Is real estate going to crash?

Welcome back to the YouTube channel! In this video, we dive into a fascinating topic: why the housing market has not collapsed and why it's unlikely to collapse anytime soon. I apologize for my absence on this channel lately as I've been occupied with growing my corporate account on another platform. However, I've gained some valuable insights into the current housing market through my personal experience of selling two properties.

I recently received an offer on my Airbnb property in Las Vegas that was 17 percent lower than the asking price. Intrigued by this, I decided to dig deeper and discovered that the buyer was an investment company. These companies are purchasing hundreds of houses each month, often making offers significantly below the asking price without even analyzing the numbers. If the offer is accepted, they proceed with a cash purchase. If not, they move on to the next opportunity.

This trend got me thinking about the competition between individual buyers and corporations in the housing market. Previously, when purchasing a house, you'd mostly compete with other individuals. However, now corporations are actively acquiring single-family homes in residential areas, potentially driving down prices. As a homeowner, this means you can list your property slightly higher, accounting for the possibility of a corporate buyer.

Furthermore, the demand for housing, especially in places like Las Vegas, remains high due to factors like favorable weather and lifestyle. Despite the housing shortages observed across the country, strict regulations and complex processes involved in building new houses contribute to the limited inventory. As a result, first-time buyers face challenges with high interest rates, soaring prices, and low availability.

Join me as we explore the intricacies of the current housing market and analyze the dynamics between individual buyers and corporate investors. Let's understand why the housing market shows resilience and why selling or buying a house in the present market requires a strategic approach.
