Buyer beware! If you're buying a used house in a neighborhood with new construction:

Builders are offering tens of thousands in incentives instead of reducing the sales price.

This is NOT reflected in the sold data.

So sellers of existing homes are pricing their houses according to the closed sales prices of the new house that just sold down the street. Neveemind that buyer could have received 20, 30, 40 thousand in seller concessions.

And appraisals that are meant to protect the buyer and the bank's interest are being skewed because the appraiser has no access to that data.

Aside from that, not reducing the sales price is keeping prices high, when in reality the prices are falling. The same builders who were making buyers BID on new construction a year ago are now offering crazy incentives in order to get their inventory off their books!

How to LOWER your interest rate!

10/16/2023

Days on market average is approaching two months. Inventory steadily continues to grow at a time when buyer demand is falling off a cliff. Loan buyers cannot afford these payments with rates hovering 9%- Yet people who are paying cash and just want a house in Florida will still be buying. The luxury properties on the water will be selling at a faster rate as we near the peak season. There are still plenty of very wealthy people who want a house here. Properties inland, however, will continue to collect dust as those sellers still think it's spring 2021.

Many home investors are TAPPED OUT due to inability to leverage expenses vs income. I predict a surge of inventory once these investors sell. Agree or disagree?
