- 4:50Speaker 4: numbers ready to roll.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so let's go to this.
- 4:54Speaker 1: We've got recently had a price change on a home
- 4:57Speaker 1: located at thirty twenty nine First Street, Insley. This is
- 5:01Speaker 1: a three bedroom, two bath home one thousand, thirty one
- 5:05Speaker 1: square feet. It was built in nineteen fifty two. It
- 5:08Speaker 1: would work, obviously for for somebody looking for to move
- 5:11Speaker 1: into a home for their personal use or from an
- 5:15Speaker 1: investment side of things. I mean eighty eight for eighty
- 5:18Speaker 1: eight thousand for a three bedroom, two bath, I mean
- 5:20Speaker 1: you could you could get that one rented and make
- 5:23Speaker 1: some money cashad for sure just got me thinking about
- 5:26Speaker 1: do I need to add to the list?
- 5:28Speaker 3: Dude? Does Johnny de guest first while you're putting an offer.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Yeah really so yeah, we're asking eighty eight thousand, and
- 5:37Speaker 1: this listing is courtesy of Tony McDaniel. So, Tony, congratulations
- 5:40Speaker 1: on your listing.
- 5:42Speaker 4: All right, eighty eight thousand. All right, we're gonna start
- 5:44Speaker 4: off with ten percent down. Okay, ten percent down. Gusty
- 5:49Speaker 4: gets to go first.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Hmmm, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with five hundred.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Bucks, five hundred for Gusty.
- 6:08Speaker 5: Like the payment has come down a little bit, so
- 6:09Speaker 5: I'm gonna say four seventy five.
- 6:12Speaker 3: The actual payment is four to seventy four one playing
- 6:18Speaker 3: the game. Right here we go.
- 6:23Speaker 2: That's your second closest guess I think it is.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, wow one dollar letting Gussy just take
- 6:32Speaker 1: that one in.
- 6:33Speaker 3: And so I just kind of sat back and let

- 9:32Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna go with.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Let's go twenty eight hundred.
- 9:42Speaker 5: See, I'm thinking the price is still a little high,
- 9:44Speaker 5: so I'm going to say twenty six fifty.
- 9:49Speaker 4: The actual payment was two thousand, five hundred and seventy six.
- 9:53Speaker 4: John gets round three. It is two to one, John
- 9:56Speaker 4: Mouth going to our final property.
- 9:59Speaker 5: What was that was that payment?
- 10:01Speaker 3: Two five hundred and seventy six.
- 10:03Speaker 5: I keep record because I actually base all these because
- 10:06Speaker 5: I think you're using the same You're using the same
- 10:08Speaker 5: percentage right now.
- 10:10Speaker 4: The interest rate I've changed usually weekly. While what the
- 10:13Speaker 4: that's going on?
- 10:13Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean, like all three of these houses
- 10:15Speaker 5: the same interest rates.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah on this on this one, I've got
- 10:17Speaker 3: the same interest.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Right over here. See he's smarter Thanuching.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Yeah. The only time I normally change it given away
- 10:26Speaker 3: his secret.
- 10:27Speaker 4: If there's a complete some of that will change the
- 10:29Speaker 4: interest rate per property, depending on like if I think
- 10:32Speaker 4: it's going to be you know, it's a commercial or
- 10:34Speaker 4: something like that, or we do a random lot or something.
- 10:36Speaker 4: But for the most part, I keep them pretty much
- 10:37Speaker 4: the same with the with whatever that well, we've.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Got we've got a brand new price a fifty thousand
- 10:42Speaker 1: dollars price reduction at fifty sixty four Greystone Way, five bedrooms,
- 10:47Speaker 1: four and a half baths. This home was built in
- 10:48Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, right on the eleventh fairway of the
- 10:53Speaker 1: Founder's Course in Greystone. Four nine hundred and fifty seven
- 10:57Speaker 1: square feet on the main levels, another eleven hundred fifty
- 11:00Speaker 1: five square feet finished in the basement. One million, three
- 11:03Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars, also known as one
- 11:06Speaker 1: point three seven five.
- 11:07Speaker 4: One point three seven five move to gray Stone. We're
- 11:12Speaker 4: gonna change it up and do ten percent down John, ooh, John.
- 11:15Speaker 4: He noticed John, these price points were all pretty scattered out,
- 11:18Speaker 4: So I just kind of kept the down payment the
- 11:20Speaker 4: same some times when we were get crunched up, kind
- 11:22Speaker 4: of close all.
- 11:24Speaker 5: So I hear it. So here here's my thinking. I'm
- 11:26Speaker 5: looking back at the house that was about ten percent
- 11:29Speaker 5: of this one, maybe a little bit more. So I'm
- 11:30Speaker 5: gonna just gonna move my decial point over. So let's
- 11:33Speaker 5: say seven thousand a.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Month, seven thousand for John.
- 11:44Speaker 2: I'm gonna go seventy five hundred.

- 16:58Speaker 1: while and I'm like, man, we need we need to
- 17:00Speaker 1: implement that.
- 17:01Speaker 5: You should put a mic on the bell though, because
- 17:03Speaker 5: he's not that close to your mic.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Oh wait, wait, wait, wait here we go.
- 17:06Speaker 3: There you go. Now all right, all.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Right, y'all, stay tuned.
- 17:09Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a little bit more update about
- 17:11Speaker 1: what we're seeing in the market on mortgages.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Right here, ballbon and Sold.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Stay tuned, all right, welcome back to Bob barn and Sold. Now,
- 17:23Speaker 1: I'm just messing with y'all with the with the bell
- 17:26Speaker 1: take it. Found the bell in the studio and so
- 17:30Speaker 1: I wanted to.
- 17:32Speaker 3: It makes me think of Breaking bad.
- 17:34Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they got Breaking What a great show.
- 17:37Speaker 2: By the way, have.
- 17:39Speaker 5: You ever seen him in stuff where he's not in
- 17:40Speaker 5: a wheelchair?
- 17:41Speaker 3: And he also doesn't have the accent.
- 17:43Speaker 4: I know, he's like an English speaking like like he's
- 17:46Speaker 4: like almost like Italian.
- 17:47Speaker 1: You would never know, Yeah, yeah, would you look at that?
- 17:52Speaker 3: Would you look at it?
- 17:54Speaker 2: Well?
- 17:54Speaker 1: I know, uh, you know, uh, busy week, busy. Now
- 17:59Speaker 1: it's the start the season. We've talked for months about
- 18:02Speaker 1: the calm before the storm, And when I meant by
- 18:06Speaker 1: the calm before the storm, I meant that really in
- 18:08Speaker 1: a good way, like it's gonna get busy. We talked
- 18:12Speaker 1: about interest rates have been you know, uh projected to
- 18:15Speaker 1: come down. They have been coming down. And I'll tell
- 18:20Speaker 1: you what I think. If you're price right into the market,
- 18:25Speaker 1: you're gonna might I mean, it is a very good
- 18:27Speaker 1: possibility you're gonna get some multiple offers. So it really
- 18:31Speaker 1: does depend on your condition of your property. It depends
- 18:34Speaker 1: on where you come out from a pricing standpoint. You know,
- 18:37Speaker 1: it obviously depends on the location, and it depends on
- 18:40Speaker 1: the price points. Because I mean, you've got some of
- 18:42Speaker 1: our luxury you know houses, they might not go just
- 18:45Speaker 1: immediately off the market, right because some people might need
- 18:48Speaker 1: to sell something to buy. All those kind of situations.
- 18:51Speaker 1: But as we're coming into the selling season, I'm I
- 18:55Speaker 1: think it's going to be a great selling season. I
- 18:58Speaker 1: think people have got to be ready. I think they've
- 19:00Speaker 1: they've got to come in with you know, solid offers.
- 19:03Speaker 1: They've got to you know, really listen to the recommendations
- 19:08Speaker 1: of their gusty Gulist group agent. Yep, they might yeah,
- 19:14Speaker 1: they might have time for the bell. Yeah. And you know,
- 19:18Speaker 1: I mean we're getting phone calls of you know, people
- 19:20Speaker 1: that have been listed on the market and we're coming
- 19:23Speaker 1: in and we're bringing you know, a new look to
- 19:26Speaker 1: to some listenings that are going to be coming up
- 19:28Speaker 1: on the market pretty soon. And you know a lot
- 19:31Speaker 1: of times we get the second, third, and fourth phone
- 19:33Speaker 1: call of bringing a home to market, and you know,
- 19:38Speaker 1: luckily at that point the sellers are usually willing to
- 19:41Speaker 1: listen to us.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Yeah, they makes a big difference, makes a big difference.
- 19:45Speaker 1: And so no, but I'm super excited about the selling season.
- 19:49Speaker 1: What have you been seeing, I know you've been getting
- 19:51Speaker 1: some pre approvals knocked out.
- 19:52Speaker 4: Yeah, and so yeah, So I mean, kind of going
- 19:55Speaker 4: back when you talk about the cam before the storm,
- 19:57Speaker 4: the reason we kind of say the cam before the storm,
- 19:59Speaker 4: we kind of harped on that was is that we
- 20:02Speaker 4: could already feel a lot of folks, like again me
- 20:05Speaker 4: doing the pre approvals, people wanting to get a game
- 20:07Speaker 4: plan a lot earlier this time with kind of knowing
- 20:09Speaker 4: it was going to be in the spring. So we
- 20:10Speaker 4: already knew we were building home buyers for the spring
- 20:14Speaker 4: at even a faster pace than we're used to, so
- 20:16Speaker 4: we knew it may not. You know, sometimes we get
- 20:18Speaker 4: up now to get a preapproval because they're writing a
- 20:20Speaker 4: contract that day sounds to get a pre approval becase
- 20:22Speaker 4: they're gon go look this weekend. Sometimes we get a
- 20:23Speaker 4: preapproval because we want to know what we can look
- 20:25Speaker 4: for in three months. And we've had a lot of
- 20:27Speaker 4: folks kind of forward thinking, so it's like, hey, we
- 20:29Speaker 4: know we were not necessarily turning these into contracts right
- 20:32Speaker 4: now we're to closings, but it's coming. And so the
- 20:34Speaker 4: pre approvals have just continued to pick up and people
- 20:37Speaker 4: are starting now, but they're also now the ones that
- 20:39Speaker 4: we've been pre approven since we've been talking about the
- 20:41Speaker 4: comed before the storm in October November are now getting
- 20:43Speaker 4: under contract or signing stuff and finding things and so
- 20:47Speaker 4: all that's been been really positive. And then like I said,
- 20:51Speaker 4: the rates can have continued to stay down. They're kind
- 20:54Speaker 4: of wedged in between a pretty good ceiling of a
- 20:58Speaker 4: Fibonacci level. And then and then, and then, I know
- 21:01Speaker 4: I was trying. I wanted to use it earlier in
- 21:05Speaker 4: a different situation, but it did couldn't get fitted in.
- 21:08Speaker 4: But so we've got a Fibonacci ceiling that's kind of
- 21:10Speaker 4: we're trying to bust over to kind of help mortgage rates.
- 21:13Speaker 4: But we've got a lot of levels of resistance at
- 21:15Speaker 4: the floor with some different the twenty five day, fifty day,
- 21:18Speaker 4: hundred day, and two a day moving averages. So we've
- 21:20Speaker 4: got good levels of support to keep us where we are.
- 21:23Speaker 4: If we can bust through and get a little bit
- 21:25Speaker 4: more on the report side as far as some more
- 21:28Speaker 4: solid inflation and employment numbers of kind of what's going
- 21:30Speaker 4: on and kind of a better idea of that, I
- 21:32Speaker 4: could see us busting above that. See that Fibonacci level
- 21:35Speaker 4: I was talking about in mortgage rates starting to kind
- 21:38Speaker 4: of tick back down to the to the mid fives,
- 21:40Speaker 4: upper fives of mid fives.
- 21:42Speaker 1: And you can you can probably already see that with
- 21:44Speaker 1: faha vs.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Yeah.
- 21:46Speaker 4: So so we're already looking at those in the in
- 21:48Speaker 4: the mid fives five point six two, five, five and
- 21:50Speaker 4: a half, some five point seventy five kind of that range,
- 21:53Speaker 4: on a lot of your on a lot of your
- 21:55Speaker 4: your government loans, which again we talked about USDA v A,
- 21:58Speaker 4: FHA and and so, yeah, I mean it's just it's
- 22:02Speaker 4: there's just a lot of good things to be in
- 22:03Speaker 4: the market. And we're officially we officially have more home
- 22:06Speaker 4: buyers or we officially now also just on the refinense
- 22:10Speaker 4: side of things, we have more people that are above
- 22:12Speaker 4: the current rates than they are below the current rates,
- 22:14Speaker 4: and that's the first time that's been in a while.
- 22:16Speaker 4: And so so that's all been good. But again some
- 22:19Speaker 4: of the some of the triggers we're looking at, like
- 22:21Speaker 4: for the inflation and stuff. But we got a really
- 22:23Speaker 4: really good like rental report for the past the past week,
- 22:25Speaker 4: which you know, obviously housing is a huge component of
- 22:28Speaker 4: inflation and and so and so rental is a huge
- 22:32Speaker 4: part of that number because it's not necessarily owning a home,
- 22:36Speaker 4: it's what's housing cost. And so they're seeing that we've
- 22:40Speaker 4: got some record vacancy rates and apartments nationwide where we're
- 22:45Speaker 4: we're at a kind of an all time high there
- 22:48Speaker 4: of of of of or of the smallest side of
- 22:52Speaker 4: of rate increases have dropped so that it's down even
- 22:55Speaker 4: more than they thought. It's actually decreased by one point
- 22:57Speaker 4: five percent from last year on rents and so so
- 23:00Speaker 4: all those are starting to come in. So those those numbers,
- 23:02Speaker 4: we see them, so we know they're going to feed
- 23:04Speaker 4: into an inflation report in the next week or two
- 23:07Speaker 4: and then that that's that being such a huge component.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Know when those numbers are moving, the bond market's already
- 23:12Speaker 4: kind of reflecting it and showing it in because we
- 23:15Speaker 4: see it coming in real time because we know what
- 23:16Speaker 4: these reports are going to lead into the PCEE and stuff.
- 23:19Speaker 4: So it's all positive on my on our end, and
- 23:21Speaker 4: hope to continue to see rates rates keep coming down
- 23:23Speaker 4: and keep people in the market.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think it's been interesting is like the
- 23:26Speaker 1: risk level has reduced, where you know, if you look
- 23:30Speaker 1: at a couple of years ago, then based on where
- 23:33Speaker 1: your tenure note, you'd probably at six point seventy five
- 23:35Speaker 1: right now exactly. But those risks have compressed, so that's good. Yep,
