Where the market was not long ago

• Anyone could buy a house with no money down, no job or credit

• Fix & flip a house was the way to make a lot of money fast

• Sellers could ask any price and soon someone would pay it

  • (the bigger fool theory)

Here is where the market is today

• It is difficult to buy a home without some money down, a stable job history and good credit

• Many of the fix & flip houses are in foreclosure

• Sellers are reducing prices and homes are staying on the market longer

  • Rentals and short sales are now a larger part of the housing market

Supply and Demand are working to get the market back in balance

• This gives qualified buyers more choices at better prices

  • But, fewer financing options

• Expectations and speculation ran prices up, and are now readjusting

• For decades, up until about 2003, home values rose on average about 5% a year

As buyers come back into the market

• Prices stabilize then slowly increase

  • Excess inventory of homes on the market will fall

  • Foreclosures will no longer be a third of sales

• More demand for homes causes more demand for financing money which makes rates go up

Builders

• Builders were building about 3 times as many homes as the market could normally absorb

• New Construction inventory must get back down to about a 4 months supply

What's going to happen now?

• Prices may be at the bottom now - Who knows?

• Case-Shiller Home Price Index Shows the bottom may be here already

• Interest rates may be at the bottom now - Who knows?

• Historic Interest rate since 1971 Shows the bottom may be here already
