Good. The housing market was on fire and needs to tighten.

I'm getting ready to buy. It would be great for me if interest rates go high and prices drop.

If prices drop, then I'm ready to stroke some checks to buy property with cash. I don't care about interest rates, I only care about price.

I'm not sure how much base prices will come down...but very soon you certainly won't have to fight 12 other people for a house.

No, we actually inflated the price. My brother and I both told our realtor the same thing. "It will never sell at that price."

He told us, "I'll get more." He was right.

Tell me you haven’t sold a home in DFW without telling me.

I had about 10 days it slowed down, then yesterday I had 8 calls.

Closing 6 this week. Last July was the busiest month I ever had, this July is very close to topping it.

I’m going to beat my total for last year by the end of July, and last year was a fantastic year. I’m banking it to carry me through the next few years for when it does slow down.

It’s going to slow down, but will be 2-3 months at least before you really see it. What you’re going to see for now is a reduction in the range people are looking in.

450k becomes 400k, etc.

I work in SFR. The market is about to implode. Institutionals are dumping/freezing right now.

Realtors would be selling used cars if not for homes. They know nothing about what is coming. And I cringe at the thought that people actually rely on them for market analysis.

Waiting eagerly to pounce on one of those lake houses about an hour away. Looking forward to my weekend oasis.

Most frankly don’t have a clue. A distressingly large percentage are part timers just trying to make “easy money”

Tough to distinguish the professionals from the amateurs at a glance. Maybe 10-15% of them have a clue. There are agents/brokers I love working with, and there are some I just hang my head when I see a text from one cause I know it’s going to be an ordeal.

I work for a National builder. Our contract writes are down 50% the last 3 months. July numbers for real estate are going to be catastrophic.

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.



Depending on who you listen to we are short 5 million to 7 million homes. We desperately need more inventory. Construction starts being low is just going to keep prices stable regardless of rates.

<<<< raises hand

Refinanced remaining 21 years of a 30 at 4% to a 15 at 2.35% (no points) in early 2021. Not planning on selling.

I’ve been casually looking for past 3 months and never jumped due to inflated prices and stuff going pending inside of 24hrs 90% of the time.

Now trying to decide what to do and timing… those with insight in industry and saying “it’s coming”, when do y’all think we see massive reductions?

You don't like the combo real estate/pampered chef/press on nails soccer mom?

Houses in my hood are the same (pending almost as soon as they hit the MLS).

It has slowed a little, but the only houses that aren't pending right now are a new construction that's still at least a month away and a house that just came on the market on Monday.

A lot more sitting now… what used to be 5-10 in a specific area I’m looking not under contract is now 30-40. Nothing worth biting the bullet for. So just curious when those in industry think the real pain will come and deals may start popping.
