Has it finally peaked? Any expert opinions here, please?
Sales seems to have come to a full stop in my hood...nothing sells in the past couple months. And there are several new huge apartment complexes under construction in downtown Flushing, which will likely depress the RE price further.
Anyone willing to call a bottom? I am happy to be a renter for another two years before considering buying.
Bubbles gonna pop sooner or later. Gonna be 2007 all over again. Personally I can't wait. Foreign investment cough cough I mean foreign laundering cough is gonna dry up sooner or later. That's the only thing keeping this current bubble alive.
Prices are going down. Listings sitting longer. Shortsales and foreclosures are going up. Everyone panics. The market is a cycle. We are positioning ourselves. If the market tanks I hope to buy 2 properties at a good price.
I'm sort of looking for housing right now and the price they're asking for dumps---OY.
The market has softened a bit where I am with a slight decrease but nothing super noticeable. It's not like you would move from "can't afford it" to "can." I think overall there might be a slowdown but a HUGE drop in what most people are buying in the outer boroughs I don't see it.
NYC RE market is a bubble that will take another 200 years to burst. If you have the $$ buy now and do not wait. If $$ is an issue go somewhere else. NJ, Westchester or LI offer wonderful alternatives to NYC.
westchester has brutal taxes . my son is up there and taxes on an 1800 sq ft home in scarsdale were 20k .. now he lives in ryebrook and has almost 5000 sq ft but pays 23k. even that 1800 sq ft home sold for a million and it sold the day it listed ... the house he bought just listed the day before . so quality homes go very fast up there and prices are high

The prices that they are asking for some of these homes are questionable, especially if you're planning to rent them out. Imo rents in most of the outer borough neighborhoods haven't kept up with the rise in home prices. In a lot of neighborhoods rents are pretty much flat, while homes went up 20% in the same amount of time.
I also think a lot of people are sitting on money and are not buying and just waiting. Since the economy has been up, a lot of people had 10+ good years now of saving up, but I too don't see a lot of action.
There is also a surprising amount of foreclosures going on. Who are these people that are defaulting in this economy? I can't imagine the amount of foreclosures once a recession hits.

I am not seeing data around rising foreclosures, although Pre-Foreclosure activity seems have picked up (https://www.crainsnewyork.com/real-e...second-quarter). It will be interesting to see whether we enter a recession in the near future.
