yep. Was thinking the same thing . In 08 09 10, folks were crying about the recession. Houston was a home sellers paradise. There’s always a few pockets that won’t be hurt

Just ask the two posters above me. They seem to know it all.

North Shore is doing OK as long as Lotoya keeps being the #1 Remax producer in St. Tammany.

Prices have started to cool off in your backyard.

In the 15 months since the peak in April 2022, the median price has plunged by 16.3%, or by $245,000. Given the large size of the nine-county Bay Area, with a population of around 7.6 million people and about ten times as many transactions as in San Francisco alone, the median price is less volatile.

I fail to see how these rates cause a crash, wasn’t there a stat recently saying over 80% of current mortgages are under 4%? These folks aren’t selling and will be fine. Inventory will remain low and people forced into the market will continue to overpay. The damage has been done.

Now it's down to $725.

The higher-end homes always take the bigger beating. Very few buyers can qualify for (or afford)$800K at 7%. I'm hearing of nothing but bidding wars on the lower-end stuff.

Yep, I tend to agree with you. I think if there were to be a "crash" it would be due to people being forced to overpay as you point out but that would be a few years down the road. Households being over 40% DTI largely due to home prices is unprecedented. If the market slows, and pricing levels off, anyone buying from this point on would be equity-poor too potentially making it harder to sell if forced to.

Inventory levels aren't correcting themselves anytime soon, though.

In Houston, I'd consider that under 400K.

So some local areas that went up 40% will drop 20% but still be up 20%

Yeah that's not at all how math works. If something goes up 40% then is reduced by 20% the total gain is not 20%

Prices already went up without anybody getting a raise. Wages not keeping up with inflation is a huge problem. Conservatives blaming workers is a huge fail. Blackrock is laughing at you all.

It would be around a 12% overall gain
