isnt it a bubble right now?

Is this 2007?
Only if China's economy collapses first and all those foreign investors have to bail. I give it at least another 5 years.

There's no bubble, the prices are so high because there's a lack of entry-level homes available.

You're 10 years too late

Don't listen to these tards op we are in a housing bubble. Prices keep increasing while real wages are not, now interest rates are slowly increasing. Its a matter of time until the whole economy collapses too. Stocks are over cooked, many people are taking their gains and getting out.

Two major ways to play the game
1: Geography. Pay attention to international commodities and businesses in demand, focus on the boom towns. Oil is going to boom again soon within the year, so look into downtown real estate in oil counties of Texas and North Dakota.
2: Interstate competition. Ex-Californians are always being made, sick of paying high taxes so they move eastward and drive other places up. You've missed the Denver bubble by a long shot, but after a long period of depression, Vegas is ticking upwards again, for one example.

there are housing bubbles but its a regional thing. Californians are leaving their rekt state and so major cities around Cali are seeing their prices go up because Californians are used to paying too much for everything. However other places are just catching up to where they should have been. I think there will be a catalyst that causes home prices to go down but it wont be because of the housing market. Like the bubble in the stock market or all the QE programs used by the Federal Reserve. So yes there will be a time in probably the next 5 years when Americas economy is in the tank again. I am buying precious metals, crypto and guns/ammo to take advantage of the catalyst that youre talking about. I would advise crypto if youre just starting out and dont have much. Its kind of in a gold rush right now and its hard to not make money,

thanks alot

the only thing is I feel like it would be smart to own at least one property...Where will you keep your guns,ammo and gold if you are renting and lose your place, dont get me wrong im definitely interested in those things, but a physically property seems important too...Thats one thing that really attractive to me about crypto is that its goood where ever you go in the world, even if you always on the go

You can't just say it's a bubble and expect everyone to believe you

Did the real estate market even actually crash in 2008-2009?
Because it sure didn't here in Europe, even though the 2008-2009 crisis hit pretty hard.
It kind of feels like a bubble right now since unemployment is still high and good paying jobs are increasingly scarce... meanwhile housing prices are still climbing. Go on zillow, pick a random area and you'll see tons of houses for obscene prices, and a scary amount of foreclosure listings.
I think it's a bubble, but it's not going to pop yet.
I'm in the same boat OP, I'm working on buying my first house with cash but I'm not going to do that until a market correction happens... I might be waiting 5 years for that. This market is too inflated even for somebody who is financially responsible.

first of all, canadian/aussie bubble will pop first
second, its very hard to profit off of. short banks. buy the dip r ur best.options

It was more or less US based because the Washington was like "everybody needs a house" and guaranteed really stupid loans that people would default in 2-5 years.
Second of all, this >>2166962
When this happens the US region will be affected but not to the extent of CA/AUS. I am predicting house prices to come down in US by 10-15% after such an event.
