Should You Buy A House in 2023

I am terrified right now with the NEW HOUSING being built. Especially here in Charlotte North Carolina. They don’t look durable! I’m not confident in the materials these houses are made of. Also, there are HOA’s included and I don’t care for HOA’s!

Yes, it is true on the new development incentives from what I've been offered at least. It seems ironic that a new home is the better deal, but it's not a bad thing.

I have watched 3 of your videos one after the other and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I was wondering if you could layout the landscape for diabled first -time home buyers.
Thank you.

FL is NOT more affordable! I moved from Pensacola to Tampa, & it's stupid expensive for a single middle class person to get a decent home, they start at $285k!
I was born and raised in MI, you can get a pristine large home with acreage for under $200k there!

This is very helpful. Thank you always!

🤔😂Realtors are the minions that drive the prices up up up,

when they stop getting paid...they’ll drive the prices down down down...trust me.

Deffinately not a time to buy unless you have inough money to lose it.
What you’re and most of others not noticing, intentionally or otherwise is that this time is exceptionally different.
Debt ceiling time bonb.
We just added how many? Four trillion to existing 32.
That’s why we have this unprecedented prices in realestate and stock market.
Living on borrowed time and money.
Eventually the can wiil become to heavy to kick.
When that happens bond market will crash and take down both , realestate and stock market.
And the whole hell will break loose.
There will be some many houses on the market, but only fiewer buyers.
When ? It’s hard to predict but moving in that direction.

I'm set to close in August. Selling my first home. Found a new build sitting on an acre in SC in the country. Price is 305,000 and I'm putting down 95,000. Super nervous about a higher interest rate but praying for declining interest rates to refinance in the future.

Thanks again for this information. Every video I see of yours, I get valuable information. This very in-depth, I really appreciate you doing this

Great content - thank you for the overview!

NO MAAM STILL LOOKING ALL HOME HERE IN OHIO LOOKS BAD UNTIL 65,000 I KEEP TRUSTING LORD HE GOT MINES SOMEWHERE OUT HERE

Really, really good stuff!

Thanks a million Shaheeda. Your info is always right on

Wow you have a real calming effect

Would it be wise pay off my car before buying?

I use to watch your videos all year last year as my wife and I got married in the Bahamas then purchase our house in 2022. Thank you!

I'm staying put with my 2016 price and 3% mortgage... Here in the northeast the prices are still climbing!!

FL isn't affordable at all... such a shame that Floridians are being pushed out by those that are not from here and the rising rates.

I’m in Charlotte NC and now thanks to everyone moving here, it is NO LONGER AFFORDABLE. So please stop moving here. Thanks😆

52 and hopito close on a home in Atlanta suburbs before July..first home for me and hoping to have 6+ months Emer fund...if these rates drop a little by then i can do it

I make real estate and travel videos in the Japanese market and it's a great country to buy. I just bought my 10th house. So it all depends on where you live.

Great content! Keep doing the good work!

Just buy land its worth more then homes

I wanted to buy a home this year, but being so priced out of the market, a tiny house ain't looking so bad. 😢

Hell no! Unless u are a successful business owner, doctor or lawyer .. The rest of us is out of luck

My leasing company and their astronomical rent increases bullied me into homeownership. If all goes well, I’ll be closing on the 12th of May. 🙏🏽

This was very helpful. Do you have a video about what we should be looking for in a realtor/broker?

We’re under contract and this stuff just makes me go “Did we make the right choice here?” and at the end of the day, I don’t know what home prices and rates will be in a year. In a year, for all I know, our apartment rent could skyrocket. There’s no way to predict things so when we found something that could work for us, we sprung on it. Too hard to try to time the market perfectly. Our new house (assuming things keep going smoothly) will be $380k for 2440 sq ft in Florida. We might not close until June-August though so I’m hoping rates may go down a bit. We’ve put down 5% as our EMD and are gonna have to play with things to see if we need to keep putting down more of a down payment, or potentially buy the rate down. Either way, it sounds better than the anxiety of waiting around to see what happens with the market, housing inventory, etc.

You're a good person. 😊

Iam a 65 year old widow I am retired and is it to late for me to buy a house

Alternative housing and financing is needed. Conventional construction, conventional housing, conventional financing and conventional renting is failing and leaving people homeless, working homeless where you have a job but don't have the cash or credit status to secure financing shelter. This is ridiculous and doesn't have to be like this. Shelter shouldn't be such a struggle to secure. Mortgage doesn't mean one truly owns a home, and once your job is gone or reduced or can't refi with tampered credit score, or home insurance spikes, how will one pay mortgage? This conventional system isn't working.

What's your opinion on buying in the Lithia Springs area? I know Douglasville is a growing area but wanted to know more about Lithia Springs and home pricing.

It’s absolutely garbage in MN.. 😢

I closed in January with a 4.99%. New construction with seller paying closing cost.

Sis I'm looking to buy ahouse for the same reason. I'm glad it worked out for you

I took the chance and bought a home this year. It has been costly but, I wake up thankful every day.

We bought our first home a month ago and I'm glad the process is over!

When a house is vacant, but as you look up that house. It says “OFF MARKET”… What does that actually mean to someone that’s actually interested in that property????

Anyone should buy a house any year anytime point blank period why pay money that’s not buying the property u at ? So yes buy a house

Iam single and iam closing on my home May 25 on a new built iam so excited

I feel like its impossible to buy a house now if u make less than 50k and single uggh

i moved to a cheaper affordable town within 1 hour commute

You are AMAZING! I am a realtor with COMPASS in NJ and I learn so much from you! Thank You, Shaheedah!

I had my house on the market for 8 months, I drop the price 3 times still didn’t sell, I decide to rent it out last month. The rent is crazy out here, I set my rent very low cause I want people to be able to afford it and still take care of their kids and live life. If I had more houses I would do the same thing people think I’m crazy but I know the struggle

I regret not buying in 2020, 2021 and 2022. My son and daughter need their own rooms, having an internal debate on buying in 2023 or 2024.

Low inventory, high rates, increased house prices, and banks increased requirements for FICO and down payment, are making it difficult to purchase a house. It's better to rent and invest the hostage money (extra money your forced to come up with) into other financial vehicles like stocks and bonds, until the market comes back down; which might be in 2-4 years.
