So everyday there are more and more articles published by various Real Estate related organizations, groups, journalists, etc. that are providing their take or opinion regarding the future of the Housing Market and the potential of a Housing Correction or Housing Crash. This video reviews a recent article from RedFin who "ranked" various US Metro locations as to their susceptibility of a downturn in a Recession. The list is focused on Metros that had a spike in Home Price Appreciation over the past couple years, suggesting that those locations should be watched closely.

Will the FED's recent increase in rates have affects on future Mortgage Rates? At this point it is anyone's guess, however the FED is committed to bringing Inflation down to a manageable number, even at the expense of the US Housing Market. Remember, the did say that the are going to "reset" the Housing Market. Feel free to interpret that any way you like.

Big increase in Foreclosure Starts. Mortgage Rates Still Climbing. More Housing Inventory. Price Reductions Rampant. Home Builders Sucking Wind Now. All of this contributes to a Perfect Storm for the US Housing Market.

It would be rather foolish to think that the largest Landlord in the World would have their head in the sand and let another great acquisition opportunity pass them by. Blackstone is expected to raise $ 50 Billion in order to fully participate in the US Housing market when the downturn hits. Need we say more? They already participate in many aspects of the Global Real Estate market and it looks like they have all hands on deck for the next crash/crisis. You can't say you weren't warned.

Recent Foreclosure statistics have shown us that Foreclosure Filings are now tracking at a volume level that compares to the Pre-Pandemic volume. Based on the first 6 months of 2022, Foreclosure filings should come in some where in between 2018 and 2019 levels. However, if what we hear behind the scenes in true, then the volume should grow even greater as time goes on. The question we have to pose to the Mainstream media is: "Why are homeowners not selling their homes to stop their Foreclosure, considering that they have all this Equity at their disposal"? Yes, inquiring minds really want to know the answer to this question.

Once again we have evidence that the overall Housing Market is cratering: Sales and Contracts getting cancelled by potential Buyers at record rates. Some sales are cancelled due to the recent increase in mortgage rates, which may leave many Buyers unable to afford the property they had hoped to purchase. Other Buyers are now aware that they could have more room to negotiate a better price, now that there is far more inventory on market and Sellers also are forced to reduce their price points and compete. It's not one item that causes a Housing Crash, it is a number of items and issues that when compounded create the chaos in the Housing Market.

Let's get back down to Housing Fundamentals. Housing Purists will readily tell us that the Housing Market is not going to correct or crash because the Housing Fundamentals do not support that theory. Well, I guess it depends on who you talk to about Housing Fundamentals. In this video we review the current Housing Fundamentals and prove that a Housing Correction or Crash has already been baked in by the actions of the FED and others.

It was only a matter of time until the Rental issues would rear their ugly heads. The high cost of goods and services, like gas and food products, among many other items, is now effecting every person one way or another. Households that have a limited of fixed income will spend their funds on food, utilities and transportation before they pay for Housing costs. This, once again, puts many landlords in predicaments of trying to figure out what to do as most are still trying to recover from their losses due to the previous Moratorium on Evictions. Once again the small "Ma & Pa" landlords face financial hardship.

It is not one thing that leads to a Housing Crash, it is multiple items that simultaneously contribute to the overall stress in the Housing Market and turn the tides towards a Housing Correction or Housing Crash. The list i reviewed is extensive. There will be those who are quick to say that "This time will be different". Their arguments can easily be disputed with legitimate facts and actual phenomenon taking place in the US Housing Market.
