I'm seeing actual price declines here in the intermountain west. Seller concessions like crazy, price cuts, houses sitting for months. It's like someone flipped a switch.
Gravity has to win sooner or later:

I think there will be some smoking deals if you have cash in the next few years.

I'm a fan of calculated rnewslettertter, and their data for V as doesn't look great. On the o,ther hand all the antedata is looking fairly good.
Vegas: I continue to get almost daily, text, phone calls, snail mail, or email offers for my properties. I had all 3 appraised in Mrch, and enup ded taking a loan out on one. I an got unsolicited offer for $5K over the appraised value last week. I'm ha ng difficult times raising rents fast enough. I didn't raise in 2020 due to Covid, so that put me behind. Still the comps on one of my properties came back at $1675 and Zillow said $1,900. The house is renting for $1295 after a $125 raise last year. So increased by $150 and had zero pushbackback. The flip team that I provide hard money lending to is still doing great finding flipping luxury houses in Vegas (1.5 million+). They are no longer selling in 3 days at over asking, but 30-45 days and modest discounts to their (aggressive) prices.
Kansas City. I ended with about ~10% rent increases in my co-owned units. The same flip team is primarily focused on 200,000-300,housesouse in the area, and while they aren't being sold in a week above asking. They are selling in a normal tof ime 30-45 days
Honolulu: housesouse on my sisters street just sold for 10% over asking, again they didn't sellwithin days, but a normal time.
Higher rents equal higher cap rates, which I think will help maintain prices despite higher mortgage rates.
