Prices can’t stay stagnant in an environment where rates are going up as they are. Is there anyone who doesn’t think there will be some price correction (downward)? I don’t understand the impulse to buy right now.

Pros… You will (probably) see a 15-20% correction. The 2021-22 price rise was too sharp to sustain for long term. Having said this sellers now have come to a belief that like their neighbors, they too can make money with higher interest rates. So the price correction will be delayed. First they deny, then ignore and then come to terms with reality. Lesser competition to buy.

Cons: You may have to wait longer for prices to come down (slower than it went up). Pay higher interest in short term 5 yrs (refinance later), Work with lesser options to choose. Many seller will pull-back and play the waiting game. People who have a life stage need to downscale will be the first… followed by multi house owners … followed by rest to list houses. Builders are already slowing.

The general rule of thumb for a mortgage is 28% (primary residence) of gross income. My firm switched up their process and now instead of nice size raises it’s large bonuses. So getting increasing my gross income doesn’t really change unless I include my bonus which is obviously a variable. Is their a recommended approach for these scenarios? Maybe use agi on tax return instead of gross income?

Can anyone confirm my understanding of a partial Section 121 Exclusion? I bought a house 8 months ago and I am unexpectedly relocating to another city for work. The house is worth about $50k more than when I bought it. My understanding is my unexpected relocation is considered a hardship which qualifies me for a prorated Section 121 exclusion. 8 months out of the required 24 (8/24) = 33%. 33% of $250k = $82.5k excludable gains. This means I should end up without a tax liability, right?

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
