Hello, I am in GA near Atlanta. My current home is on the market and I bought a home at a better school district. The market hasn’t slowed down at all.

When’s the possible housing market crash?

In the next year maybe?? Haha

It's hard to time any market, especially RE. I would focus on your goals for wealth building and achieving your desired lifestyle and then see if/how the costs of a new home in this environment fit in. That said I recall the 1970s when interest rates were in DOUBLE DIGITS if you can believe that. So historically they are insanely low now. Also factor in that home ownership is a forced savings plan and you will increase equity in your home over time until it is paid off, although early on you pay mostly interest. If Deomocrats win in Nov they are likely to reinstate the old mortgage interest deduction which would be an extra plus. But we can't count on that.

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻

Hi everyone! I’m going to be in NYC next week and would like to connect with a few local CRE brokers while I’m in town. Anyone open for a happy hour?

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal. The lawyer says that everything is good on her hand but I am not sure if she is the deciding factor here. Can a home close without a physical appraisal ? I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.
