1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Has there ever been a worse time to buy a 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: house in America? Inventory is at record lows, competition has 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: been intense. Home purchases are the most expensive they've been 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: relative to renting in a couple of generations. In the 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: face of this mess, what's a potential home buyer to 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: do is a very very fine house. As it turns out, 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: there are some ways you can make the process of 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: buying a home better or at least less bad. I'm 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: Barry Ridhelts and on today's edition of At the Money, 10 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: we're going to discuss how to buy a home in 11 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: today's market. Let's bring in Jonathan Miller of real estate 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: appraisal and data firm Miller Samuel. For the past thirty 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: seven years, Jonathan Miller's monthly and quarterly housing sales, data 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: and rental reports are must read in the industry and 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: have made him the most quoted man in real estate. 16 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: Jonathan Miller, Welcome to At the Money. Let's just jump 17 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: in to the first question. How challenging is it to 18 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: buy a house today? 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: It's incredibly difficult home buyers. Not only prices haven't really 20 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: come down given the spike and mortgage rates, because inventory 21 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: is absent from the equation, buyers don't have a lot 22 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: of choices. So as a result, what we're seeing bidding 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: wars have been rising. 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Even as rates have gone up. 25 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Yes, because the number one thing to look at really 26 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: as a metric is supply inventory and inventory. The rates 27 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: began rising with the FED pivot at one of the 28 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: steepest climbs in four decades. That it's really challenging the consumer. 29 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: So before we get into even more specific days in details, 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: let's just talk a little bit about psychology. If you're 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: a buyer, how should you approach the idea of purchasing 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: a house from a psychological perspective? Where should your head 33 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: be at? Well? 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: I think the most important thing is to look at 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: this as a long term transaction. I always look at 36 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: housing as a long term asset. There have been various 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: cycles where people were thinking of it as a stock 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: and it's just not that liquid. So you know, you 39 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: buy it, you hold it. The average person, you know, 40 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: the numbers are kind of ranging. The average person stays 41 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: in a home seven to ten years on average, so 42 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: you're really looking at it from a much longer window. 43 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: And within that window, you know, markets trend up and down. 44 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 2: It's you know, there's various cycles, various reasons. I think 45 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: that's one of the most important things to look at 46 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: to treat the asset as it actually is. 47 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: So you and I have discussed what a buyer should 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: pay for a home, and you say something that's kind 49 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: of counterintuitive, and I'm guessing it's based on that, Hey, 50 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: we're going to be here for ten years or longer. 51 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: If you pay a couple of percent over what you 52 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: think is a reasonable price in the long run, it 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, does it. 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: It really doesn't, because you have to remember what the 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: asset is. It is something that you're going to use 56 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: and live in and occupy every day as an owner 57 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: occupied house. In my circumstance a little over a year ago, 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: I actually bought a house for thirty six percent above 59 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: the list price, but when I do the details, I 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: probably only paid ten to fifteen percent above, and who cares. 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: So I'm going to be there for a long time. 62 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: It's exactly what we wanted. I don't look at it 63 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: as that kind of investment that you would track closely. 64 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: And we beat thirty people in a bidding war. 65 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. So let's talk a little bit about bidding 66 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: war What sort of advice do you have if someone 67 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: finds a house they really love, you don't want to 68 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: pay double what it's worth. You'll never get your money 69 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: out of it, at least not in a reasonable time. 70 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: But what are the guidelines for when it's you against 71 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: a couple of dozen people and everybody wants this house 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: on this block in this neighborhood. 73 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: Well, I think human beings need reinforcement. So you probably 74 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: you're going to have to lose two or three bidding 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: warriors before you realize the condition of the market, and 76 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: the condition of the market is that there is a 77 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: chronic inventory shortage in nearly every housing market in America. 78 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that for a second. And again you 79 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: and I have talked about we've underbuilt single family homes 80 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: in the United States for fifteen years following the financial crisis. 81 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Then you had this massive surge of second and third 82 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: home buyers during the lockdown of the pandemic, and now 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: we have this the number I'm familiar with. Sixty percent 84 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: of homeowners have a mortgage of four percent or less. 85 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Eighty percent of homeowners with a mortgage have a mortgage 86 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: of five percent or less. That creates massive lock in. 87 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: No one wants to go right. How long can this 88 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: inventory short fall last? 89 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: Well, I look at there's two solutions for inventory, and 90 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: they're not very one's not realistic, and one isn't good. 91 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: The first idea is that rates fall back down. And 92 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: when you're talking to many homeowners in our appraisal business, 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: there is a broad expectation that rates, after going from 94 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: just below three to almost eight percent, that they're going 95 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: to settle back down. And I don't disagree with that, 96 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: except they're not going to settle back down to three 97 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: or four percent. Five. The economy lucky, If we're lucky, 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: it's probably high fives, low six is given that unemployment 99 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: is still very low. The economy is still vibrant. So 100 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: I didn't expect a massive rate cut. It would be 101 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: my just using logic. No, I have no inside understanding. 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: So when you have rates drop, each time the rates 103 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 2: sort of incrementally drop, homeowners become sellers and that adds 104 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: a little bit of inventory, but not enough, but it 105 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: every little bit helps. The other thing to look at 106 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: would be some adverse negative event that would cause the 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: FED to cut rates more sharply, and that would be 108 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: a recession. Of course, we've been talking about a recession 109 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: coming in six months for the last two years, so 110 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 2: you know that seems uncertain. The problem is then you 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: get job loss, right, and we have job loss, that's 112 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: less people that will buy homes. 113 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Right, it makes a lot of sense. So we've been 114 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: talking about mortgages and mortgage rates. I've always been shocked 115 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: whenever I looked at your reports at the rise of 116 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: the cash purchase. This used to be a mostly high 117 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: end sort of thing, and now it seems to be 118 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: working its way down. The economic strata of homes tell 119 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: us about what's going on with all cash purchases. 120 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: So cash has been the method of purchase that's gotten 121 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: a lot more popular in the last couple of years. 122 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: I don't want to give the impression that hey, everybody's 123 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: just paying cash. No would need some mortgage. But what 124 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: the way to think of cash is the higher you 125 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: go in price, the higher the probability the purchase is 126 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: a cash transaction. 127 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: So ten million and up, those are all cash purchase. 128 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: Eighty to ninety percent cash. 129 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: What about five million and up? 130 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: Five million and up is about the same. It's when 131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: you leave, Yeah, when the people that are at the 132 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: high end that are more susceptible to higher rates are 133 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: generally the two to five million range because those people 134 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: aren't paying cash, they're getting financing, and that market has 135 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: been much more challenged. The lower you go in price, 136 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: the more dependent you are on a mortgage. One quick 137 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: example is in Manhattan, we had a situation this year 138 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: where year every year sales fell about thirty percent, but 139 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: sales for cash buyers fell twenty percent and for finance 140 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: buyers fell forty or higher percent. So it has more 141 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: of an impact, but cash doesn't bypass the challenge of 142 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: high rates. 143 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: So I used to think of four or five million 144 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: dollars as like a big, spectacular house on the water 145 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: cash purchased by a very wealthy individual. You're implying that 146 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: two to five is now no longer the very rich. 147 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: That's the upper class, upper middle class. What is that 148 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: range of homes. 149 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, upper middle class or lower upper 150 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: class is really two to five, and they tend to 151 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: be dependent on financing. We have a market in the 152 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 2: New York region known as the Hamptons, and we call 153 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: it the Hampton's Middle Two to five million, five are 154 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: higher versus one million or two million or lower. The 155 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: Hampton's middle is much the most challenged part of the 156 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: market because those buyers are much more impacted by the 157 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: spike in rates over the last year and a half 158 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: than the five and over, which are more cash. 159 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: What about working with the real estate if you're a buyer, 160 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: how useful are real estate agents? 161 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: So I think one of the things they don't get 162 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: credit for, and I know this from personal experience quite often, 163 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: is they provide a buffer between the parties. Because many people, 164 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: when confronted with the opposition, there's no buffer, they're intimidated. 165 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,479 Speaker 2: They may end up not doing well in the negotiation. 166 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: That's not everybody, but at least in my experience, that's 167 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: that's the service that is provided to have a third 168 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: party to insulate you from direct negotiation. 169 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: What about those negotiated offers? What we need to know 170 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: about the way to make an offer that's most likely 171 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: to resonate with the seller. 172 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: So, you know, I think a lot of people when 173 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: ask this question, they think it's all about the price. Hey, 174 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: you know, the higher the price you are, you know 175 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: you offer, But it really is the terms. So it's 176 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: how much finding it? What does your financial situation look like, 177 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: how likely are you to be able to close at 178 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: this price? You know, is there going to be a problem. 179 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that that. You know, price isn't important, 180 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: but it's probably parallel to the terms of the deal itself. 181 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 2: You know, if someone comes in and makes an astronomical offer, 182 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: you know, the sellers, you know, if that doesn't close, 183 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: the momentum of the house on the market and it's 184 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: all lost because the transaction starts over. So really your 185 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: focus is presenting yourself as someone that can afford it, 186 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: and that brings in whether you're proved for financing. 187 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: So do that in advance and come with a clean 188 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: offer with a lot of not a lot of contingencies. 189 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Right in this market, you know, it's pretty common now 190 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: to have financing contingencies. A year and a half ago 191 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: that was non existent. It was you know, there was 192 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: no hair on the deal, so to speak. But you know, 193 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: less is more always when you're negotiating. I think in 194 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: this market, buyers think that they have more leverage over 195 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: the seller than they actually have. So for example, in 196 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: the market the suburbs that surround Manhattan, the share of 197 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: closings just in the third quarter that were bidding wars 198 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 2: was forty to fifty percent. Wow, so half the sales, 199 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: nearly half the sales are selling above the asking price. 200 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: So as a buyer, you don't have a lot of 201 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: strength over the seller at this current time because we're 202 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: in this incredible inventory situation where inventory is devoid of 203 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: being president on the market. 204 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: So we've been talking about existing homes. What about new construction, 205 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: either buying a plot of land and building your own 206 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: house or working with a spec builder who's in the 207 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: midst of constructing a house. How do we navigate those 208 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: circumstances as buyers. 209 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because existing inventory is so low that 210 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: many markets have a disproportionately high share of new construction, 211 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: even though it's still a small amount, but more typically 212 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: you expect ten to fifteen percent of most markets are 213 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: new construction. And one of the things that large national 214 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: builders have been doing is buying down interest rates, which 215 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: has been very well received. 216 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: To find that what do you mean buying down interest rates? 217 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: So let's just say that prevailing thirty year fixed is 218 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: seven and a half percent, they'll buy down the rate. 219 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 2: So what that means is that the buyer, when they 220 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: buy the house. The mortgage rate is five and a 221 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: half percent. That's not amazing, and that has been very successful. 222 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: But not all builders can afford to do that. They 223 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: need scale the financial wherewithal. But when you do that, 224 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: you're reducing the resistance to the purchase. 225 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: Huh, really really fascinating stuff. So to sum up, it's 226 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: still a seller's market. However, as a buyer, you have 227 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things you can do to improve your 228 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: chance of successfully purchasing a house. Come in with all 229 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: your ducks lined up, make sure your cash and financing 230 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: is in place, Try not to hang too many contingencies 231 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: on your offer, work with a good agent who knows 232 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: the area, and don't be surprised if you're going to 233 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: pay a little over the asking price for the house 234 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: of your dreams.
