If you have owned a home, or any piece of residential real estate including condos, and vacation homes than you are aware of the run up in prices that occurred for a five year period that ended more than a year ago. In terms of investing, owning a home for half a century has been a wonderful way to build wealth. It is one of the few investing methods where you could actually live in your investment, while it increased in value. Most investors are not aware that from World War II until last year, there was never a single year where home prices fell on a national level, until last year that is.

Homeowners have counted on a steady annual increase in the price of the house they were living in to create a wealth effect. For many, it was their only source of forced savings. It was also a participation in the American dream – owning your own home, and living in it.

Studies are now available which show that at the end of last year, a number of housing markets declined. Actually, 149 different markets experienced the decline. Hardest hit were the East and West Coast of the US, and the Northeast cities.

In you were in Florida at all last year, it was impossible not to see thousands of super cranes going about the process of building 20 to 50 story condominiums. The vast majority of these condos were bought on speculation with the buyer signing the contract never anticipating the need to close on the contract.

We have not seen a mass number of walkways yet. These are people that signed non-recourse agreements with the builder, and are in a position to walk away from the agreement without having to write a check. They will forfeit the deposit they put down however.

Florida may well be the state taking the biggest hit in real estate. Sarasota was down 18% by year-end, while Melbourne was experiencing a 17 % decline. We are talking about actual prices being down. On a national level prices were down 2.7%.

Many analysts haven’t quite figured out what this means? Are motivated sellers holding onto residences longer in anticipation of getting their higher price later on? Are some sellers withdrawing their homes from the market, or perhaps not putting them on the market at all, awaiting prices firming up, perhaps later this year?

What about sales themselves?

In addition to prices being down, there are less actual sales taking place, which is leading to a larger inventory of unsold homes. Forty different states have reported a decline in the number of sales taking place. On a national level the number comes to a 10.1% decline in the actual number of homes being sold regardless of price. Three different localities have reported physical sales being down more than 30%. They include Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia. Virginia reported a 20% decline.

There were six states that reported an increase in the number of sales taking place – that’s six out of fifty. They included Alaska, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas. There was no impact on Utah where sales were flat.

What you really need to look at is the VACANCY rate. The vacancy rate is the number of homes on the market where nobody is living in them, and they are for sale. On a national level, this number always seems to hover around 2%. At year-end, the number went to 2.7%. This is a massive increase because 2.7% is the highest it has been to in 50 years, and that’s only because they started figuring out the number 50 years ago.

You’ve got owners out there who are just waiting, and won’t sell at a lower price than the price they want. This accounts for the increased vacancy rate. On top of that you have another issue. There does come a point where a seller may have to sell. He will take what he can get, even though it establishes a new lower base from which everything else can trade.

Once this base is established than other buyers and sellers see it. The seller reacts with alarm. The buyer reacts with glee, but trepidation also because the buyer doesn’t know if prices are going lower still. This is how panic selling sets in, and no buyers. The buyers walk away, waiting for still lower prices

It’s the same as the stock market, sellers once they have seen higher prices, don’t want to sell at a lower price. Many prefer to wait, hoping, and it is hope that the price will come back. Only the forced seller will do the deal. It might be an estate, or divorce settlement, or a housing relocation that forces the actual sale. It doesn’t matter, once that sale hits the marketplace for all to see, there is a new adjustment in the real estate market.

Where’s the BIAS Now – UP or DOWN?

It is difficult to tell if the year-end numbers have wrenched out the secular excesses that have taken place in the real estate markets in the last five years while everything went crazy on the upside. There may be more to go. If you look at the stock market, most of the house builders bottomed out several months ago when they all made new multi-year lows. Since then, they have rallied nicely. If the real estate market has more to go on the downside, than these stocks will probably have to build double-bottoms before the decline is actually over.

If however, the vacancy rate picks up from here, and price declines have seen their bottom, than most of the damage is behind us. The economy overall and interest rate seem fine, so we don’t expect damage coming from a decline in GDP this year. What seems to be happening is that we are looking at a wearing down of the excesses produced since the late 1990′s in residential real estate in this country?

The geographical segments of the country that experienced the most increases in real estate prices are now the ones experiencing the declines. It’s the same story, and the story never changes, only the areas of the country being affected changes. Our work shows that prices, and vacancy rates have a way to go yet on the downside. At the same time, we believe the housing stocks may decline, but the absolute bottoms established months ago will hold. We are already off those bottoms.

Goodbye and Good Luck

The Advantages Of Investing In Condominiums

Condominiums are often considered to be one of the good real estate investment options to build equity. You can buy a condominium either to live in or to rent it out. Another name for luxury and grandeur, condominiums are often leased for sale. These individual units of accommodation can also be renovated as apartments and town houses which are used for commercial purposes. Those who buy condominiums share rights inside the vicinity such as club houses, hallways and swimming pools. Maintenance of condominiums often lies with the condominium association. Due to its many advantages it is popular not only among the elderly people but also among young professionals and small families. Some of the advantages of condominiums which make it a good investment option are as follows: 

Buying condominiums is a good investment option particularly for those who are investing for the first time. Compared to standalone homes condominiums are cheaper. This makes condominiums a good option when investing for the first time. The reason for its lesser price may be that a condominium doesn’t have its own separate yard. Also, it is easier to get a loan for a condominium than for a traditional home. 

A condominium is considered to be an excellent option for those who travel a lot. If you leave your home and go away on business you may return to face a large number of problems in your home due to your long absence. Problems such as burglary or graffiti and so on may take place due to your absence from your home. But in a condominium it is difficult to commit a crime because of the presence of a large number of residents within a small area.

A condominium would also be the best option for you if your kids don’t stay much at home. It has been observed that the requirement for a big house disappears once your kids leave you and go away to start their own independent lives. Thus most of the parents prefer to downsize to a condominium and make use of their cash for an early retirement. This trend is increasing day by day. 

A standalone home calls for a lot of maintenance in order to keep it in a proper shape. On the contrary, condominiums need very little maintenance. Besides, with the constant care and attention offered by home owners association maintaining your condominium is much easier. It makes your stay quite hassle-free and relaxing. 

The above facts about condominiums are convincing enough to decide in favor of an investment in condominiums. Usually the condos are popular because it is considered to be one of the best choices for a beginner. Also, home owners associations (HOAs) maintains strict standards which may bother a few easy-going careless tenants but it is undoubtedly an added advantage for the owners. Maintenance of a suburban property is a huge task for its owner. It is not so in the case of a condominium. 
Usually the motive or the driving force behind investment in real estate is appreciation in the value of a property. With the increasing popularity of condominiums its value is also rising. Growing population and changing lifestyles are going to increase the demand for condominiums in years to come. Thus investment in condos is highly advantageous.

The real-estate and land-investment business has evolved as the most profitable business for those who can put in lot of cash in the land or the property and wait for the increase in the value of the land and property. Although the property or land may fetch instant cash in exceptional times like the sudden increase in the value due to reasons in the market or due to the property’s unique location. This makes for the type of real estate investing type called the short-term-investment, the long-term real estate and land-investment means that the investor has to wait for a long time for the land or the property to consolidate worth.
Making a short-term investment depends largely on the professional’s skill, study and experience of the market. The long-term real estate and land-investment type is generally considered the most profitable investment since the period of the investment is long the returns are also great and provide good return on investment in the business.
The different real-estate and land investments are REITS, rental properties, vacation rental properties, and raw land investments. These different types of real estate and land-investment types have their own risks and benefits, which the investor must study carefully before investing.
REITS or Real Estate Investment Trusts
The Real-Estate-Investment Trusts are organizations that are involved in the buying, selling, land and property development and management. The real estate investment trusts companies work as a security and sell their products on all the main stock exchanges are the stocks. These REITS work in a standard way, they put in their money directly in the business in the form of mortgage and property. The special feature of this type of real-estate and land investing is that they enjoy an exclusive tax consideration by the government and the returns the investor receives are higher and are easily convertible to cash for the investor as compared with other types of investments. This type of investment is ideal for individual investors and they can buy the shares directly from the stock exchange or through their broker.
The other type of real-estate and land investments option is the real-estate partnership, where different individual investors come together. These individual investors gather their funds and other resources and direct their investments only for the real-estate investments. The investment is a kind of joint ownership in this investment group. The vacation rental property is another type of real estate investment where the investor gets regular income from the rent of the property.
The vacation rental property investing is known as the long-term investment option and this type of investment enable the investor to not only have regular rental income but also they can sell the property once there is enough value for it despite the rents received. However, for availing the good value the investor has to maintain the property in good condition. In the raw land investing, the investor reaps profit from its natural resources or develops the land then sells it for big profit.

A declining real estate market at home and fear of deepening recession are driving American homebuyers and real estate investors to hunt for opportunities outside the domestic borders. So far as the condo investment is concerned, many home buyers are exploring the booming markets. The Latin American countries such as Panama and Costa Rica have become hot real estate destinations in the recent times. But it is the Mexico condos that have surpassed all its Caribbean neighbors in popularity and sales volume.The country’s natural beauty, sunny climate and a socio-cultural pattern having a close US resemblance it is only natural that American home buyers are banking so much upon the Mexico condos. From the retiring baby boomers to the young couples are looking out for a second home, all are gathering to this country in search of an affordable, yet high quality real estate solution. And they all are happy and satisfied with their dream land in location that takes a few hours driving from the major US cities like California, Florida or Phoenix and the property which closely follows US tradition in its construction and list of amenities. A booming and ever expanding tourism is to be thanked for the growth in the Mexico condos market. The real estate experts in Mexico predicted that the properties are likely to continue with its appreciation cycle for another 15 years.With some of the hottest tourist destinations, Mexico boasts of a wide collection of wonderful condo hotel properties, which are ideal for the real estate investors who want to buy Mexico condos for the dual purpose of vacationing and investment.

If there is any positive aspect to the foreclosure crisis that has gripped the U.S. in the past few years, it is that anyone interested in investing in real estate should be able to find appropriate properties at bargain basement prices.  Homes can be purchased from banks at far less than their actual value, and business properties are also as affordable.  And a very good reason to consider investing in south Texas real estate is because this area is one of the few in the country that is expecting steady population growth over the next several years.

Affordable Residential Real Estate

Unlike other areas of the country that have experienced such a population growth, south Texas real estate has not seen the median price of their residential homes skyrocket in proportion to that growth.  This raise in median home prices was seen in California, Florida, and other areas of job growth but has not been seen in areas of Texas.  This means that real estate is very affordable and ripe for investment dollars.

Qualified Buyers

In some areas of the country, there are affordable homes and jobs but this doesn’t mean that those jobs are paying enough for people to buy those homes.  When it comes to south Texas real estate, this just isn’t the case.  According to the Texas Housing Affordability Index, a Texas family earning the statewide median income has 152% of the income required to qualify for financing on the median-priced home. Nationally, families have about 16% more than what is required.  Nationally a median home value is 3.62 times the median household income, but in Texas, the median value is only 2.52.  This means that not only is there affordable housing in south Texas real estate but plenty of customers that can easily afford those homes as well.

Other Jobs on the Way

When an area of the country experiences a population growth, this means that there is a resultant strain on the area’s infrastructure and resources, but there are tax dollars to correct this.  This means jobs are then created to build and repair infrastructure and increase those resources.  This means that as the real estate becomes more valuable, more support is needed and then created, which means more jobs and more valuable real estate created.

Some people purchase a vacation home now, intending to move there after retirement but you should remember that your life and your circumstances may be very different when you reach retirement age.  When you’re at retirement age, your knees may not appreciate being in a “winter wonderland” when you have arthritis and poor circulation.  In order to make your vacation home a proper investment for your retirement years, you need to be practical and realistic.  Weather will be a major factor for you to consider when you reach retirement age.  Purchasing a vacation home for your enjoyment now can be a great investment for families who are looking forward to a permanent residence upon retirement.

Anyone considering an investment in real estate should consider south Texas.  The jobs and economy are headed there, the weather is beautiful, and everything is booming.  While no one wants to make light of the housing crisis that’s affecting so many millions, this does mean that there are opportunities for others who want to park their investment dollars in a sure bet.  And south Texas may be just the place they’re looking for!

California is, no doubt, the jewel on the Pacific coast of USA. It has enchanting natural beauty and abundant resources that have attracted thousands in search of a better life. California real estate investing, therefore, is the ideal way to capitalize on the great opportunities available in the state.
California has all the ingredients that make it attractive to those who wish to move in there. It offers a sophisticated urban lifestyle, great educational opportunities from kindergarten through university, good business environment, recreational facilities and artistic avenues. From the sun-kissed beaches of San Diego to the studios of Hollywood and the digital revolution spurred on in the Silicon Valley, all represent a fine blend of natural endowment and human ingenuity. The state’s population is multi-ethnic and the humming cultural scene reflects this trend.
Whether you wish to make California your home or earn returns that are inflation-proof, California real estate investing is one decision you would never regret.
The instant image that strikes one when discussing real estate in California is of the multimillion-dollar mansions of the rich and famous. Majestic in size and design and lavish in detailing, these homes represent the ultimate in luxury that money could buy. Does that mean a small investor can never buy property in California?
The answer is an emphatic no. Here are a few things one should keep in mind while scouting for California real estate investing opportunities.
• Localize your search and narrow down your criteria in specific terms, as it would make you focus only on those properties that meet your budgetary and other constraints. Not doing so would mean getting lost in the plethora of tempting properties that are well, not affordable by you.
• California has a well-regulated real estate industry. The real estate agents and brokers work under license from the state administration. Tie up with an experienced agent who has a large number of property listings to offer you.
• Look for properties in locations with good growth potential. They would be cheaper to buy but would show considerable appreciation later on. Inspect several housing options like single homes, condos, units and apartments. For commercial property, think of the business potential in the area. Arrange for an objective inspection to bring out the negative aspects, if any, in the property. In short, do thorough research before choosing the property.
• Familiarize yourself with the regulations governing real estate transactions. These formalities are meant to remove misconceptions and provide transparency in dealings. Never attempt to bypass any regulation for the sake of convenience.
