Where will they park all their $50k+ vehicles they're still paying notes on?

Vegas is always going to be a volatile market because the economy of the area is tourism based and the other big industry in the state is mining.

Tourism, by definition, is boom and bust because it is only as good as the rest of the country is doing to afford luxuries.

Seems like we’re basically back to 2008 in lending practices. It’s crazy, but it’s where we are again.


I'm in the process of buying a house and this doesn't seem to be the case at all.

It may be a national trend but the effect is still market based.

2008 was heavily centered on around 10 markets including Orlando, Phoenix, and Vegas which has been red hot then suddenly has the bottom fall out between low sales and high repos.

Same - Just like a bond does, the price of housing drops when rates increase.

So, buy when rates are high and prices are low, then refinance when the Fed prints more $.

Good, since I intend not to sell my house I hope home values plummet before my home value is reassessed by the parish.

How often does an assessor lower the price of a property in their area?

Only thing I’m really seeing drop here are the bulk builders. DR Horton and Rausch Coleman. They probably have 150 new construction between them right now ongoing, and I’d considered their prices excessive before.

Pay wall. Can't see map.

I guess I'm the only one on the OT who doesn't have a subscription to Fortune.com. It sucks being poor.

Definitely seeing this in TX. Houses were going in hours after listing in 2020-21. Now it’s more like weeks, with price cuts along the way.

The reason is simple. Mortgage rates have added hundreds of $ to a monthly payment.

It’s not a 2008 economic crash. Lending practices are much tighter now.

The drop in housing prices will need to be significant.

I didn't have the best timing, but I bought a this past January. Comparing that to today, given what my rate would be now, to get the same mortgage payment the house would need to cost 125k less.

I'm curious to see if this results in any actual reduction in value. If someone bought a house for $750k two years ago, listed it last month for $1M, and then cut the price to $850k, we are still talking about massive (hypothetical) year over year gains.

Put another way, just because someone incorrectly thought their house appreciated X, but it really only appreciated Y, isn't a true reduction in home values.

Thanks. I'm at the office checking in once in awhile. Images frequently don't show up on the laptop here. Will check again when I get home this evening.

If Redfin is to be believed, my home's value increased since December at $695k up to $802k in August, but this month they dropped it to $773k, an almost $30k drop in one month.

My neighbor just sold their home next door. Had it listed at $730k and had to drop to $695k to sell it. That was $201 a square foot.
