20 million households priced out of homeownership in a matter of months. Imagine being a home builder or home flipper intending to sell $400k homes in January.
People who buy homes, fix, and then flip them have been increasingly flipping them to investors who rent them out. Investors bought 22% of flipped homes last year, and bought 44% of flipped homes last quarter.
Opendoor just reported a $928M loss and is laying off 20% of its workforce….
What…. Another algorithm based ibuyer real estate firm not quite working as expected….
Weird…
With the latest Fed Hike we are sitting around 7% for interest rates…
This means about a 30% reduction in purchasing power from January!
How much further can the market appreciate even with supply at a 1/3 of a neutral market?
CNBC just announced that Existing homes inventory dropped 23.8% from last year…

Looks like with rates rising it’s keeping more people staying in their home vs selling…

What do you think this does to home values?
@alexwang Potentially... If that client could purchase the home I dont know if it really matters. Sellers likely know that someone at that price point can afford more.
@DARRENHARDY Darren I have a client that is a huge fan, is there any way to get a signed copy of your Compound Effect? I will gladly pay for it, I know it would be very impactful for her.
