In this episode of BiggerPockets, they dive headfirst into the tumultuous world of real estate amidst dropping mortgage rates and surging inventory. Dave Meyer, the maestro of real estate investing, dissects the current landscape in three riveting parts. First up, the thrilling saga of mortgage rates hitting rock bottom and inventory levels soaring, paving the way for a buyer's market. The delicate dance between supply and demand, as indicated by active listings and days on market, sets the stage for a market teetering on the edge of change.
The adrenaline rush continues as Meyer unravels the mystery behind rising inventory, attributing it to a surge in property listings rather than dwindling demand. New listings skyrocket by 13% year-over-year, injecting a dose of excitement into the market dynamics. Despite the frenzy, buyer demand remains steadfast, with mortgage applications on the rise, fueled by the allure of lower rates. Sales prices, a beacon of hope in the chaos, show a modest increase of 2.5-3.5% year-over-year, a glimmer of stability in an otherwise turbulent market.
As the plot thickens, the looming specter of tariffs and stock market upheavals casts a shadow over the real estate realm. Meyer delves into the psychological impact of stock market volatility on home buyer demand, a rollercoaster of emotions and uncertainties. The stage is set for a high-octane showdown between economic indicators and market forces, with inflation and buyer sentiment hanging in the balance. BiggerPockets leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next twist in the thrilling saga of real estate in the face of adversity.
