect of falling home values.

Crimping our economy into a recession so be prepared and get ready. Now is the time to be a survivor.
