Morgan Stanley: Here's HOW BAD the Housing Crash will Be.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
O Morgan Stanley just put out their
outlook for what their economists are
debating for the economy in 2024 and
they actually give a projection of how
much real estate prices might crash in
2024 I was somewhat surprised to see
Morgan Stanley talk about exactly this
and I was also surprised to see them
well uh you know say something that kind
of we've been talking about before as
well now just to quickly catch you up
before we hit their estimates the real
estate market has started picking up
again it hit a wall around the end of
September early October one of the
reasons it hit a wall was probably
because interest rates went up another
per. yeah it doesn't sound like a lot
but when you go from 7 to 8 and a
halfish percent 7 and a half to 8 and
half% it it's an impact people are like
okay you know what this is never going
to end turns out a lot of that was
probably because you had people like
Bill Amman shorting treasuries and
playing the market and uh real estate
temporarily took a little Dippy dud law
even though it didn't necessarily need
to in September I'm talking Super near
term okay now it seems like the buyers
are coming back out again but there's
very little inventory so you're seeing
the bidding wars again you just had like
a little six we breather what the
interesting argument is that I've been
making and then you're about to see what
Morgan Stanley says this is going to
potentially translate into in terms of
prices is a Resurgence of inventory in
the spring could lead to a decline in
prices after all think about this right
now you have low inventory but you also
have low buyers who are capable of
buying so what happen happens if
inventory goes down in the winter and
buyers go down in the winter then all of
a sudden spring hits and everybody's
like let's all sell our home now that
it's spring Boop inventory goes up but
buyers stay low that could lead to some
near-term softness in the real estate
market and could create some nice
opportunities to buy Morgan Stanley
talks about this and the economy let's
analyze this this is a note that they
just released here uh at here November
19th as you can see they just published
it as well even though the time there
looks like it was supposed to hit a
little earlier this just hit and we got
slowdown but no recession in their
Baseline scenario our economists
expected a significant slowdown in
domestic economies with inflation being
tamed but an outright recession being
avoided so now all of a sudden Morgan
Stanley as an entire Bank not just Mike
Wilson saying you know what probably
going to avoid a recession here and
worst case if we do end up having a
recession we would expect it to be a
shallow recession we've heard this
before pretty almost redundant dare I
say at this point now what is
interesting is they touch on China and
they admit that they believe or that
they overestimated the ability or the
willingness of Chinese or China's
government to actually stimulate the
economy leading to some of that softness
and continued deleveraging that we're
seeing in China it's basically a way
saying people are like yo government you
told us to take on a bunch of debt and
then you burned Us in the housing market
now we're like screw you we're just
going to deleverage and just stay out of
debt and the government's like that's
fine we are not going to print money
anyway so screw you too and so as a
result you have a pretty dang weak China
which of course Kenny G says b to dip on
yo it's China let's go okay that could
obviously be debated they talk about
potentially some more positiveness
coming to not just bonds but also agency
mortgage back Securities that sounds
pretty fancy let me just put that very
simply for you basically they're saying
in this paragraph here that come the end
of QT around the summer to the end of
2024 because we've got about 1 trillion
of QT left we're doing about 80 billion
that's about 12 months and we're totally
done right so somewhere between the end
of qt or the near end so call it July
and November of 2024 they actually think
there'll be a lot more stability in the
bond market which could be a buying
opportunity today one argument they're
making here but more relatable to the
real estate topic listen to this
paragraph right here short and sweet to
the point by the way before I hit this
let me know do you like these shorter
Style videos like under 5 minutes is
this easier for you to digest I'm really
trying my best to provide value where
people want it that's why I have a
politics Channel Down Below Market open
live streams sometimes closed live
streams will be done every day the
market is open starting at 5:25 a.m.
click the link down below it's not going
to be on the channel so click on the
link down below make sure you go to that
one also there's also the podcast
channel so check out the other channels
but anyway let me know also about how
you like the quick vid so what do we
have here us and commercial real estate
markets diverg over the course of 2023
their trajectory in the year ahead is
debatable dramatic affordability
challenges remain because of high rates
however looking ahead here's the line
folks you ready for this looking ahead
this should sound very familiar to
something that we've talked about before
uh but uh anyway here it is looking
ahead as rates come down what do we
expect well looking ahead as rates come
down we expect affordability to improve
and for sale inventory to increase okay
that makes sense rates down more people
can buy and inventory goes up us home
prices should see modest declines down
3% as as growth in inventory offsets any
potential increase in demand
more houses coming on compared to uh a
potentially buyers being available with
fundamental stress is still largely
unresolved though we expect the outlook
for commercial real estate to remain
challenging so in other words if you're
really concerned about residential real
estate yes maybe build in another 3%
buffer over at my real estate startup
we're build building in somewhere around
20% buffers this makes us relatively
insulated obviously $600,000 house uh 3%
is 18K if we're getting getting these
things for 150 to 200k on our market
value we think we're pretty insulated
but anyway I think it's worth looking at
this as basically one of two things one
think of this as yes there's still
uncertainty in the residential real
estate market much of the 10 to 20%
crash that we've seen in prices occurred
between May of 2022 and December of 2022
in most of 2023 at least January through
July prices were increasing now this
does mean you have to be careful of
using July August September comps if
you're trying to buy a property in Q4
2023 don't get screwed or misled by
those summer comps because prices have
come down since then Morgan Stanley
suggesting we can go down another 3% so
just have patience in the real estate
market I think is the most important
thing I don't think this Market's going
to run away from anybody and I think
there's plenty of time to take your time
be patient pick the right property and
don't overpay investors are grappling
with heightened geopolitical tension
ions while some Market signals such as
the price of oil suggest current
conflicts may be Regional the potential
for escalation shall not be ruled out
anyway there you have it for an about
6-minute video and now the disclaimer
thanks so much for watching we'll see
you soon goodbye and please let me know
if you like shorter why not advertise
these things that you told us here I
feel like nobody else knows about this
we'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes congratulations man you
have done so much people love you people
look up to you Kevin P there financial
