We are putting our house on the market in two days. Open house this Sat and Sunday. I hope we get decent offers. I believe it is priced very competitively and don't care about getting tens of thousands over asking. Hoping to sell, and move back to Louisiana on family land. With food, and everything going to shite, I'm ready to be self-sufficient.

Market has 100% shifted the last 3 weeks, however prices haven’t plummeted to offset interest rates yet. Just a lot of stuff sitting.

"With the hurricane season underway, thousands of Louisiana policyholders face a storm of insurance cancelations in a matter of days. And many are not pleased, along with some insurance agents.

Sofia Dheming has no choice but to purchase new homeowners’ insurance.

“We have a couple of quotes, the highest I got was like $9,000, so that was like three times the amount we were paying originally and then we came down to $4,700 and that’s a lot of deductions that we took out, stuff that we may need but we had to make it work,” said Dheming.

She had received a letter a day earlier.

“We have some carriers now that’s taking policies and the rate increase is 40%, 50%. I don’t care what anybody gets up here and say, oh it’s not going up that high. I know, my office is a huge insurance agency. We see renewals come in from $2,000 to $4,000 or $5,000 every day,” said Fayard.

Dheming is also a realtor and is seeing the impacts of the current insurance landscape on homebuying.

“Flood insurance is going up as they are, we have now homeowners’ insurance that’s going to go up and you know interest rates are going up,” she said."

There is a mass exodus of residents moving north right because of not only the rising interest rates but the astronomical property & casualty insurance rates.

cost to rebuild those houses is now much higher. so rates go up to appease the all seeing actuarial gods.

Wife is a real estate agent for Gary Greenein Sugar Land/Houston and does very well. Home builders are now reaching out to them and notifying they are once again restored incentives and are paying full commisions if they bring buyers.


She just read it to me a few days ago. Rising interest rates and inflation... coming like a freight train to the real estate market.

Closed on a piece of property last week. Realtor and banker were sitting across the table when the realtor asked, has your business slowed down?

Banker replied, not yet.

Realtor said his business has slowed significantly over the last three months.

If you’re in south LA, insurance is playing a big factor too on top of the interest rate hikes. Options have dwindled bigly over the past 2-3 months and a lot of people are left with the state run Citizens as their only option which is expensive as hell.

Sold a house in April 2021. Did a "Comming Soon" to generate interest. Went live on a Monday. Had 25 showings, 15 offers and sold it $20,000 above the asking price.

It is going to be bad, really bad. I saw something earlier today that showed new construction starts in Q1 for Plano in 2022 were down 45% compared to Q1 2021.

The brakes are slammed on.

DFW is still a little wild. I have seen more "price improvements" lately though. Most stuff under $300k are being bought by investors with cash. Still multiple bids on those.

Closed one 2 weeks ago $50k over. Another one $30k over next week. All cash both deals. Only way things are going. I think it will start to settle down more after the summer season, especially with rates going up.

I look at homes for sale in my area online pretty regularly and there a clear trend over the last 2 months that the market is cooling.

I’ve mixed feelings on this. I know this portends even worse things to come economically, but also not upset some of these insane home prices will cool off.

I’ve had a few friends try and buy homes the last 9 mos or so, and some of the absolute dog shite realtors who are out there playing games and taking advantage of people deserve the hottest corner in hell.

I know not all realtors are spawns of Satan, but at least 8 in 10 are.

You were definitely underpriced if there was that much action. It's fine if you are happy with what you got though.
