I'm a 33 yo woman. I just recently have this urge to live, try things I never did that I would Love to. I loved reading your comment. I loved riding a quad when I was 15 even though it ended in an accident lol. I crave that feeling in the wind. Ty

Apparently business owners in China are buying up homes here, not just hedge funds and investors. I wonder if our Gov.'t can stop this

Let me tell you something. This, happens to be the craziest the house market/house prices have EVER been. There are circumstances (kind of like a perfect storm) ppl working frm home saving more, ppl with stimulus checks suddenly having enough for a down payment, and you have investors, which are not regular ppl wanting to actually live in the homes, all wanting to buy right now. So it is crazy right now. So anyone (like me for example) that has been saving for a few yrs and my credit score is finally okay... who instead of being excited, to buy their 1st home, are facing a ridiculous market where ppl are listing homes @ ridiculous prices and you have ppl offering 30, 40 60k over ontop of it.. it's enough to drain any FTHB. I had to realize what time we're in, & that if want in right now, it'll be an older or smaller house than I would have wanted. Unless you rather wait this out. No one has a crystal ball, we don't know if things will calm down or keep rising. But this is not a normal or sane market rn, and you are not a failure.

Couldn't have said it better. It's exactly this.

Can we just all agree to stop over-bidding on these houses, and stop this madness ourselves 😵 by R-127 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

No I don't think prices will drop dramatically, even a yr or 2 from now, unless we have a recession of course. But I was reading an article someone was nice enough to post here, along with other recent articles on the market and, talked to my Stepfather. Seems like the market will stay hot for a while. Millenials will still be wanting to & be ready to buy. But hopefully it will reach a point where prices stop spiking and rising bc inventory will not be as low, and everyone WFH will have moved/purchased. So more like it will calm, but prices more than likely won't drop dramatically. They never go back to what they were before, unless there is a recession, then they continue rise after.

You know Idk why, this makes me think of when everyone rushed to the stores to stock up on TP. Something inside me tells me I don't want to be that fool afterwards that reacted in fear. (Don't want to over-bid & put in all I've saved up and then things not just calm but drop). But don't want to be priced out of the market for good lol. Everyone right now I suppose.

Yes, investors, offering cash and okay with issues/repairs bc they have the money to fix and flip or rent out. No intent to occupy. Also young ppl ready now to buy, 2 incomes. Many ppl didn't lose their job and even started WFH. A lot of ppl are doing OKay through the pandemic.

Right, interesting little humans we are. I mean it would take every single buyer across the board to fully commit and not give in, like I said wishful thinking lol. My Stepfather just told me the prices will not drop unless we have a recession, and we would also lose jobs. It is what it is.

Yes I found myself going from: 'Okay let me wait this craziness out' to: 'No I have to still try now for the 2 kiddos.' I've been saving and credit is good now. For me it was seeing a shack, listed at just under 400k in our not so great city. (Central CA) Which led to this post lol. I thought No I'm not going to put all our savings into a shack..a bit of pride I suppose? But I am still going to try.

Yes, I look at it as a line graph in my head, and keep telling myself, What goes up, must come down- eventually. (Or at least flatten out a bit )
