Welcome back to real investing. I’m Tim Herriage. Thank you for coming back by today. Abigail rights. Are we in a buyer’s market? Abigail? That’s a great question. It’s something that if you’re watching Facebook and the social media economist, I’ll tell you this. Sometimes it can feel like we’re in a buyer’s market, but my answers, no, I do not think we are in a buyer’s market. There are, there is no data that tells you that supply outweighs demand, right? That’s what a buyer’s market would be. You would have to have more supply than demand. I still feel like there is less supply than demand. Now, can you find a subset of a market? Like well, million dollar houses in Dallas, there are, you know, slowing down. Yeah, sure. Right. I’m sure. You know, the way I look at it and honestly is second homes, vacation homes, luxury homes, high end homes, discretionary homes, frankly, neighborhoods where people keep all their money in the stock market.
([01:15]):
Yeah. They’re probably slowing down because those people have lost 20, 30% of their money this year. Now we are coming out of a bear market technically as of yesterday with the NASDAQ 100. But I don’t know. I mean, I feel like when I look at the me median home price and I look at, uh, monthly reports on the dollars per square foot, it’s still going up. Right? I mean, so I don’t know how the median home price and the median price per square foot can be going up. And we’re in a buyer’s market. Y that would have to be the opposite, right? You would have to see true median or average prices going down. Now, can you buy a house, fix a house and sell it for 10% more than when you bought it probably died, uh, 10% more than it was worth when you bought it.
([02:06]):
Probably not. Can you run your math off of just the high comp and the high comp alone? Yeah, probably not. But that doesn’t mean we’re in a buyer’s market. I think we’re in a very healthy market. It’s slowed down a little bit. Now we have about two months worth of inventory instead of two days, when mind you four to six months is normal. Uh, yeah. I don’t know. We’re not in a buyer’s market. That’s the answer period plan is day, but Hey, you know, hot opinion, uh, listen to your friend on Facebook that has $5. That’s, you know, <laugh> now we’re not in a buyer’s market. It’s slowed down a little bit, but you still, you know, you got five, we’re missing 5 million houses, right? And every day the population in this nation goes up and we have less houses and food, water, shelter, people gotta have a place to live.
([02:51]):
So, uh, you know, we’re still way short on supply way high on demand. And that alone says we are not in a, a buyer’s market. So Abigail, thank you for taking the time to ride in.
