    And will continue to fall I’m afraid. There’s just way too many new builds flooding the market with many more to come. And being that inflation is still not under control, we can conclude that borrowing costs can either remain or quite possibly even increase. Very happy to see that you’re one of the few realtors on YT not spreading false info

    The migration from California, New York, etc. to Texas is over. The migration is what drove prices up.

    I don’t think the migration is fully over but I don’t think it will be as extreme as it was in 2021-2022 due to states like Arizona and Florida also becoming way more popular due to having better weather than Texas generally.

    As a shopper looking to move to NB I see these preCovid home values vs today's asking prices and (to me) it looks like most of the homes are trying to recoupe their over asking g price purchases and pass that off to the next "buyer". When a property tax assessment lists the property at 429k and the seller is asking 850k when the markets at 8% loan rates there's some serious delusion going on in the area and you Realtors need to stop listing at copium/hopium prices. When a buyer bought at 340k in 2019 with a 2.25 rate why do they think there are now buyers shopping the same property at 615k with a 7.825 rate?

    You got me going now lol. Alright, assesses value is far different than market value. Assessed is AfTER exemptions. That becomes your new taxable value. And yes I’ve had transparent conversations will families who want to sell and the comps don’t support a sale. If they still insist on selling, I walk away because I don’t want to be part of any sale that harms their house when it sits on the market a long time. The market is correcting itself. The rush to get here created lots of demand and much higher prices, and the sirs been coming out of the balloon for almost two years. The correction is happening naturally.

    @@raadalawanrealtor yup. I agree the correction is coming. And I've looked at a lot of listing to get an idea of what is actually moving vs what some agents are "enabling" their seller to ask for. And I see it at 665, and I'm like that won't sell over 525. And then 119 days later it finally sells 2 days after listing is reduced to 540. I'm not saying you are doing it, but there are a LOT of listings with other agents that are doing it. And that kind of advertised price dropping month over month because sellers don't understand was the first thing made me actually slow down and get a feel for the values going on. If they had just listed and sold in 30 at pre overpaid market value and then try to tax on that over zealous error i probably would have bought in February. But seeing month over month drops now has me watching it like a trend line on a stock. I'm not saying assessments = sale price, but when an assessment is 529 on a first build, then goes up less than 10%(so not even hitting a homestead rate cut off) on an inflated market year, and then it's listed at 950k. Come on.... I love your content, so keep up the good work.

    5:37 I see lots of people in my neighborhood who have decided to rent their house because they needed to move quickly.. although it may be risky they may not have a choice if they are upside down 5:57 that July 21 contract date kinda hurts... Mine was March 21 and that was right before prices shot up.. 3-4 months before that and that family would have an easier time getting the price they need to payoff the loan

    Weirdly enough, over the last week I’ve seen many examples of new homes with price increases. I get a withering assault of daily emails from Zillow that show trends, and a lot of home prices have been edging up, even though they’ve been sitting on the market for long periods of time. What is up with that?

    they're not new construction b/c those homes decrease when they're finished just sitting there. Re sale? Sellers decision. What's on the market doesn't count. What's sold counts.
