There is NOT an inventory problem. There is a problem of investment firms purchasing a significant chunk of affordable housing to then turn into rentals. They have made housing into a commodity and there needs to be legislation about it.
The constitution was amended ages ago to allow people of color to buy and own property- Seems like it needs to be amended again No one can purchase and own while New York investors hoard everything! The “rent” leaches should be kicked out of the country entirely. They do nothing for the GDP. They don’t pay taxes on the rent money they suck from the majority.
Which communist country you are from? This is free market and free country. Corporations and individuals have FREEDOM to invest real estate. You just wanna ban corporations this making them higher taxes to punish them so you can take advantage of?!?! Corporations and investors are the REAL HARDWORKING FELLOW AMERICANS, not freeloaders who only wants free handouts SMFH
The problem is people from other big cities moving here. I know people who moving to Texas from NYC, the house over there cost like 800k to more than 1million and when they get here they see 300k, 400k, 500k houses, they call them big and cheap and willing to bid up the price for the house they like. Even after buying a house cost 500k they would still have cash left over for selling their NYC house. In their mind they are comparing the house price of Texas to NYC but for the local people house price has never been this high…
Yes and California. I heard a lady say a friend if hers moved from California sold his home there and bought 4 houses in Texas. So yes to them it's cheap and very affordable so Texans are priced out because we don't have that kind of money and our minimum wage is lower than theirs so they do have a lot more disposal income and savings.
Houstonians can no longer afford to buy homes in Houston. Low inventory is not the problem and building more homes is not the solution. Homes are being built in literally every empty plot of land. Everywhere you look, there's a new housing development. People from NY & CA are selling their shacks for 500k plus, moving here and pricing us out of the market. Even if you have everything together...credit,income, down payment, and get approved for the loan, you can't compete with someone showing up with a cash offer and enough cash to go well over asking.
Facts! It’s pissing me off! My husband and I are stuck in a damn 1 bedroom apartment because all these people are coming here and edging the natives out!! I’m over it!!
Houston area's avg income can't support the housing price. It seems all those houses were purchased by people from other states (CA, NY). It seems weird when you factor in that 3% property tax each year.....
Bingo! Houstonians can no longer afford to buy homes in Houston. More homes is not the solution . Homes are being built in literally every empty plot of land. Everywhere you look, there's a new housing development. People from NY & CA are selling their shacks for 500k plus, moving here and pricing us out of the market. Even you have everything together, and get approved for the loan, you can't compete with someone showing up with cash offer and enough cash to go well over asking.
You are so right and the gentrification is also a problem. They are coming into low income neighborhoods and building townhomes and condos starting from 300,000 to half a million dollars. Knowing that the people of and around that community can not afford that. People that work hard everyday and try to do the right thing are losing. They do not have the income because Houston does not pay the majority of their employees enough or are not willing to give them a mortgage. I have been trying to buy a house for five years. Credit good, money saved, and still I was denied by habitat for humanity. Now I am working with a real estate agent that has good completion ratings.
Another issue impacting Houstonians is migration. People from other parts of the country are moving in and willing to pay more than what a Houstonian would just because the market they are coming from...real estate is much higher. Texas consistently has been in the top 5 growing state populations (as a percentage) over the last 5 years.
These folks are about two years late, I will hold and save my money and wait for one to two years before buying. The interest rate is just too high and the fake inventory shortage is about to be exposed.
@@shazarkhan5741 It is the fear of the unknown and the pressure of society has on people you need a house now. you said it best wait 12 months maybe 18 see how it plays out, save more money cut your costs.
The problem with TAXES I meant Texas, with all these property price sky rocketing, the property taxes will drive many Texan out of the state. It has #6 ranking of highest property tax rate. Combine with MUD taxes on some areas, It's one of the most UNAFFORDABLE state to live in. Believe me. Some areas have above 3% property tax rate combined with 0.8 or higher MUD tax rate. CRAZY STATE lol
The problem is that the government printed way too much money. Everybody like private equity, investors, prospective buyers are chasing a limited supply. A lot of folks don’t have the income or the income security to buy their dream home at bubble prices. What happens if they get laid off? We are likely to get a recession soon with Fed raising interest rates. Best is to rent modestly, increase savings. Buy when the economy craters.
The government does not print money. The function of creating currency either digitally or in paper form is the responsibility of the independent Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Europe has a similar entity also.
US dollar has weakened, global inflation, COVID caused many landlords to not get rent, employees wages haven’t risen much, property taxes through the roof, property insurance rose through the roof, in Harris County many apartment owners have 99 year Agreements with Harris County to not get charged property taxes so that tax burned is being pushed onto home owners. I build here inside city limits and land prices are through the roof so if you’re not getting subsidy money/land from the government costs are up substantially. It costs $100K to buy a lot today and you’re spending $20K in fees/permits, another $50K in lumber...you haven’t poured cement or hired any labor yet...so you’re almost at $200K in cost before moving a muscle. We do need more homes built/renovated in Houston area. The cost to do so isn’t cheap. Hope things get better for all involved.
Fake price hiking. The homes around me are still the same crappy homes from the 1920s and earlier, They put a facade on front of them and covering on cabinets, then jacked the price up so what was 50g 5 years ago is now 300g and nothing really changed. One guys whole front fell off one house now 500g.
This is getting crazy, we purchased a house 4 years ago, appraisal never go higher than 10k over a year until last year when go up $100k, many people will say "good! Yo have equity" but taxes that I will have to pay next year is almost 10k! I do not think this is fair. Salaries in TX are still very low compared with the national average!!! So we will have to work just to pay taxes! Not mentioning prices are getting up because inflation... What a mess....
We all will need serious guidance of buying homes to know we are safe to move into our new home. I have to be moved out like fast but for knowing nothing is a scam my main worry. I have fur babies also. I rescued them 5 years ago.
in 2007, my parents were able to get a 2-story 5 bedroom house for 160k. Today, any house that's any the 160k range in the Houston area is a fixer upper or nearly condemned. That house they bought back then? Since we moved out in 2019/2020 when it was sold for 250k, it' value has risen to 330k. Crazy part? Not much was done to it aside from cosmetics. Much of the structural aspects still need to be worked on. It is outlandish to think how of how fast the housing prices have risen.
Also another problem with our market that I have yet to see anyone mention is the builders creating nothing but 250k + homes. What happened to the simply built 60k home? Or even the 100k ones? It's still possible to build houses for that amount, and yet we don't see builders doing it because they are greedy and want as much money as possible. Then they become surprised when their houses are not selling because the prices and extravagance is too much. 2-3 bedroom 1 story homes need to make a comeback. Not everyone needs on suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, or a spacious open floor plan. Stone accents and top-of-the-line appliances are not needs either. We need to forced builders to go back to building starter homes rather than these houses that only those in the upper middle class can afford.
We purchased our Houston area home brand new back in 2002. The wife and I could use a tad more room at this point, but not enough that we are willing to give up our 2002 housing costs in exchange for the crazy home prices of today! We’ll sit tight and keep our low mortgage payment!
@@ss_whole - Nope. Refinanced to a 15-year-note along the way when rates were rock-bottom, so no real incentive to pay it off early versus other potential uses for the money - paying cash for vehicles, contributing to my son’s college fund, etc. My only goal for payoff was to have the note gone by retirement, which will be accomplished at least a year in advance by simply paying it off as scheduled.
All these buyers are in for a very RUDE awakening in about 3-6 months when the bubble starts to burst. Houses in my area have mysteriously gone up over $120k in 1 year. Great for sellers, and buyers "think" they are getting deals, ha, try again!! 2009 is right around the corner and I can't wait to take your overpriced home off your hands while you bring a check to closing!!
Well most home owners will hold on houses to ride unless they lost their job and you might be of theones loses a job among many waiting to buy houses hoping foreclosures and would have move in with your parent

If your home-buying budget is $150k with a large family in this economy, that's just horrible! I recommend you make more money and have some other investments or passive income before you start making a bunch of kids!!! They're easy to make, but hard to support as inflation and the cost of living rises to an all-time high!
@Christopher if you are going to categorize someone try and at least get it right boomers are people born pre-1964 but I'm sure you prolly got that from tiktok God forbid you do research. also $150k in the 80's is $530k in todays money so yeah $150k budget is tough with a large family. that's the problem with you elitists is that you want everything given to you because you think everyone owes you. go out and get a job and earn it like the boomers did.
Even the 250k homes need work and are in less than desirable areas. I would have never thought that my 300k budget was not enough to get me into an area with decent schools and a home I didn't have to invest another 50k into in order to be happy. This market is crazy! And rentals are over 2k for small accommodations. You honestly cannot win in this market.
No! They need to raise pay rates to keep up with the cost of living! Even having a degree with yrs of experience I can’t make what my mother made at my age and she had no degree
