Depends on location and quality of the homes. Here in Santa Fe I don't see nice well kept homes declining....yet. We got 7 offers for ours within hours of listing and 3 of them were over asking and all were using cash for 70 - 80% of the purchase amount.

I don’t much care either way.

Back to my question: how long have you been leaving cash on the sidelines hoping for a “correction”? Weeks? Months? Years?

Maybe two years. Maybe an entire third. And I'm happy I did. Part of that cash is from owning a rental home and then selling it. I'll take that all day over "health care stock something something" bullshite.

Spoke to a neighbor recently who is looking to build and his first 2 quotes were near $400/sq ft so good luck with the prices falling. If new builds are insanely priced and inventory is low prices will not drop much. This is in Covington for reference, not some super wealthy area.

2026 the market will be trashed and will make 2006 look like child's play.

Watch FL. They are always the leading indicator. Right now, they have 300 more houses in inventory then they should.

In 2006 the issue was bad loans. Period

2026 there will be a whole host of issues.

I'm stock piling cash for that opportunity.

To be fair there isn't really much to respond to. You're just speculating that housing prices are going to go down with no real reasoning behind it.

There is nothing to really argue or agree with since you provided no reasoning in your initial post

So the S&P is up, what, 50% or so during that period? You must be wishing for quite the correction.

You're happy that you sat on cash that could have been growing? I'm reading through this entire thread to find one post of yours that isn't completely irrational and I'm batting 0 right now.

You just described the wealth effects and then said it doesn’t exist in two sentences

Prices don’t typically fall when there’s no transactions happening. That’s been the last 3 years basically since the end of the refi boom in ‘21

Yes, because I lived through the tech bubble from 1996-99 and then watched it explode.

Now I'm nearing retirement and I'm not taking chances.


Do you understand dollar cost average over thirty years? I don't think you do.

Do you understand buying low over thirty years? I don't think you do. But by all means keep listening to yourself yap.

Do you not understand cash influx from rental property income and sale?


How many stupid questions are coming next?

Understandable

But you left a lot on the table by sitting on the sidelines the last 2-3 years

You can tell yourself it's wise all you want but the math says otherwise.
