My house is ready for the market but I just can't bring myself to put it up.

Plus there just isn't much for sale right now either, I assume for the same reasons.

That indicates a SELLERS market. You are the SELLER. Your window is NOW.

But he is also a buyer. And this isn't a buyers market.

The problem is most sellers are also buyers

Cool you can great price on your house but finding another one and making the math work with double the interest rate is going to be tough

I'm also a buyer and there isn't much on the market.

If a house that met our needs came up for sale tomorrow, we would seriously consider it.

But that doesn't seem to be happening right now.

This is a correction that needs to happen. It’s the only way we can get back to affordability for middle class people.

If you own a home, don’t sell it. Especially if you have a low interest mortgage.

You know who else would be peaceful contributors to our economy? Those waiting in line to come here legally.

Its hard to have sales when inventory is so low. My neighborhood currently has 43 listings. Of the 43 listings, 13 are currently Pending so that leaves 30 properties on the market. Pre covid my neighborhood had around 100-110 listings.

So, you aren't going to have record sales when there is low inventory.

There won't be a glut of listings until the Boomers start dying off en masse.

I can't believe prices in general have stayed where they are.

Some regions are just ridiculous. Here in Spokane- Coeur D'Alene it's insane all over.

1970s fixer uppers - needing kitchen replacements and probably bathroom and utilities upgrades for
$750k+. 5 acres outside the city with a sub 2500 square ft. House for 995k.

Amd it isn't isolated. All over.

Renting actually makes complete logical sense in a shitton of markets now

I think a lot of it has to do with how low of an interest rate most people have locked in. They're trying to price to clear enough to afford the interest rate bump...but of course, as has been noted, they'd also have to buy into that same "inflated" market. Assuming a correction is coming, best case would be to sell and then rent for a few years hoping that price correction happens.

Home construction today is so terrible. I have cousin and a life-long friend that both do home inspections, some of the better contractors are starting to slip in their quality, not just the DR Hortons of the world. Crazy considering the materials available today are so much better quality than they were 20 years ago.

Homeowners that refinanced mortgages to 3 percent interest rates aren't going to be selling anytime soon so those houses aren't coming on the market. Pretty simple extrapolation.

Right about what? That there will be a market correction? Does the fact that pending home sales are the lowest ever not prove I am correct? Prices will and have started coming down in areas as inventory increases. We just aren't at the point where a lot of people HAVE to sell yet. That may or may not happen en masse but it will happen for some.


Yup. And it’s become a running joke that your real estate posts have said the same thing exclusively for the better part of a decade now.
