Seeing recent 10-15% price cuts on Zillow in the Morgantown WV area, which historically has been pretty resistant to market crashes.

Here in SC, I have some friends house shopping and they definitely keep getting outbid with huge all cash offers. The bottom may fall out, but prices are still climbing here for now.
What area? It hasn't been drastic but it is changing.

This is happening in Huntsville where they say we will be “insuluated” from the depression in prices. (They were wrong)

Look at the dates on the price cuts

Still overpriced by 25-30%. Just shows extremely overpriced properties have been in the last few yrs.
A lot of new realtors will be looking for new jobs b/c their selling techniques were plugging numbers into a computer program "that's what the computer says" and veteran realtors will rough it out. The vet realtors will be ready for the turnaround. The quitters will shut down their only fans page to plug numbers back into a computer.

Was at Trader Joes picking up some wine today and the checkout clerk was a nice guy but clearly had something wrong with him. Maybe he was autistic or had a touch of @TJHall1 syndrome but he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Anyway, he told me he was thinking about moving to Tennessee because he could get 20 acres of land in a nice mountain town for the price of his home here in Charleston. Went on to tell me that Zillow said his home is worth $900k!! WTF, no way this dude can afford that kind of house but he sure made a good real estate investment at some point in time a few years ago.

Gotta be getting near the top in prices with that shit going on.

Off-water, middle class neighborhood homes are still being listed for $250-300/sf in Southwest Florida. I had expected to see some downward movement in prices by now. A big part of the runup around here was incredibly low inventory. People were moving here in droves and nobody wanted to leave. Plus new construction is at least 24 months out. That's a lot of competing price forces.

These proposals are pretty good for buying or investing in. Regardless of inflation, demand for real estate will remain roughly at the same level. I am therefore convinced that investing in real estate is always relevant. Of course, you have to assess the market situation and act on the basis of the opportunities available. You can hire an investment adviser from https://www.mcgeewm.com/investment-management-portland-financial-advisor to act wisely and avoid making silly mistakes. If you have never dealt with investments, it is better to get help from experienced professionals. I like people who take risks, are not afraid of change, and are always looking for something better for their life.

This thread aged like milk for most posters. Too many were tainted by 08 and are fundamentally underestimating the strength of the economy and demand for homes.

Once the fed starts cutting rates late next year home prices are going to rise even further.

Supply and demand always wins and there is a massive lack of supply and extremely high demand thanks, in part, to boomers and gen X fucking things up for so long.

Exactly! There is going to be no movement on existing thanks to boomers and gen x fucking around with the interests rates and new construction rates for over a decade.

Home prices are forecasted to rise 5-6% into the face of that dynamic then explode once we come out the back side.

Im at 7%annually.
But while great for me, no one can afford my house on their salary. I'm not pish posh. I work. I know America. I live in a starter home in the country. My shitty house could get 400k. I
Bought it after a bout of bad luck.
I pd 248k. That's a ton of increase in since 2019

Except no one can afford to but it. Maybe I can sell it to rich downsizer. I love when God helps men and women.
Plenty of people can afford it. Maybe not the poor but when you live in the greatest & most prosperous nation on earth you don’t have to worry about such thing.

It’s not like you’re selling anyways so who cares if anyone can buy it 😂

Probably yankee retirees with substantial pensions fleeing the shitholes.

I bought a HUD home back around 2011 (?) and stuck a few dollars into it. I got a retired guy to work with me and the county appraises it at TEN TIMES what I originally paid. I put, maybe 50 K into it (not counting my labor), and they claim it's worth that? Rent is out of sight with these older houses renting for 2 grand plus for older homes built in the 1980s. The home that's been in our family for decades cost an obscene amount in taxes. Never had it appraised. Falling prices haven't hit us yet.
