Arizona Home Buyers Regret Their Home Purchase – Phoenix AZ Real Estate
Mar 6, 2023
Many Arizona home buyers regret their home purchase. The Phoenix AZ real estate market was red hot during the pandemic years. Low interest rates drove many home buyers into the market in search for once in a lifetime opportunites. We saw home mortgage interest rates as low as 2.5%. This was absolutely unheard of and very unlikely to happen again. Fierce competition for homes pushed many home buyers to overpay for homes. Many offered above asking price. Many waived their home inspections. Many waived their appraisals. Home buyers did everything they had to do to get an offer accepted. Now that the market has cooled due to the rise of mortgage rates, many buyers are now regretting those decisions. In this video we take a look at a recently published article that surveys many homebuyers and the results were astounding. Many pandemic home buyers now have buyers remorse. Strap in as this one is going to be a wild ride. 😀

Wild video captures rowdy NYC ‘wolfpack’ trashing Chinese restaurant:
“Shocking video footage captures the moment a young mob violently trashed a Chinese restaurant in Queens over the weekend, overturning tables and breaking chairs as terrified staff and customers helplessly looked on.
The heinous hooligans left Fish Village in College Point in shambles Saturday, according to a video posted on Twitter by community activist Yiatin Chu.
“We’ve fallen so low that there’s no expectation of consequences for this horrific attack on private property,” Chu, president of Asian Wave Alliance and a co-founder of PLACE NYC, wrote in the post.
“This video is going viral on WeChat. Fish Village, a restaurant in College Point, Qns was ransacked by a gang of masked kids in hoodies.”
Police said the mob stormed the 127th Street restaurant shortly after 8:15 p.m., wrecking tables and chairs and damaging plates and a large window in the senseless destruction.

Face diaper pearl clutchers sad trombone noises, because shoplifting:
“New York City Mayor Eric Adams is calling for shop owners to have customers remove their masks before entering their stores as a means of preventing shoplifting and robberies.
“We are putting out a clear call to all of our shops: Do not allow people to enter the store without taking off their face mask. And then once they’re inside, they can continue to wear it if they so desire to do so,” Adams said on Monday during an interview on the radio station 1010 WINS.
The plan was introduced as a way to address a surge in shoplifting at New York City bodegas, grocery stores and some high-end stores. Adams said that people often wear masks not because they’re fearful of the COVID-19 pandemic but rather because they fear the police “catching them for their deeds.”
The move directly counters COVID-19 safety protocols that encourage people to wear masks in enclosed public spaces. Many people criticized Adams’ decision and comments, emphasizing that asking customers to remove their masks upon entry will place disabled and immunocompromised people at risk of contracting COVID-19.
