Honestly it's not too early to start lowballing people. I'm considering sending a 60% of list offer on a large commercial property. The fact is rising taxes and interest rates don't justify anything near the asking price. If they don't want to be reasonable then I'll simply wait until things get worse and the offer will not be improving when they come back to me later.

Obviously you don't understand how to invest in RE. Cash flow doesn't matter. No, you invest for future equity but first make sure interest rates are rising.

Buyer’s remorse. It’s that simple. No one forced them to buy the house.
https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/11cycta/when_youre_stuck/
What do you do when you hate the house you bought, the things you hate about it you can’t change (constant traffic noise), and you can’t afford to sell?
We bought it because we owned a 2 bedroom apartment and have 2 kids. I wanted to move before my older daughter started kindergarten so we felt we were in a time crunch even though the market was not ideal for buyers. Basically we needed a house, looked at and made offers on many, and this is the one we got. It checked enough of the boxes but the busyness of the road was something I failed to prioritize or fully realize.

Auction = foreclosure? If this is the case, the owner should ask for a postponement. List the house and sell it for as close to fair market value (FMV) as possible. At auction in the current market environment, my guess is that the house would sell for 70% of FMV at most. The discounted offers are justified.

This is a real issue, especially for commercial properties, where the loans are becoming adjustable. JPM loan officer told us they’ve been doing cash-in refinance on loans that adjust recently. So far, owners have been able to bring in the difference for the refinance. No red flag……yet. This is specifically to Bay Area commercial real estate.

Housing Bubble 2 is deflating relentlessly, not under the pressure of an unemployment crisis – far from it: the labor market is still historically tight with the highest pay increases in four decades, and an increase in unemployment would be the next shoe to drop on the housing market – but because mortgage rates have reverted to the normal levels of 6% to 7% that existed before the money-printing era started in 2008. And home prices that exploded over the past few years, fueled by mortgage rates of 3% and lower, don’t make sense anymore – and never made sense to begin with. ...
On a month-to-month basis, today’s Case-Shiller Index for single-family house prices dropped in all 20 metros that it covers. The biggest month-to-month drops, those dropping at least 1.0%, occurred in:
Phoenix: -1.9% (second month in a row! The babe is moving fast)
Portland: -1.9%
Las Vegas: -1.8%
San Francisco Bay Area: -1.8%
Seattle: -1.8%
Denver: -1.3%
San Diego: -1.3%
Chicago: -1.2%
Minneapolis: -1.2%
Dallas: -1.1%
Detroit: -1.1%
Charlotte: -1.0%
From their respective peaks, which ranged from May to July 2022, house prices dropped the most in these metros:
San Francisco Bay Area: -16.0%
Seattle: -15.1%
San Diego: -11.1%
Phoenix: -9.4%
Denver: -7.5%
Las Vegas: -8.8%
Los Angeles: -8.1%
Portland: -7.9%
Dallas: -7.6%

West coast and hipster cities are going to eat shit. If someone didn't see that coming after covid you're not thinking. I've beaten this dead horse so many times here and I've 100% been right. There is and will be an exodus from cities. Covid accelerated that with work from home, millennials starting families, defund the police and just shitty politics.
Of the big negatives I think Phoenix has the highest probability of recovery. Denver has needed its ass handed to it for a decade now. The growth was not logical and likely ignited by legal pot. The west coast cities are obvious. Smart people generally don't live in a place led by morons, taxed at insane rates and political policy.
Regardless of interest rates I'm not losing selling my $1M home in Seattle and buying a $500k home in Spokane. Until people realize that most home buyers are white collar and can now work from home, major cities are going to take a beating. I lived the exodus from a major city like Chicago. The floor is much higher here for price loses. We're seeing price gains where I'm at and outside of 10% interest rates it's not stopping. It's not booming but we're hitting 3-5% increases annually still. Not losses.

In normally priced markets that are $700k or under, they should weather the storm relatively well. Where this will appear to be a crash is the cities and coastal areas.
Also 90% of owners bought when interest rates were sub 5% and that's not accounting for those that bought with cash. This isn't 2004-08 where we were giving strippers and unqualified people loans based off of undocumented income. Inventory shot above double digits into the 15-20 month range at that time. People might sell in cities to get the fuck out, but people are simply staying put.
I was personally managing 80+ listing during the crash. It was insane. Unless they're giving away loans again, I'm not see it. This is a demographic shift out of cities. Their prices tend to be higher. The national median AND city prices will go down. But it's not a crash.
My sister in law just got an all cash offer on her rental property. No price cuts. 2 weeks. Little cottage house near a lake in Northwest IL. I've never once said there won't be declines. People's perception of the market is from their location and they assume that's how it will be everywhere. It isn't and won't be...

Lots of apartments going up in Panama City and Panama City Beach.
Seen a lot of apartment websites offering 1 month free for 13 month lease.
Seems like rental prices are back at 2021 levels without the 1 month discount.
I suspect rental rates will be frozen for next couple of years to allow wage growth to better align with past rental price increases.

I haven't looked at prices in the Western panhandle area. Pensacola, Navarre, Destin, Fort Walton, etc. Eastern areas like St. George Island are fucking nuts on all levels. Had a chance to buy our vacation rental at $450k that would rent for $2,200/wk. It's now $900k and easily rents for $5k/wk now.
Unique area. They zoned it so there couldn't be condo towers. Not the same, but similar to CA's prop 13. When you create scarcity prices go bonkers. That's one pocket that's going to likely see a downturn at least in FL that I know well. Rural tourist area. A lot of wealthy Floridians and Georgians go there because it's quiet, good beaches, good fishing, oysters, Appalachicola is a quaint little hipster town. Plantation has a landing strip. Really cool island and regret not investing there.

The problem with the Panhandle and Northern FL is you're going to run into your stereotypical white trash and southern blacks. So there will be cheap prices for housing inland. @ad could probably speak better to it than I can. My mom unloaded all her property down there over the last 3 years. So I have no stake or interest in knowing prices down there anymore. But you can pick up solid house 30-40 minutes from the beach for $250k, from Pensacola to Tallahassee.
Only been to Tallahassee twice. Didn't like the vibe. Spending 3 days in the Jacksonville area in a couple weeks. I've heard negative things. But I hear that about everywhere. I wouldn't make Tallahassee a destination though. Unless your kid wants to go to FSU. I'm sure outlying suburbs are nice, but Tallahassee proper was college town ghetto from my experience. Probably fun if you want to party and fool around with young college chicks. I would, just don't want to live there and I'm married. lol.
I think I just typed Tallahassee more times in this comment than my entire life...

Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.
Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.
