Congrats, Javier! I’m in the process of buying a house now. Got my appraisal and inspections back today and the house appraised 10k over my offer 💃🏻 I’m so relieved and happy to be one step closer to homeownership
We closed yesterday on a house, too! Our first house, at that! Was a whirlwind but we hit the ground running and were only looking for 3 weeks in the Fontana area of inland empire los angeles. Submitted 4 offers and only one landed because of a 21 day escrow offer and appraisal waiver. Congrats!
Congratulations!! Wishing you and your family the least amount of stress as possible when it comes to moving. We’ve been looking since June. Had an accepted offer (#3) right before Christmas, did inspection within a week and while waiting to get the contract to sign, the seller got a higher cash offer. They gave us a deadline to sign the contract which was just an excuse to pull out and they did. Now we have another accepted offer (#4) doing inspection tomorrow. Hoping everything really works out this time even if we become a little house poor it opens up so many doors for us.
We bought a house too just yesterday..... got our offer accepted anyhow. Now just due diligence and everything else down the line. First time buyer. If you are trying and getting your butt kicked.... have hope; you will eventually get a place. Be patient, you will eventually get one of your offers accepted and opportunities come in strange ways. Been looking for over 2 years now for a place, but thankfully our reator got a private sale for us and the homeowner gave us a chance before listing on the open market. I can understand the stress you have gone through Javier and a taste of the stress that is to come. Thank you for your videos Javier, I will keep watching despite getting a place (hopefully nothing falls through... I like the house a lot) You are one of my two favorite real estate youtubers because you are so down to earth and honest. I appreciate that! Its always nice to keep on top of real estate changes for future down the line. Saved like crazy for 5 YEARS... been getting our butt kicked by all cash offers left and right and the cost of housing has been going up year over year 14% since 2017 ish and 33% just last year. ITS NUTS here in Utah... word to the wise: Utah is over full and we don't have enough water to keep building.... literally water is now causing developments to stop being built so we don't run out of water. Like we didn't have enough problems here with housing and california's Tech sector moving in. In Utah; cash offers trumps dave ramsey savings/financial responsibility and therefore gets the house almost every stinking time. In what looney toon world does a person have 20% saved.... darn near perfect credit score.... and earn well enough to afford to live in a place.... and still not get a place to live... apparently here in Utah that be so.
Congratulations...I also bought a beautiful vacation house and it appraised 10k over offer. This was last year when the interest rates were historically low. So whatever happens to the market we don't absolutely care, we are looking at this long term.
Hi Javier I have a similar situation. I am under contract selling my homeand purchasing a new home with the proceeds. The sale of my home was contingent on me finding a home after 4 months of waiting for me I found one. We are going to be closing on my house in one week and then three days after I’ll be purchasing my new home. I’m nervous because it means for three days I will not own my house and if something happens to the sale of the home I’m purchasing I’ll be homeless. I can relate to what you’re saying it’s very nerve racking.
Congrats sir, had something similar except I had to get my house rent ready, get a lease and pay $2500 for a rushed appraisal to verify the home had enough equity for the financing I wanted on the new house. What a whirlwind!
Congratulations man! Happy for you. We are actively looking for a home to purchase as well and have a real estate agent and were recently preapproved. Thankfully, I learned a ton about the homebuying process from your videos so thank you. Also, pretty cool. Saw that my friend Jesse Rieser - a fellow photographer - photographed you for that article in Businessweek. Nice.
Congratulations! I can see how selling while trying to search and buy would be more complicated and quite stressful. Thank you for responding to my message. I was concerned that you had set your YT career aside. I will continue to support you and two others.
That is true at the end, if you the market crash, you need to be happy with your home. You are lucky in your market they were able to wait. Here is Salt Lake City there is no way they will wait that long and people has non-refundable earnest money and the house stays in the market for an average of 5 days, most of the time it is only for a weekend. It is crazy and congrats. Thanks for sharing that the process could be overwhelming even for an expert like you, at least it shows others that they are not alone on the journey to get a house and even the best struggles for it =)
Congrats!! Hope this situation happens for us too- found a dream house that someone swooped in and bought, can only hope it falls through and we can offer again. I found it interesting that you said the interest rates are high right now, is that just in Arizona? From what I'm seeing around 4% is not too bad.
Do you have a video of how to sell a home? If not, I think it would be an interesting perspective of home buying that many are less comfortable with than buying a home
I have been following Javier and Kyle's channels for over a year. There are several factors that go into determining your interest rate. Mortgage rates change everyday. The sooner you reach out to a lender or mortgage broker, the better. A professional can increase your chances of a better interest rate. Good luck!
Congratulations on the new house. We’re about to have our new build; they’re painting and texturing currently. Back in TX, we had to pack, sell our house, find a place to live, and move across the country in a month’s time. We’re currently in a townhome 800sqft less than our TX house and bursting at the seams. The new place is a lot more expensive (WA state) than our old house but we’re very excited for this new chapter.
Congrats on getting closer to your new house. I just recently got a house as well. Still in shock right now but excited at the same time. Crazy times!!
Congratulations! I just closed on my home. The process was much less daunting because I knew what to expect. Javi is correct. Once rolling, it is a whirlwind!
Congratulations on the new home! Its interesting seeing a realtor go through the same things us regular buyers are going through being at the mercy of the seller. Glad it worked out for you!
Hey Javier. we just bought a house in january and I just want to say thank you. With all the information you've provided me i went into the closing process like an F-ing BOSS and this was a 3 year process. been watching you the past year and a half and without your knowledge, this wouldnt have been possible. I absolutely love my house and we ended up paying alot less in both closing and our mortgage. God Bless you man!!!
Big congrats!!! Since you’ve been gone I’ve been able to go under contract on my first house in Atlanta with my wife, largely due to how helpful all of your videos have been. I think it’s the little things that got us the house. We did a letter, appraisal gap, had lender call, and gave one month temp occupancy.
A real estate agent buys at the top of the market LMAO FOMO Wait until rates hit 6 % and foreclosures hit the market as people can barely afford cost of living. Homeowners insurance everywhere is going way high due to inflation and disasters (wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc Buuuut he is youtuber and makes real good money so he will be fine either way, but others not so much.
Lol I loved the ending 😂 Congratulations on getting your house, it’s well deserved! I hope the moving process is less stressful than the selling and buying journey you had!
So your a sellout? lol aren't we all. I looked in Colorado Denver metro area for 2 weeks every day, lost 3 bids. They were going for 100k over asking. I am closing on a house too in 2 weeks. I gave the seller 4 hours to decide. 45k over asking, appraisal gap, inspection waver, 20k earnest (3x as much as they were asking), 0 day stipulation, conventional loan. Now I am clear to close.
We had a cash buyer that gave us full asking price but wanted us out in like 2 weeks. They wanted us out by christmas time. We got them to extend us out till 3 weeks. We got out in a hurry and moved into our RV. We just signed a contract to build our new home the way we want it.
Congrats!!! Been watching your videos for about a year. FINALLY closed on my dream house after 8 months. Thanks for all the great info and guidance. Sending well wishes from Georgia!
Congrats. My crazy story of moving is pretty crazy too. Aug 2020 my condo in San Diego sold for 288. Double what I bought it for. So we bought a house sight unseen in Jacksonville fl for cash. Live there under 2 years and we wanted to move to st augustine fl. Listed home for 250 (paid 188). In 2 days we accepted an offer for 277! Market is crazy! Put offer on our dream home for 360, 10 grand over asking price contingent on sale of home and they accepted. Now I'm in my dream house in my dream area.
Congratulations Javier! Your advice has been so helpful to me. Appraisal came back today above list price and my closing date is at the end of this month!
Congratulations, my wife I purchased our first home new build home 3 weeks ago as well. The process was stressful towards the end because of supply shortage. The builder was able to complete our home and we were able to move in.
Heck yea brother! So happy for you and your family :) I can only imagine how much work/stress that was! Me and my wife just went into contract for a new build in CA, nice to see you've also made the move that you certainly needed!
Congrats 🎉 to your family ! I’m happy 😃 I’d U need it and can afford it perfect I’m holding on 2024 is the longest I can wait I’ll be 38 turning 38 that autumn and want to have a chance to start a family and if I have a home for my kids… I have no partner etc but my money is right credit is right no debt. Private office for my business I run my main room a guest room I need 4 rooms I can settle for 3 but 4 is really what I need 5 is better due to space but I need my freedom here I am 35 ur 2024 after I file taxes I’ll have 4-6 years straight of tsxes and my income they usually only want 2 years I have no debt either ! Hag
People lie. They could rent it out. Guy bought my used car, gave a sob story about needing a car and really loving my car. Sold him for $500 less than list cause he was short on cash. Saw him flip it on fb marketplace the following week saying he was selling it because he needed a bigger car. Whatever.
Good for you Javier,I feel glad you got what you deserve, you helped me so much in your guidance for me to buy my dream and first house 🏠 a year and a half ago!,🙏blessings for you and your family!
Congrats sir. I have a new home build in the works and should be done by EoY. Plenty of space for me and I get an office and a big enough garage for my toys.
Congrats, Javier! I’m in the process of buying a house now. Got my appraisal and inspections back today and the house appraised 10k over my offer 💃🏻 I’m so relieved and happy to be one step closer to homeownership
What is your rate.??? And what state.??

Wow! Congrats 👏
May I ask did you pay over asking price?
@@amprg a bit over, not astronomical though.
Congratulations!! Wishing you and your family the least amount of stress as possible when it comes to moving.

I brought my new home last week, hope everything goes smoothly. 🙏🏡
Congratulations brother! Hope the move goes smoothly.
Congrats. I love that your dream house came back on the market. It was meant to be.
Congratulations Javier!!
This made me so happy for your guys! I am also glad you are able to sell to a family versus a corporation.
Congratulations! 🎉

Congrats bro!!!
Congrats to you, your wife, and family. May Jesus Christ continue to bless and keep you all. 👍🏽💯👊🏽🇯🇲😁😁

Congrats! Working on one ourselves. You’re videos have been very helpful. We keep getting outbid on our offers. Any advise to stand out?
Congrats! I bought a month ago and it was super stressful because of how "aggressive" the market is at this moment.
Congratulations 🎉 Thank you for sharing your journey and giving your advice. I look forward to future videos.
Congrats it's a tough market. Happy for you my friend.
Congrats! How soon do you recommend to get your house ready for sale? If you’re going to buy another house in another city?
I feel sorry for all you suckers buying at the peak of the market. The concept is simple, buy low and sell high (no emotions involved).
Congrats Javier!! Can't wait to see your new dream home video tour!
Congrats sir, had something similar except I had to get my house rent ready, get a lease and pay $2500 for a rushed appraisal to verify the home had enough equity for the financing I wanted on the new house. What a whirlwind!

Aww. Congratulations ❤️
“585 cash” …I got chills, so happy for you!!!!
Congrats Javier, love hearing your perspective.
That is true at the end, if you the market crash, you need to be happy with your home. You are lucky in your market they were able to wait.

Congratulations 🎉
Congrats! We just bought our first home by getting a second chance too. It felt really lucky how it happened 😁
Congrats!! Hope this situation happens for us too- found a dream house that someone swooped in and bought, can only hope it falls through and we can offer again. I found it interesting that you said the interest rates are high right now, is that just in Arizona? From what I'm seeing around 4% is not too bad.
This is so cool! Congratulations!
Do you have a video of how to sell a home? If not, I think it would be an interesting perspective of home buying that many are less comfortable with than buying a home
Congratulations man you inspire us all
Congrats man! Low key I’m wishing i was In your spot lol. But in due time Ike be able to get our first home.
Translation Residue stress = residual stess
Anyway congrats, great video
List price isn’t a good offer?
Residue stress. 😆
That’s good
I’m going to use that
These cash buyers blow.
Javier, do you sell/buy in Arizona?
wow cash buyer ain’t playing no games in this market
Can you make a video on how the situation in Russia could potentially affect the housing market?
Not to be nosey but can you give us a range for your interest rate or maybe what to know if the interest rate works for now and later??
I have been following Javier and Kyle's channels for over a year. There are several factors that go into determining your interest rate. Mortgage rates change everyday. The sooner you reach out to a lender or mortgage broker, the better. A professional can increase your chances of a better interest rate. Good luck!
@@jenniferlego4221 thank you!!!
Investors always win lol.
They’re investors you don’t pay cash for a live in home in Arizona hahaha 🤣
Buying a house is such an effing nightmare
I’m so happy for you! ❤️
Congratulations!

Keep up the good work.. you are doing great buddy...

If you need the house then go for it. It’s their choice at the end of the day 🤷🏽♂️
Congratulations, my wife I purchased our first home new build home 3 weeks ago as well. The process was stressful towards the end because of supply shortage.
The builder was able to complete our home and we were able to move in.
Congratulations on buying your house! Please make a video about if single people should buy home, condo, or townhome?
Congratulations!! Give us a tour of your new house. 🙌
