the "yes" case is that its still cheap for blackrock et al to keep buying en masse and fewer homes will be available because people either won't want to take on a higher rate on a new place or won't want to take a hit on the sale of their current one if they are recent buyers.

the "no" case is that a bunch of people rush to sell in the next year or two to lock in their gains which turns into a cascade. but then there's blackrock et al to buy it all up.

What’s the argument that black rock etc won’t buy it up in the no case?

This assumes a general healthy economy not a big overall crash. What does a big overall crash do? Still black rock ?

The argument for blackrock to buy fewer houses in the "no" scenario is that it's becoming a crappy long-term investment given relatively low population growth of the past two decades (and likely even lower growth going forward), boomers dying off in the next 10 years, and the residential building frenzy over the past 3 years finally producing enough supply.

Once the bulk of millennials are raising school aged kids this will change and is already starting. Big city school districts were all ready pure shit (arguably with the exception of NYC) and the pandemic made them considerably worse. It’s becoming a “move to the suburbs in your late 30s/for your second house” stage.

I'm of the firm belief that this is the last hurrah for housing. It's a bit of a contrarian take and it seems crazy given what appears to be a supply problem but the population growth and TFR trends seem pretty clear to me. Other countries that went through this saw real estate values plummet over time. We're headed toward a Japan and europe (continental) market. Adjusted for inflation their real estate has largely been a shitty investment.

I agree - birth rates tell a big story that isn't being told. America has less than replacement rate until you add immigration at which point it's barely over 2.0. I just don't see where all the future demand comes from. Europe is even more concerning with birth rates, I think every single country there has less than 2.0 birth rate.

It’s downstream from jobs and wages which is super hard to predict right now and schools which are reliably shitty and good ones are even more likely to be scarce. If tech rebounds and continues to pay well and wfh takes full root there’s a lot of housing upside left just in buying up boomers’ old houses that haven’t been updated in good school districts. Banks will lose money on the shitty houses no one wants but there will be real estate that continues appreciating and that the UMC still covets and pays top dollar to get.

sure at some point they stop buying, but given what inflation looks like they've decided that buying at any price and renting it out over 10 years is a great deal. rents are skyrocketing and building isn't happening nearly quick enough in high demand cities.

i guess the no case is that if price depreciation is rapid enough, people/blackrock withhold purchases in anticipation of further decreases. but again, blackrock is in it for the rents, not the equity (though that's certainly part of their calculation).

big investors like blackrock are just following the market, and not market drivers. I doubt investors/flippers make up more than 20% of the single-family home market and almost all of that 20% is mom-and-pop operations that would most definitely feel the pinch of higher rates.

I think they do for a little while just because there's so much demand still with little going on the market.

But there has never been more new inventory that's been built that's about to come on the market before.

home prices should go up.

boomers bought homes for 200k that went up to a million dollars in 20 years. they built all that equity and screwed the next generation.

millennials who bought for a million are therefore entitled to $5m homes in 20 years.

The only new houses being built in LA are teardowns. There's literally no more room for large scale new subdivisions due to planning regs.

But I want to cash out and leave the state before the long overdue great earthquake hits.

Rates are going up... Each 1% change in interest rates means an extra 40% in interest costs over 30 yrs.

Houses are being built at a breakneck pace, the most in 50 yrs.

https://twitter.com/BobOnMarkets/status/1494310471561793540/photo/1

Population is stagnant or increasing at slowest rate in US history.

Long term, this is not a good combination. Maybe these factors will just destroy ridiculous housing bubbles in SF, Seattle, LA, etc., and not bring prices down across the country, buy who knows.

Fair, but $300K borrowed @ 3% is $1250/mo, 4% is $1450 and 5% is $1600/mo. An extra $200/mo. might not sound like a lot, but a lot of buyers will get pwned by debt-to-income ratios and get priced out of the market, resulting in lower demand.

LA allows any homeowner to build an ADU on their property without any zoning. They also just passed something that lets you split the lot into two without a zoning change and put two houses plus 2 ADU on each lot. So you can change a single family home into a fourplex. I'm thinking about building an ADU on my MIL's property I rent to her.

All depends on locality. Some of the places with the highest demand are systemically low on housing so prices will remain high.

But flyovers who didn't sell when prices were 1.5-2x what they should be are really going to miss out.
