How Bad the Real Estate & Housing Crash Will Be.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
is the housing market definitely going
to crash in this video we're going to
answer that question after all mortgage
rates have gone from a sweet and juicy
2.6
for a 30-year fixed rate loan all the
way up to now the national average of
about 5.6
for that same 30-year fixed-rate loan
that three percentage point difference
tends to translate to about 30 percent
in buyer purchasing power
so does that mean we're going to see a
2008 style real estate crash or real
estate price is even going to come down
at all that's what we're going to talk
about in this video but remember that

dollar you get so at first glance we're
starting to see some of the signs that
prices may begin to cool not only are we
seeing inventory levels shift to the
upside and we're seeing inventory growth
year over year shift in a dramatic
fashion especially in the west where in
many states in the west housing
inventory has increased anywhere between
40 to 100 percent though we're not
seeing as much of that shift in the
northeast at the same time if we look at
the average list to sell ratio we're
starting to see the white line or 2022
rotate to the downside we're also
starting to see the percentage of active
listings with price drops increase
throughout the entire country and in
specific areas like seattle miami
florida san francisco boise idaho and
places like austin texas areas that have
been previously very very hot and so
when we combine all of these aspects we
look at okay well three percent increase
in rates that is going to reduce buyer
purchasing power
we've got inventory that is starting to
go
up as inventory goes up and there are
less potential buyers there's more
competition and so in order for a
property to sell we tend to have to see
price drops
on active listings increase and we've
seen all of these rates have gone up
buyers have gotten canceled out of the
market we've actually seen cancellations
up 15
year-over-year
this is a substantial increase in the
number of cancellations and potentially
represents just the beginning of people
losing their purchasing power but then
also the opportunity for them to have
much more choice because as inventory
skyrockets and people have more choice
they might think to themselves well if i
wait longer i don't have to fomo in fact
now i just have not fear of missing out
but i have fear of getting screwed so
i'm going to sit around and wait to see
how this plays out so we've got
cancellations going up we've got rates
going up we've got inventory going up
we've got price drops going up on active
listings the next thing that is likely
to happen is we're actually going to
start seeing close prices as once deals
actually close we're expecting to see
those closing prices finally start
rotating down and then if you get people
like tucker carlson talking about how
month over month home prices are
actually falling in addition to
inventory going up then you could create
actual panic
but
i hate using the phrase this time is
very different from 2008 in 2008 we had
a substantially larger percentage of
people on adjustable rate mortgages in
the neighborhood of 30 to 40 percent who
actually had massive impacts of interest
rates going up now we're closer to five
to seven percent we also now have
qualified mortgages and the average
credit score of a home buyer is about
100 points higher than it was in 2007
and 2008 and we no longer have no income
no job no asset loans or ninja loans
with teaser rates and crazy high
adjustable rates when the teaser rates
expire leading people into foreclosure
we're also in a place now where yeah
foreclosures are starting to go up but
they're actually going up to levels that
are substantially lower than where we
were prior to the pandemic so is it
possible that the housing market won't
crash that maybe it'll just soften
and the answer to this in my opinion has
to do with the trajectory for the
10-year treasury yield because mortgage
rates tend to follow the 10-year
treasury yield if lowe's is right and we
had excess demand of 27
and buyer purchasing power has just been
reduced by 30
via interest rates going up three
percent then we can kind of wash out
that excess buyer purchasing demand with
that reduction in purchasing power and
potentially get to a state of economic
equilibrium in the housing market which
basically means flat prices for the time
being but not necessarily a crash
and the only way i would foresee a
larger kind of correction is that
mortgage rates continue to trend up
which is possible if the 10-year
treasury goes from three percent to four
percent because folks perceive the fed
as having lost control of inflation and
inflation numbers keep going up then we
could see mortgage rates go to the
direction of six and a half to seven
percent this would decrease buyer
purchasing power an additional 10 to 15
percent which could correspond to an
additional decline in home prices of 10
to 15 percent if on top of that we then
compound this with the fear or panic of
the mainstream media talking about home
price reductions it's entirely possible
that we could see price reductions in
the neighborhood of 20 to 25
which would basically take us back to
levels of right before the pandemic so
that kind of bubble run of the 2020 and
2021 years would sort of evaporate with
a correction of about 20 to 25 percent
in real estate prices but again this
would in my opinion really require that
treasury yields stay high longer and
potentially go up even more now while
this is absolutely possible analysts
overhead goldman sachs don't necessarily
think the trajectory is that rates are
going to explode we're currently sitting
at about 3.2 percent for 10-year
treasuries and they expect that ten-year
treasuries will run up to about 3.3 and
kind of stay flat around 3.15 for the
next couple of years
next couple of years having rates around
3.15 percent means that maybe for the
next two years mortgage rates are stable
around five and a half percent but if
that just brings us to an equilibrium
market it might not be enough of a push
to the downside to actually get home
prices to substantially full again we
probably need to see somewhere around
6.5 to 7
for maybe a year year and a half to
really see home prices start getting
pushed into that negative 10 to negative
20 range maybe even as much as negative
25 in case we get a fomo cycle or rather
i should say a real fear cycle not fear
of missing out which is fomo but just
straight up f
fear cycle right now there is a caveat
to this we expect rents to stay high now
this can do two things if rents stay
high they might increase the number of
people who want to invest in real estate
so you get more investors investing in
real estate means more bottom feeding if
prices start ticking down which actually
helps prices stay up again because
you're introducing that new buyer demand
as a rents increase more people going in
to buy real estate however higher rents
could mean that the owner's equivalent
rents which are the measure
or the measures of inflation related to
the consumer price index for rents if
that owner's equivalent rent stays high
and rents continue to go up in cpi where
rents make up 33 of the inflation rating
then the fed might actually have to get
more aggressive and increase interest
rates more potentially leading mortgage
rates to finally go up to that six and a
half to seven percent range and that's
how we get our real estate price fall
but if the fed doesn't react to high
owner's equivalent rents and you get
more investors buying because rents are
up then you could be in a situation
where you actually do have flat or
modest appreciation in real estate
there's no guarantee that with certainty
real estate prices are going to go down
now some folks are saying hey you know
what how do i apply this to myself well
there are few trains of thought number
one train of thought is if you own real
estate you just hold and the reason you
hold is every time you sell real estate
you're going to pay somewhere between
seven to ten percent in fees and then
you're going to pay your capital gains
taxes on top of that either long or
short term so you could be spending a
lot of money dumping real estate when
you're not necessarily guaranteed to see
a decline in prices
those and this is why a lot of folks say
hold and a lot of other folks say hey
while i hold why don't i just pull a
bunch of equity out which is another
thing that we're seeing is households in
q1 of 2022 withdrew the most equity that
we have seen withdrawn since
2007.
so obviously people are preparing with
cash which is one of the best hedges in
an uncertain and recession recessionary
excuse me style of market so one idea is
hold and maybe just refinance to take
out cash tax free and prepare using real
estate as a piggy bank
other folks who have not bought real
estate yet say you know what i'm going
to wait until i find some fearful
sellers and if i find some fearful
sellers maybe i can buy one of those
fearful properties get a little bit of a
discount maybe we don't necessarily have
market wide price decreases but we have
opportunities to buy good deals because
people are fearful that real estate
prices will be coming down that's the
potential as well the third option which
is the most risky is to sell and either
wait
or what some people are doing is they're
selling and then they're buying stocks
and the reason they're doing that is
because stocks have already compressed
substantially and even though stocks
might compress a little bit more by some
accounts anywhere between four to ten
percent further compression a lot of
folks say hey well if i could go from
the top of the real estate cycle to a
temporary bottom in stocks let me load
up in stocks and then who knows maybe in
the future what will actually happen is
we'll actually see
stocks
rebound maybe they'll go down again a
little bit but we'll actually see stocks
rebound and that rebound could happen at
the same time as real estate prices fall
so if real estate prices were to
compress that 10 to 15 percent and then
stocks were up let's say
40 or 50 percent here well now what
you've done is you've moved from real
estate at the top to stocks at a low and
then you potentially go from
stocks at a higher level to now real
estate at a lower level now that is
extremely advanced and i don't recommend
it for anyone because this is
essentially timing the market and even
though it is possible to time the market
it's a lot easier to do so with real
estate it is very very risky and you
expose yourself to a lot of taxation
risk as well but this is the point of
the video where the most important thing
to think about is
