Housing affordability crisis: Home sellers turn to concessions

#housingmarket #homeselling #yahoofinance #inflation
As mortgage rates continue to climb and shelter inflation uncertainties persist, many homebuyers are retreating from the housing market. With affordability challenges mounting, homebuyers are grappling with the harsh realities of diminished purchasing power and escalating costs associated with homeownership. In response to this unstable market environment, home sellers are turning to concessions as a strategic measure to attract buyers and facilitate transactions. Yahoo Finance's Rebecca Chen breaks down the details, explaining how the need to offer concession marks a "changing tide" in the market.

    Main stream media needs to het their head outta thier butts and realize its not about rates. Ita the prices. Higher prices mean paying way more in property taxes not only thay insurance goes up crazy because now theres a higher "valued" property we have to insure for. Ever think of how expensive things are? Well consider HOAs increasing. Why? They have to pay the laborers livible wages to provide for thier families as well since housing is so inflated just to even rent.

    It’s already happening in some areas. This isn’t some type of localized problem either (large manufacturing plant closing and people losing jobs) this is an affordability/suoply issue. Which is probably the WORST issue you could have. It causes everything to seize up and in the end, lots of businesses fail. It’s not exactly an ideal scenario for anyone.

    I got lucky when I was able to buy a single family house in San Jose in 2019 before prices went crazy. The Bay Area will not go down as long as inventory stays low, companies want you back at the office, and the great weather here is one of the best in the world.

    Allowing someone to pay for something over a 30 year period with a fixed interest rate pretty much guarantees that prices will be higher for that product.

    If prices of the homes were lower I literally wouldn't care if the interest rate was 15%. What is wrong with the media pushing this mortgage rate narrative. Rate cuts means investors will inflate the market again

    Every generation since WW2 has seen similar prices increases, and interest rates are only high compared to the interest rate SS and savers giveaway of the post great recession era. The only big difference is that Corporations taken over the "affordable homes for rentals" instead of single investors which has taken a lot more of affordable housing off the market for families. Oh and Airb&b as well...

    More puff pieces making it seem there’s some turnaround. All I hear is people can’t qualify for a loan. Period. They shouldn’t be buying. But normies will be normies and normies always make bad decisions. This is a sign of a terrible market.
