It feels to me like Kiesel is right.

I am looking at rent and home prices in the Florida panhandle within 10 miles of the beach. They have gone up about 30% over the last 2 years. They need to go down to spring 2020 levels to make them affordable for the working class. They likely will over correct and drop to 2018 levels.

Stocks are not overvalued much if you compare the PE ratio now to 2000: https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-pe-ratio?source=patrick.net

Timing is everything. For my shack, selling in 2006 and buying back in 2012 would have been a bad move... transaction costs, reset Prop 13 taxes, need to rent for 6 years, and the small problem of selling at $900k and buying back at $1MM.

On this metric stocks are in huge bubble

Yes, I have followed the Warren Buffet valuation for stocks. Market cap needs to go down more relative to GDP. A lot of the run up is from the significant increase in demand, thanks to monetary and fiscal policies.

The left wing media has been reporting about this. Just look at Tyson Foods stock price and PE ratio.

FarmersWon says

they will be forced to reduce excessive price increase

I agree. They are pricing beach condos (sleep at 6 to 8 people) at $400 per night (total) here in Panama City Beach. That is what they charged back in 2020 and 2021 with all the unemployment, stimulus, cancel rent, etc. They got to lower that price from $400 to $250 to make it affordable again.

Now all that freebie money is gone and interest rates like the 30 yr mortgage are going up in anticipation of a Fed interest rate hikes.

I think April/May 2022 could be a peak because it’s just after the last months of pending inventory before the rate explosion.

But I don’t see a decline large enough for it to makes sense to sell/buy and reset a 2012 property tax.

Kiesel is what Italians would refer to as “stupido”

Kiesel is gonna owe a shitload of taxes, worse if he sells a house in California.

Also a guy sells in 2006 and buys in 2012 and is now the authority figure for all future RE moves.

But Zillow is still telling me to expect double digit 1yr forecast % gain. 🧐

to try and play the buy low sell high for your primary home is the worst thing. I know horror stories of people who tried that.
If you do that with investment property, be my guest. With your actually home you live in....unless you hate living there, dont touch it.

Dont be an idiot and try to think YOU know when the market peaks and when the market bottoms. You are an idiot for even trying.

Agreed he is wrong. There will be no decline for obvious reasons, immigrant pressure. The wealthier will seek refuge in good areas and keep bidding them up

Is there any truth to Blackrock overpaying for tons of housing stock across the country?

Agreed, wealthy areas are mostly immune. Everyone knows that you have to price yourself out of the riff raff. That’s expensive and always will be.

So I get that folks view RE as an investment, like a less liquid stock or bond. I am seeing a lot more homes coming on the market, the sellers trying to get an annual 20-25% gain on a home with minimal to no improvements, that was purchased 2-4 years ago. It seems like a magical belief to expect someone to pay you 50% more for the home you bought two years ago, doesn't it, especially when the tide seems to be turning?

Here in the tri valley, exactly what you describe is happening in the early part of 2022. We have friends in the area who are walking away with >50% gain on houses they bought 2-3yrs ago.
