Potential home buyers in the future market.

The next two quarters of 2020 could yield some great opportunities to renters and first time home buyers. Home values should hit a decline with the market getting flooded with foreclosures and people looking to get out from under house notes.
I purchased my first two houses in an area just starting to grow during the down market. Sold the first one and doubled my money and may look to do again.
Anyone else looking to strike?

Naw, if a wonderful opportunity avails itself I’ll probably pass on it.
I’ve got enough already.

I don’t suspect we will see that decline until late 4th quarter and 1st qtr 2021. I do agree that you should have some good opportunities!

I'm shooting to buy my first one in 2021, hopefully the market is still good for buyers then.

Decided to hold off on buying a new house last month. Curious to see how the Vegas market gets hit with so many people out of work here.

I don’t see how renters will benefit. If people are selling en masse (good buying opportunity), it is very likely these sellers will then be renting. Thus, increasing rental demand. Why would rental prices not rise accordingly?

This. I’m working now, but definitely concerned budget cuts might eliminate my position. I can’t imagine how screwed I’d be if I dumped all of my savings into a down payment on a house and then lost my job. I’d be homeless and bankrupt in no time.
As for renters, rent prices are like crawfish prices in that no matter what happens, it always somehow causes prices to increase, and never decrease.

Well, you probably wouldn't be in the spot to do it.

I was originally planning to buy my first house sometime around next summer, but may move that up to the fall if the right opportunity becomes available.

20% down and 700 credit score, you have no problem.

Very well could be. It's honestly still moving pretty good right now. Not much out there.

Good call.

Was going to buy when my lease ends in August but can’t decide if I should wait another 12 months in case things bottom out some.

I would want to know the percentage of people laid off that were actually homeowners
In April the supply of homes for sale actually went down (granted its still early)
Eta: and with the potential for a rebound sooner rather than later, coupled with the forbearance and relief efforts from mortgage services, I’m not sure we’ll see the surge of foreclosures like in 08-09

You'll need at least 20% down payment firm. Maybe more. The banks aren't going to risk financing more than the balance of that. And interest rates will rise to mitigate the risk. But housing is a lot like crawfish, somehow, against all reason the prices stay high.

That's a tough spot man. I understand your feelings.

Weren’t crawfish prices ridiculously low this year?
Posted on 5/20/20 at 3:32 pm to Picayuner
Yeah I’ve heard 20 is minimum for a lot of banks now. Luckily (maybe) I got in at 10% a few months back. As long as I don’t sell, no harm no foul right?
