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.

pedo

Feminist communist definition of Pedo. She's old enough to vote, be in the military, have a life or death job in emergency services of some kind, contract in any business, etc.

16-Sixteen is the ancient agreed upon age of maturity. And that was in times were famines were common so people developed more slowly, and there was far less socialization than today.

40-60 year old men and 19-20 year olds was normal until WW2.

We need to push back on the infantilization of people generally, like making excuses for 26 year olds that they're not really adults yet, or that somebody in their early 30s is still "Adulting". That's part of the Oligarch-Socialist program to tamp down on responsibility and freedom, which are naturally entwinned..

As the great Edvards Liedskalniņ of Coral Castle said, let the old birds screw the young guys and keep the young women "Fresh" for the experienced older men

But the Housing Experts on PatNet...

Seller has cut price $472k on this listing. 40% reduction from original list.

Down to a price below what they bought it for in 2020, before the pandemic spike in prices.

Worst of all: check out the HOA fee.

$2,300/month. Ouch.

what's the cap rate ? I assume it can be a short term or vacation rental

a buddy of mine bought a 1 bedroom condo at The Summit on Panama City Beach for around $175,000 at the peak in 2006

he was making at least 15% annually on this investment as a vacation rental 10 years ago even with the on-site management company running it

he still owns it and likely making a lot more money on it

a lot of families are skipping the 1 week vacation at Disney World and embracing the beach ecotourism experience

can fish and snorkel on the beach on the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico from Orange Beach, Alabama to north of Naples, Florida

its more economical to rent a beach condo for 6 nights and not go out to eat

that is why it can be a good investment as far as buying a vacation rental on the Gulf of Mexico

I don't think Millennials with kids want to spend the money on Disney. A big maybe, but I'd do Disneyland again. Disney World I'll never go to unless it's with future grand kids.

I like the FL panhandle as I've mentioned before. At heart though I'm a Caribbean type guy. The panhandle is the closest water wise to the Caribbean on a calm day and with better sand. The weather is much better in the Caribbean outside of hurricane season though. We try to go in January (Caribbean) and it's 82ºf and sunny most of the time. Water is warm.

I'd say panhandle is still probably a good long term investment for a vacation rental if you buy right. My old man made about $200k in the late 90's early 2000's on a condo in Navarre Beach. Only owned it for about 6 years. Rented it out so cost were covered and small profit.

What most don't know is price cuts are a marketing tactic. Even if they're small. Price cuts show up in the buyer's MLS feed that the brokers set up. So even small price cuts can help a buyer see the property again or drop into a new buyers price point. It also gets listings bumped in the IDX feeds to sites like realtor.com, zillow, redfin, etc.

As ridiculous as this sounds, we'd have sellers sign a form with the listing agreement that we were allowed to do $1 price cuts up to $100. It worked. Buyers would tell us at showings unprompted. Reason is that most buyers may not be all that serious at first and just scan through what the broker sent them.

80/20 rule. 80% of buyers are morons when it comes to real estate. 19% have a solid idea of the market. 1% knows their shit. That's why the $1 price cut worked on most buyers. 15 years of anecdotal evidence on 1k+ deals.

Car dealers are doing this too. I've once subscribed to price alerts on one car I was interested in on Autotrader and discovered the seller kept changing the price from about $1K above KBB down in $100 increments until it hits KBB and then he bumps it back up and repeats the game. The car has eventually disappered from the site, meaning they did find a sucker to buy it above KBB.

Didn't think about cars. Less regulation there. All realtors have to have something to show a price change. Some states an email might be okay, but we just knocked it out up front with a document.

Only legal issue we had was one listing where the seller lied and said their property never flooded. New owner talked to the neighbor and found out it frequently flooded. Seller paid $15k and our office paid $15k. Wasn't our fault, but it satisfied the buyer and got us out of a bigger shit show.

A shitty marketing tactic, then.

When prices continually drop like that, buyers will be incentivised to hold out. Just like when stockholders see their shares' price continuously increase, they are incentivised to hold the stock instead of selling.

Happening in Central Florida too. They're cutting a few thousand off every 3-4 weeks.

Even if the Fed started dropping rates in September, buyers aren't going to bite .

Too late this time of year. School is starting. No one is moving. They can cut all they want. A 60-90 day closing timeline puts you near the holidays in a new house. Next spring will be interesting. Outside of jobs, 90% of people don't "need" to move currently with the rates they have locked in.

No one buying 2 years ago is already moving except in rare cases. The inventory isn't coming up. Prices are down based on interest rates, but they're still selling.

So you don't own, don't buy and you lose out in 10 years. That's fine. Your choice. I ain't judging. I'm just speaking to what I know is fact. Over 30,000 hours in RE in 15 years. I'm the dip shit. I'll take the heat. I just know what I'm talking about, so it doesn't move my needle.

Every property bought and NOT refinanced WILL be worth more when you sell it in 10 years. Show me a scenario not in a ghetto and you got me. You can't.

I can.

After inflation adjusted terms, this nice house is 90% CHEAPER than it was 34 years ago when it was first bought for $500k in 1990. Presently selling for $649k. Look at the pictures of it. It seems well kept up.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/112-E-Ridge-Rd-Charleston-WV-25314/22597118_zpid/



Oh looky! They started playing the little dorky price dropping game you love starting in 2022! Still, if they did sell it in 2022 for their $719k asking price it still would have been pretty much as total loss in inflation-adjusted terms as it will be should they sell it for the $649k price now.

Not a ghetto neighborhood even though it is in Charleston, WV. It's in the ritzy part of town. Yes, every city has at least one of those.

Don't try to move goalposts right now because you didn't explicitly define 'ghetto'. i.e. "Well, the whole state of WV is GHETTO!" or some crap like that. WV is poor but the entire state is not Oakland or Detroit. Certainly not this neighborhood. You made your bed. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Nor should you even try to bitch about me insisting on using inflation-adjustments since that is what most INVESTMENT DECISIONS calculated over time are supposed to be made by, I do believe.

Actually, your problem isn't the vague ghetto definition fuckup. It's assuming every house in America that even does sell for more than bought for makes money in inflation-adjusted terms.

Don't
Even
Try



If those WV hicks parked their $500k into the Fortune 500 and reinvested their dividends instead, they would have had 1,286.70% inflation-adjusted total return. It would be worth $6,933,489.71 right now.

But you are a Certified Real Estate Expert on PatNet! What do I know? I just am good at realizing that you aren't very good with probabilities involving millions of homes in America dispersed in very unique market circumstances.

So next time, you might want to say something more like this:

5206   stfu   2024 Aug 16, 5:50am  

I have to agree with DATF on this point. Living in the Charlotte NC area from mid 90's to early 2000's it was always a buyers market. Outside of a few hot locations home prices did not keep up with inflation. For a few blissful years starting in 2019 it was a sellers market and we basically named our price and didn't negotiate on the two homes we sold during this period. I thought "this must be what it's like to live in California" where home prices outpace inflation by double digits.

60-90 day closing timeline

60 to 90 days? I sold a house in Newport News VA in 2017 and my BIL sold a house in Papillion NE in June 2024. In both cases, the time from signed contract to closing with check in hand was less than a month. Not cash buys either, both houses had buyers with mortgages. I remember decades ago it took 60 to 90 days to close, but the process has been seriously streamlined since then.

debt increasing business is well subsidized, it’ll never be go down. i don’t understand why people think it’ll crash. our entire fake economy is built on infinite debt and asset price inflation. that’s not changing with either party. everyone benefits from it up top on both sides.

It's all about the seller. You got lucky. Has nothing to do with streamlining. In most cases it's a buy then sell situation timing two different deals. Your buyer likely didn't have to deal with their own home selling before buying your property. First time home buyer likely.

So yes it can happen in 25-30 days. It's not common at all though. It's usually 5-10 days A/I review before the mortgage even starts. Then another 10 days for appraisal. Then lenders dragging their feet for 10 days with underwriting and title. You're already at 30 days. Then final walkthrough and you're best case 45 days.

Also depends on the type of loan. FHA is 100% 60 days most of the time. Which is the most common loan given the low down payment. Trust me I'm not talking out my ass. Even cash deals take at least 14 days. It would be like me telling some user here how to code. I know little to nothing about coding. I know RE.

What's the percentage of FHA loans? That's just the AVERAGE days. So 60+ days kind drags the average up. This is one stat where the median makes more sense. It's over 50 days for sure. FHA is the most popular loan.

Getting a loan done is not quick work. Then factor in all the other shit. Inspection, appraisal, radon test (48 hours), etc. just to get past the A/I portion. Then factor in the sellers needs if they need to buy another house. Lenders also don't start the clock once there's a contract. There's no incentive to calling out the reality of a real estate deal. Everyone just wants their money. Saying it take XX number of days is a lie.

Lenders and brokers both lie about it. No one is honest enough or willing to tell the truth. What I'm saying is true.

$59k is just below median income. Almost no way they could save up for even a 3.5% down FHA mortgage in 2020. After tax if you pay any and if you have kids, pay rent, you'd be lucky to have $2-3k of after tax dollars in savings. Let me know where these $100k house exist and if I'd want to live there.

Don't live in cities or near them. You won't regret it. Even large suburbs. Small towns under 5k population with a market, gas station and a few restaurants. I'd rather drive an hour to work than live in shit hole cities and suburbs. Or get a mostly work from home job.

Most people don't want to live in small towns where there's little to do and it's boring. There's a reason prices are cheaper there.
