Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
@@KelvinWallace I will be happy getting assistance and glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one?
My Financial adviser is ‘’Colleen Janie Towe’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

Yep
What's the Zestimate say? 🤣
Brought to you by... the same people who brought you the housing bubble and economic collapse of 2008.
A home used to be something that most people could achieve, but the "flipping" and other "get rich" tricks destroyed affordable housing. Zillow's just another example of rampant greed.
Capitalism bruh. It incentivizes and refuses to regulate that greed.
@@elizabethbennet4791 It's not Capitalism which is actually a really good economic model when you factor human greed, which socialism is terrible when you factor human greed. The problem is the Federal Reserve and greedy individuals using government regulations to impede true Capitalism and both the democratic and republican party is paving the way for the destruction of Capitalism .
Just wait and see what it will be like under socialism which is already here.... get ready for a lot of suffering. History repeats itself over and over again... so sad!
the "flipping" and other "get rich" tricks did not destroy affordable housing... it's inflation that does that... now you need to dig deeper and figure out why inflation exist in the first place. Look at the Federal Reserve and its banking practices... "the greed of money is the root of all evil."
Well the oppositw of socialism is whays happening, considering we ve stopped regulating big companies and we still tax our citizens too highly for no real benefit- thats late stage capitalism.
@@James-nf4tm Explain true capitalism ?
Companies like Zillow, Open Door and others have inflated home prices in my area to the point where most young families can’t buy and many people end up renting with roommates. Their greed caused hyperinflation in home prices and it’s robbing young people of the American Dream. I hope they all go under.
Makes no sense. Zillow was buying at over $100K over the original asking price and sellers were accepting that, so who were the greedy ones? Zillow or the sellers? Why didn't those sellers go sell at a reasonable price to a young couple so that young couple could afford to experience the American Dream then?
Not to mention companies like BlackRock and Vanguard buying up entire communities and apartment complexes, pricing everyone out of those homes.
thank you for understanding what my generation is going through. bless
"American dream"... says who?... what do the words mortgage and mortuary have in common?
@@damienburks8299 i would sell my home to zillow any day they wanna pay 100k over price. Lol
Zillow priced actual human buyers who needed houses out of tight markets; I hope they lose massively
They already have, in their stock prices. I hope your retirement ipension, 401k or IRA didnt have investments in them, otherwise, you lost too. lol
They lost to the tune of well over $550 Million. They haven't figured out exactly how much over. They did it to themselves. The founders are a bunch of greedy asshats that deserve what they get. They started Zillow by trying to get over on Realtors by offering us a bunch of ad space that wasn't really all it was advertised as in the beginning. Then they cut way, way back. then they saw that all of the Realtors were pulling away and instead of dropping the ads, they screwed their sales teams and didn't pay their employees properly. a bunch of scumbags from what I hear. They are always looking to screw anyone they can. So, they bought some sort of algorithm, instead of paying a few professionals in these areas to actually do some research/work and find out the CCV (current cash value) what it would cost to rehab the houses, how long to do the work and then what the ARV (after rehab) would be, they decided They Know Best with a one time investment, instead of doing it the correct way.
Well, it only takes me about twenty minutes to do a full on market analysis package on any of the houses I look at to flip/hold etc. but my time is valuable. I also don't lose $550+ Million...
@@jmackinjersey1 That will make a good documentary. Many of the agents, owners and management companies I know also use the Zillow platform. I have many times. From my perspective they jumped into the 'I buy houses' group with their platform information and the view of rising trends and it didn't work out. So be it, if this buying was backed by others they lost their investment, and Zillows rep. is certainly bruised but many still use the platform to sell/rent/buy.
@@jmackinjersey1 You never made $550 million to lose either.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I would not even pay the “lower” price of $429k for that house, and I hope others do not either. GREED has sent these home prices sky high ! The only thing that will bring them back down to “affordable” is people refusing to pay exorbitant asking prices.
There are bidding wars still going on in some market til this day. I witnessed it.
Or, realistically, even half that.
It's the typical get rich scam of pushing the pyramid scheme strategy of get in and get out so that you're not left holding the bag.
I couldn't agree with you more! There are people who bought homes in less desirable neighborhoods because of this, and now their "biggest investment" will tank in value.
No one should buy for another 6 months.
UGGGLY house.
As a native of West Orlando (Winter Garden), I am getting so fed up with this. A few years ago my rent was $1450, now they’ve bumped it to $2350. And this is for a 3 bedroom apartment! Houses are so hard to get now.
Damn. That's insanity
Yeah I dunno why people live in FL, specially with kids, I've got 5 and I couldn't afford it there. I moved to a cheap state to live in and my mortgage aint $700 on a 5br with a huge piece of the mountain side, so quiet, no tourist to ruin it.
Florida wasnt this expensive before covid. People keep moving here. And alot of states with cheaper rent offer lower paying jobs. In every state someone is living paycheck to paycheck @PatrickBaptist-vv2bg
@PatrickBaptist-vv2bg I find that hard to believe. Your house would only be worth about 50k with that mortgage.
Zillow estimate priced the value of the home that I was interested in at $290,000. The appraiser, however, said it was only worth $206,000. Haven't trusted them since.
True, but you have to remember it’s just an estimate. Lots of things can add or decrease value.
which company is out there not to make a profit?
@N Diesal lol, all I mean is it just a model, any model has flaws and it’s never best to go with it until you check around
@N Diesal oh I’m sure they will clean up not too shabby
@@walexia I just mean that they acted like ‘oh no what a terrible situation’. Lol not for them
My dad told me when I was very young that something is only worth what someone was willing to pay for it
My dad told me the same thing.
my dad told me demand supply
So agree I was taught something is only worth what you can sell it for. Bet my grandfather planted that seed.
Example, Bitcoin...clears throat..
Capitalism ! Now is government manipulation. Where did Zillow got all the cash ?
How about a story on how the little guy out played a huge company like Zillow. Congratulations to all the people that sold to Zillow! You win!
Unfortunately, they are still listing the houses at extravagant prices - keeping out first time buyers. They learned this from the bankers in 2008 when the TARP funds propped up the banks on bad house loans. I expect that the taxpayers will once again be bailing out the zillow - just as we did with the car companies, airlines, banks, etc.
Yeah
No the little guy burned everyone when they took the high dollar offer. Artificial inflation will increase taxes on the community and price out actual families trying to get into a home. Everybody loses. Now when those sellers go and try to rent or buy something else in this overpriced market they won't be laughing about it anymore.
@@jmcnally647 Except the only way for the prices to stay high is if someone else buys it from zillow. If no one brought from zillow prices would go back to normal.
It is everyone who is buying houses at this price that is driving up the cost.
What is the seller supposed to do? Take the low ball offer and try and buy back into the overpriced market with less money?
@Michael McCormick
EXACTLY what I was thinking. The sellers won here and the company is taking the loss
This is a perfect example of Zillow's "Z-estimate" being worth sh*t. Zillow deserves this.
Exactly. Phukem. Its criminal what they did. Idiots paying 50% more than what the effing house was worth!!!
Unsophisticated using sophisticated means to extort money from unsuspecting people.
Their estimate was fine but their ability to read the market dynamically was their failure. They weren't doing good by regular people just looking for a home so...
@@Kimoto504 Exactly!!
Wait a minute here..these supposed "idiots" are rich...i thought that you capitalistbruhs are all "rich is the same as smart" always???
I think Zillow was under the mistaken thought of being able to control the market. So how does a house originally listed for $285K suddenly increase to $520K?? It worked, until it didn’t. The CEO was warned that he was out of his depth when he started this scheme.
Unless they were the ones giving these loans out for those prices I don’t see how a bank would cover the new price of the house if it was appraisal comes back say house is in fact worth 285K. Who in their right mind is going to pay 1/2 a million for a house that is only valued 280ish. And the bank won’t be covering the difference? They got ahead of themselves thinking the housing market would keep boiling
@@UpNorthCatsFan you are assuming every appraiser is honest. Some might work for Zillow
@@mominthe209 and that buyers aren't plopping down substantial CASH down payments from their prior homes they sold. If the buyer puts down a $200K deposit the bank is only on the hook for the balance. If the buyer defaults - they will lose their cash and the bank will have a small or no lose whatsoever.
Are some of these " homes" manditorily slated for needed upgrades like electric vs.gas and solar and etc etc? in the near Build back better scheme of things? 😮
Best to check your state regulations and ordinances, too.
Imo Many are choosing NOT to sell for an "upgrade."
A home is a home for some, or their kid's future..🙏
Zillow is an evil company that deserves to go under. I pray they never get a second chance.
The algorithm didn't fail - their greed failed.
Exactly
Some home owners made a bunch of money tho, I'm glad for them.
Wait until people lose 50% of value in their homes and interest rates rise. Millions are going to be underwater and foreclosed on.
Their business model failed
Exactly.
Zillow is NOT the only player in this game, by any measure. And many of the other, less visible, players are far more destructive.
Ponzi property scheme
China probably owns 1/3 of your neighborhood.
Yea zillow went under because they over paid, lol
They didn't realize people would only accept the high offers and ignore the low balls....Geniuses
Correct, many real estate agents themselves do this, 'I buy houses' and flippers. It is only an issue because it was high volume, visible company. Nothing illegal, they'll pay financially.
@@kennethb6211 Is that illegal? The US does not have laws to govern who can buy?
I have little to no remorse for Zillow, they are partially to blame for this hike in prices, I saw it first had so many times, when my 140k home, suddenly was worth 215k, and people kept telling me about similiar situations. I knew damn well my home was not worth it, but its a tall tale sign that a bust is coming soon, and Ill be ready
I lived in northern California during the housing frenzy of '07 '08 when $200,000 homes were selling for $750,000 and above. Greed is abundant in the housing industry.
@Jake Moeller How are you doing today? I hope you are doing good
People who bought these overpriced houses are fools.
They will be underwater 10 years at least, but after 15 years they will get back to even.
Many of the people who bought those homes were not familiar with the local market. Agents are important
@@ibnfaqir9223 and that's sad. Have we not learned fiscal prudence based on 2008? It's like a constant cycle of stupidity.
How when I was paying $2500 a month for an apartment, where a semi new home I'm paying 2300$ 0 down, how does that make me a fool?
@@gabef588 Did you pay over price?
Well done to the man who sold his house and net a huge profit. Zillow got played. The greed is real
Those of us who remembers The housing crash of 2008 understands and knows not to depend on this Overinflated market. I’m guessing Zillow is owned by foreign interest. Even right now I’m in the market to buy a home and I’m not even looking because I am waiting for the prices to go down and they are starting to go down now that the pandemic is pretty much over.
Legit. He hit the lottery lol!
Hello beautiful
@@donaldwilfred211 Hi
@@BuckleBunny there you go. I've been looking for this post. This Zillow mess is but one branch of the coordinated economy crash tree. $420 million is nothing when all these people default on their $200k home they're paying $500k if home values go down just $50k below uninflated prices, they only need to buy back $4600 homes. Out of 6.5 million homes sold in the US in 2020. It's going to be far worse than 2008. People who bought their homes $200k over actual price aren't gonna be able to find buyers until the dip.
My sister had to buy a home she was not interested in as she was desperate. She has 3 kids to worry about and her rent was getting too high. Every single home she tried to get was snagged from under her for crazy prices. Zillow and other companies like this, straight almost had my sister and her kids be homeless because they wanted to game the system. This makes me sick.
Last year was a very bad time to buy a home , the markets can be like that sometimes. Never be in a hurry to a buy a house, take time to do research, it's a long time investment/Asset
This comment is dumb, Brad. No one "has to buy a home". Purchasing a home is the ultimate privilege, not a right we're all entitled to. If she had enough money to afford a down payment, then she had more than enough money to pay rent for another year, so your ridiculous exaggeration about how she and her kids would have "become homeless because of zillow" doesn't even make sense. Its not just Zillow who's jacking up the prices, its the dummies with FOMO too impatient to wait for fair prices. Your sister should just ride out the bubble and continue renting like a financially responsible sane person.
Prices fluctuate in the free market. If the prices of homes go up, the supply will eventually go up as well in order to match, or less desirable homes will be available for less money. Either way, it'll eventually work out. IBuying has affected the prices of housing but that's part of this economic model. If your sister cannot afford to buy, she can rent; otherwise, she can combine financial resources with someone else in a similar position and either rent or buy. Or she can buy land in the exurbs and build her own house.
A little dramatic aye? Lol, nothing wrong with getting a 2BR or even a cramped 1BR and wait a bit
@@ericdavid8214 if you think renting is smart idk what else to even say to you.
This artifical pricing also affects rental, too, in the surrounding area.
And land prices too!!
No it doesn't, rentals are a completely different market.
Go look at the rent last year compared to this year and then try saying that again.
@@sneat2028 wtfreak???
@@user-mb8qi3ky5q Yeah, you understood my comment. I've been in real estate for a very-very long time. It doesn't matter if rental units are near a million dollar home or a home that is priced at $100k, rental market prices are not affected by home value. I guarantee the OP has zero experience in real estate.
Until recently, when I was searching for a home on Zillow, I didn't know they were my competitor too!
I was baffled when I found this out too, The market is so corrupt
Ain't that a kick in the property? Who knows if they were bidding the prices up on houses you were trying to buy???
That moment you realize a used house salesman is no different than a used car salesman.
@J F it doesn't make a difference! Your crazy if you think these politicians and the government are there to help you 🙄
Same shit here in Australia.
Everybody: Zillow’s algorithm didn’t fail, they just got greedy selling houses at outrageous prices.
Me: Wait, what?! Zillow SELLS houses?!?
now they sold them, all at once, and the price dropped. I'm literally laughing here. Someone forgot how markets work... startups are a funny thing, they don't need to make money.
They bought them over asking by a lot
Conflict of interest MUCH! Omg another crash coming
Who would have thought 2020 and 2021 were great for buyers. I really though there would be less buying.
@@monad_tcp It's the modern business school doctrine, "get into debt now, worry about profits later". The whole premise behind that idea is that the days of businesses starting off small and building themselves up are over, that's an outdated idea that takes too long, its better to spend really big, hire the best and most expensive pros, and come in like a wrecking ball against the competition by appealing to the consumers with a lot of goodies and perks from your service. Otherwise, you will have to wait a long time to be able to responsibly collect enough profits and experience to compete toe to toe with already established businesses. So, for example, Uber. Uber doesn't make a profit, but it doesn't matter, they are the dominant power now.
Zillow dropped the price another $10k since this aired, but the asking price is still close to $10k over Zillow's own estimate. Zillow paid $445k, tried to sell for $508k, now says it is worth $406k, and is asking $415k. I think someone needs to go back to algorithm kindergarten.
The hose is worth $165.
"artificial intelligence" HAHAHAHAHAHA
I used to work in the foreclosure department for one of the biggest banks in the US. Higher property taxes are one of the top reasons for foreclosure, people can no longer afford the payments.
@ M Williams How are you doing? I hope you are doing good
My town deorganized. Dropping my taxes by more then 50%.
At this point after owning my home 20 yrs btw today.
My Homeowners is more a month than my Home Owners
That would get you a senior discount.
people who sold are laughing all the way to the bank!
Until they go and try to rent or buy something else.
Uh, not really. It depends but understand the seller will need to live somewhere and either they will rent or have to buy again and they will pay the inflated prices for that. I own a lot of real estate and I see no point selling because it's a lateral move unless you have multiple properties and are downsizing.
Maybe only the rich house flippers be laughing, but any average person that tough they can packed big from the sale and invest in to something bigger and nicer, end up screwing them self. The market is way to expensive to buy anything, even bare land is extremely expensive don’t get me started on cost of developing and building from scratch. The rent is also extremely expensive now, so even if rent and wait for market crash to invest your money in to buying a property, you’ll end spending most of your profit in to rent and the rest will dissolve by inflation. My partner almost sold his house, I strongly talk him out of it after I did a little research on everything that was happening in our economy.
@@anastasiar9625 Exactly. Having your money in real property is a hedge against inflation, which will continue to be an increasingly large problem, going forward... particularly since so much paper is going into alternative investments. These alternative markets are wholly volatile. When companies based on nothing more than ideas go bust, you are left holding the bag. Whereas, you're unlikely to lose all of your money in real property, because you can always hold it and sell at whatever the inflated value is.
That said, you'll always have to deal with the inflated cost finding another place to live, so it's a game of musical chairs. In order for some people to win, someone else has to lose out. As well, greed remains a problem, because if you try to hold too many properties at once, without actually being able to maintain them, then you'll be forced to sell when it's not ideal. This is where regulations come into play to keep the playing field level. Unfortunately, nowadays, policy is written for those that don't like to play fair. So, unless the system is completely reset and we start anew with a merit based society, these issues will persist.
It made me laugh. A beautiful lakeside house in the Georgia mountains in 2018 sold for $318k. Zillow is now trying to sell it for almost 2 million. What balls🙄
LOL
That's interesting. What's the link to that property?
In 1995, someone bought the house I currently own for $30,000 back when it was brand new. By the time I bought the same house in 2009, I had to pay $225,000. Even if you count inflation and normal maintenance repairs, there is no way that the housing price should have jumped that much. And now in 2021 my house is listed on Zillow with an estimate of $430,000, which is good for me if I sell, but I'll still lose if I try to buy a comparable house for my next residence because the housing market in America is a complete ripoff. It's a broken system if the average homeowner has to spend their whole life paying off a house, in addition to all of the other bills and living expenses that we already have. It's almost not even worth buying a house if your income is less than $70,000 per year; might as well live in a camper van.
Trust me, homelessness will SOAR in the next few years.
It’s disgusting, what’s happening to the market.
The value of the building may depreciate but the land itself can appreciate due to simple demand and supply.
I mean… just rent, then you can move whenever and not have to worry about selling the property for a loss. Also, don’t have to pay property tax or any large maintenance bills if you rent, it’s landlords legal responsibility.
average rent for a home in my area comparable to mine is $2,200 a month.
Minimum payment for my mortgage, insurance and tax is $1,550. . .in 9 months it will be paid off and the minimum monthly payment will be less than $400 on an asset that has appreciated 224% since acquisition.
. . .clearly, renting for life is the way to go.

Also, when Zillow and others bought these houses at ridiculously high prices, the local taxes assayer then bumps up the price of your home, which of course is nowhere near that price. This of course leads to your taxes going through the roof. Which then leads to insurance companies to raise your value and of course these prices also rise. Nice little racket, if you ask me.
🤔 I wondered if taxes would be affected by the inflation... I live in NJ where property tax is ridiculously high

Me: "This overpriced RE market is going to crash."
RE Agent: "It's different this time than the crash of 08'."
Me: "You're right, it is different...this time the crash will be worse."
It is different because this time the buyers are actually risking their own money, in 2008 many of those houses were bought with 0 or very little down and mortgage were done without paper work. We will never see a crash like that again.
John I can’t walk in to a bank and just get a loan like 08. I have to actually qualify based on income. It is harder then ever to qualify these days. Sorry can’t justify a crash. Possible correction but no crash at least not soon. Maybe 6-12 years from now it’s all about money supply and if banks are lending
@@jonkanner playing devil's advocate on your comment: true that banks aren't just lending to everyone so wouldn't that mean that many people who can't afford these mortgages would be priced out already and the home values would drop anyway? Demand is there but the ability to get these mortgages aren't? Supposedly.
@@Jaystyr424 theirs definitely not one answer to explain the current situation. It also has a lot to do with the general area you live in. Could a correction happen yes. But an all out crash I just don’t for see it in the near future. Let’s see what happens to liquidity and interest rates. I can tell you I’ve been in this business for 8 years done a good amount of deals. Every time the interest rate hit 4 percent we had a major slow down in buying. So either yes people will get priced out and they will have to save up money for a bigger downpayment or interest rates in the future could correct the market. In my particular area orlando I see a leveling off happening. Def a peak, but still huge demand for homes in the 250k-450k range once you hit 500k you better have a stellar home to get that market. Some people are renters some are owners that’s just how it is unfortunately.
@@jonkanner interesting. Definitely appreciate your insight. Thanks!
When we moved in 2013, I checked the local Zillow listings and went to a local realtor who got us a very good deal on our home. My shopping experience with Zillow was that their listings were WAY over local market value.

I refuse to buy ANY home for 500k, knowing damn well the house is realistically only worth half that!.... I am not turning my life savings & inheritance over to greedy ass people or the corporations!....
Exactly!
We can't win even if we go the OTHER way. Example: a co-worker saw someone in his neighborhood put a house up for sale themselves. They did NOT go to a real estate scam agency. Their house was SURROUNDED by cars for two days straight. That's why it's impossible to find affordable housing any more. Homelessness will become a MUCH bigger problem in the very near future. I seriously am scared that I'll be homeless too. I've searched for a YEAR. A YEAR. I still can't find any houses that aren't a 90 minute drive to work that aren't priced in the $200s and up.
They should be prosecuted for price gauging and monopolizing they housing markets. The average person or next generations will not be able to purchase homes if these corporations perfect their game.
That's why we need to put bounties on the heads of greedy CEOs. When we're taken out a couple dozen, they may get the word. Or we may have to buy off one of their bodyguards, that's the cheap and easy way.

"Zillow bought sight unseen, offered well over asking, provided minor fixups expecting to turn around and flip the houses for quick profit..."
this...this is exactly the process that led to the housing collapse in Florida back in 2009. granted this is more of a self contained example versus the whole sale house flipping fiasco and shoddy bank dealings of back then, but the concept of "It can only go higher!" is what drove the collapse back then. Nobody ever learns.
I see a lot of this going on, because I'm in these neighborhoods everyday due to my business. I was waiting for this to happen. It was obvious!
Actually that crash back in 08' was due to financial institutions loaning money to people who couldn't afford the homes to begin with and making it an adjustable rate so they could get the house back and resale it. It was so pervasive that it crashed the economy and allowed the big players to gain even more control while getting BILLIONS in tax payer funded bailouts.... total bullshit
@@NotSure1776 Exactly - When you make loans that people realistically can't afford... those bad loans are going to crash down on you eventually. Here Zillow got greedy and now they are rightfully paying a high price for their high-handed behavior. Love it when that happens/
Ahh no it was the mortgages. That collapsed the housing market. Zillow has plenty of money. They will take a loss. People are buying houses cash driving prices up. You can’t get a mortgage unless you can prove you make enough to pay for it. Last time people bought shit they couldn’t afford. It is supply and demand. People are leaving big cities up north escaping the cold and authoritarian ways. People learned they could do their jobs from homes instead of a fancy office in Manhattan ,so why not be in sunny Florida where I am not being told what to do. Baby boomers retired in droves and brought their cash to buy houses . They got it by selling their houses up north. So if anyone thinks it will bottom out like last time they are nuts it will level off and maybe go down a smidge but it won’t bust. Texas and Florida are 2 states driving the explosion they have given the finger to the man. Businesses are coming here people are thriving.
No, what's happening now and 2008 is completely different. Banks got greedy off the interest rates the mortgage bonds were making by giving subprime loans to people that shouldn't gotten approved (low credit scores, bad employment history). What made it even worse was the credit default swaps they kept selling to each other, knowing full well those mortgage bonds were dog shit.

The property taxes at least here in Hawaii are actually not generated by the actual price tag of the home. If they were we would all go broke since the medium home price for a single family home on Oahu is at a million.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and lot sizes are one of the things that matter with taxes. Hence why the country wants to know if you added that bedroom or bathroom.

This is what is wrong with all algorithms. House buying is an emotional proposition not entirely based in numbers. If you really like and feel a centain way about a property the price may be slightly overlooked but nothing is worth way more than cash value.

It actually seems like an area where the algorithm should be fairly accurate- very similar size, type and age homes and lots with dozens of nearly identical properties nearby. Its algorithm is fairly worthless in an area like mine - 125 y.o. neighborhood with all custom homes of widely varying sizes, ages, types and upgrades over the decades and with a topography that makes each lot fairly unique.

@@realestateunplugged6129 I agree that inflation is the hidden tax. The worse part about inflation is people who actually try to save money are hit the hardest. Every year they watch the value of their savings decrease because the interest the bank pays them is no where near enough to cover the inflation. This cause people to make more and more risky "investments" which is really just gambling to try and cover the gap. Hence you have the merging of commercial and investment banking which we were warned about 90 years ago during the great depression.
Whoever bought a home during the recent "market boom" where homes were being priced 30% to 50% higher than normal, are in for a HUGE equity surprise. Once the market cools off and real estate agents stop exploiting their customers the customers will find out their home is actually worth considerably less than what they paid for. In other words, instead of building equity over the years they will be playing catch up. It will be years before these homes acquire any equity and get out of the red. Unscrupulous real estate agents who know what they are selling are the vermin of society.

People and investors have been buying land since it was first stolen from the indigenous people. That's not the problem. It's buying a LOT of properties, and attempting to artificially inflate prices--without making improvements to the properties. It's pricing people out of owning homes. It's taking a page from Amazon's playbook, and trying to become the go-to real estate company, and driving out smaller firms that can't compete.
It's not just real estate I've got issues with; it's ANY business that gets so big it can swing the economy of a state, or the country. When these corporate giants go bad, WE have to bail them out. They need to dust off the monopoly laws, and write a few more--with teeth.
Lots of people are against putting limits on businesses--because of precious capitalism. But if we're going to stick with capitalism, we need to LET THEM FAIL and stop bailing them out! I'd rather impose some laws that would keep them from becoming so big. Limitations would help smaller businesses, investors, innovators, start-ups, and underdogs to thrive.
In other words, make money, but don't make your own economy!
I found that NO online home site was worth a damn as they will overvalue/undervalue homes. they valued my 4 BR home at half what the house next door was valued and only a 2 BR and in poor condition where mine had new floors, cabinets, siding, and roof. no such thing as truth in advertising!

My Dad told me to pay off my house as soon as possible and I did....in 6 years...$90 grand and 18k down with 72 grand left to payoff. I owned a small house before this and it was there that I found out the HORRIBLE truth about mortgages. One day I was looking at an amortizing schedule (nobody had said a word to me about this before). I saw that out of my first mortgage payment of $310 (this was 21 years ago) only $10 went toward paying back what I owed . After a lot investigating I was told that I could pay on what I actually owed with a seperate check with "principle only" written on the check. Then I called the mortgage company after I sent in these "extra" checks to make sure they applied the seperate check as I intended. People, if you have a 30 year mortgage, for your own good please do what I did or you may end up paying back 3 times what you borrowed.

@@AlvaSudden They shouldnt be able to get loans like that when regular people cant.
Selling leads to real estate agents. It wasn't unlimited. They had to fire 25% of their staff to deal with their losses. Surprised to hear American Floridians so angry about Capitalism in action.
@@Maybe1Someday If regular people are not credit worthy why should banks loan to them? Lending to folks who could not pay caused the 2008 crisis.
PPP FUNDS
I should forward this to my clients who insist on referencing Zillow.
Every time we tried to buy a home, the prices went higher for “bidders!” WTF. 1 million for a 900sq ft apt.
