    The housing market is about to collapse and you’re about to be hit the hardest!
    The Black Friday sale Ro spoke about in his last video is coming true. Stores are still full to capacity no merchandise moved due to deflation as we’ve been told by the media outlets. In 2023 we are going to see massive layoffs due to store deflation which will lead to more homes coming on the market and home prices will collapse greatly. Raleigh real estate market will hold up for now but the events leading up to 2023 will decide if Raleigh NC housing will fall.

    1. “Low inventory. Why has the extraordinary surge in borrowing costs not led to falling prices? Because inventory is low, housing experts told me. “Listings are down 20 percent from last year,” Fairweather said. “If you already own a home and you locked in a low interest rate, you don’t really have a reason to sell right now. And if you wanted to sell, you probably would have sold last year or the year before, when the market was really hot.”

      The tea leaves say otherwise.

      1. But housing experts I spoke with concurred that many families might want to consider waiting, if they can. Here are five reasons:
        -Staggering prices.
        -Sharply rising mortgage costs.
        -Low inventory. <- – – – – – – – – huh?
        -The stock-market decline.
        -Uncertainty everywhere.

  2. In a surprising turn of events, applications for San Diego’s first-ever vacation rental licenses have fallen short of a new city-imposed cap, meaning that a planned lottery will no longer be necessary.

    “I’m shocked and a little concerned as well because I wanted to make sure that people who do run these businesses didn’t miss out on this opportunity,” said Venus Molina, chief of staff for Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell, whose office originally helped broker a compromise plan for regulating short-term stays after multiple stumbles in the past. “I’m thinking that maybe a lot of people haven’t applied or maybe people just don’t want to deal with this and may want to just rent (their homes) full time.”

    1. Revenue from required license fees, which is $1,000 for a two-year license, will be crucial for funding the administration and enforcement of the new regulations. City officials had previously estimated that applications for the first round of all types of short-term rentals could generate more than $7 million. That funding may now fall short. “We will have to take a look at that — the code enforcement funding,” Molina said. “We may have to go back to the drawing board but at the end of the day this is happening, we’re going to get it done, and enforcement starts May 1. From now until then, we’ll figure all this other stuff out.”

      The magic 8 ball says the license fees will likely increase.
