Have you been waiting to buy or sell a house? Are you tired of renting and have been waiting to purchase your dream home? Brian and Bo give you their thoughts on the housing market so you can make sense of the current housing environment.
The guys first look at few explanations for the suppressed housing market we have experienced the past few years by analyzing an article by Paula Pant, 5 Stats You Need To Know About The Housing Recovery.
Brian and Bo also look into an article from Tim Manni simply titled, Why Aren’t More Young People Buying Homes? Here is what they found:
Up to this point, the guys only discussed the symptoms of the market. They continue by giving their thoughts on future interest rate environments and forecast how interest rates may affect the housing market moving forward. They look into the article, Why interest rates may stay very low for a lot longer, written by Tom Petruno.
The article touches on the world debt crisis and how it contributes to lower domestic interest rates. The author even mentions PIMCO co-founder Bill Gross’ estimate of the Fed’s rate being no higher than 2% through the end of the decade! It seems that the Fed is still gunning for major economic growth and willing to maintain suppressed rates if they see any sign of an economic slowdown. Additionally, the overseas central banks comprised specifically of the EBC and Bank of Japan have shown no signs of increased rates.
So, what did this mean for the future of domestic housing prices and interest rates? With no foreign pressure to increase domestic rates on the Fed, we should see the current trend continue, and we could expect thirty year mortgage rates from 4% to 5% for years to come, if all else holds equal. This means the marketplace for new loans could remain very affordable going forward, which would drive even more buyers to the market.
Check back next week, that’s right, next week, for a follow up on this topic as well as further discussion on strategies for entering and exiting the marketplace and how to make home ownership as affordable as possible.
