Liberal Forum

As 2025 began, the stars were aligning for a housing market rebound.

Inflation was easing, the economy looked strong and mortgage rates were drifting downward. By April, there were more available homes to buy than at any time since January 2020, according to the Federal Reserve of St. Louis. The conditions were ripe for buyers to re-emerge, checkbooks in hands, and sellers to negotiate.

Then on April 2, President Trump rolled out his expansive global trade tariffs, shocking the stock and bond markets and sparking fears of a recession. Mortgage rates jumped again, hitting 6.89 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate loan on May 29, their highest level since early February. The extreme volatility threw cold water on a fragile market. Buyers bailed out.

“There isn’t any urgency to buying right now — if anything it feels more risky to put a down payment into a home when you might not have a job six months from now,” said Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist of Redfin.

MAGAts,

The lesson here is 

NEVER SPECIFY PERFORMANCE MEASURES....STICK TO SLOGANS AND QUALIFYING ADJECTIVES...

Move your heads up and down...

Stars don't align for housing markets housing markets happen as stars stay aligned.

The builder is finally just about done with the house next door. It's a 3/2--1566sq/ft for $590k.

$120k down with a $3400/mo. Payment.

I would be waiting also with those kind of numbers!

I don't think he will get that price, mainly because of the floor plan. (And it's $100 more per square foot than we built for 2-1/2 years ago) Builders do stupid ****, buy a premium view lot, put the bedrooms in the back of house where view is and living area in front. The living room windows face the side of our house, they have a nice view of our electrical and irrigation boxes. The only exit to the back yard is through the master bedroom.
What the **** were they thinking?

I hope the builder has deep pockets cause it going to set for awhile!

And again, you omit a key fact.  I only tag you on threads where we are participating.  I don't run around the forum tagging you in threads you are not part of. HarperLee not on this thread.

You have not yet proven yourself to be an intelligent individual.  You have proven to be dishonest  and a liar.

Looked planned to me!
I think he's going to take a $75k haircut at minimum.
He listed it when the concrete was poured, set a high price and see if anyone bites.
 

Inventory levels are still below pre COVID level.

A few interest rate cuts and we are off to the races once again.

real estate is subjective...and pricing is always the key...plus borrowed monies for materials, labor, etc garners interest...

as they say, to one person it's a treasure and to another, it's junk....

I delivered mail up a really long peninsula between 2 beautiful lakes...a quaint 40's cabin became available...mebbe 5-600 sq' with a single tuck under garage... I had some interest and looked it up...it was listed for $750k... I scoffed thinking no friggin way...the following week I went up there and it was sold...  

another property came up...70's box way off the lake with a couple of nice places in front between water and cabin...I looked it up, $400k w/ 20' lakeshore...   that's not a typo...20'...

I guess it's what real estate agents are for...
 
 @Fuelman  ...I added more...
