Blackstone is liquidating houses in Florida.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2024
- Blackstone is beginning to sell their housing portfolio in Florida, particularly here in St. Petersburg where the inventory of homes for sale has spiked in the last year.
This house behind me in this video is behind sold by a Blackstone-owned company called Home Partners of America. They bought it in August 2022 for $380,000 and now they have it listed for $370,000 - at a $10,000 loss.
Other Wall Street investors are also now selling homes on the US Housing Market, including First Key, Progress Residential, and AmericanHomes4Rent. The reason these investors are selling is because the local rental market is softening and because inventory is exploding.
Home prices in Florida look like they are on the way down. Especially in a market like Tampa-St. Petersburg.

3 weeks ago I showed you First Key Homes dumping a house in Punta Gorda at a 25% loss.
Now we have Blackstone selling a house in St. Petersburg for a $10,000 loss. I spoke to the local realtor here who said this is one of many that they are selling.
Meanwhile - inventory in this ZIP code is now almost double the long-term average.
Florida is going down. And going down fast. Many locally here though, amazingly, don't know it. Many people I speak to think prices won't go down (even though they are already going down).
Will be a very interesting second half of the year in Florida.
Thats what worrys me here too...
I am interested in how 2026 will be in Florida, I imagine we will have much more reasonable prices again.
For all you HOA haters, love the RV in the front yard look in the neighborhood Nick is walking.
I've lived in st Pete for 14 years... I've never seen so many places come on the market in such a short period of time (Jan 2024).
I help a lot of people all over Pinellas County and I see homes on the market surging, but not selling.
Will THEY RE BLOW UP ANOTHER BUBBLE. >>> AGAIN!!?? 08s, 2020s and no what???
I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me. I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?
"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.
this sounds considerable! think you know any advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
I'm in Michigan, and the housing market here over the past 7-8 years has been unprecedented. Houses that were purchased for $130K in 2015 are now going for $590K. These are tiny, poorly constructed 950-square-foot homes in quiet, mediocre neighborhoods. Meanwhile, nicer, average-sized homes in better neighborhoods that were over $300K a decade ago are now selling for $750K+. It's wild.
A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advice but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
@@Jamesrobert627 I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business.

Prices need to drop $100,000 to $150,000 for them to be affordable for the average person.
In SoCal, we need them to drop $400,000-500,000.
A lot of buyers need to lower their expectations, too. When I was young, families of six lived in a 1,000 sq ft, three bedroom, one bath bungalow. No granite countertops, no "master suites".

In 96 my mother worked for $11 an hour 50 hours a week and was able to get a 48k mortgage on a 1600sqf home from saving $200 a month for 2 years.

A $10,000 reduction from $380,000 is comical. If Blackstone really wants to unload this property, sell it for $200,000.
FFS I wouldn't pay more than $125k for that crap box.
That's too much! About 125,000!
@@faithsrvtrip8768 this is just the start, wait 3-4 more years then it will be 125k
They are all liek this lmao. 2 houses are for sale on my street (5 houses total), so I decided to check on some properties. First one I looked at is reduced 10%, asking $650 when they bought it for 450 in 2022.
It literally has not even begun.
Exactly!
Because so many people overpaid for homes during a period when interest rates were low, I believe there will be a housing crisis because these people are in debt. If housing prices continue to fall and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the house and it goes into foreclosure, they will have no equity because they will not make any money if they sell. I feel that many people will be affected by this, especially given the predicted mass layoffs and fast rising living costs.
I recommend investing in shares to balance out your real estate assets. Even the toughest recessions can give wonderful purchasing opportunities if you are prudent. Furthermore, volatility can create wonderful short-term buy and sell opportunities. Although this is not financial advise, you should buy right now because money isn't king right now!
You are correct. With the help of an investing coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets, and I was able to create a little over $830K in net profit by using high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and bonds.
Would you mind sharing some information on the adviser who assisted you? Since the age of 18, I've been saving for a pension through a company program. As I became more taxed, I enhanced my workplace pension with a SIPP (tax advantages). I'm now 50 and would like to aggressively grow my wealth; there are a couple cars I still want to drive and mega-vacations I still want to take.
Her name is Annette Christine Conte can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
Thank you for sharing; I will need all the help I can get because I recently sold some of my assets in order to invest in the stock market.
Does anyone have any idea which stocks may be experiencing major growth this new year season? A lot of people have been talking about an April bounce. I recently sold my Boca Grande, Florida, house, and I want to invest a lump sum before equities recover in the stock market. Is now a good time to buy or not?
yes, transportation and e-commerce among other sectors are expected to experience growth, but who knows, the market has been a basket of surprises.
I was left holding worthless positions in the market in 2020 because of these market uncertainties, which is why I don't base my market assessments and decisions on rumors and hearsay. Before I started noticing any noticeable improvements in my portfolio, I had to fully redesign it with the assistance of an advisor; I've been working with the same advisor and have scaled up to 750k
True, we’re only just a piece of information away from amassing wealth, I know alto of folks that made fortunes from the Dotcom crash as well as the 08’ crash and I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present market, could this coach that guides you help?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
I'm eagerly anticipating a potential housing crisis to make affordable purchases after selling some properties in 2025. I'm also thinking about investing in stocks as a backup plan. Any advice on the best timing for these investments? I've seen substantial trading profits, but there are worries about the market's instability and the possibility of a dead cat bounce. Can you explain why this market phenomenon happens?
Investing in real estate and stocks might be a wise choice, particularly if you have a sound trading plan that can get you through profitable days.
You're not making mistakes; you just don't have the know-how to profit in a tough market. In such challenging times, only highly experienced individuals who went through the 2008 financial crisis can anticipate making significant profits.
Lately, I've been thinking about reaching out to consultants for advice. I'm at a stage where I could benefit from some guidance, but I'm uncertain if their services would truly be beneficial.
Desiree Ruth Hoffman, my CFA, is well-respected in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her qualifications. With her extensive experience, she serves as an invaluable asset for those seeking guidance in the financial market.
Thank you for this tip. I must say, Desiree appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
If anything, it's likely to get worse. Affordable housing will soon become unaffordable. Therefore, I advise taking action now because today's prices will seem like bargains tomorrow. Until the Fed takes more decisive action, I expect we will see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't just halfway rip the band-aid off.
In the early 1990s, when I bought my first home in Miami, it was common for first mortgages to have rates between 8% and 10%. It's important to recognize that we may never see 3% rates again. If sellers are forced to sell, home prices might need to drop, resulting in lower valuations. I believe many people share this perspective.
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.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

When prices drop about 50 % , then I will be a potential buyer.
For houses like that first one, maybe aim for a 70% drop. That one was built in 1955 and is a concrete block house, probably full of mold and originally sold for $15,000.
@@OneWildTurkey That's my problem. I spent 2 years looking for a good house in Tampa-St. Pete with a developer friend of mine. Any house built before the late 1990s won't be anywhere near current hurricane code and will almost 100% have mold and plumbing issues or need a new roof. Once we calculated turning that into something worth selling the margins were thin. It only got worse since then. Places to build new houses were almost as expensive per plot as the full price of building the house. I'm going to buy some land and build my own home in north GA in a few years and I will have acreage a manufactured home and a conventional built home for the price of a 1/4 acre plot and an old 1400 sq ft house without a garage in the bay area.
The problem is if prices drop by 50% it will be part of a huge economic downturn. Depending on your situation if it does you may be unemployed and not be able to buy it anyway. Be careful what you hope for.
Same here. And I have cash.
If you can qualify for a loan when prices drop 50%, or are you paying cash?
I bought a house in a run down neighborhood in Jacksonville in 1984. The neighborhood has gentrified. For several years I got dozens of calls a week from people wanting to buy my house, sometimes as late as 10 PM. I got letters from "young couples in love with my home," who wondered if I would give up my home for the sake of their happiness. I could not be happier that the bubble is bursting for these investors.
Stan, I also am thrilled to death that the bubble may be bursting for investors. Our young generation needs to get on the ladder of home ownership - be owners, not renters
@@macpduff2119they will all get the chance a year or 2 from now

Yeah. Those aren't "couples in love". Those are investors. A real couple would knock and negotiate. "Keep my number in case. Have a great evening!" 👍
They could keep the houses on their books if they can't sell them, and then write them off on their federal income taxes.

Tiny homes are selling in my area for $800k. Absolutely ludicrous!
just sold a property in Texas and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
true, despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately 950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
how can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and I am eager to participate. who is the driving force behind your success?

When investors bought up houses by the thousands they drove up the prices. Now that keeping them is is no longer profitable guess what's happening.
Nothing is happening houses keep going up
They dump them back on the deplorables
While lower to middle class families were struggling to afford homes, all these investors snapped up properties and raised prices and rents. I just can't feel sorry for the greedy investors!
yup

I have a friend who bought his house in 2005 for a little over a million dollars. He sold it 14 years later for $835k. Timing is everything.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll email her and hope to get in touch soon.
What does this mean for the Real Estate market? Is this a good time to go in or would one be better off with Stocks? Been doing a few research on these options as I had planned on going into one this second half of the year and it seems both are down at the moment
The good old Stocks...There's a reason why people always think stocks when they hear investments.... Of course, you have to be well informed on the right ones or better still, get a financial expert to help you out (that way, you save time and minimise risks). Made my first million few weeks back from the Nvidia rise without having to do much unlike with flipping houses which would take up to 3x the time with 3x the work and best part is no one wakes you up by 2am to complain about a leaking pipe.
none is a good investment these days. the government has made sure of it

The housing market is currently a mess, Don't go there
History repeats. Florida land boom of the 1920's went bust in 1926-28 before the stock market crashed. It's happening again. Love it. Bring it on.
Thanks Nick for all the work you do. I’m here in Hernando county and went through the previous crash of 2008. I rented the the home in 2006 where the previous owners who were out of state investors. Eventually I purchased the home from them in 2009. They paid around 226k and I purchased it for 132k. Fortunately they came to the closing table with 50k out of pocket to sell. Amazing it was!! I’ve been here ever since then and locked in a 3% mortgage, taxes and insurance is still low. As I tell many to hold on as it’s going to get rough and deals will be there if you have patience. What goes up will come down and rinse - repeat!!
I find 370k for that old Florida style house is kind of funny. In most of Florida, you can't even build a house like that anymore. You really can't modernize them that much. Most are on tiny lots with no room to expand. The majority, by far, have damaged terracotta pipes leading from the house to the sewer or a septic system that's usually in need of repair. Even on its best day, when I was a kid in the 80s, that was a 60k house, maybe 90k in the late 90's. In my mind, it's not worth a penny over 110k. I've owned plenty of these, and the rehab on the best of them is usually 50k. That house, in St. Pete, is way over priced. I'm happy for whoever sold that house to Blackstone for getting out and making it a corporate investor's problem. They'll never, ever get their money back. The write down on that house before it sells is going to be epic.
In-addition several of these homes are not in greatest neighborhood (ie hood), especially in St. Pete/Tampa.
Bingo.
That was a 15k house when it was built

I tell you this : I listened to this guy back in 2020 when he was advising everyone that a big crash is coming and not to buy! Huge mistake!!
Thank God I bought my place in the end of 2021 when was a betting war but guess what…. my house has a 3.1 % interest rate and it went up in value substantially. Best decision ever !!!
In in meantime his channel exploded and he is making a nice income on spreading nothing more then assumptions like everyone else out there.
Follow your gut feeling I did!!
Until they drop their prices enough, they are not selling anything.
I know it. It is shocking how much these crummy little hovels are listed for. I would like to see the comps to see if they are selling at all for these prices.
BANKS will be the NEW INVESTORS stuck with so many of these houses
@@InMyBrz Yep and the government will bail them out with printed money.
I’m a new dad, I moved from Tampa to Santa Clara a few years ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home there, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction? Looks like NVDA, TSM and AMD and AVGO are strong buys this week.
it’s a personal decision, but according to Forbes, housing activities will remain stagnant for the most part of the year, so maybe hold off a little.
well you could put a downpayment on a home and as well diversify as much as you can into Ai, energy and big pharm. stocks like Pfizer and JnJ, ASML, MLM and S&P 500 ETFs.
Certain ai companies are rumoured to be overvalued and might cause a market correction, I’d suggest you go with a managed potfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I making a whooping $738k in Q4 last year.
I'm an art collector, this is not very new to me but has a nuance to it. Can you assist me? how do I find a fduciary
Monica Mary Strigle is a hot topic even among financial elitist in lower Manhattan. Just browse, you’d find her, thank me later.
Blackstone is one of the reasons why there is a housing increase in prices! $400 a square foot for a older home is nuts!

Three years ago I run away from Florida when I saw 👀 the rise level of water all over. I bought instead in NC. Asheville ❤❤❤❤
Florida is a unique housing market. The prices went up too fast in the last few years. C0vid didn't effect us. People were fleeing here. I bought a house for $185K in 2019. A year ago, I could have sold it for $350K within three days. Homes were being bought online sight unseen in my neighborhood.
I bought my current home in early 2021 and paid $149 here in Florida and it's currently showing able to sell clothes to 300 which is ridiculous
@i_brought_a_flower , are you in Florida? Did you originally price your home too high?
What slowed down the market in my area is the interest rates. People's first concern isn't how much the house costs.. The primary concern is how much their monthly cost will be if they need a mortgage.

I've lived in St. Petersburg my whole life, and right now is the hardest time people in the city have had getting by. Most of these prices are propped up by outsiders, like Californians and New Yorkers, selling their homes for three or four times what a home costs here, then moving here and thinking it's a deal.
The biggest issue is, like you said, the incomes in the area nowhere match the cost of living now. Either incomes have to come up or prices have to drop. I agree, and I've been saying the same thing for the past two or three years at least. Florida has raised the minimum wage, but just because the floor is moving up doesn't mean companies are raising their other employees' pay at the same rate.
But if you're still here you should check out the Shore Acres neighborhood. People are selling because of flooding issues and even though it's one of the more premier areas in the city.
0:29 concerning? Absolutely not! this was expected and anticipated. Prices rise 100-150%, everybody parties, but prices fall 2-3%, people start freaking out. Don't worry, about 47% more to go!
My wife and I have made a game of counting for sale signs when driving. In some neighbourhoods we are seeing like every other house. Some areas 3 or 4 houses in a row have for sale signs. Its very noticeable. Denying this is very delusional. I understand why some people are deluded about it though. Emotions relating to money are very hard to deal with and manage. All I can do is feel sorry for them at this point
Are you in Florida?
Problem in Vegas is a bunch of Ibuyers went crazy in 2021, Zillow would have 30+ homes listed every week while buying 30+ homes then have the new homes listed 2 weeks later for 20K more while buying 30 more homes at the new price. Then in late 2022 all the ibuyers liquidated which drove our inventory up to 7-9k homes through early 2023. Our inventory got as low as about 2500 again at the start of 2024 and has actually been climbing quite rapidly for the last few months already breaking 5300 now and adding about 40-50 houses every couple days. Very few homes at the lower end of the market have been selling from what i've seen although $1m+ homes are, just mostly after large discounts from listed price.
Here is the thing about that house you showed. It sold for $155k in 2019 which to be honest for that neighborhood was too much then. In 2019 that is a $100k house all day. For them to list it for $370k is still a massive rip off. That area near Kenneth City and Pinellas Park is not the greatest area.
Exactly!!
Obviously you know the area!
First house in the video has a real worth of about $80,000, so it may have a ways to fall😂
You're anchoring to 1990s prices.
Blackrock was buying a lot of homes in residential neighborhoods here in Mississippi. The HOAs have to limit the number of homes that are for rent. You are absolutely right about mom and pop owning about 10 properties in my neighborhood but they also live here in this neighborhood so they keep up with the maintenance.

Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Ann Marie strunk, has been an amazing experience.
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦♀️of myself because of low finance but I still
believe in God
I'm favoured, $90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Ms Ann Marie strunk 😊🎉
I live in Saint pete. You are spot on. For sale signs everywhere. new homes being built on every corner. its wild.
Same up here in jville. They have nearly filled in the entirety of the East side of the St Johns. "from the river to the sea" all the way down to St Augustine, with big budget single family housing and sparse apartment buildings in between. Large population of "new wealth" from overseas that are about to get walloped.
Over building idiots
$10,000 off $370,000? What a joke! The property is worth $270,000 at the most!
I wouldn't pay more than $189k
They are so greedy! I'm not sad for Blackstone!
Less. It’s a flood area, bad schools, old house, bad neighborhood…. Way too over priced. Insurance on that would be 4-5k MINIMUM… if not much higher.
Look at the neighborhood 270k is a joke also!
Honestly, would you live in a 700 sq ft house with a stupid carport?
Yes real estateprices in certain areas in Florida may have been elevated due to corporate buying, but private individuals were still bidding up housing pricing a few years ago, bidding wars etc...now this is the result of this rampant buying.....
Where I grew up thats a $70K HOUSE....
Not relevant. So what?
The fire sale on homes will start in 2025. You will care in 2025 if you’re selling. Nobody has cash to buy a house. The property tax and homeowners insurance in Florida has gone way up.
The market can’t afford it.
@@kathrynj.hernandez8425 Neither are you.
@1eyedwilli3
Same where I grew up.
@@1eyedwilli3 If you come to my town, that is STILL a $70K house or less.
*Glad I sold in April 23. Sold for 10% over asking and no inspections and cash. Closed in 7 days. Sold to an individual not a corporation too*
Real-estate prices are not crashing, they are only correcting!
what I see here is that Blackstone bought at the all time high 3 years ago and paid way too much...
prices during the Pandemic were stupidly high and people who bought during that time period absolutely did pay a premium, unfortunately!
My Mom is one of those small investors referenced in this video. She's got two rentals and I suspect she'll do the same thing she did in 2008. Nothing. She'll just keep collecting the rents on her paid off units and not spend much time worrying about the monthly fluctuations in the value of the property.
@@desimo147 Because your mom is smart.
Unfortunately, unlike the GFC, we are about to be flooded with record numbers of rental units and all while the carrying costs (taxes, insurance) is soaring along with inflation... This is not 2008.
And just like 2008, she'll be just fine.
That's the beauty of being a small time investor. Unlike big equity firms, we can buy one off properties and don't need massive returns for it to be worthwhile.
I know a few people that you would call mom and pop landlords and all except one are multi-millionaires.
I sold my house in Saint Petersburg FL in 2022. I got ahead of the curve. People had a bidding war. I skipped inspection and cleaning out the house. Everyone was desperate to get it so they gave me everything I wanted. I was fortunate. Now I live cheap in TN.
Tn isnt to cheap anymore !
@@txfreightbroker8390 I got 2.26 acres with my house. I paid 130k for it. I spend $300 a year on property tax and 1.2k for a full year of house insurance AND car insurance combined. That is pretty cheap to me.
I agree with you completely. Most people are in debt, in distressed, and home insurance prices are way up. I am waiting for 2025-2026 to invest in real estate.
Dude. You were literally just a few blocks away from me 😂
This neighborhood looks so soulless, sterile, and depressing-and that’s not even considering the suffocating heat and humidity. How can you stand to live there?
@@RodrigoTechadorthis is what 90% of Florida neighborhoods built in the 50’s to 80’s look like
@@RodrigoTechador That neighborhood looks lush and inviting compared to most of the neighborhoods in Phoenix. Its all rock yards and cactus here. Grass yards are frowned apron and restricted in some HOA subdivisions plus its crazy hot and dry here in the summer.
@@Kawasaki750H2stroke In fairness, I hate Phoenix too. I went out there for a medical school interview, and my visceral response was “not no, but _hell_ no!” It was the most plastic, artificial-looking city I’ve ever had the misfortune to visit. It felt like a Hollywood movie set. There was no sense of community, because every neighborhood seemed to be gated. Even the mobile-home parks were gated! The airport was beautiful and I’d love to hike the mountains, but I’d never live there.
@@RodrigoTechador Yep but it wasn't always like this. I grew up here and it was nice 40 years ago. We didn't have as many crazy hot days and cooled off earlier in the evenings. Today Phoenix is a heat island that doesn't cool off in the summer nights and crime is really bad now with lots of drug addicts. Everyone wants a gated community because of the crime. The air in Phoenix is so bad with the pollution and dust. I would bet its one of the worst places for people with breathing problems.
That St. Pete property is currently under contract taking back up offers. Also it may be being sold 10k under but it could have been a rental so it may have rented for $2300-$2500 per month. Not a bad return on capital for two years. That area in Kenneth City a municipality within Saint Pete has a little higher tax millage rate.
I don't think that property is actually in KC, just on the line. Kenneth city homes it in their address.
Houses will probably never go back pre-covid prices. Remember... Money printer went brrrrrr and dollar value went poop.
Homes have been turned into commodities by the flipper and investors. And commodities go up and down.
Yes, money supply is up ~35% since January 2020, and only the most speculative, bubbly markets have a chance of declining that much. But relative to median income and money supply, home prices are at historically high valuations, so a double digit % price decline in the national average from the 2022 peaks is more likely than not, absent trillions of new stimulus and money printing.
Basically, the price goes up 3 steps in the ladder and then goes back down 1 after, and so on infinitely until wages are left in the dust like that one fat kid in school while playing sports.
Mom and pop owners who bought wisely for long term rent and to avoid risk will HOLD. Rents will stay with inflation generally. And transaction cost of getting out are significant.
I can't believe prices are finally going down! My dream vacation home in Lakewood Ranch is currently being tracked, with the goal of acquiring a new home at a more advantageous price point.
Unbelievable how we are all... "controlled."
@@geocam2 Umm.. ok.
It's a race for the exits... been there and seen that... many cycles before (I am so old I fart dust).
I am born and raised in Pinellas county, seeing the prices that have escalated there is absolutely astronomically insane.
They were running commercials for a couple years here for investors in home buying funds. Not anymore. And in Vegas, unless you have driven through there you have no idea how many 1000s of homes and rental units are being build all year long. It’s crazy!
Great Video - I was born and raised in St.Petersburg , Fl - Great city . 380k for that house is way to high , good area though .
I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
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.
Consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.
I will be happy getting assistance and glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one?

Careful, Real Estate is Local, Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, Nashville & other Boom Market's are experiencing losses, not other areas like the Metro DC/Baltimore/DC region where I own my home. One Size Do Not Fit ALL !
It's a house of cards though. The great depression started with a land bust in Florida. The GFC started with a land bust in Florida.
It's concerning that these Wall Street investors were allowed to buy so much housing in the first place.
they had bux. they won bidding wars. wall street cares about wall street. ordinary peons? go live in a cardboard box for all wall street cares.
It's real estate. Investors have bought property for decades. It used to be commercial more or less but there's no laws or regulations forbidding investors from buying. You're free to go buy as much as you want.
You should be mad at the fed that made interest as low as it was. Investors just took advantage of it
@pedraw A home is a necessity, a requirement for survival,
and local, state, and federal government's priority should be assuring EVERYONE a home.
@@carpediem44 and yet that is what happened. The government "assured" people low interest loans with poor credit and mandated zoning for single family homes. It created the problem.

Don’t buy homes let the price drop so institution investors loose their pants. Take same approach for the new cars.
The investment firms are always looking for an easy buck they found out what small local investors already knew... it's work!!! Deadbeats, the court system, renter damage, water bills and market shifts.
I think this is only a Florida thing and maybe some select markets; there won't be housing crashes because there has been no real increase in foreclosures. Until that happens, there won't be a crash anytime soon, and BlackRock still has a lot of money waiting to buy housing if the market goes down just a little bit.
The summed it up perfectly. They're licking their chops.
My wife has sound a bunch of property in Pinellas County-for 20 plus years. As a broker, she’d tell you-it’s a buyers market-over priced properties are just sitting longer and longer. Listings up, closings down. And it’s till 40% over priced.
It's very odd when the law of supply and demand doesn't apply to prices, right?
@@chadical3151it is not always instantaneous. The housing market is a huge and complex beast.
I bought a house from Blackstone/HPA and the tenants had an unpaid balance of over 45k before they were evicted (they left documents in the house) then the old pipes burst and destroyed the upstairs bath and kitchen. Instead of fixing they sold at an 18k loss over purchase and they had replaced all the windows. Houston market.
I wonder if Wall Street investors thought of the insurance mess and fiasco in Florida😮. Looks like a housing market collapse is not very far
If you don't find a means of multiplying your income you will wake up one day to realize you didn't plan...
WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE WHEN HOPING TO INVEST
Coming soon to the DFW area. There's so many new apartments built, and most of them very nice apartments in DFW that rents are dropping. In Colling country, Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney. you can get a new one bedroom apartment for $1,250. That's amazing considering that down the street homes are $450,000 with 8% interest rates, and $1,000 for taxes and $250 insurance. If you buy here better have 100K for down payment, and expect to pay $3,000 to $4,000 a month escrow, or rent down the street for $1,700 for 2 bedroom.
Dfw ahead of florida
I lived in Orlando Florida in 1986. My Apartment rent was $300.00 a Month. The good old days. Will we see these prices again.

WHY NOT sell the house with YOU in it and rent to the newer owner? Your LL should pay you for moving.
@@Chicago48 As a property manager I would NEVER pay for a tenant to move. Given that the rental contract supersedes the purchase contact (by law ) the new owner will have to honor the lease. Typically what I would do in this situation is tell the tenant that we're NOT going to renew the lease and that if they find a new place beforehand we will let them out of the lease at no cost. If the Tenant finds a cheaper place they move quick, if not they move when the lease is up. Simple.
Why not buy a house?
If they haven’t sold by now-it’s too late. Unless they are willing to really dial back their expectations. My wife is a broker-I hear this stuff everyday. Sellers are stuck with houses and don’t want to hurt their pride and lower the price. Houses just sit.
I could never figure this out you're making 30 is the $50,000 a year and buying a $370,000 home it just doesn't add up
It's a good time to get out. I went to a city council meeting in St Pete and had a city employee refuse to talk to me as a property owner in the city and call me a "rent seeker". They are hell bent on destroying the mom and pop investors.
@@W9CR to late.. unless ur perfect
Good.
Truth is a beatch.
In 2019 that property sold for $155k. It looks like they did put some money into it and it's under contract now (7/28/2024). If the final price is anywhere near that $370k listing price, they'll have made some good dough on that one. So even though it's down 10k, it's still way over historical norms.
There is a realtor in Las Vegas who puts out a TH-cam video every Saturday Jerry Abbott At his channel Las Vegas living who is a realist and points out a couple of properties each week showing the previous purchase price and then, say 2 months later a new listing price which is completely ridiculous, then following the price usually going downward and downward until it sells for a price much lower than the original asking price, showing hopeful people looking to buy a home to make a low ball offer, and not to bite on any existing home price, unless it has already been on a downward trend.
Great video Nick, absolutely spot on.I cant wait for interest rates to Drop , hopefully 3 - 4%,, home prices 30-40% so we can move back to Florida gulf coast !!
Where are you living now?
You can have interest rates drop or prices drop.
Pick one
@@priestesslucyIll come back for this comment when you are proven absolutely wrong.
@@priestesslucyexactly, not both. Preferably interest rates, because that would keep the price of the house inflated for the owner to profit. The average person wins. But if the interest stays high and prices drop, the bank wins. I mean the NA mms wins in both scenarios unless the owner lets the buyer work a deal between the two.
Dream on - the opportunity was missed
People dont understand the recent run up in prices is more a function of inflation (more dollars to buy the same goods) than a function of demand/supply. Its a nominal vs a real price increase.
My dad is a mom&pop investor. He bought a two bedroom condo for $50000 and a 3 bedroom/1 bathroom for $200000 in the 90's in the San Francisco Bay Area. He also owns his own home free and clear. He's got lots of equity in his homes plus he's paid them paid off. He will not sell the homes until the prices get close to what he bought them for. He's got long term tenants because he doesn't increase the rent often, only if the taxes go up. The tenants know they are getting a great deal on their rent. Unlike an corporate investor, his homes are a safe and good investment.
yes its the guys jacking up rents and prices
Just wait until this fall when more people begin to lose their jobs and the biggest stock market crash, we have ever seen happens. He and many other SLAVE MASTERS will lose access to their rental slaves because most people will be jobless by the end of the year.
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.
consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.

When ‘Carol Vivian Constable’ is trading, there's no nonsense and no excuses. She wins the trade and you win. Take the loss, I promise she'll take one with you.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
So that house is NOT an indication of Blackstone "dumping" houses.
Home Partners of America is a rent to own company, a potential buyer can use them to buy the home cash, rent it for up to five years and they have the option to buy it. If they move out early, HPA will sell the house.
Yes, they might be selling it "at a loss", but remember they collected years of rent. I'd guess this one is a "wash" for them.
But to be clear, HPA is not the entity Blackstone uses to hold long term rentals.
Sure but the insurance on it skyrocketed. The novel business plan the HPA was trying out doesn't seem to work. What does Blackstone do with a failed business they just acquired?

Thanks Nick for the updates.we have our house just paid off couple of years ago.Nowadays,buying a house, before jumping to that big and high risk decision.needs to be careful,slow down, weigh the pros and cons, wait and see, because we are still in high inflation..
Home Partners does not put any money towards your down payment for a house. We just got out of ours after not being able to find a property in 2021.
Investor/second homes/etc in Vegas are almost at 40%. People keep buying, thinking the money and profit is there. When ( not if ) it collapses, it'll be the #1 bloodbath in the nation, just like in 2008.
And that wasn't even bad because they didn't allow it to truly correct, they cut rates and printed money. Where we are now is just an extension of that, and in all likelihood they will do the same thing again.
Vegas is a unique market where almost 80% of buildable land in the county is owned by the federal government. Not comparable to these other markets that have unlimited space to build
@@lewlew5660 Except that there are over 100,000 vacant homes in the county as well. B&Bs, Investments held off-market, 2nd or 3rd homes sitting there, and more. It has one of the highest percentages of non-resident homes in the nation, and you can hardly drive three blocks without seeing a piece of vacant land. There's plenty of homes, or will be once the panic sets in. Us locals? Seen it before. Got our popcorn ready.
Very familiar with the market. Population growth is much higher now than it was in 2008. Everybody is being priced out of California and need somewhere to move. Over 170,000 people have moved to clark county from California since 2021. Not comparable at all to 2008 much different market now in terms of supply and demand.
@@lewlew5660 They built a TON of homes, too, so that 110K vacant homes is at current population. Migration is also slowing down (net outflow is rapidly approaching net zero growth - maybe 1-2 years at this rate) a lot as everyone is choosing Arizona and Texas as they are dropping in price, while speculators are creating a bubble here. My own parents looked at Vegas and decided that they would simply more to Illinois. $385K and the house is perfect, 2500sq ft, and on a half acre. In Peoria in an upper-class area, so not some tiny shoebox of a town, either. My other relatives all moved to Tucson as it was cheaper than Vegas by far. (about 150K cheaper now than Vegas).
Living in Vegas currently, and I assure you, they are working on the inventory. There are planned neighborhoods going up all over at all corners of the city. That said, there is for sure some amount of market manipulation going on with a degree of collusion between the Adelson owned Las Vegas Review Journal and the real-estate people.
Great point. I just moved to a new apartment by the Palms and Rio hotel
We just saw a comparable in our hood listed for 749K. Zillow lists our similar home a block away for 5.5K. Crazy!
Looks like tons of properties are listed for sale in the DFW area as well, but the prices are still ridiculously high causing them to sit for much longer.
Seems like homeowner insurance trends should play a major role. Not just the latest increases, but also what's reasonably to come.
