Realtors “building wealth” ad 2008

by getalowmortgagerate on January 21, 2010


The NAR’s 2008 “public awareness campaign” tries to tell you it’s always a good idea to buy a home. They say this “emphasizes the importance of homeownership in creating long-term wealth. Using data from respected third-party sources, the materials demonstrate the effect that homeownership has on household wealth.”

60% of the ave homeowner’s wealth being from home equity is related to people having low networths. It’s not that they’re worth 10 million and 6 million is b/c of their home equity.

All the great thing a Realtor wants to do for me for “just” 3%:

I can be your Buyers Agent if you and I come to agree. The Realtors Only MLS searching will be my responsibilities; I will follow up with disclosures, flood plain and structures conditions such as foundations, Sellers Disclosures, and Insurance claims Investigations, proper follow up on Inspections and closing dates, and the easiest of all, Negotiations on your behalf.

Asking a real estate agent if today is a good day to buy a house is like asking a used car salesman if today is a good day to buy a car. Since when is buying a depreciating asset a good investment? You’re better off losing $2000 a month in rent rather than $5000 a month in depreciation over the next two years(that’s not counting agent commissions, taxes, maintainence, and homeowners insurance).

“long term wealth?” They are scrambling with the loss in sales, desparate to get new buyers. But, we all know to buy right now is pre-mature. Wait until 2009 or 2010. This is, if the world hasn’t yet been destroyed by nuclear war.

Your banker, your Real Estate Agent, your Car Salesman… none of these people are your friends. You should never look up information on the housing market posted by the sales agent.

BE SMART DONT BUY NOW.If you buy now, you will find a house like the one you bought for $100K or more less than what you paid. You effectively will be catching a falling knife and become instantly underwater on your mortgage! Imagine going to the bank and asking, “I’d like to open an account for minus (-)$100K”. After years of deposits adding up to $100K you will have $0 in the account. Silly isn’t it? Well that is exactly what you will be doing if you bought a house right now.
