The market doubled (100% increase) in two years and now you’re happy about a 5% decrease? Home prices need to fall about 70% from their current. THAT is where the market should be.
These rents are still way too damn high!
My rent in Austin in a 3bd house went from 2140 to 1850 on renewal after I sent them some comps!
DOWN 20% in Austin when houses went up 100%.......is just a little speed bump in the road. Not even noticeable.
A 9% drop in rent is peanuts. We need to see a 50 - 75% reduction to make a decent life in the USA possible.
Sleeping in your car is still $1500 cheaper than renting
Hold the line until rents are $1.00 a square foot and purchase price is $100 A square foot
In addition, prices in three years went up almost 50% over US and the interest is 7% so for the people to start aggressively buying home prices need to drop at least 40% and interest needs to go down to 4 1/2
It’s only shocking if you haven’t been paying attention. Ignorance is bliss until it’s the end of you
As a renter, I wish my area was one that was going down. I've lived in the Savannah area for 3 years. My rent went up $50/mo after year 1, $80/mo after year 2 and $120/mo after year 3. I'm maxed out! My landlord is an investor and lives in CA. i don't even know his name, have to go through his property manager (who thank God is awesome). But I dipped into savings to stay in this home one more year. Ouch!
Austinite here. Housing is just coming down to what it SHOULD be. Insane pricing during and after covid due to all the Californians buying well over asking, sight unseen, with cash. Austin was SO expensive over the last two years. Definitely feels more affordable, and so many new apts coming in the market in north austin and Pflugerville, that they’re offering up to 10 weeks free.
So maybe there never was a real housing shortage? There was just hoarding of homes.
They just tried raising my rent 500 here in Houston Texas. We put our notice to vacate in today.
My HOA went up 150% since 2019.
I appreciate your videos. You're not always right, but numbers are numbers, and sharing this, in an understandable manner, is hard to find. So thank you.
These are very helpful stats - I hope people notice !
The housing market got inflated so that the increase in property taxes would cause a lot of people to lose their homes and that's coming before the prices drop too much
Thanks for the information!
Rent never goes down in LA
