Listings way up in Utah and Idaho

Yep. This is accurate.

DavisCoCoug

Many are still in denial.

It's just a gully;)

Shore10

I think people are accepting the higher prices and exploring side hustles.

Shore10

5/27/22 7:02am

Buyer demand nationwide is shrinking

byukarl

5/27/22 7:08am

Not sure listings are going to skyrocket. Who wants to trade a 2.7% rate for a 5.7%?

CrimWalCoug

5/27/22 7:30am

Jobs drying up and hiring freezes increasing across the board.

rad dawg

5/27/22 7:43am

There are some data points that indicate we may be past that stage already.

rad dawg

5/27/22 7:34am

The reality is very few people actually have “side hustles.” You’re spot on.

Wow. That's not good

Just wait till prices start falling. CB assured me it will just be a “leveling

Is it that or more people move during summer?

Skeeziks

5/27/22 7:07am

More people do move during the summer but there is definitely FOMO going on

BIG XII Coug

That's my guess. Kids are getting out of school.

Shore10

May is the traditional month for all the summer moves to hit the market

You aren’t getting the same price when interest rates have doubled. The market

“Odds of that happening are slim.” Actually odds of that happening are nil.

was that your own savvyness to offer that much lower or did a realtor suggest it

CrashMcLarson

5/27/22 8:33am

His own savvyness. A realtor wouldn’t suggest such a thing.

RdF3

5/27/22 8:41am

That was our own savvyness. Our realtor wanted to go $100k less but since we

Probably made a killing selling your Mapleton home though. Micromarket in that community.

I love it. Bring it on. Hope all the speculators get hammered.

Backcountry

5/27/22 9:40am

All I know is that 3 years ago my house appraised for $500k. The supposed value

OldFogey

5/27/22 2:07pm

I hear you. My house appreciated $600k during the 2.5 years that I lived there.

WDaddy

5/27/22 3:34pm

Everything I’ve seen on CB is that people expected this. The opinion of a pullback in the market

Pimpin4Paradise

5/27/22 7:38am

People are in denial even in this current thread.

BikeGuy

5/27/22 7:42am

Completely false. Go look at threads from last fall and into early this year.

Iman23

5/27/22 7:52am

Rates were raised. That's the cause

Hotlanta

5/27/22 7:57am

That’s the point. It was obvious the FED had to react to inflation by raising

The_Cuss

5/27/22 8:32am

The fed is trying to create a negative wealth effect. They are literally trying

Socrates Johnson

I knew the rates were going to change

JollyGreenGiant

5/27/22 10:35am

Are you serious? So many on here have said Utah market won’t fall or correct.

The_Cuss

5/27/22 8:33am

Prices are absolutely coming down. Everybody knows that. Monthly payments however (for the majority who finance) aren’t

RdF3

5/27/22 7:44am

In my area homes are already reducing their asking prices by $10,000 to $35,000

Lots of CB group thought is shaped by moderator bans on anyone that speaks up

jrifkin48

5/27/22 7:46am

It’s CBrs that think a bubble will burst

Idacoug

5/27/22 7:54am

Homes are still selling for 50-75K above listed price here in New England.

pilot17

5/27/22 8:00am

The outlier is the investors paying cash for homes.

BIG XII Coug

This is my big concern. Investors aren’t in it for the long haul, they’ll pull

Backcountry

5/27/22 10:30am

nope.. that's not correct.

byukarl

5/27/22 8:33am

We better hope there is a 10-20% correction.

rad dawg

5/27/22 8:49am

I never said it will rebound. Prices will drop but not dramatically like many

Idacoug

5/27/22 8:59am

depends on how far they jack up mortgage rates

166 price cuts yesterday in Utah, 14 price increases, been that way everyday for

cougar95

5/27/22 8:01am

Simple math. Increased interest rates decrease purchasing power.

Idacoug

5/27/22 8:18am

Demands depressed and will continue as inflation bites into budgets and incomes

byukarl

5/27/22 8:34am

How many price cuts are $100-1000 dollars?

*Demand fueled by free money/low rates. As we move forward with realistic interest rates, that demand wont be there.

This seems exactly like something Biden/Obama would do.

I still mock the correction argument

MyTwoCents

It's still early. Wait. It's coming. Rates are still heading up.

Not quite that simple as you know. Either way, historically 30 years are CPI +4%
