Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.

Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.

They have inverted demographic pyramids while ours is mostly shaped like a column.

Mother fuckers are trying to turn it into a cone.
I'd say it's more of a rhombus

Seattle is a shit hole in my opinion. Love Washington, not Seattle or Tacoma though. Not sure who would be dumb enough to buy in Seattle after morons took over blocks of the city. Copious amounts of homeless by my standards.

Yet still another indication of a bubble:

An increasing number of lawsuits are being filed against real estate agents as home prices continue to fall across the US

I used to read the SeattleBubble blog run by a useless eater Redfin apartchik. There was a fellow named Eric who frequently posted about his negtive cashflow properites and how it didn't matter as he was doing fine with capital appreciation which made his investments turn out positive, on paper. Older folks were cautioning him about this strategy, in case prices began to turn down. Wonder how he is doing now?

Lawrence Yun, the chief economist at the National Association of Realtors, told Insider in December that half the country could see home-price declines of nearly 10%.

Odd that the main NAR cheerleader would go public about a 10% reduction in prices.

This should be a good time to buy your shack in case if you live away from crazy urban areas while the bubble is blowing up. Especially gov is behind massive printing to keep the inflation in double digits.

Shouldn't we wait to buy until the 100s of millions die of Suddenly?

Squatting should be a better option, if the situation is really that bad.

Real estate data for Bay Area suggest the mid 1990’s was a big sale followed by the early 2010’s. Whoever bought during these time periods are likely way ahead of the game financially.

History tends to repeat itself so have an open mind and be on the lookout for the next big sale on real estate.
1576   Eman   2023 Jan 8, 8:29pm  

Just a few data points based on my experience with the South Bay market.

A SFH bought in 1996 has gone up 6x
A SFH bought in 1999 has gone up 4x
A SFH bought in 2003 has gone up 3x
A SFH bought in 2009 has gone up 4x
A SFH bought in 2013 has gone up 3x

Basically, almost no appreciation between 2003-2013. My family still owns all these SFH’s. We may move every few years, but we keep the previous house. We don’t sell.

Meanwhile, in the area I live (DC/Northern Virginia), most people live in their homes maybe 5 years or so.

... with 7 years being the minimum recommended stay to at least break even and not get fucked in the ass by the overhead.

No. I gave up on sports. It's all gambling and it's fixed. 100%. It's WWE or whatever wrestling acronym it is now. Sure they're athletic, but the best don't always win.

I'll do a Trumpism. Most people from Seattle are fine people, but they're mostly bad people. Sorry if you live there. The few times I've been there it's a big whatever. These places that build tourist attractions like Las Vegas, Seattle and Toronto that have buildings that look like a penis is gay to me. All three cities can eat shit.

My friend’s escrow just went up $525/month after 2 years of owning the home.

Did that person not look at their statement? Taxes and insurance are the only thing that would trigger that. You quoted escrow, so that has nothing to do with interest rates. Or that person was an idiot and has a variable rate mortgage. Or they're still a moron and didn't realize a purchase would require a reassessment of the property with the county based on purchase price. Bad Realtor and/or moron.

For every 1% increase in the 30 yr mortgage rate there is a 10% drop in price based on monthly home payment affordability. Prices need to drop at least 25%. I suspect the 30 year rate will stabilize around 5.5% in later half of this year.

For most, they are technically buying monthly payments of a mortgage, home insurance, property tax, and HOA fee, instead of buying a house.
