Three months ago newly listed condos for sale would be lucky to get 2-3 showings their first week.
Today we got ten showing requests within 3 Hours of a unit going on the market.
It's unbelievable how quickly the market can change
Is the housing market resilient to rising rates? Context matters and each rising-rate era is different. Even if rising rates persist in 2021, the context is good for the housing market. https://blog.firstam.com/economics/why-the-housing-market-can-thrive-if-a-new-rising-rate-era-begins

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Note her frustration when she exclaims “people still debate whether there’s a double dip in housing!”
Of course, we all know San Diego is immune. Or so we’ve been told.
Wow, mainstream is starting to listen.
I agree with everything Whitney stated.
“(R)otting assets on bank balance sheets…”
They are not on the balance sheets after the banks were allowed to avoid mark to market. That was the biggest kicking of the can the government did in this mess.
Hmm don’t know, once it becomes main stream then it is likely about over.
OK to take a somewhat modified Contrarian view,
I will agree that many sales were move forward into April by the Tax credit, and that will make the next few months slower than they would have been,
But I would also think that the market will start to return after a few months, unless the state is not bailed out and they start laying off teachers, Police Firemen etc…
If the State does not receive a bail out before the end of summer, all bets are off, and buckle up.
Bobo,
Buckle up.
Gawd, she’s hot! 😉
Bobo,
If the Feds bail out the state, it’s game, set & match — we’re Greece. Do you prefer a bankrupt state or a bankrupt country?
Well, the states cannot run deficits–and the fed gov can. As long as the fed’s printing presses are going, the fed won’t go bk. Fed deficits in the short term are not the same issue as long-term deficits.
But there’s no reason to believe that WA is riding to the states’ aid. The states will cut programs and hours/lay off workers/increase fees. Buckle up, indeed.
What’s funny is that so many people think that the recession is behind us.
IIRC, tj and I were talking about the govt-led portion of the downturn many years ago on the HBB. (cheers, tj!). 😉
BTW, it’s not a matter of *if* we’ll see a govt-led downturn, but when. State workers are already being notified about actual pay cuts (as opposed to furloughs) and workers across the state (state and local) are going to be contributing much more to their retirements (in addition to pay cuts). This could result in a 10-25% effective cut in pay/benefits (possibly more in some cases), and we’ll probably see a potential 33% cut in retirement benefits.
Hunker down…
