More home sellers taking cash offers amid housing crisis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2022
- From St. Lucie County to Boca Raton, the world of real estate is a sellers' market. These days sellers are running to cash offers, which is leaving many buyers feeling squeezed out.
Wolf investors (national and global) are not just buying homes and apartment complexes. They are buying them without a person ever walking into the buildings, paying full asking price, and making transactions per purchasing a batch of buildings at one time. They are paying their CEOs managing the properties millions in bonus based on raising rents, increasing their profit margin. Traditional homebuyers pushed out of the market, forced to rent are bidding to pay more rent than the already morbidly high rent to secure a roof over their heads and the established renters are getting notice their rent, based on market demands, is going up in price, forcing them to move in with others, motels, or live under blue tents on the streets. This not NOT a housing bubble, this is a different kind of beast. W. Jones.
But this is how u humans been playing the game y are y'all being a sore L
Thank you for that info.
My friend said a "firm" purchased 16 homes in her village. She hit the roof when she found out the "firm" rented them out to SECTION 8!!! This administration promised to put an end the "suburbs" & it's happening folks! Firm turned out to have ties with lobbyists. Guess for which party?👎🏽🤬
Nice world we live in. When an essential resource is scarce the rich take advantage.
@@kartiersupremewhite330, you are welcomed.
I’m sick of these stories about cash buyers squeezing out other home buyers we’ve heard this over and over again. There’s plenty on speculation as to who is purchasing these properties. But the question, I’m dying to know is are all of these homes actually OCCUPIED?! That’s the investigative report I want to see.
Vacancy rate is under 5%. However, a large number of homes are second homes so yeah, part of the year they're empty. When investors buy homes they are speculating but currently aren't having any trouble finding renter offering high rents to occupy the properties.
Just because local news want to label cash buyers as the boogeyman doesn't really make it true. Local news is into selling ads, not facts. The reality is most investors use borrowed money to buy property. They often have smart ways to present their borrowed money as "cash". That ability is coming to buyers by companies who will back the buyer for a fee to guarantee closing on time. If the buyer's mortgage falls through the company will step in and complete the close with cash.
@@MrWaterbugdesign the vacancy rate is NOT under 5% as of Q1 2021 it was 6.8%(and that’s likely a conservative number because if it was any higher the truth would be revealed too quickly to all the landlords scamming on the number for rent) also because landlords know that tenant depreciates the value of their property either as a bad tenant (at worst ) or natural wear and tear because a human lives there not a ghost. Year over year if you had a second home and didn’t do anything to it (not even rented it out) it has managed to out perform or be on pace with the SPY depending on location. We have fetishized assists to the point where you can’t get a simple 2 bed 2 bath for less than 2k rent per month and yet what employer is guaranteeing pay of 1k for 40hrs of labor in that area . Rent used to be 25% of one months wage; now the average is near 30-50% while the principal number of homeless individuals has risen
Mam stop crying Level up every body suffering get it together dust y bhhhh
@@MrWaterbugdesign Well said.
Cannot keep up here in Spokane if you want a fixer upper in a gang controlled area there are a few homes but beware you pay for location
I’m flabbergasted he didn’t get pre-approved for a loan amount before even considering bidding on a house. That’s house buying 099. It’s even worse if he was working with a Realtor and he or she didn’t tell him that fact. If he kept that same incompetent, Realtor I hope he didn’t make a house buying mistake
I'm wondering if he has FHA
Yeah that was crazy
That shocked me too. Get to the end of the story just to find out he didn’t have pre-approval. Then that leads to the question is he even working with a realtor? A realtor with his/her salt is not working with a client who hasn’t secured preapproval
Being pre approved has been a given here in FL for at least the last two years. It is pointless to even make an offer without a written pre approval submitted with a very strong offer. Anything less is a waste of time.
Most realtors won't work with you unless you have some form of pre approval, I thought.
@@southrichmondtofl that’s true of many, but not all. Some customers get tweaked by an insistence on it, so a realtor might choose to go along with waiting until the offer’s made. Small percentage at this point, I think.
Ya I finally got enough money to get a small home and relax a little but when I put 5k over asking price I didn't get it I lost someone else got it for 60k over asking price.
Now I just live day by day tell the housing market crashes.
Actually, I have been pre-approving my buyers in Florida since 2009. Very TRUE, It is a complete waste of time for any buyer to submit an offer without a pre-approval letter, especially in a seller's market. Most sellers will never accept such a buyer's offer, and no sensible realtor will advise their seller to do so.
Is cash for houses the new money laundering?
Probably
If it is it's pretty dumb because it wouldn't actually launder anything. There would be a public record of how much was paid. The government can then ask "Where did this money come from?" and what's the criminal going to say? It's still dirty.
If you want to launder money with real estate you'd have to do something like buy a property with clean cash and then put renters into the property collecting say $1000/mo in rent but you claim on your income tax forms that you got say $3000/mo. The criminal effectively pays that extra $2000 with dirty money, pays income tax, and that amount becomes clean.
Buying property with dirty money is a huge red flag. Almost as bad as a 20 year old kid paying $400k cash for a new Ferrari.
@@MrWaterbugdesign 👍🏼
The agency that is supposed to investigate and track transactions over $10k is FinCen. Financial crimes enforcement. But I’m sure they are the up and up. Doing their jobs
@blue bird news Trump is living rent free in your head.
If investment buyers weren't buying, there wouldn't be a shortage.
Well there's Biden's open border that supplies 200,000 illegals a month plus legal immigrants that need a place to live.
The only reason investment buyers buy is because renters are available.
They’re either lying about the cash purchases or the purchasers are not people, they’re Chinese investors paying cash.
Do you see Chinese people from under your bed?
China China China 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Are currently in the Cold War
China is on the verge of a housing crash comparable to what we had in 08.
@@MrWaterbugdesign Yes......I see Chinese people
Look up north there are lots of homes and they are not outrageously priced. Everyone is looking in the south for the heat but up north you can get all the seasons. Yes it might snow for a few months but you get a bigger and better house. I refused to pay $100,000-$200,000 more for a home. Look at the past selling history of your home and if it was remodeled and do the math. This is a huge purchase so stay away from the house fever. If you don’t get then it’s not meant for you. Don’t over bid!
its not just weather. It is politics, quality of life, etc
And some beautiful homes too.
@@novadhd Tennessee. No state taxes. Good politics.
So we bid on a house in the Orlando area and our bid was thousands higher than the asking price. The sellers turned down our offer and instead took a cash offer that was the exact asking price. We were very disappointed. We were using a VA loan which has a lot of red tape and requires many inspections before the sale is approved.
It turns out that a few months after the home was sold for cash, the roof partially caved in because it had a termite problem. Because the buyer had bought the house with cash, there was no inspections required for them to get into the house. With our VA loan, the required inspections would've caught the Termite problem and we wouldn't have been allowed to buy without the seller first fixing the issues.
We dodged a MAJOR bullet with this home, so actually a Cash offer isn't always the best way to go.
Overseas buyers.
If you’re trying to buy a resale and you cannot pay cash or get a conventional loan, You have no shot. FHA and VA buyers have a better shot with new builds but that’s assuming they can still afford them.
Yeah I’m so thankful for my VA loan
It's all those New Yorkers selling their homes and moving down here. The cost of living is cheaper down here.
It looks like that’s about to change prices are skyrocketing, insurance and property taxes are also rising.
Plus there’s a low number of existing homes for sale and theres a shortage or raw materials and workers to construct new builds. When demand is high and supply is low, prices go up.
many people never read the article the AARP published back in year 2014 describing a massive departure of Baby Boomers from the State or New York when they retire. Where they move their money to Florida and other southern States is bad news for young people who can’t compete unless they have allot of money. The truth is this trend is what the GOVERNMENT wants to generate higher tax revenues to support government bond but in the long term the Baby Boomers can’t live forever will pass away leaving massive gaps in the housing market to be filled. Things will sour as what many Baby Boomers believe is coming much higher death rates with old age.
Partly, yes. Pretty great news to all the "original" or "native" Floridians who bought and developed properties, infrastructure hoping to make some money.
But if you dislike living in a popular area there are many options available to you. Many less popular locations no New Yorkers want to live and probably never will. Check out Cairo IL where you can buy a fully functioning house for about $20k. And there's still plenty of things for you to complain about so you can keep your hobby. Win-win.
not anymore
Blame agents. They created the way we sell homes. A buyer using a mortgage in my location get get out of buying up to 3 days before closing by killing their mortgage application and then claiming "financing fell through". A cash buyer doesn't have that out.
So agents tell buyers to put offers in on several homes. If an offer is accepted they have about 27 days where they've locked in the seller and can continue looking for a home they like better.
If they cancel 3 days before closing the seller has pretty much completed packing, paid for moving and storage, maybe paid for temp housing and the buyer loses $0 of their deposit. Wanna fix it? Then fix the contract. Give the seller 30 days to stay in the home after closing. Have your deposit go hard so if you terminate the deal the seller gets some money to cover their expenses. In other words put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise your just another buyer who might be playing games.
Everyone wants to blame agents, thats just not the reason. Its high demand and low supply
@@tylerh8275 Yeah, but in my experience, real estate agents are not honest.
@@michaelmullin3585 agreed 💯 I wouldnt use the ones on the bus bench, too much ego and dont have time for questions.
Most people here in my state refuse to sell to investors or businesses no matter what the price is. They meet the buyers in person and approve the sale with the realtor. This has proven to be a good method to keeping these investors out of our area and allow residents who live here to buy.
Florida?
I strongly doubt that.
Shouldn't investors and hedge funds have a higher property tax rate vs. A buyer for a primary residence.
I thought everyone got pre-approved before house hunting
evidently not. the borrower can get a high APR w/o pre approval. thats a money maker.
People are also flocking to Raleigh NC because of the tech hub and medical jobs. North Carolina has some really beautiful weather and great beaches and more. Its a really competitive real estate market here. You get multiple bids on homes.

Shame on you for the way you just sit around on YT trolling and flexing on everybody less fortunate than you.
Finally, we're in a real housing crisis. Sure makes today's homebuyers miss the fake housing "crisis" of 2009 - 2013 which was actually a housing extravaganza with low, low, prices and a plentiful inventory to choose from.
You said Finally? I have been hearing about low inventory since 2014.
I took an offer from a cash buyer and if you are looking to buy a new home it’s best to sell yours first and put as many offers as u can and buy a house and it took me a total of five months to buy a house And now I’m working on getting the former seller out of the house and today is their deadline and it’s time to go and I may have to evict them and I have a heart but my son means more to me and hey it’s life and I’m filing for an eviction tomorrow
The former owners are having buyers remorse. You should have done a last minute walk thru before you closed. Now you are stuck with a problem 🙄
@@deannasalem9195 I did the walk through this morning avd everything is good but they left trash in the front yard and they pocketed 80,000 and I didn’t trick them and I’m staying and I will pass it to my son
Sounds like more cash is going to get stolen but who Carrie’s 300,000 + in cash anyway!
All 'equity' and not two pennies to rub together is a black hole.
The shame is those cash offers are from people or firms who were going to turn it into a rental.
I get these cash offers all the time, I ripp them up and throw them in the garbage!
I would call them and tell them you're interested but with no intent of ever selling your house. Just waste their time.
You didn't mention whom owns these businesses
BLACKWATER.....We have been talking about this for years now PEOPLE are seeing it first hand
We deserve a recession if money is so worthless that “faceless people “ can happen to have millions in cash to buy property only for them to do the smart thing and sell it back at a mark up or near there cash offer price at no loss. Unless there is a hurricane or a tornado that wipes these homes native Floridians are screwed .
The same thing is happening nationwide which speak how ugly the math is.
The faceless they are talking about are corporate pension funds, companies that buy homes to rent them out and hedge funds. Sounds like this will lead to a shift in many communities. I don’t want to live next to a house or houses will renters who don’t care about the house they live in or the neighborhood.
@@kimariokiji, I hear what you are saying but keep in mind, Beverly Hill have homeless people.
"Faceless" people??? Maybe ease up on the LSD.
@@MrWaterbugdesign LLC since your still a child on LSD
Got my first home in west palm beach! Best living!
Go to areas less developed.
Definitely get preapproved for a loan amount.
Focus on fixed up smaller older homes (in those areas).
Look into buying land & possibly buying a pre fab or manufactured home to put on it.
Go buy swamp land, develop and become Walt Disney , or move out of the state if you still can’t afford. If the problem is nation wide than do the Americans a favor and get the hell out. Problem solved 🤪

@@jasoncrandall73 💯
@@jasoncrandall73 I hope you realize builders are slow building on purpose this decade compared to 08 . The biggest reasons the housing market crashed was because of fraud and oversupply (big no no for investors) so a decade later and the 🇺🇸 population nationwide has grown 7.7% and yoy we are at 7.5% inflation. Builders recognized this so instead of scaring off demand by building like crazy , they want to avoid an oversupply again; so they have essentially created a valve to maintain a stream of buyers. Combine this with zoning laws for single family homes vs multi family and the situation compounds depending on geography
I wouldn't be surprised if they are. This boom like the boom over 12 years ago can't last forever.
These new subdivision homes in Florida.....
HOAs?
Built on farm land.
10' spaces (almost all).
Higher density on land not used to it.
Unknown settlement issues on such land.
Future sinkhole issues on such land.
How many unknown building faults on these homes?
Let's not forget about all those existing homes that a home inspection wasnt done prior to the sale.
The American Dream is Nightmare 😡
Investors seem to ignore sea level rising? It’s insane when most of Florida is just above sea level! Ices still melting folks!
Yeah, they should all move to Detroit. 3 BR homes for $150,000!!!!
@cattigereyes1 With the number of people moving to Florida and the state is sitting on a sandbar barely above sea level, it makes you wonder how many people Florida can accommodate before it sinks into the ocean. I use to want to live in Florida. No more. Too many people with to few exits out of the state creating massive gridlock when there is a Hurricane approaching.
Hell yeah! Take the money and run!
dont have to pay taxes . WIN.
The headline should be changed to: More home sellers taking cash offers amid housing crisis caused by runaway money printing
Or an ignorant governor.
Wanted to move anywhere nope I can sell but can't buy
Shack for sale in gang controlled neighborhood snatched up by property managers to rent it's a joke tents and sqatters allowed
This is why we have a record low inventory... homeowners ain't stupid enough to sell their homes and compete just like other buyers in hell with higher mortgage rates. Homeowners already did their refinance on their home like 2.5% to 3.5% which will never come back near future
This is awful
I don’t understand why we need realtors if you sell your home
I have always been a little confused about "cash offers". Are not all offers made in cash? How would I know where the money came from? Or would I even care?
Wolf investors buying up houses, paying cash, and without ever stepping inside the house, and often purchasing batches of properties all in one transaction. Traditional home buyers unable to compete are forced to rent and often offering to pay more for the rental than the already morbidly high price, which pushes tenants already there out of their apartments that they can no longer afford and no place else to rent given wolf investors are also purchasing apartment complexes and this is being done across America. We are collapsing. 😑
The source of the money is normally put into the purchase contract. When money comes from a lender the buyer normally can end the deal and get their deposit back up to 3 days before close. Some agents use that to lock in the seller but not their buyer so the buyer can keep looking for a home they like better. If they do or prices drop they can end the deal and get their deposit back. The seller is stuck when a lot of expenses because they're 3 days away from their final move.
Cash buyers don't have that escape option.
It's a little crazy that people say "cash buyers drive up prices" because it's actually people using mortgages pushing up prices. When bidding a cash buyer has a big advantage because of all the games mortgage buyers can play. So cash offers are actually much lower in many cases. A mortgage buyer has to offer more to make up for the extra risk to the seller. So when you see a house sell for $100k over asking that could have been a mortgage buyer while there were cash offers say at $20k over asking. But that inflated price is now recorded as what houses are selling for in that area. That drives other buyers to pay that new inflated "market price" and the cycle repeats. Agents love this kind of inflation because they work on commission.
@@MrWaterbugdesign Thanks for your explanation.
As a private investor, I only do cash deals. With the offer, I provide a deposit verification letter from my bank. I have never ever had a problem.
@@MrWaterbugdesign lol! Here cash for rent buyer bid 20k over value...1-2 homes in an area doing that drive Values up. They are buying about 1/4 of homesfor sale. They also take that 1/4 inventory off the market making more completion for homes that they don't buy and then push rents up for people willing to pay more to get out of renting. Here you also have rip-off rent to own companies buying homes too.
Those homes are all going to end up under water! :-)
That’s what I’m thinking!! That what happened in 2008! Homes were dirt cheap!!! Folks were just walking away!! Wow if that happens,,,I’m buying 2 new properties! Let see how things go!
Then more investor are going to scoop them up at an even lower price.
@marks90004 same here I have 2 homes in fla!! That were foreclosure in 2008 my dad I purchased!! That was the best deal ever!!! That has tripled in value!! Once the market falls I’m going house shopping again!! The numbers are starting to fall a little!!!!
I payed off my mortgage in 2019 and every nickel and dime landlord and two for a penny investors wants to buy it from me but my house is a investment in meeeeeee I found a bunch of money to save every month and the state I live in there is no property taxes when you reach full retirement or 100% disabled veterans
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE! If you want to buy a home go for it but just know prices will come down by at least 50%. But it's different this time… Yes the buyers are more credit worthy this time but what good does that do you if your home is worth half of what you paid for it? People say there's a housing shortage because more households have been created in the past 10 years. Yes but households have dissolved and people have died in the past 10 years. Some experts say prices will continue to rise and by that theory every home in America will be worth at least 5 million dollars in 10 years. It's not sustainable. Please go to the kitchen and take a big whiff of coffee and invest in real estate if you want to but just know the facts. 😀
I disagree with your statement that real estate will decrease by 50%. America is headed for a subscription based model for everything including renting houses. Inflation is bananas right now and will only increase - this will be a lost decade for America economically. If you think I am wrong, study America's economy specificatly real estate from 1970 to 1980. I will wait for your response...
I guess you weren't around in 2008.
@@frozentundra7446 Historically prices always go up and always come down. Prices dropped by more than 50% last time around in certain areas and they will again this time. Once buyers feel priced out and stop buying, available housing inventory will increase and sellers will be forced to lower their asking prices if they want their homes to sell.
@@danielgil971 Great comment Daniel. How quickly people forget history.

I ask in everyone of these threads: Where did all these buyers come from all of a sudden? Is it just that people didn't move for 2-3 years and now they're on the market all at once?
Move to northern brevard. Paradise
What’s that
When you put your home up for sale, you look at price and terms. If price is equal cash is best. Why wait for 60 days and run a risk of the loan going south, when cash closes in 15 days Guaranteed.
Stop selling to investors.
Blackrock
sucks to be poor, start making moves,,get that cash
There's not a housing crisis just like diamonds are not rare Banks like to keep around 30 or 40% of the houses empty so it raises the prices on all the homes that are on market it should be legal for banks to just sit on property someone personally sure large corporations no specifically property that has homes on it
smart sellers get ready for the crash !!!
🔥 sale
everyone needs to stop payin their bills until they add housing costs restrictions at the law and bill levels
Home sellers are helping destroy housing...I don't understand this and would not be participating...hubs and I have already agreed we would sell to a person with a reasonable offer over cash greed.
Cash buyers are paying over appraisal for these homes. These homes are priced over value. Investment companies are destroying the market for first time home buyers.
From where comes thar money? Contradiction of pandemic crisis.
Everyone calm down and wait for the crash, once investors need to liquidate, it will happen. This is just like 2008 minus this time it's big investors that will get burned
Investment firms should NOT be allowed to buy up swaths of homes like that. Foul!
They have every rights to buy properties they want in this country. If you want all those regulations policies government intervention big government etc you are more than welcome to move to communist countries smdh
