🏑 "Navigating the Housing Market πŸ“ˆπŸ“‰: Trends & Insights for Aug 2023" 🏠
πŸ‘πŸ“ˆπŸ“‰ Greetings, friends and Family! πŸ‘πŸ“ˆπŸ“‰

Welcome to my Aug 2023 newsletter and video update! As always, we are thrilled to reconnect with our valued past clients and share the latest happenings in the ever-dynamic housing market. Whether you're a homeowner, a prospective buyer, or simply curious about the current real estate landscape, we've covered you with essential insights to help you make informed decisions.

In this edition, we'll dive deep into the trends shaping the housing market this month. From inventory levels and mortgage rates to home prices and housing demand, we'll break down the key factors influencing the industry. Additionally, we'll touch upon important housing policy and regulatory changes that might impact your real estate journey.

Here is what you need to know:

Housing Inventory Levels: Currently, inventory is holding steady. The number of days houses are sitting on the market is rising to an average of 41, while longer in some areas. If the houses are priced slightly lower, they will sell faster. Greater Nashville had 2752 sales in June, with 6,656 houses in inventory. Housing sales over the entire state of TN are down 20% year over year.

Mortgage Rates: Currently, rates range from mid 6's on government loans to mid 7's on conventional loans. Rates are trending upward still.

Home Prices: Middle TN median sold price is currently $475,000, with prices trending up 4.5% since June 2022. Prices are trending to flatten out.

Housing Demand: With the number of jobs, we are still in strong demand. Jobs are plentiful, and people are still relocating to the area. They are still calling this a seller's market!

Housing Policy and Regulations: Fed policy still raises interest rates to curve inflation. Most counties are discussing property tax rate hikes. Keep your ear to the ground for your county. Insurance companies are also having to raise renewal rates.

As always, if you know of anyone needing financing, please let me know!

Blessings,

What they are not telling you about mortgage rates in 2023
Here is what they are not telling you about the mortgage interest rates in 2023. Ever wonder why the rates are really so high and it doesn't make sense? Well, here it is in a nutshell. Investors who buy mortgages are afraid for you to refinance when the rates come back down. Therefore, they have to make as much money as they can in the short term.

What's up guys? So here we are mid-April 2023 and the market's really weird, right? So I just wanted to do a quick update and kind of educate you guys on some of the stuff that I'm learning. I call it a quick update, but it took me forever to put together this. PowerPoint presentation, uh, that I'm gonna, I'm gonna kind of breeze through and just hit you with some, some overviews on and I'm gonna hit you with my opinion.

So everything in here is strictly that it's my opinion. Uh, it's backed by factual data with sources and charts and graphs and all that kind of fun stuff. So, uh, if you know me, you know, I dork out on this kind of stuff, and if you dork out on this, you're probably gonna enjoy it. If you don't dork out on this kind of stuff, you may not enjoy it.

But, uh, you know, I'm talking to my friends across the country that are mortgage loan officers and, you know, applications are down right now. Nobody's really buying houses, and the interest rates are high and everybody's like, Hey, what's going on? Is now a good time to buy a house? Should I wait until rates come down?

Uh, what is the housing market gonna do? Are we in a bubble? Is it gonna crash? You know, these are questions that, um, you know, I talk about with my friends all the time. So here's some statistical factual data I'm gonna hit you guys with real quick. Let's, uh, now keep in mind, this is my personal insight, right?

This is not a, you know, nothing official. This is just me talking here. So, Let me hit you with my overview. Uh, overview is Q1 and Q2 of 2023 is just a really weird market, uh, as we're experiencing right now. 2023 will finish off strong. We're thinking that Q3 and Q4 is going to pick up and it's gonna be more in line with the numbers that we saw back in 2020.

And I mean numbers of people buying houses, house prices, and everything in that sort of, uh, that sort of. Interest rates will come down and, uh, these industry analysts are predicting, some people are saying as low as four and a half. Some people are saying as high as five and a half, but it's gonna be something within that range.

When will that happen? Not really quite sure. Uh, I'll talk a little bit more about that here in a minute. Housing demand is still really strong. Um, we've got some stats to prove that as well. We are having a massive shortage in inventory. People don't realize. Uh, we are still, I think, like seven months behind in inventory.

Uh, so it's, we're at inventory shortages that we haven't seen since the 1970s, believe it or not. Although rates are still high, people are slowing down, we're still having a shortage. Okay. Um, then, uh, the sl, uh, another part a point that I'm gonna make is the slightest shift in interest. Is going to lead us back to a buyer's frenzy, right?

We're gonna have people hit the market from all over the place it's gonna go, which is going to make things go back to a seller's market right? Now. Another thing you need to be aware of is millennials are about to start flooding the market, and then I'm gonna finish up with the specialist real estate professionals or somebody wanting to buy a house or somebody wanting to sell a house.

The question is, are you prepared for what's gonna. They're calling our, they're calling, they're saying that we're standing at the doorstep. Okay. We're, we're standing at the doorstep of a boom, like our industry has not seen in a long, long time. So the boom that is to come probably the beginning of next year, q1, q2, next year....

How another lender screwed up a VA loan and I was able to save the deal

Although the other lender had been doing loans for over 30 years, he clearly didn't understand VA loans. Veterans, please make sure you are working with a lender who understands VA loans!
