Real Estate has been in the media quite a bit lately. Much of the discussion centers around questions such as, "Are we in another bubble?" We recently came across some statistics that put things into perspective. We share them here.
-
A) If we hadn't gone through the boom and bust cycle, and home prices had simply risen at the historic average of about 3.6% a year, the prices would be almost precisely where they are today. (Note red line on chart below.)

B) We're experiencing a bounce, not a bubble. According to Case Shiller, home prices fell about 35% from the peak to nadir. The same index reported a 13% year-over-year increase. On average, prices are still off more than 20% from the peak. And the markets experiencing the highest levels of price appreciation are those that suffered the most dramatic price depreciation during the bust " cities that saw values fall 40%, 50%, even 60%. The current increases are indicative of markets returning to normal.
-
C) Rising interest rates appear to be slowing home price appreciation. According to data, asking prices dropped in July on both a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis. Mortgage rates are likely to continue to rise, which historically has been a damper on home prices.
-
D) Supply and demand are beginning to balance out. All categories of inventory have been unusually low: existing homes, where more than 20% of home owners were in a negative equity position; distressed homes, which had been delayed due to regulatory and legislative delays; and new homes, which were at 30-year lows. As prices go up, more existing homes are entering the market. Distressed properties are beginning to come to market. And new home construction has begun to climb. These trends could lead to a significant paradigm shift a year from now.
-
E) Credit remains tight. One of the major culprits in the creation of the last bubble was easy credit. Under-qualified borrowers were given loans they couldn't afford on over-valued homes. The lending pendulum swung to the opposite extreme, and appears to be stuck there for the time being. Even well-qualified borrowers are having a hard time getting a loan, and appraisals often come in at prices lower than what buyers are willing to pay. As Qualified Mortgage Standards are fully implemented in 2014, it is likely that loans will be even more difficult to secure. --- -RSIR
