What If I Wait Until Next Year to Buy a Home?

We recently shared that national home prices have increased by 6.7% year-over-year. Over that same time period, interest rates have remained historically low which has allowed many buyers to enter the market.

As a seller, you will likely be most concerned about ‘short-term price’ – where home values are headed over the next six months. As a buyer, however, you must not be concerned about price, but instead about the ‘long-term cost’ of the home.

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae all project that mortgage interest rates will increase by this time next year. According to CoreLogic’s most recent Home Price Index Report, home prices will appreciate by 5.2% over the next 12 months.

What Does This Mean as a Buyer?

If home prices appreciate by 5.2% over the next twelve months as predicted by CoreLogic, here is a simple demonstration of the impact that an increase in interest rate would have on the mortgage payment of a home selling for approximately $250,000 today:

Bottom Line

If buying a home is in your plan for this year, doing it sooner rather than later could save you thousands of dollars over the terms of your loan.

Real Estate Tops Best Investment Poll for 5th Year Running

Every year, Gallup surveys Americans to determine their choice for the best long-term investment. Respondents are given a choice between real estate, stocks/mutual funds, gold, savings accounts/CDs, or bonds.

For the fifth year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment!

This year’s results showed that 34% of Americans chose real estate, followed by stocks at 26%. The full results are shown in the chart below.

The study makes it a point to draw attention to the contrast in the sentiment over the last five years compared to that of 2011-2012, when gold took the top slot with 34% of the votes. Real estate and stocks took second and third place, respectively, while still in recovery from the Great Recession.

Bottom Line

As the real estate market has recovered, so has the belief of the American people in the stability of housing as a long-term investment.

5 Ways Tax Reform Has Impacted the 2018 Housing Market

Starting late last year, some predicted that the 2018 tax changes would cripple the housing market. Headlines warned of the potential for double-digit price depreciation and suggested that buyer demand could drop like a rock. There was even sentiment that homeownership could lose its coveted status as a major component of the American Dream.

Now that the first quarter numbers are in, we can begin to decipher the actual that impact tax reform has had on the real estate market.

1. Has tax reform killed off home buyer demand? The answer is “NO.”

According to the Showing Time Index which “tracks the average number of buyer showings on active residential properties on a monthly basis” and is a “highly reliable leading indicator of current and future demand trends,” buyer demand has increased each month over the last three months and is HIGHER than it was for the same months last year. Buyer demand is not down. It is up.

2. Have the tax changes affected America’s belief in real estate as a long-term investment? The answer is “NO.”

Two weeks ago, Gallup released its annual survey which asks Americans which asset they believed to be the best long-term investment. The survey revealed:

“More Americans name real estate over several other vehicles for growing wealth as the best long-term investment for the fifth year in a row. Just over a third cite real estate for this, while roughly a quarter name stocks or mutual funds.” 

The survey also showed that the percentage of Americans who believe real estate is the best long-term investment was unchanged from a year ago.

3. Has the homeownership rate been negatively impacted by the tax changes? The answer is “NO.”

Not only did the homeownership rate not crash, it increased when compared to the first quarter of last year according to data released by the Census Bureau.

In her latest “Z Report,” Ivy Zelman explains that tax reform didn’t hurt the homeownership rate, but instead, enhanced it:

“We have been of the opinion that homeownership is most highly correlated with income and the net effect of tax reform would be a positive, rather than negative catalyst for the homeownership rate. While still in the early innings of tax changes, this has proven to be the case.”

4. Has the upper-end market been crushed by new State and Local Taxes(SALT) limitations? The answer is “NO.”

In the National Association of Realtors latest Existing Home Sales Report it was revealed that:

  • Sales between $500,000 and $750,000 were up 4.5% year-over-year
  • Sales between $750,000 and $1M were up 15.1% year-over-year
  • Sales over $1M were up 17.3% year-over-year

5. Will the reforms in the tax code cause home prices to tumble over the next twelve months? The answer is “NO.”

According to CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Insights Report, home prices will appreciate in each of the 50 states over the next twelve months. Appreciation is projected to be anywhere from 1.9% to 10.3% with the national average being 4.7%.

Bottom Line

The doomsday scenarios that some predicted based on tax reform fears seem to have already blown over based on the early housing industry numbers being reported.

When is the best time to sell?

Friends and Clients —
 
Each year, spring is the hottest season for real estate.
 
However, spring 2018 looks to be an especially important time for anyone looking to sell a home. Here are a few facts to get you thinking:
 
1. Demand continues to outstrip supply
The number of homes on the market is near an all-time low, and listings of existing homes have plunged 8.1% over the past year.
 
While this means that the total number of sold homes has actually decreased, demand continues to be strong. This is driven in large part by a good job outlook and the growing number of millennials entering the market for the first time.
 
2. Home prices are still surging
Home prices are up 6.3% year over year in the last quarter for which we have data.
 
It’s not just Westchester that’s doing well—areas around the country keep posting record highs for home values.
 
This is unlikely to change in the near future considering how much stronger demand is than supply right now.
 
3. Mortgage rates are finally rising
The Fed increased its benchmark rate several times over the past year, but this did not translate to an immediate increase in mortgage rates.
 
However, mortgage rates do seem to be finally responding, and the 30-year fixed rate is now hovering around 4.5.%
 
While this is a four-year high, it is still near historic lows and makes mortgages affordable to would-be buyers.
 
What does all of this mean for you as a home seller?
 
First off, right now is a very good time to sell.
 
That’s because of the strong demand and the high level of current prices.
 
In other words, if you were to put your home on the market right now, you could get top dollar, and you would be able to sell quickly and without hassle.
 
Second, it’s not clear how long this favorable situation will last.
 
As I mentioned, mortgage rates are on the rise.
 
Currently, that is not enough to dampen demand. But if rates continue to rise, it might drive more buyers out of the market, eventually driving down prices and making it more difficult to sell your home.
 
Another thing to consider is the effect of the new tax plan.
 
It’s not entirely clear how it will affect the real estate market, but odds are good it will make purchasing a home more expensive. That’s because of a new cap on state and local tax deductions, which could combine with higher mortgage rates to push more buyers out of the market.
 
To sum up, if you have been considering selling your home, consider selling now. The current market is very favorable, but it won’t last forever.
 
Here’s how to get started. You can get a quick but accurate estimate of the current value of your home, based on recent Westchester sales:
 
 
And if you want a more detailed estimate, or you want to get the ball rolling on selling your home while this boom lasts, give me a call at 951-506-5744 I’m here to help.
 
Have a great day,

Why buying may be more affordable than renting
One big reason to own

Hey Prospective Buyer

I know you’re ready for homeownership, but in case the process is becoming discouraging, here’s why you should keep pursuing home buying instead of continuing to rent.

Our EVP of Capital Markets, Greg Richardson (aka someone on our team who likes to study this stuff) has convincing information about renting vs. owning. Here’s what he has to say:

The downward trend of rates the last 20 years proves that buying a home truly is a better option than renting. Need proof? Let’s crunch some hypothetical numbers.

In June 2000, the median price of a home was $140,000 and the rate on a 30-year mortgage was 8 percent. If a borrower financed this at a 90 percent loan-to-value (putting 10 percent down), the principal and interest payment was approximately $925 a month. Compare that to 2017 when the median price of a home is $245,000 and the 30-year mortgage rate is 3.8 percent. If a borrower finances this at a 90 percent loan-to-value, the principal and interest payment would be approximately $1,025 a month. This shows that in the span of 17 years, the average mortgage payment has increased by just $100 on principal and interest only. This does not take into consideration property taxes and insurance, which vary across different states.

Rental rates, meanwhile, continue to rise much more than only $100 over 17 years with no sign of slowing down. The bottom line: Homeownership over time is a better investment and more affordable than renting.
Stay on the path to homeownership, friend, and let’s see if you can get approved for a mortgage.

Boomerang Buyers: Most Qualify for Financing in 2-3 Years

According to a new study from Lending Tree, Americans who have filed for bankruptcy may be able to rebuild enough credit to qualify for a home loan in as little as 2-3 years.

This is in stark contrast to the belief that many have that they need to wait 7-10 years for their bankruptcies to clear from their credit reports before attempting to apply for either a mortgage or a personal or auto loan.

The study analyzed over one million loan applications for mortgages, personal, and auto loans and compared borrowers who had a bankruptcy on their credit report vs. those who did not to find out the “Cost of Bankruptcy.”

The study found that 43.2% of Americans who filed bankruptcy were able to repair their credit back to a 640 FICO® Score in less than a year. The percentage of those who achieved a 640 FICO® Score increased to nearly 75% after 5 years. The full breakdown of the findings was used to create the chart below.

Americans who were able to repair their credit scores to a range of 720-739 within three years of filing were able to obtain the same financing options as those who had never filed bankruptcy.

According to Ellie Mae’s latest Origination Insights Report, 53.5% of those who were approved for a home loan had FICO® Scores between 600-749 last month. This is great news for Americans who are looking to re-enter the housing market.

 

Raj Patel, Lending Tree’s Director of Credit Restoration & Debt-Related Services had this to say:

“People may think that filing a bankruptcy would put you out of the loan market for seven to ten years, but this study shows that it is possible to rebuild your credit to a good credit quality.”

“LendingTree’s research found that very few bankruptcy filers have a harder time [obtaining a mortgage] than those who have not filed for bankruptcy.”

Bottom Line

If you are one of the millions of Americans who has filed for bankruptcy and think that you have to wait 7-10 years to make your dream of returning to homeownership a reality, let’s get together to find out if you qualify now.

House Prices: Simply a Matter of Supply & Demand

Why are home prices still rising? It is a simple answer. There are more purchasers in the market right now than there are available homes for them to buy. This is an example of the theory of “supply and demand” which is defined as:

“the amount of a commodity, product, or service available and the desire of buyers for it, considered as factors regulating its price.”

When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. This is currently happening in the residential real estate market.

Here are the numbers for supply and demand as compared to last year for the last three months (March numbers are not yet available):

In each of the last three months, demand (buyer traffic) has increased as compared to last year while supply (number of available listings) has decreased. If this situation persists, home values will continue to increase.

Bottom Line

The reason home prices are still rising is because there are many purchasers looking to buy, but very few homeowners ready to sell. This imbalance is the reason prices will remain on the uptick.
