 Days on Market Matters More Than Sellers Realize

Look, I get it. The Housing Market is frustratingly complex, with many moving and overlapping parts. However, MLS Listings that go beyond a reasonable or average days-on-market (denoted by DOM in Listings) before they should statistically be under contract are at risk of not selling at all. Buyers begin to see such MLS listings as stigmatized (as if something is wrong, such as curb appeal or condition).

I realize there are distressed sellers caught in an overpriced trap as a result of reckless bank/government manipulation of the currency, interest rates, and the economy, but regardless, once you cross the 180-day mark, it is usually not the Market that got it WRONG, but rather the SELLER. Basically, the Market is controlled by external inputs

Protect Your Home from Over-taxation, Vote NO on ALL Texas CAD/ISD Bond Debt Referendums

Dear Texas Homeowners,

By now, you’ve likely realized that you’ve tried it their way — year after year — complying with every new bond issue and debt scheme, only to see your property taxes skyrocket. For many Texans, the result has become unbearable, threatening their ability to even remain in their homes. It’s clear: you cannot comply your way out of the over-assessment policies and lack of accountability driving the current CAD/State tax system.

Since 2015, a growing number of Texans have recognized this aggressive, even coercive over-taxation. What many don’t yet realize, however, is that these excessive assessments are compounded by what can only be explained as non-compliance with statutory accounting requirements—the very standards meant

The Fed RATE PIVOT in 2024 Will Be a Turning Point for Housing Market

FED INTEREST RATE PIVOT ALERT! Real Estate News in the making! The Fed just shocked the market with its unexpected dovish announcement. In my opinion, the Fed had no choice; they either embraced lowering the Fed Funds Rate or caused widespread bank insolvency and business failures. There is a lot of pent-up housing demand waiting on the 2024 sidelines, and with six rate cuts planned next year, price inflation concerns will be hard to predict. Add in the Dollar's increased fall from the Reserve Currency and Petrodollar status, and even the supply chain becomes an area of concern.

In the late 70s, interest rates soared to nearly 21%; back then, the Reserve Currency status was not an issue, and the U.S. had a higher percentage of domestic

Easy Home Buy-out Services - Buyer Beware

You may have missed that the FTC just recently sued and ordered Opendoor to pay a $62 Million Dollar fine for deceiving consumers. For years I have been advising that the only way to ensure earning top dollar selling your property is to prepare your home, hire a Realtor®, and list it in MLS (See: The Real Cost of a Home Buy-Out Offer). Selling your home directly to the public, and avoiding difficult-to-understand middleman costs, is the only way to avoid potential equity-reducing financial disappointments, so "Caveat Emptor" when considering an easy way out of your home. 

Sellers would be advised to search and review the BBB and other online resources about buy-out companies before signing any contract with them. A complicated process nearly always

Will 2022 Be The Year The U.S. Housing Market Corrects?

Of course, I don't hold tomorrow's economic headlines in my hands, but on a historical basis, the U.S economy is long overdue for a correction, and who knows what this so-called RESET will do. Then the 2020 pandemic triggered a pronounced wave of extraordinary inflation and an unprecedented dislocation of the world's critical supply chains that still haunt our markets.

Huge government bailouts and emergency spending soon followed adding helicopter money to an economy whose factories were ordered to curtail operations and that triggered today's crisis of inflation caused by too much currency chasing too few goods. How come our so-called experts suddenly seem to be anything but experts?

Will Sentiment Change from Easy to a Tighter Money Supply?
