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.

Here's what economists are predicting for the US housing market in 2023

Redfin Corp. this week predicted home prices will fall for the first time since 2011 — but at a modest 4% nationally. Zillow Group Inc. is anticipating home prices to remain flat nationally next year, while Realtor.com has among the more positive predictions, with home prices appreciating 5.4% across the U.S. in 2023.

Fannie Mae is predicting total existing home sales will be 3.9 million in 2023 and prices will fall 1.5%. Meanwhile, Capital Economics is predicting U.S. home prices will fall 8% by mid-2023 and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) is forecasting a 5.5% decline in home prices.

I got some jarring news from my mortgage company I was hoping to get insight on. My wife and I purchased our first ever home for $635,000.00. It had previously been owned for 30 years, so the taxes were capped around $3k despite a market value assessment of 350k. This was also our escrow amount.

The letter we received says that we now owe $10k in back escrow because the taxes increased to $11k a year and there were insufficient funds to cover it. Additionally, our monthly payment went up $700 because of the jump. This accounts for our homestead exemption.

My question is, is this right? It seems insane that homebuyers aren’t told their payments will jump exponentially year one. We were already at the top of our budget, and going from $3,500/month to nearly $5k for the next year is brutal. Once the escrow is paid back it will be around $4.1k, but that is still way more than we ever expected, although there was an expectation of some increase. I appreciate any insight that can be offered.

Oh, so that's what happens? So the longer the seller has owned the home, the larger the tax jolt will be to the buyer, correct? This is because the new tax amount will be calculated on the price the buyer pays vs. the price the seller originally paid?




1466   Blue   2022 Dec 8, 2:30pm  

Yes, tax amount get rest at next purchase price. CA 1978 prop 13 is a Ponzi scheme. Not only outside the CA but too many insiders are not aware of this crap until you get into the trap. Like any Ponzi scheme, the longer you stay your tax rate goes south even though you receive gov service like everyone else. Since property tax rate is effectively the lowest for many in the country, CA has to push every tax rate to the roof to compensate the difference. This topic really upset the people who pay none to nothing tax to their multi million dollar shacks while they enjoy the gains.

The bigger issue is he paid $635K for a house with a market value assessment of $350k. I wonder if that was what the previous county assessment was or if that was what the appraisal was. If county assessment, then ok, what the fuck did he think was going to happen. It’s 1% of sale price plus .xx based on all the local add-ons and bullshit bonds and such.

RH CEO: 'The housing market is collapsing'

It's not collapsing. Cities are. High end city sales are going to drag down median national prices big time. This is an exodus "crash" not a housing crash overall. The house we're planning on building in Chicago would be $2-3M. We're doing it for $500k out in the country. Better schools. No traffic. Local CSA's, butchers and other products that we don't pay a markup at Target for. Work from home or just drive.

Cities are toast. The people are younger for the party or too old and living on government income. Demographically most cities are shit. 30-50 year olds who have the money and spend it, have kids, don't want to live in cities. Defund the police. Great. Let's live in a crime filled hellhole on tiny lots, litter, piss and shit, etc. There's no reason to live in cities anymore.

You also mentally cannot live in a liberal city if you have any morals. I get some people stay because of family, but who cares? The block I lived on in Chicago we knew NOBODY. There's no community. 100+ units on the block. I have people in my town now come up to me like they know me and I'm like who the fuck is that? In a positive way. Everyone is nice outside of the occasional hill billy tool at the local bars. AKA the drunks that can't control it, but that's worse in the city and may result in a bullet wound.

Housing Market Update: Supply Posts Record Increase As Homes Linger on the Market


Among the 50 most populous U.S. metros, pending sales fell the most from a year earlier in Las Vegas (-65.4%), Austin (-60.7%), Phoenix (-56.8%), Jacksonville, FL (-55.6%) and Portland, OR (-53.5%).

Months of supply—a measure of the balance between supply and demand, calculated by dividing the number of active listings by closed sales—was 3.9 months
1474   Blue   2022 Dec 9, 10:45am  

Correction is needed for good reason particularly in high price areas. For the rest, crashing is bad for good people who want to keep their roof but good for flippers who take advantage of crazy Biden inflation.

We optioned the lots in March this year. Working on a plan where my mom buys our current house. That way we're not carrying two loans and have the equity to throw at the build. No rush on our end either or hers. Lumber has come down in our area too, so the wait has been worth it. We're probably 30-60 days from the rubber meeting the road.

I don't care about interest rates as I know in 2-5 years they'll be back to 0 basically. We haven't seen truly "high" interest rates since the 70's.

There's also a fuck ton of planning building a custom home. There are a ton of details that most people "building" a subdivision house don't have to deal with. It's not like working with a builder doing 100 homes and you have option A or B on all items. We have the whole alphabet in front of us because it's our choice on everything. We are picking all finishes. No builder grade cheap shit.

I'm also going to part time GC the job. Builder is cool with it and makes it cheaper on our end. I'm a planner though. I don't like problems. Anything I can do to eliminate them is the goal.

You don’t want to be born 10 years earlier. People pay a lot of money to be 10 years younger. I know a 68-year old gentleman who is willing to give all his money ($60M net worth) to be 18 again. If you can enjoy life at a younger age, take it. Money can’t buy your youth back.

Yup. Live life once. Money helps. Enjoy it though. Even if that means being reckless or risky at times. I'll be in the Bahamas, Dominican, AZ and MT in January. Should I? Probably not if you're listening to Dave Ramsey. Fucking live life guys.

The part people don't get. You don't HAVE to pay it. AND you can't take it with you. Until you realize those two truths, you're living a life of misery. Enjoy.

Lennar offers 5,000 homes to investors with buyer demand sliding

https://unitedbrokersinc.net/2022/12/09/lennar-offers-5000-homes-to-investors-with-buyer-demand-sliding/

It's a stupid time to buy a house.

Prices are only gonna drop.

You're tired of me saying this, but there is a massive demographic shift. For 40 years, boomers powered house buying. Few people in their 60s are looking for 4 bed, 2.5 baths in the burbs. Foreign buyers looking for Pied-a-tierres aren't interested in moving to lower-middle class suburbs of Pittsburgh, Atlanta, or Dallas.

Alot of these 60 somethings are hoping that prices stay high. They won't. And those in their 60s can hardly bitch, having lived through low interest rates for half their lives, multiple decades.

I mean American burbs around the nation, not just SFBA.

Gary Friedman, who leads RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, told investors during the company's third quarter earnings call on Thursday that "the housing market is in freefall" and thinks the US housing market is on the brink of collapse similar to what happened in 2008.

He points to low homebuyer demand and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes to tame inflation for the market decline.

"The housing market has collapsed, and it's gone down pretty viciously as interest rates went up," Friedman said during the call. "I haven't seen this kind of drop since 2008."

From what I've seen, it is not uncommon for illegal immigrants to over crowd housing. For example, I remember in Manassas Park where 3 families lived in a home designed for 1 family.
1493   Eman   2022 Dec 11, 1:12am  

When my family came to this country, we stayed at my uncle’s house for a year to save money before we could move out. My uncle has 6 kids plus 6 of us so 14 persons in a 4/2.5 house. Our family got 1 room. My parents and little brother slept on the bed. Three of us slept on the carpet floor. That was heaven to me. In my country, I slept on concrete/tile floor so it was a nice cushy step up.

We all turned out okay. All of us own a house in the Silicon Valley. From that perspective, I don’t have issues with people crowding their own house. This country is truly the land of opportunity.
