Cash buyer was likely an investor. Client who bought the sellers next home also an investor. Investors coming in with cash, overpaying and inflating the market. Families looking to buy getting pushed out because its no longer affordable.
I asked my broker, who have have I been loosing out to because I’m a GulfWar Vet. And I was told by him, that they got cash for a few and they did not want VA, because they could not get out of having to do waivers or way over the asking the pricing.
I believe 40% of homes sold in 2020 were to institutional investors so yeah that's possible but in that case I don't think so given how much they overpaid.
Maybe it's 20%www.google.com/amp/s/therealdeal.com/national/2021/04/13/institutional-investors-higher-material-costs-lead-to-rising-home-prices/amp/, but I was pretty sure I heard on the radio more recently it was 40%. Either way not a market I want them messing around in, just going to jack prices up
C'mon man!!! Prices never drop. Land and houses only appreciate in value..... and unicorns and fairies will landscape for you as part of the HOA fees :).
I'm closing on a house next week, the house went on the market on a Saturday, I put in an offer Monday morning. I was the first viewer and first offer, I offered $32k over asking price. I had just lost out on a house where I offered $6k over asking price so I knew I had to offer something to let them know I was serious. You have to really love a home to even think of buying right now.
I’d like to make a suggestion. Perhaps you could do a story on how the great real estate boom is putting more people on the streets. I live just outside of Austin Texas and as a result of this wonderful boom my landlord sold the house I’ve lived in for five years which was fine until I started looking for another place. The rentals have ALSO DOUBLED AND AS A RESULT I’m going to be homeless as of the 31st of May. Many people like me are struggling to find a new home and WE CAN’T. We’re being outbid for apartments by the hundreds. Maybe someone can do a story on how the great “reshuffling” shuffled thousands of us into the streets with no where to go. I’m spending my 54th birthday homeless after working hard all my life. Thanks to whomever is responsible for this.
I'm so sorry to hear this. We live in a disgusting, greedy, society. It's all this is. Housing has become another extortion, like healthcare in America.
@@brokeduece1691 idk when the housing market will crash or if it will, but it’s pretty obvious this is a ridiculous stupid market and not a buyers market at all.
Never trusted the media ... Even in 07 they were saying the market was excellent , yet months after the market crashes, and btw i was in the industry for 12 yrs .. Artificial inflation and low interest rates are not sustainable... The law of gravity will kick in
Took me years to get my act together enough to buy a house. Now I still can't buy a house because I can't afford to outbid someone by 30,000+ over list price. It's almost like, why even try?
Just keep saving! The problem is because there's not many homes on the market!! This video isn't talking about that at all!. People will start selling again.
I hear ya, man. I'm in the same boat. Got a good credit score, money in the bank, but no house. I'll be damned if I pay these top of the market prices.
Apparently you didn't try to buy the same house before the frenzy began. This market will pass and other opportunities will come for those who are prepared through their own hard work, sacrifice, good habits, time spent learning how the system works, etc. Start right now by learning from this and setting goals rather than using it as an excuse to stop trying. That is a life lesson that will bode well for much more than just purchasing a home.
@@jamiesouza there are a TON of houses on the market. Just not in the neighborhoods that EVERYONE wants to live in. But we can't build more of those because of zoning. The suburbs have a ton of houses... surrounded by walmarts and home depots. We used to build walkable neighborhoods.. now walkable means you paid a premium to live in a highrise with a Tom Thumb or a Trader Joes on the first floor...

us single people can’t afford to buy a house now Because the high listing prices and people are offering high even over that... It’s to the point now that people I know that are looking can’t afford to move because of the high prices and offers...
So you're telling me people like Alicia are selling their homes ridiculously high and then purchasing their new home ridiculously high? Ha! The only winners in this market are real estate agents.
I would think she is going to rent and invest the money she made and put her capital to work. The interest even on a boring 5% return annually for upwards of half million would be around $25,000 a year. If you live frugally in a relatively cheap rental, you could skate with working any part time job you wanted until house prices came down and then go house shopping again. At least that’s how I would do it. Unless I’m missing something from the picture.
Banks, finance firms, and agents always win. Even when they lose they win with a huge bailout.
3 года назад+1
How would agents be winning when there are the fewest number of available deals to be made? This market has put more realtors of of business than any other in recent memory.
It's a mystery to me why people are still giving seller's agents a huge cut when the houses are literally selling themselves. Even though buyer's agents theoretically are most useful in a seller's market, I'm hearing lots of stories of potential buyers getting ignored by their agent because the agents can only afford to focus on their most bullish clients. Everyone else will get outbid, so no commission. The real estate industry is structured in a really dumb way. I hope that FSBO start to surge as a result of all of this.
its actually starting to become common in this market, I bought a house back in February and thought about not getting one because the house was relatively new
Ownership of single family homes should be restricted to those who live in them. All institutional, absentee, foreign, and investor ownership of single family homes should be restricted or banned outright. If this is not done, the dream of home ownership will become a dream for most and the USA will become a land of landed aristocrats plus those who rent from landed aristocrats.
It would help if HOMEOWNERS would stop SELLING to investors! If/when I move I have no plans to do so regardless of the price. I want a family who needs a cute affordable house to live here. Not someone treating it as a cash cow. :(
You’re absolutely right. I hate real estate agents. I hate passive income earners. I hate the fact the American Dream in this country is out of reach for a lot of people.
Just started renting in NW Central area in Boise. I pay 1175 for a 2 bedroom apt. 750 square feet. Very dated everything. A renovated unit goes for 1200+ After a 2 mos of searching, this was slightly below the typical rent for this area.
PS - I'm a grad student, who wouldn't qualify for a mortgage loan if I wanted too. I would easily be paying 200-400 a month if I purchased l. But also, everything below 250K in Boise is sold the same week it goes on the market. I'm not sure how this will end, but owning a home is quickly becoming unreachable for most below the age of 35
People are turning these once gorgeous homes into Airbnb’s, families and renters literally don’t have a place to go. I have like three options for apartments in the Valley currently. Two options to buy. Don’t use Airbnb! They are finding this to be a big contributor to the problem!
50 cars lined up in a driveway to pay double for a postage stamp-sized lot and a slapped together house in a suburb that looks* Just Like* all the other houses, in an HOA that puts a lean on your home if you dont do as they say and make your house boring like all the others. No Thank You!! There's a sucker born every minute. Good for sellers and realtors, I guess.
@@donnahagan5018 ugh, sorry. I lived in a condo for 9 years, most of those years were because I bought it just before the market crashed and I literally could not get out of it financially until the market finally started to recover. It was like living in a prison, white backed curtains only, nothing on your balcony, no decorations showing outside, blah blah blah... Fined for not filling out a form about who lives in my house, where I work, pets etc. 300.00 to change a lock because I had to use their locksmith! Finally was able to get the heck out of there and buy a single family non HOA house, where I can put flamingos on the lawn if I want too. Some day you will get out...

The places that are being overpriced are a small part of the market. Its not unlikely that those areas will stay overpriced -- even if there is a bit of correction. This is just a "shuffle" because lots of people can now work remotely. If you are in the areas of CA where they are leaving there has probably been a dip in housing prices already. People in small houses/condos want a home office. People with a bunch of kids want a place with a yard. Everyone is moving "up" at the same time.
The only ones I feel bad for are the young 20-35 year olds that have been priced out of the market because of jerks with money paying ridiculous amounts over a reasonable home price. Looking forward to a crash that corrects all this. Edit: I feel for father's living in campers so the ex and kids can stay in the house. Or the single senior women who can't find safe affordable housing. Or the young couple with small kids who grew up in and stayed in a small town only to be outbid by out of towners.
A crash does not correct all of this, if you look at previous crashes and even if it did you really would not wish for one, if you ever experienced one already!
That's me, 26, great job, great credit, just couldn't compete. And new construction has gotten worse too. Also doesn't help hearing realtors and investors say "buy now or never".
@@ronpagala7496 House is going into a trust for my kid. We always had the idea as a starter house. This bubble will burst soon and I’m hoping everyone can accomplish buying a house.
If remote work is acceptable; why not hire folks in Malaysia, Philippines or India, where the cost of labor is significantly cheaper? People are not thinking this through to its conclusion
@@Iamthepossum Because labor laws should prevent that. Same reason you cannot bring people in from another country to work physically. Most countries already do this because some level of protectionism is necessary. If either is allowed it's usually just so companies can exploit foreigners for their own profits and should be illegal.
Start small get a condo or townhouse at first. It's a circle went nuts in late 90s and early 00s, then it crashed. If you didn't have to buy hold off and wait for a correction if able to. Abd work. Work as much as you can get more cash to have ability to be competative
Oh buck up. The mgt. industry and realtors (look at these fat cats gloating) are up to their old tricks so sit tight and wait for the bubble to pop; sad to say, it will. While you're waiting, bank every red cent. No more craft beers, destination weddings, upgrades, uber-eats. Scrimp! Then go to the library and check out the books on how to buy a house without a realtor. Do your homework and then, when you're ready to buy, sit down with a good real estate lawyer. Don't buy a house with 4 baths, spa tubs, glam fixtures blah, blah, blah. Finally, do a spreadsheet of ALL possible costs and life disasters: leaking roof; do you pay to maintain city trees (we do), sickness, house paint, unemployment, divorce, taxes, pets and travel (you might have to give some things up); lawn service? (mow your own)....do the math and buy exactly what is within your budget. Good luck. ; )
It’s exactly what Californians did to Seattle. Now there’s a mass exodus out of Seattle but everything is insanely expensive there. They can’t go backwards...
You imply there is some special status to being a "local". I think we all live in the same country, USA, you don't get some special dispensation because you were born in a certain locality. "Localism" is a disease!
That old supply and demand thing. The more people there are who want to buy, the higher prices will go, just realtors and apartment block owners can make a profit. Forget there may be residents who grew up there who may be left out in the cold.
@@joeycallahan by them investing in single-family homes instead of high-rises or apartment blocks. I mean they do invest in those as well but they have now commodified housing with all cash buys and can sit on it to get the rate of return they would like without consequence to their bottom line.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Low interest rates and people being able to work from home, as well as wanting to move out of apartments and have more space after Panedic shutdown. You just want to blame it on Wall St bc you wish you were there.
@@CharlotteSoccerHighlights hahaha someone doesn't know history. Look back housing has always appreciated with inflation up until around the 2000s when Wall Street commodified it. We were lucky that it wasn't massive appreciation but this is a natural reaction to market conditions which severely distorts prices because housing no longer function as what it is but as an investment. Try reading some financial history.
As others have commented,no one can afford to live/own a home 🏡 at these prices! Throw in the yearly tax and upkeep, Americans will be in debt for the rest of their lives or homeless!😫😫😫🙏🙏🙏
Like the Yogi Bara quote "Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded!" By definition if something sells at a price, somebody could afford it. This is actually a breakdown of the containment of unaffordable housing to major urban markets. The buyers driving up prices are able to buy larger homes in the best parts of smaller towns by selling their urban armpit condos and bringing their high paying work from home salaries.
I sold my house in what just 5 years ago was a small, nice area just north of Tampa. By awful, i can relate. This once nice place is now overrun by aggressive, obnoxious people from the northeast. I fled. I made a good enough profit and will now just wait until this ridiculous market crashes.
I love how short everyone's memory is. "This time it will be different." or "This isn't a bubble." Here's a history lesson: In the late 1989s, the huge craze was around canned sardines which sold for $100 a pop. In 2000, it was the dot com bubble. In 2008, it was the real estate. In 2020, it's bitcoin. And every single one of those times, prices came tumbling down. Why? Because when people stop being able to afford something, they grow disgusted and lose interest. And when people lose interest, sellers lower prices to bring buyers back. But buyers are still too disgusted at being priced out of the market. So the sellers start undercutting each other to compete for the few buyers left. Over and over again. There's nothing magical or unique about this time around. Long story short, be extremely fearful when everyone is being greedy.

Correct. A LOT of dual income households with 2 decent earners and nothing else they want to spend their money on/. Cheap computers, electronics, furniture, transportation help people just direct their money at their house.
no, they cannot afford them. they are still getting junk loans at 5-10% down. one recession and its over for 90% of states like Colorado and California
The seller market is so good that buyer's in some areas are paying above asking price and foregoing inspections. I have a feeling the next housing bubble will be much worse than 2008.
The big difference is that the buyers DO have the cash to buy. In 2008 banks were giving anyone with a pulse loans. That is not the case now. Millennials have professional jobs that can be done from anywhere.. The market could slow down when interest rates go up. But a financial crash is not likely.
@@RyanWehr You are wrong. Regardless if you are millennial or not, do the work from home or not. The bank lends you the money and that money you have to pay in addition to taxes and insurance. And one thing is real here in the USA, the jobs are not stable.
@@RyanWehr Exactly. Educated millennials who did not do something stupid like rack up massive student loans and work at Starbucks, but those who went into real professional careers have made out well. A corporate job with 15+ years experience is easily a 150k/year position in non-california sectors. Husband/wife pair can easily have a 300k/year household. Not much problem for them to buy a home (outside California at least).
Every house in my neighborhood that comes on the market is snatched up by an investor who makes it a rental. Larger homes get turned into two or more apartments. What used to be a neighborhood of single family owner occupied homes has become one full of rentals. I used to know my neighbors. Now they come and go so fast I have no idea who anyone is.
Sure some millennials have become home owners. I know someone who bought a house that should have been priced for $400k and settled at $600k! That house is not worth what she will now be paying off for years in a market where the property taxes are over $12k! Sure you can move to a rural area but now it’s driving up the market and making housing practically unaffordable in states where these prices should not be as high. Global housing crisis is and will continue to be an issue we face in this country and Co-19 only accelerated this issue!
People are buying houses they can’t afford. If you could buy a doublewide on an acre and be debt free or be 500k in debt in an overpriced house to look rich when you really can’t afford it, it seems people choose the debt option and it’s hilarious
@@jake_of_the_jungle9840 Banks don't loan to people that can't afford to buy. Your loan payment can not exceed 30% of your income. Your double wide will be worth...0 in ten years but a house (if maintained) will continue to appreciate.
Sure I could sell my home for a high price, but then I have to realize that all the other homes are just as highly priced so it really wouldn't be worth it.
I live in California. We bought our house in March 2006 for $370, 000, at the height of the market. By 2009, the value dropped to $270,000, and eventually bottomed out at $167,000 by 2011/12. Currently, the market value is $410,000. My husband would love to sell, but I fear the market is going to crash again and it'll be 2009 all over again.

@@tahira.7914 i mean it might sound great for us as house owners.. but if we needed to buy we would also have to be overpaying and getting into bidding wars..
I bought my house in Boise in January 2020. Now it's worth $250k or more over what I paid. The house being finished next to me which is identical sold for this higher price, and that sale was made months ago, so maybe add another $50k to that number? In my neighborhood, which is all new houses, the streets are full of brand new expensive vehicles, airstream trailers and the like. Saw a brand new Ferrari the other day parked on the street still with dealer tags. I guess all those Californians are selling their shoeboxes in Silicon Valley for $2M and paying cash for a new place here and spending the rest on brand new glamping gear. All the Boise natives will need to move to Mountain Home and commute I suppose.
I’m thankful the sellers of my current home were nice people and didn’t sell to all the investors that wanted the house. Luckily the dollar wasn’t most important. Because I had none to compete 😂. But the way I loved the house and their hard work on it with the hopes I’d preserve it was my winning bid.
Aaaaand this why I encourage any and all trash talk about Florida. The more these people think of us as the trash bag of the country, the more they’ll stay away and keep our housing affordable for longer.
But Florida has always attracted a lot of outsiders-- retirees, millionaires avoiding taxes, northerners sick of the cold. This shouldn't be a new phenomenon down there.
Please stop saying “the great reshuffle” like it’s something to be optimistic about. These effects have a great impact on the market in the long term. The US isn’t well suited for a long term demand for housing, which means there will be a lot of people displaced because of this. Sure you can sell your house for a high price, but if you can’t afford to buy a house after selling yours, then how good is the market? Just food for thought.
These are turnkey homes in good locations. Don't want to pay a premium? Be willing to do a bit of work and don't buy in the "hot" locations. Walkable, in town, ready-to-move-in properties command a premium price... who knew?
But where is the Boise seller going? That's the problem. If I sell my house, where do I go? I get a great price for my house but I have to spend that on a house that is probably smaller and/or further away.
The Boise seller is going to Idaho Falls, Pocatello, or Twin Falls. Some go further and go north into Moscow or East to Montana or Wyoming. Theyre the next booms.

Where do people have so much money from to be able to buy 30-50% above asking price?? I always heard that people were living from paycheck to paycheck and my wife said about 75 percent of Americans are only 1.5 months away from being on zero. So I see everyone buying houses for almost double price. Where’s the money coming from??? I make good living but I sure wouldn’t waste my earnings that I sacrificed my time for to buy a house for 150% because I m not stupid. So it’s actually a good question to ask, why are so many people stupid? They not wasting 10 grand, they are wasting 40-50 -150 grand and more!!! Wasting!!! That’s definitely stupid!!
Lots of folks made plenty of money. A silicon valley developer over the past 10 years was raking in over 200k/year with options on top of that. Save that money, cash out the options, and you have more than enough for cash offers, especially if you're married and have a two income household.

Get rid of the speculators, investment firms, and flippers. When real estate becomes a means of portfolio success, it’s lost all touch with reality! Just waiting for the bubble to burst.

That was an entirely different situation. This wasn’t driven by regular economic factors (like Bush 2.0), but by a pandemic. We just bought a home and then sold at home. The latter happened by the first buyer through, and elderly couple with cash. Don’t hate
Every boom and bust is different. Why prices rose and why they fell are different each time. But prices won't keep accelerating at warp speed, because ultimately you can have your house assessed for whatever you want, but it's only really worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Thank God my husband talked me into getting our house back in 2009, only had a few others interested, we even asked for improvements and they did it!!!

i just closed on my house in March, i had to switch from FHA to Conventional, and had to pay closing costs, but i still had the inspection and appraisal, we got extremely lucky, it was the 5th house we put an offer in, me and my fiance are both in our mid 20s and in Las Vegas
i was in vegas 2 weeks ago and the heat was unbearable i am a cable guy i could not work outside over there at least in the summer months i will stay in los angeles but congrats with your new house and i hope you and your fiance work indoors because the extreme heat i experience was just too much for me
I would NEVER be desperate enough for a house to forgo the inspection. You don't know what problems you may be getting. I also would NEVER buy a house based on a virtual viewing. Glad I'm not in buying mode.
National attention like this will only push prices in Boise even higher. We're lucky, we own, but I feel bad for others starting out trying to find an affordable place to live in the valley. Feels like another wealth transfer from younger to older, from poorer to richer, and Millennials getting shafted yet again.
As a realtor in Southern California, this is accurate but the reason why the market exploded here is because of the drop in interest rate and all this “free” money going around.
Also please note “the great exodus” is 200k in contrast to how many people are moving into the state it’s nothing. People can’t afford to make it in California but it continues to be the hub for influence and economy over the rest of the country. Just purchased our second home in the inland empire.
$65k over asking, all closing cost included and allowing the seller to remain in the house for an additional five months???... homebuyers are competing with investors!
Makes me so happy to live in VT in my little ranch house, paid off, even with 6 months of winter. This situation truly is insane and I do feel for folks who are trying to purchase their first home or looking to move to a more family friendly place.
Since most jobs are based on cost-of-living in the area, I wonder if local Boise jobs will have to start paying more. I know they will definitely NOT pay more until they HAVE to due to labor shortages, but otherwise people will have to seek remote work if they want to survive in Boise.
Work from home has always been an option for people who are so in-demand the company accommodates them. Most CEO's want relationships and cohesion among their staff. The glaring lack of accountability us another thing. You hear about the guy who was driving Uber while he remote worked from his regular job 🤣. So typical.
I could make the same argument there’s people that are more productive working from home. What makes the world go round is money and corporations are always looking for ways to cut costs and increase profits. Remote work opens up a broader network for employers to hire from, and you don’t have all the costs of having an office building.
It's all about command and control. It's a rarity that someone gets hired over a Zoom call who is more than a 90 minute drive away. Consultants 1099ers....sure, anywhere. Employees? Not really done, too many potential complications. A simple office visit becomes a plane ride, cross-training means Hotel stays....and on and on. The media is usually wrong about these things, the offices will fill back up.
These these people are ruining my town of Las Vegas. They’re coming in here and paying way way way over the asking price just because they got a bunch of money from their home sales in California. They’re jacking up the prices here in my town those of us that are from here aren’t even able to buy a home. And I’m looking in the five and $600,000 range. Still can’t find anything. I refuse to pay 100,000 over asking price. These people need to stay where they’re from!!!
One thing you can do is if you see a house that’s empty, check the parcel search to find out who owns it and see if the owner wants to sell. This way you bypass the realtors who don’t do much and make lots of money off of you.
The problem is this great reshuffle is ruining these smaller towns where the locals are still getting paid a local wage. These Californians are also destroying the way of life in Boise.
There is no reshuffling some ppl left Cali but there was a housing explosion in Cali during lockdown w/ massive amounts of homes being built especially on fire prone hillsides. Built under the guise of housing shortage. These homes are probably investment homes. Homes buying is a great way to launder money.
Definitely. It differs from the knee 15 years ago but the results will essentially be the same. I'm holding saving more and waiting for the bubble to burst.
It's been like that in CA for last 20 years, since tech came in...the weird thing is that even though we keep hearing that people are moving out of CA in droves and yet the housing market here in San Francisco is hot. Houses listed at 1.2 million are going for 1.5 or more...and only stay on the market for 5 days if that.
Why would they? If they’ve experienced that a mostly remote workforce only enhancing their corporate labor allocation posture, it’s profitable to make that the dominant model.
@@alley5869some companies are already in long term leases with buildings that is the issue... is it cheaper to break those leases or make people come to work now that restrictions are loosened or gone?
Not the usual in this case but moved from NY to the Bay Area last fall. It was insane looking for a house. A tear down rebuilt home in Oakland we looked at went for $1M over asking! It was the tiny cottage that hooked the buyers. Other then the prices here it was impossible to find an inspector and/or engineer (earthquakes here) to inspect the home. They were backlogged for weeks.
A positive fallout from the pandemic but not so great for the locals when prices go up! Im in a West Coast adjacent state and yes we had a strong influx from Cali mainly due to high cost of living (politics are secondary) but the greater migration seems to be from Texas of all places. But its been really great to be able to choose where you live and not have to base it on how far your work commute will be. Ive been doing it since 2017 and LOVE it.
I'm in Texas and that has not been my experience. I've been trying to buy a house for over a year and am constantly losing offers to cash buyers/investors.
@@marywalters1181 That's because there are still many people moving TO Texas as well from California especially to take advantage of it growing popularity as a new center of technology. The housing grab you're talking about sounds familiar. That happened in NV and AZ in the early 2000s. I know your pain!
It's almost like decades of systematically restricting housing supply in the name of "protecting the investment" of people who already own real estate may have been a bad idea.
My current neighborhood built in 1940's average about 1000 sq ft, 2-3 bedrooms, 1 bath. People raised large families in these houses. Look at the houses people are wanting and they say they can't afford....they're huge. Every kid has to have their own suite, kitchens with crazy finishes and more cabinets than 4 houses used to have. Well of course many people can't afford that. But they think that is now a "normal" house. Just a few years ago we called them mansions. It's true many people will not be able to afford "normal" houses as long as we keep expanding sizes and finishes. Boomers are in houses they bought when those houses were considered huge and millennials want those same houses which they consider "small". Then we say there is something wrong with the market.
Nobody called a 1000sq ft 2 bed or even a 3bedroom with 1 bathroom a "mansion". That's a typical living space for a family of 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 people. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Thats a rather common sizes space though. Whether you call it large or small is perception, either way that space is needed and I hope society stops making giant multi-million dollar 50,000 sq ft homes for a family of 3 simply due to money. The world needs people to care about their environmental impact more than money. I would hope folks like yourself would *also* realize that. We can all share and make it work.
Well I don't know where YOU live but in the hottest (aka 'safest') neighborhoods in Atlanta, the little house you've just described will be no less than $350k. That's still out of reach for a lot of people's first home. People also look for bigger houses nowadays because most likely, their kids will be living there for many more years than people did back in the 50s & 60s when folks still got married in their teens!
Oh man you are so out of touch it's not even funny. You explained a small fraction of one side of the coin. I dont even think homes are being built below 1000 square feet, unless their custom built (in which case their owners likely have lots of money or it's a "small house" or pre manufactured, which only further negates your point) or their intended for HUD qualifiers (in which case, are generally families of 2-5 people, further negating your point). BTW, the qualifications for HUD are AT LEAST 30% below median income, with average recipients being closer to 50%. These are not giant, exbortently built homes - I've been in a few in my neighborhood, barebones and their probably around 900-1200 square feet. Most of them have at least 4 people living in them. Think of all the people who do not make that 30% cutoff, or like myself dont want any "handdouts" regardless: above average education and slightly above median income. The small house you described is highly sought after, despite being 50+ years old, while the newer larger homes being built are even further out of reach.
My own humble place shot up over $100k on zillow in 2 months because of this crazy stuff going on. I wonder what happens if fed rates ever go above zero? One downside i see is local people are priced out of the market when Big Corporations come in to buy as an investment or West or East Coast people come in with alot of cash after they sell their $2 million shack in their home state.
Because your government has allowed banks,builders,investors and every other financial pirate to make speculative money off of shelter. Shelter should be a public utility like water or electricity.
There’s a specific reason why Boise is really hot right now. I live in the area and we received SOOOOO many people from Seattle and Portland who sold their homes there to buy a bigger and nicer home in Idaho and it’s making the market here really hot. While it’s good for home prices, a lot of my friends who lived here there whole lives can’t even buy a home and are unable to build their personal wealth.
We've run into houses that were bought by investors at reasonable prices and then upgraded with unecessary glitz and put back on the market for 100,000 more than the home is worth. And they are getting it. I dont need marble countertops and rose gold bathroom fixtures in a 1200 square foot home appraised at only 115,000.
Have you ever seen those house-hunter shows, where the young couple is looking at an $800,000.00 house? First they say, "It MAY NOT be in our budget." Then they say, "This [perfectly functional kitchen] needs updating." WHY??? First of all, where do they work? Secondly, are there any openings? One time, I looked at a two-family house. (It was actually a one-family house, with the second floor converted to an apartment.) The first-floor kitchen had a hideously ugly, lime-green electric stove. The realtor apologized for it. I asked, "Does it still work?" She said, "Still like new." I replied, "Good enough for me!"
So wherever she goes, she will be priced out because her salary did not expand to be able to afford the new inflated market prices. Better to stay put. She can take her profit and buy smaller is about all... With it being a buyer's market, she could risk not finding anything... This is another bubble...
She will probably be moving to a suburb, 40/50 minutes outside of boise, they are growing like crazy. Yes she will be paying half million for a nicer new track home with a few custom features. But her home was probably in north end (highly desirable area) so she got a pretty Penny. She will definitely come out ahead.
Even though we bought before the hot market exploded we could make a very nice profit selling but would end up spending the profit on another house. Have already been contacted about selling, nope love the house and not going anywhere but please keep bidding up the sales prices I want to see my equity climb higher
Many Americans have never taken a vacation and have worked for over 45 years. We have never had a vacation can't afford it with the high costs of living.
@@gloriahanes5338 Yes. I once traveled the USA. I slept in a bed and breakfast. At the Breakfast table parents told me how exhausting work life in the US can be. Beside that they liked living in the US.
I just did that on my property and am selling a rental unit. Price shot up 20% in the past 2 months and realtor says the sales price may keep floating upwards. I'm selling before the crash...
IF the housing market crashes the prices won’t drop as much as they have increased in the past few years. If you can’t afford a house now then you won’t afford them after the ‘crash’. Your just going to compete with big firms buying more rentals.
My parents lived in Ridgewood NJ and we've recently sold our house above the asking price in a matter of weeks. It was nuts, we had one hundred walk-throughs and multiple offers. We sold the home at close to a million when we initially put it on the market for 930,000. It was pretty nuts but we sold at the right time and now our house is probably worth even more. We sold right when this covid crisis was getting worse last June so that played a large role with our town having a direct train into Manhattan and being around an hour and twenty from the city. So we had a lot of people from the city looking to buy our house since they were nervous of lockdowns and being locked in their small apartments. It was a wild ride.
My parents sold their house in Demarest NJ and retired, moved to central Jersey. They were asking $725K and got $775K. The retirement condo in central Jersey was $400K. Mom always hated people who drove a BMW; now she wants one! I told her NO because I watch Scotty Kilmer all the time; we'll see.
Also, even though housing prices are increasing, which may increase general cost of living in that area, are companies willing to still pay same rates if you now live in an area where cost of living is significantly lower than the metro areas?
I've been trying to find a place to rent for the past few months and haven't been able to find anything affordable either. The ones I am able to afford either want a 600 or 700 credit score or your income must be 3x the rent! Apartment complexes are being advertised the most as the most affordable option but I don't want to pay for a gym and pools and other amenities we'll never use, or have people literally in your face!
Having rent being 33% of your income is pretty reasonable though, when someone’s housing expenses are greater than 40-50% of their income the risk of not being able to make payments is really high and property owners are aware of that. Fortunately having a 700 credit score is pretty easy, just pay down the credit cards and set up autopay on all of them and it can get in the 600-700 range in a few years.
I call bs on the offer to overpay by 50% and buy next home. No 'investor' would have to be that extreme when just paying 50% more for the home would be grabbed with both fist. Zillow has our zestimate at $828k. If we were going to sell, we'd put it on this market at $1m and will hold out for that 'investor' to give us $1.5m and buy our next home
Ahhh your Zestimate. Do you know what the "A" in Zillow stand for? "Accuracy". :-) I've seen the Zestimate on my house and I just have to laugh. They aren't comparing it to anything similar.
The market is crazy as are some people. You never know. My coworker offered $600K on a $500K townhouse (a freakin' townhouse) and was outbid by another $30K!
But here's the thing about Boise, if you lose your "fancy" California tech job, good luck finding something in the area to replace it with and something at the same or similar pay. Several years ago my company had a transfer opportunity to Boise. I would be moving from a moderately-sized metro area on the east coast. I had a moderate but livable salary. Our branch in Boise could not afford me. Another thing this story doesn't point out, a lot of these companies make their employees take a cost of living adjustment (mine did) if they move out of the local area of their original job. Since a Boise salary can not compete with certain California salaries in any way, shape, or form, and when they tire of Boise (and they will) and have that first taste of a Boise winter, these same people are going to be hard-pressed to come back to California. People really need to make sure to do their research and think twice about doing this.
I get paid twice as much in Texas as I did in California. Wages are depressed there because so many people want to live there. I am not seeing this higher pay in California that everyone is talking about. I work in biotech.
@@roberte.andrews4621 If I come back I'll have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars over people who stayed and will have no problem buying if I need to scoop up a third property. Also leaving let me rent my old place out. It's a win, win, win situation.
Dear Lady from Idaho, When your house sells in 48 hours for $65k over asking with 150 showings and numerous offers in cash, it means you sold your house for too little, and are on the beginning of a sharp rise in value, which means that by waiting more than 5 months to lock in your next house, you may end up losing those gains to buy your next house. Mark my words, your old house will sell for 30% more in one year.
Cash buyer was likely an investor. Client who bought the sellers next home also an investor. Investors coming in with cash, overpaying and inflating the market. Families looking to buy getting pushed out because its no longer affordable.
Yup, thought the same thing. Happening all over Austin.
I asked my broker, who have have I been loosing out to because I’m a GulfWar Vet. And I was told by him, that they got cash for a few and they did not want VA, because they could not get out of having to do waivers or way over the asking the pricing.
I believe 40% of homes sold in 2020 were to institutional investors so yeah that's possible but in that case I don't think so given how much they overpaid.
Maybe it's 20%www.google.com/amp/s/therealdeal.com/national/2021/04/13/institutional-investors-higher-material-costs-lead-to-rising-home-prices/amp/, but I was pretty sure I heard on the radio more recently it was 40%. Either way not a market I want them messing around in, just going to jack prices up
@@eddyeroyal6024 why does it matter that you are a GulfWar vet? How does that make you different than the other buyers?

Selling your home is easy. Trying to find a new one is darn near impossible. It is like a game of musical chairs.
I think that's the part some people do not understand.
I'm closing on a house next week, the house went on the market on a Saturday, I put in an offer Monday morning. I was the first viewer and first offer, I offered $32k over asking price. I had just lost out on a house where I offered $6k over asking price so I knew I had to offer something to let them know I was serious. You have to really love a home to even think of buying right now.

I’d like to make a suggestion. Perhaps you could do a story on how the great real estate boom is putting more people on the streets. I live just outside of Austin Texas and as a result of this wonderful boom my landlord sold the house I’ve lived in for five years which was fine until I started looking for another place. The rentals have ALSO DOUBLED AND AS A RESULT I’m going to be homeless as of the 31st of May. Many people like me are struggling to find a new home and WE CAN’T. We’re being outbid for apartments by the hundreds. Maybe someone can do a story on how the great “reshuffling” shuffled thousands of us into the streets with no where to go. I’m spending my 54th birthday homeless after working hard all my life. Thanks to whomever is responsible for this.
I’m so sorry to hear this :/ I really hope something good happens for you 💜
I’m deeply sorry for your plight! I will pray that you will find a place to live!

I’m in the same boat as you.
Apparently you didn't try to buy the same house before the frenzy began. This market will pass and other opportunities will come for those who are prepared through their own hard work, sacrifice, good habits, time spent learning how the system works, etc. Start right now by learning from this and setting goals rather than using it as an excuse to stop trying. That is a life lesson that will bode well for much more than just purchasing a home.
@@jamiesouza there are a TON of houses on the market. Just not in the neighborhoods that EVERYONE wants to live in. But we can't build more of those because of zoning. The suburbs have a ton of houses... surrounded by walmarts and home depots.

The only winners in this market are real estate agents.
Yes they are cashing in serious money.
I would think she is going to rent and invest the money she made and put her capital to work. The interest even on a boring 5% return annually for upwards of half million would be around $25,000 a year. If you live frugally in a relatively cheap rental, you could skate with working any part time job you wanted until house prices came down and then go house shopping again. At least that’s how I would do it. Unless I’m missing something from the picture.
Banks, finance firms, and agents always win. Even when they lose they win with a huge bailout.
How would agents be winning when there are the fewest number of available deals to be made? This market has put more realtors of of business than any other in recent memory.
It's a mystery to me why people are still giving seller's agents a huge cut when the houses are literally selling themselves.
Even though buyer's agents theoretically are most useful in a seller's market, I'm hearing lots of stories of potential buyers getting ignored by their agent because the agents can only afford to focus on their most bullish clients. Everyone else will get outbid, so no commission.
The real estate industry is structured in a really dumb way. I hope that FSBO start to surge as a result of all of this.

Ownership of single family homes should be restricted to those who live in them. All institutional, absentee, foreign, and investor ownership of single family homes should be restricted or banned outright. If this is not done, the dream of home ownership will become a dream for most and the USA will become a land of landed aristocrats plus those who rent from landed aristocrats.
It would help if HOMEOWNERS would stop SELLING to investors! If/when I move I have no plans to do so regardless of the price. I want a family who needs a cute affordable house to live here. Not someone treating it as a cash cow. :(
Right on the money. I've been saying this for awhile now people seem to thing this is too extreme for some reason.

@@johnboy32064 have you always been so poor?
Hate to think what their apartment rents are like! Since every time a real estate boom happens like this, those rents go up also.
Rents are starting to exceed to cost of a 30-year mortgage on an average priced home in many areas.
They are insane here in Phoenix, Arizona😞
One bedroom is $1,400 a month and home price close to $400k in south Florida. Median salary is &45k. Locals can not afford the skyrocketing costs.
Just started renting in NW Central area in Boise. I pay 1175 for a 2 bedroom apt. 750 square feet. Very dated everything. A renovated unit goes for 1200+
After a 2 mos of searching, this was slightly below the typical rent for this area.
PS - I'm a grad student, who wouldn't qualify for a mortgage loan if I wanted too. I would easily be paying 200-400 a month if I purchased l. But also, everything below 250K in Boise is sold the same week it goes on the market. I'm not sure how this will end, but owning a home is quickly becoming unreachable for most below the age of 35

The places that are being overpriced are a small part of the market. Its not unlikely that those areas will stay overpriced -- even if there is a bit of correction.
This is just a "shuffle" because lots of people can now work remotely. If you are in the areas of CA where they are leaving there has probably been a dip in housing prices already. People in small houses/condos want a home office. People with a bunch of kids want a place with a yard. Everyone is moving "up" at the same time.
The only ones I feel bad for are the young 20-35 year olds that have been priced out of the market because of jerks with money paying ridiculous amounts over a reasonable home price. Looking forward to a crash that corrects all this.
Edit: I feel for father's living in campers so the ex and kids can stay in the house. Or the single senior women who can't find safe affordable housing. Or the young couple with small kids who grew up in and stayed in a small town only to be outbid by out of towners.
That’s me 😅 I’m 27, have a good job and credit. Just couldn’t go 30,000 over price.

@@Iamthepossum Because labor laws should prevent that. Same reason you cannot bring people in from another country to work physically.

Start small get a condo or townhouse at first. It's a circle went nuts in late 90s and early 00s, then it crashed. If you didn't have to buy hold off and wait for a correction if able to. Abd work. Work as much as you can get more cash to have ability to be competative

Then go to the library and check out the books on how to buy a house without a realtor. Do your homework and then, when you're ready to buy, sit down with a good real estate lawyer. Don't buy a house with 4 baths, spa tubs, glam fixtures blah, blah, blah. Finally, do a spreadsheet of ALL possible costs and life disasters: leaking roof; do you pay to maintain city trees (we do), sickness, house paint, unemployment, divorce, taxes, pets and travel (you might have to give some things up); lawn service? (mow your own)....do the math and buy exactly what is within your budget. Good luck. ; )

I love the fact that the piece did not bring up the fact that wall st is helping to artificially inflate home prices right now.
I'm sincerely NOT challenging you, but I'm asking how.
That old supply and demand thing. The more people there are who want to buy, the higher prices will go, just realtors and apartment block owners can make a profit. Forget there may be residents who grew up there who may be left out in the cold.
@@joeycallahan by them investing in single-family homes instead of high-rises or apartment blocks. I mean they do invest in those as well but they have now commodified housing with all cash buys and can sit on it to get the rate of return they would like without consequence to their bottom line.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Low interest rates and people being able to work from home, as well as wanting to move out of apartments and have more space after Panedic shutdown. You just want to blame it on Wall St bc you wish you were there.
@@CharlotteSoccerHighlights hahaha someone doesn't know history. Look back housing has always appreciated with inflation up until around the 2000s when Wall Street commodified it. We were lucky that it wasn't massive appreciation but this is a natural reaction to market conditions which severely distorts prices because housing no longer function as what it is but as an investment. Try reading some financial history.
As others have commented,no one can afford to live/own a home 🏡 at these prices! Throw in the yearly tax and upkeep, Americans will be in debt for the rest of their lives or homeless!😫😫😫🙏🙏🙏
Like the Yogi Bara quote "Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded!" By definition if something sells at a price, somebody could afford it.
This is actually a breakdown of the containment of unaffordable housing to major urban markets. The buyers driving up prices are able to buy larger homes in the best parts of smaller towns by selling their urban armpit condos and bringing their high paying work from home salaries.
Feel bad for the people who grew up there and now can't afford to live there
Small towns are experiencing what big cities have been going through
Too bad so sad. they can rent from me. it's a wolfs market.
I live in a smaller city. The people moving here are awful and yeah pricing us out of our homes. It is sad what is happening
Why awful
This is what actual Californians have had to deal with for the last 50 years. Now the tides have turned.
What city is that?
The blue wave is coming near you 😂
I sold my house in what just 5 years ago was a small, nice area just north of Tampa. By awful, i can relate. This once nice place is now overrun by aggressive, obnoxious people from the northeast. I fled. I made a good enough profit and will now just wait until this ridiculous market crashes.
I love how short everyone's memory is. "This time it will be different." or "This isn't a bubble." Here's a history lesson: In the late 1989s, the huge craze was around canned sardines which sold for $100 a pop. In 2000, it was the dot com bubble. In 2008, it was the real estate. In 2020, it's bitcoin. And every single one of those times, prices came tumbling down. Why? Because when people stop being able to afford something, they grow disgusted and lose interest. And when people lose interest, sellers lower prices to bring buyers back. But buyers are still too disgusted at being priced out of the market. So the sellers start undercutting each other to compete for the few buyers left. Over and over again. There's nothing magical or unique about this time around.
Long story short, be extremely fearful when everyone is being greedy.
Are people being greedy or scared to miss out
I don't remember the sardine thing.

The difference this time is that the people buying the houses as can actually afford them, they’re not getting subprime mortgages with nothing down.
Correct. A LOT of dual income households with 2 decent earners and nothing else they want to spend their money on/. Cheap computers, electronics, furniture, transportation help people just direct their money at their house.
no, they cannot afford them. they are still getting junk loans at 5-10% down. one recession and its over for 90% of states like Colorado and California
@@andrewevans5750 % of cash buyers is staggeringly high - by definition they can afford it.
The seller market is so good that buyer's in some areas are paying above asking price and foregoing inspections. I have a feeling the next housing bubble will be much worse than 2008.
The big difference is that the buyers DO have the cash to buy. In 2008 banks were giving anyone with a pulse loans. That is not the case now. Millennials have professional jobs that can be done from anywhere.. The market could slow down when interest rates go up. But a financial crash is not likely.
@@RyanWehr I wonder if fed rates will ever go above zero again?
@@RyanWehr You are wrong. Regardless if you are millennial or not, do the work from home or not. The bank lends you the money and that money you have to pay in addition to taxes and insurance. And one thing is real here in the USA, the jobs are not stable.
@@RyanWehr Exactly. Educated millennials who did not do something stupid like rack up massive student loans and work at Starbucks, but those who went into real professional careers have made out well. A corporate job with 15+ years experience is easily a 150k/year position in non-california sectors. Husband/wife pair can easily have a 300k/year household. Not much problem for them to buy a home (outside California at least).
Every house in my neighborhood that comes on the market is snatched up by an investor who makes it a rental. Larger homes get turned into two or more apartments. What used to be a neighborhood of single family owner occupied homes has become one full of rentals. I used to know my neighbors. Now they come and go so fast I have no idea who anyone is.
This is not safe for the neighborhoods either. Neighbors typically look out for each other. No real neighbors, whose watching?
Sure some millennials have become home owners. I know someone who bought a house that should have been priced for $400k and settled at $600k! That house is not worth what she will now be paying off for years in a market where the property taxes are over $12k! Sure you can move to a rural area but now it’s driving up the market and making housing practically unaffordable in states where these prices should not be as high. Global housing crisis is and will continue to be an issue we face in this country and Co-19 only accelerated this issue!

I live in California. We bought our house in March 2006 for $370, 000, at the height of the market. By 2009, the value dropped to $270,000, and eventually bottomed out at $167,000 by 2011/12. Currently, the market value is $410,000. My husband would love to sell, but I fear the market is going to crash again and it'll be 2009 all over again.
Exactly it’s a wash. This only hurts people trying to buy homes for the first time. It’s unfortunate

I bought my house in Boise in January 2020. Now it's worth $250k or more over what I paid. The house being finished next to me which is identical sold for this higher price, and that sale was made months ago, so maybe add another $50k to that number? In my neighborhood, which is all new houses, the streets are full of brand new expensive vehicles, airstream trailers and the like. Saw a brand new Ferrari the other day parked on the street still with dealer tags. I guess all those Californians are selling their shoeboxes in Silicon Valley for $2M and paying cash for a new place here and spending the rest on brand new glamping gear. All the Boise natives will need to move to Mountain Home and commute I suppose.
It’s not real money, it’s inflation.
Sell it, where you gona live ?
I’m thankful the sellers of my current home were nice people and didn’t sell to all the investors that wanted the house. Luckily the dollar wasn’t most important. Because I had none to compete 😂. But the way I loved the house and their hard work on it with the hopes I’d preserve it was my winning bid.
Aaaaand this why I encourage any and all trash talk about Florida. The more these people think of us as the trash bag of the country, the more they’ll stay away and keep our housing affordable for longer.
It's already happening here in Florida. A lot of outsider I can't even drive around anymore.
But Florida has always attracted a lot of outsiders-- retirees, millionaires avoiding taxes, northerners sick of the cold. This shouldn't be a new phenomenon down there.
Please stop saying “the great reshuffle” like it’s something to be optimistic about. These effects have a great impact on the market in the long term. The US isn’t well suited for a long term demand for housing, which means there will be a lot of people displaced because of this. Sure you can sell your house for a high price, but if you can’t afford to buy a house after selling yours, then how good is the market?
Just food for thought.
Agreed. Meanwhile this host seems positively giddy over this bull mess.
Well, it is appropriate. After all, who is best at "shuffling"? A card-cheat who deals from the bottom of the deck!
These are turnkey homes in good locations. Don't want to pay a premium? Be willing to do a bit of work and don't buy in the "hot" locations. Walkable, in town, ready-to-move-in properties command a premium price... who knew?
@@redwolfexr yeah sure, because there’s plenty of “walkable, in town” homes in the suburbs (which is where most housing is being bought).
@@redwolfexr Also, if you can’t understand how $100k to $1 mil over asking price is a premium price and is acceptable, you’re delusional.
But where is the Boise seller going? That's the problem. If I sell my house, where do I go? I get a great price for my house but I have to spend that on a house that is probably smaller and/or further away.
That’s why you don’t sell your house buddy. It is your house if paid in full.
The Boise seller is going to Idaho Falls, Pocatello, or Twin Falls. Some go further and go north into Moscow or East to Montana or Wyoming. Theyre the next booms.

Every boom and bust is different. Why prices rose and why they fell are different each time. But prices won't keep accelerating at warp speed, because ultimately you can have your house assessed for whatever you want, but it's only really worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
That's right, always buy low and sell high.

As a realtor in Southern California, this is accurate but the reason why the market exploded here is because of the drop in interest rate and all this “free” money going around.

Since most jobs are based on cost-of-living in the area, I wonder if local Boise jobs will have to start paying more. I know they will definitely NOT pay more until they HAVE to due to labor shortages, but otherwise people will have to seek remote work if they want to survive in Boise.

Job market in Boise is garbage. If you’re looking for work there you’re doomed.
What happens when companies start telling their employees that they need them back in the office. 😱
Why? It’s cheaper to have remote employees.
Work from home has always been an option for people who are so in-demand the company accommodates them. Most CEO's want relationships and cohesion among their staff. The glaring lack of accountability us another thing. You hear about the guy who was driving Uber while he remote worked from his regular job 🤣. So typical.
@@jmango5370 more productive if they are supervised.
I could make the same argument there’s people that are more productive working from home. What makes the world go round is money and corporations are always looking for ways to cut costs and increase profits. Remote work opens up a broader network for employers to hire from, and you don’t have all the costs of having an office building.
It's all about command and control. It's a rarity that someone gets hired over a Zoom call who is more than a 90 minute drive away. Consultants 1099ers....sure, anywhere. Employees? Not really done, too many potential complications. A simple office visit becomes a plane ride, cross-training means Hotel stays....and on and on. The media is usually wrong about these things, the offices will fill back up.
These these people are ruining my town of Las Vegas. They’re coming in here and paying way way way over the asking price just because they got a bunch of money from their home sales in California. They’re jacking up the prices here in my town those of us that are from here aren’t even able to buy a home. And I’m looking in the five and $600,000 range. Still can’t find anything. I refuse to pay 100,000 over asking price. These people need to stay where they’re from!!!
So when are leaving the US ? Hahahahaha.
Everyone loves capitalism until they don’t 😂
totally agree!!!!
One thing you can do is if you see a house that’s empty, check the parcel search to find out who owns it and see if the owner wants to sell. This way you bypass the realtors who don’t do much and make lots of money off of you.
The problem is this great reshuffle is ruining these smaller towns where the locals are still getting paid a local wage. These Californians are also destroying the way of life in Boise.
Californians destroy everything.
There is no reshuffling some ppl left Cali but there was a housing explosion in Cali during lockdown w/ massive amounts of homes being built especially on fire prone hillsides. Built under the guise of housing shortage. These homes are probably investment homes. Homes buying is a great way to launder money.

It's been like that in CA for last 20 years, since tech came in...the weird thing is that even though we keep hearing that people are moving out of CA in droves and yet the housing market here in San Francisco is hot.

Not the usual in this case but moved from NY to the Bay Area last fall. It was insane looking for a house. A tear down rebuilt home in Oakland we looked at went for $1M over asking! It was the tiny cottage that hooked the buyers. Other then the prices here it was impossible to find an inspector and/or engineer (earthquakes here) to inspect the home. They were backlogged for weeks.
A positive fallout from the pandemic but not so great for the locals when prices go up! Im in a West Coast adjacent state and yes we had a strong influx from Cali mainly due to high cost of living (politics are secondary) but the greater migration seems to be from Texas of all places.

I'm in Texas and that has not been my experience. I've been trying to buy a house for over a year and am constantly losing offers to cash buyers/investors.
@@marywalters1181 That's because there are still many people moving TO Texas as well from California especially to take advantage of it growing popularity as a new center of technology. The housing grab you're talking about sounds familiar. That happened in NV and AZ in the early 2000s. I know your pain!
It's almost like decades of systematically restricting housing supply in the name of "protecting the investment" of people who already own real estate may have been a bad idea.

My current neighborhood built in 1940's average about 1000 sq ft, 2-3 bedrooms, 1 bath. People raised large families in these houses. Look at the houses people are wanting and they say they can't afford....they're huge. Every kid has to have their own suite, kitchens with crazy finishes and more cabinets than 4 houses used to have. Well of course many people can't afford that. But they think that is now a "normal" house. Just a few years ago we called them mansions. It's true many people will not be able to afford "normal" houses as long as we keep expanding sizes and finishes.
Boomers are in houses they bought when those houses were considered huge and millennials want those same houses which they consider "small". Then we say there is something wrong with the market.
Nobody called a 1000sq ft 2 bed or even a 3bedroom with 1 bathroom a "mansion". That's a typical living space for a family of 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 people. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Thats a rather common sizes space though. Whether you call it large or small is perception, either way that space is needed and I hope society stops making giant multi-million dollar 50,000 sq ft homes for a family of 3 simply due to money. The world needs people to care about their environmental impact more than money. I would hope folks like yourself would *also* realize that. We can all share and make it work.
Well I don't know where YOU live but in the hottest (aka 'safest') neighborhoods in Atlanta, the little house you've just described will be no less than $350k. That's still out of reach for a lot of people's first home. People also look for bigger houses nowadays because most likely, their kids will be living there for many more years than people did back in the 50s & 60s when folks still got married in their teens!
Oh man you are so out of touch it's not even funny. You explained a small fraction of one side of the coin. I dont even think homes are being built below 1000 square feet, unless their custom built (in which case their owners likely have lots of money or it's a "small house" or pre manufactured, which only further negates your point) or their intended for HUD qualifiers (in which case, are generally families of 2-5 people, further negating your point). BTW, the qualifications for HUD are AT LEAST 30% below median income, with average recipients being closer to 50%. These are not giant, exbortently built homes - I've been in a few in my neighborhood, barebones and their probably around 900-1200 square feet. Most of them have at least 4 people living in them.
Think of all the people who do not make that 30% cutoff, or like myself dont want any "handdouts" regardless: above average education and slightly above median income. The small house you described is highly sought after, despite being 50+ years old, while the newer larger homes being built are even further out of reach.
I am in the market in Dallas, Tx. I went throw 10 homes, and this is what’s happening to me, and I’m being priced out of area.
you should wait until the bubble busts, just rent somewhere for a little while
My own humble place shot up over $100k on zillow in 2 months because of this crazy stuff going on. I wonder what happens if fed rates ever go above zero? One downside i see is local people are priced out of the market when Big Corporations come in to buy as an investment or West or East Coast people come in with alot of cash after they sell their $2 million shack in their home state.
Because your government has allowed banks,builders,investors and every other financial pirate to make speculative money off of shelter. Shelter should be a public utility like water or electricity.
Its like this all over FL now. It's insane
There’s a specific reason why Boise is really hot right now. I live in the area and we received SOOOOO many people from Seattle and Portland who sold their homes there to buy a bigger and nicer home in Idaho and it’s making the market here really hot. While it’s good for home prices, a lot of my friends who lived here there whole lives can’t even buy a home and are unable to build their personal wealth.
We've run into houses that were bought by investors at reasonable prices and then upgraded with unecessary glitz and put back on the market for 100,000 more than the home is worth. And they are getting it. I dont need marble countertops and rose gold bathroom fixtures in a 1200 square foot home appraised at only 115,000.

Have you ever seen those house-hunter shows, where the young couple is looking at an $800,000.00 house? First they say, "It MAY NOT be in our budget." Then they say, "This [perfectly functional kitchen] needs updating." WHY??? First of all, where do they work? Secondly, are there any openings?
One time, I looked at a two-family house. (It was actually a one-family house, with the second floor converted to an apartment.) The first-floor kitchen had a hideously ugly, lime-green electric stove. The realtor apologized for it. I asked, "Does it still work?" She said, "Still like new." I replied, "Good enough for me!"
I love that they say that Boise Idaho is a great place to live… If you’re white and conservative
Whats wrong with that?
@@LlamasAreBest if you have to ask…
You can be any color but don't expect Boise to change for you.
Don't whites and conservatives have the right to escape persecution too?
So wherever she goes, she will be priced out because her salary did not expand to be able to afford the new inflated market prices. Better to stay put. She can take her profit and buy smaller is about all... With it being a buyer's market, she could risk not finding anything... This is another bubble...
She will probably be moving to a suburb, 40/50 minutes outside of boise, they are growing like crazy. Yes she will be paying half million for a nicer new track home with a few custom features. But her home was probably in north end (highly desirable area) so she got a pretty Penny. She will definitely come out ahead.
Even though we bought before the hot market exploded we could make a very nice profit selling but would end up spending the profit on another house. Have already been contacted about selling, nope love the house and not going anywhere but please keep bidding up the sales prices I want to see my equity climb higher
God bless hard working people from US. Greetings from Europe.
Many Americans have never taken a vacation and have worked for over 45 years. We have never had a vacation can't afford it with the high costs of living.
@@gloriahanes5338 Yes. I once traveled the USA. I slept in a bed and breakfast. At the Breakfast table parents told me how exhausting work life in the US can be. Beside that they liked living in the US.
One reason why suicide rates are so high in the US and Japan. Overworked. For what? To die and leave it all here?
Good time to be sitting on a 2.75% refi, and just WAIT.
I just did that on my property and am selling a rental unit. Price shot up 20% in the past 2 months and realtor says the sales price may keep floating upwards. I'm selling before the crash...
This is bad, bad, bad. The average person can no longer afford a home.
This upcoming crash will make 2008 look like a picnic.
Good. Then we can purge all Marxists.
@@jfkst1 I’d love to see the closeted Russians posing as republicans purged.
@@laurak5196
Me too.
I hope so. These buyers are insane.
IF the housing market crashes the prices won’t drop as much as they have increased in the past few years. If you can’t afford a house now then you won’t afford them after the ‘crash’. Your just going to compete with big firms buying more rentals.
My parents lived in Ridgewood NJ and we've recently sold our house above the asking price in a matter of weeks. It was nuts, we had one hundred walk-throughs and multiple offers. We sold the home at close to a million when we initially put it on the market for 930,000. It was pretty nuts but we sold at the right time and now our house is probably worth even more. We sold right when this covid crisis was getting worse last June so that played a large role with our town having a direct train into Manhattan and being around an hour and twenty from the city. So we had a lot of people from the city looking to buy our house since they were nervous of lockdowns and being locked in their small apartments. It was a wild ride.
My parents sold their house in Demarest NJ and retired, moved to central Jersey. They were asking $725K and got $775K. The retirement condo in central Jersey was $400K. Mom always hated people who drove a BMW; now she wants one! I told her NO because I watch Scotty Kilmer all the time; we'll see.
Only a handful of companies have announced return-to-office plans... are there THAT many companies allowing work-from-anywhere?
Also, even though housing prices are increasing, which may increase general cost of living in that area, are companies willing to still pay same rates if you now live in an area where cost of living is significantly lower than the metro areas?
I've been trying to find a place to rent for the past few months and haven't been able to find anything affordable either. The ones I am able to afford either want a 600 or 700 credit score or your income must be 3x the rent! Apartment complexes are being advertised the most as the most affordable option but I don't want to pay for a gym and pools and other amenities we'll never use, or have people literally in your face!
Hold out if you can..the next Great Depression is coming..that will lower your rent and ease you search
Having rent being 33% of your income is pretty reasonable though, when someone’s housing expenses are greater than 40-50% of their income the risk of not being able to make payments is really high and property owners are aware of that. Fortunately having a 700 credit score is pretty easy, just pay down the credit cards and set up autopay on all of them and it can get in the 600-700 range in a few years.
Wait until forbearance ends, and all the people who aren't paying can be evicted. Then the red carpets will be rolled out to people like you.
im only 14 but im scared that when i need to buy a house its gonna cost $1M for a shed

Be nice to your grandparents and you might get a free house
I call bs on the offer to overpay by 50% and buy next home. No 'investor' would have to be that extreme when just paying 50% more for the home would be grabbed with both fist. Zillow has our zestimate at $828k. If we were going to sell, we'd put it on this market at $1m and will hold out for that 'investor' to give us $1.5m and buy our next home
I agree ..bs. The cash offers are from flippers..most of whom will get caught with their pants down
Ahhh your Zestimate. Do you know what the "A" in Zillow stand for? "Accuracy". :-)
I've seen the Zestimate on my house and I just have to laugh. They aren't comparing it to anything similar.
The market is crazy as are some people. You never know. My coworker offered $600K on a $500K townhouse (a freakin' townhouse) and was outbid by another $30K!
@@dodgeplow Fair point
But here's the thing about Boise, if you lose your "fancy" California tech job, good luck finding something in the area to replace it with and something at the same or similar pay. Several years ago my company had a transfer opportunity to Boise. I would be moving from a moderately-sized metro area on the east coast. I had a moderate but livable salary. Our branch in Boise could not afford me. Another thing this story doesn't point out, a lot of these companies make their employees take a cost of living adjustment (mine did) if they move out of the local area of their original job. Since a Boise salary can not compete with certain California salaries in any way, shape, or form, and when they tire of Boise (and they will) and have that first taste of a Boise winter, these same people are going to be hard-pressed to come back to California. People really need to make sure to do their research and think twice about doing this.
I get paid twice as much in Texas as I did in California. Wages are depressed there because so many people want to live there. I am not seeing this higher pay in California that everyone is talking about. I work in biotech.
To paraphrase Awnold, "You'll be back!"
@@roberte.andrews4621 If I come back I'll have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars over people who stayed and will have no problem buying if I need to scoop up a third property. Also leaving let me rent my old place out. It's a win, win, win situation.
Dear Lady from Idaho, When your house sells in 48 hours for $65k over asking with 150 showings and numerous offers in cash, it means you sold your house for too little, and are on the beginning of a sharp rise in value, which means that by waiting more than 5 months to lock in your next house, you may end up losing those gains to buy your next house. Mark my words, your old house will sell for 30% more in one year.
