What pops the housing bubble?

#1 Recession and based on the yield curve that could happen this summer.
#2 Another spike up in mortgage rates

Whoever figures out the best, leveraged way to short the housing market will make a killing over the next few years.

The average new home sold for $511,000 in February.
Using todays mortgage rates and the 2.5 rule you need to make at least $200,000 to afford the average new home in America.
I’m now convinced this is the greatest bubble in a decade.

Pending Home Sales Shock with 6.9% Collapse:

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/01/27/pending-home-sales-shock-with-6-9-collapse/

Pending home sales defied predictions of a rebound at year-end, falling by 3.9 percent compared with a downwardly revised November estimate, data from the National Association of Realtors showed Thursday.

Compared with a year ago, pending home sales fell 6.9 percent. Sales were down by 10 percent or more in both the Northeast and the West. Sales fell in the Midwest and the South, as well.

The downturn largely reflects an extremely low supply of homes for sale, according to NAR economist Lawrence Yun.

“Pending home sales faded toward the end of 2021, as a diminished housing supply offered consumers very few options,” Yun said. “Mortgage rates have climbed steadily the last several weeks, which unfortunately will ultimately push aside marginal buyers.”

Home sales are expected to contract further this year. Sales are forecast to be down by three percent in 2022 compared with last year, according to Yun.

Nice cash buy back news today. Hope this one rebounds a bit back close to it's highs.

I’m just curious if we’re gonna hear soon or in the coming months an investigation into the Zillow Zestimates being inflated to help Zillow Flip houses.

Makes sense. They curbed further losses. If Quantitative Easing is in the process of a reversal, interest rates are going up, house prices will fall.... Also the middle class shrank this year quite a bit, I'm willing to bet purchases from end users will slow further and additional investors will be cashing out of their investments attempting to curb losses as well. It's ok to make a loss of your offsetting gains, you can write off losses into future

I don’t think they will re enter the home flipping business. They lost what 300 Million?

Makes sense after their fire sale, they're liquidating to lower their financial burden when the real estate market takes a nose dive... They will be able to recover I bet, they probably plan on repurchasing into 2022 in various markets... Come to Toronto.

For sure

Going to $30-$40.00’range then sub $15.00 next year. Imo.

Buying sub 68.50 pps

And there she goes!

ZILLOW going to Collapse IMO. When I dunno but it’s set up for a 60-80% decline.

House Flipper Zillow Lost $109K (37%) Per Flip, Net Loss Triples, Shares Soar
by Wolf Richter • May 10, 2019 • 48
But this new & horrendous house flipping operation inflated revenues “more than expected.”

Zillow, which has generated an unbroken series of annual losses as a public company since its IPO in 2011, has figured out how to lose even more money, a lot more money, and at the same time boost revenues and get its shares to jump: house flipping.

In its quarterly earnings report Thursday evening, Zillow disclosed the dollars and cents of its newest enterprise, “Zillow Offers,” which buys and sells homes. The company describes this as “a new, hassle-free way to buy and sell homes directly through Zillow.”

The report splits out the business segments, including the “Homes” segment, which is its house flipping operation.



In terms of timing: The revenues, costs, and expenses associated with buying and selling the house are booked on the income statement in the quarter in which the sale of the house closes.

So let’s see how Zillow’s new thingy did in the quarter ended March 31:

Sold 414 homes.
Sales proceeds added $128.5 million to revenues, for an average selling price of $310,400 per home.
The purchase cost of these homes added $122.4 million to cost of sales, for an average purchase price of $295,700 per home.
This amounts to an average gross profit (selling price minus purchase cost) of a meager $14,700, or 4.9% per flip.
But it costs money to buy homes, get them ready to flip, market them, finance them until they’re sold, and deal with the transactions, in a corporate manner. So Zillow booked the following expenses associated with its home flipping operations:

$20.8 million in sales and marketing expenses
$12.3 million in technology and development expenses
$14.4 million in general and administrative expenses
$3.8 million in “segment interest” expenses.
So, revenues of $128.5 million from selling the homes, minus $173.7 million in costs and expenses associated with these home sales, for a loss on its home flipping operations of $45.2 million.

This loss of $45.2 million on 414 home flips means:

Zillow lost $109,190 per flip on average.
Zillow lost 37% on each flip on average.
So this is a horrendous business.

I think Zillow has seen its days, and Xome will be taking over. Xome has such a superior AI technology. It is much easier, up to date, and seem just all around better. I look to Xome to take over, as it surges forward. They are on the move in a HUGE way, and just hired a new CEO from Genesis Capital (Goldman Sachs), Rayman Kaur Mathoda.


Looks like big things in the works, on top of the already forward moving Xome.

Might see a
Nice bounce

How LOW will Zillow Go!!

Just took a position, this should run in the coming days

Nice flipper here

Loving the shares I decided to add here. One of the better plays around, IMO, now that the housing markets has confirmed 'it's alive'.
