Here’s the latest stats! As expected, December was a bit slow but then again it always is. Part of it is seasonal and part are the higher rates with buyers on the fence. We did see an uptick on Luxury Home/Condo sales.

Why Today’s Housing Inventory Shows a Crash Isn’t on the Horizon – Shared Article

Source

Why Today’s Housing Inventory Shows a Crash Isn’t on the Horizon

You might remember the housing crash in 2008, even if you didn’t own a home at the time. If you’re worried there’s going to be a repeat of what happened back then, there’s good news – the housing market now is different from 2008.

One important reason is there aren’t enough homes for sale. That means there’s an undersupply, not an oversupply like the last time. For the market to crash, there would have to be too many houses for sale, but the data doesn’t show that happening.

Housing supply comes from three main sources:

  • Homeowners deciding to sell their houses
  • Newly built homes
  • Distressed properties (foreclosures or short sales)

Here’s a closer look at today’s housing inventory to understand why this isn’t like 2008.

Homeowners Deciding To Sell Their Houses

Although housing supply did grow compared to last year, it’s still low. The current months’ supply is below the norm. The graph below shows this more clearly. If you look at the latest data (shown in green), compared to 2008 (shown in red), there’s only about a third of that available inventory today.

So, what does this mean? There just aren’t enough homes available to make home values drop. To have a repeat of 2008, there’d need to be a lot more people selling their houses with very few buyers, and that’s not happening right now.

Newly Built Homes

People are also talking a lot about what’s going on with newly built houses these days, and that might make you wonder if homebuilders are overdoing it. The graph below shows the number of new houses built over the last 52 years:

The 14 years of underbuilding (shown in red) is a big part of the reason why inventory is so low today. Basically, builders haven’t been building enough homes for years now and that’s created a significant deficit in supply.

While the final blue bar on the graph shows that’s ramping up and is on pace to hit the long-term average again, it won’t suddenly create an oversupply. That’s because there’s too much of a gap to make up. Plus, builders are being intentional about not overbuilding homes like they did during the bubble.

Distressed Properties (Foreclosures and Short Sales)

The last place inventory can come from is distressed properties, including short sales and foreclosures. Back during the housing crisis, there was a flood of foreclosures due to lending standards that allowed many people to get a home loan they couldn’t truly afford.

Today, lending standards are much tighter, resulting in more qualified buyers and far fewer foreclosures. The graph below uses data from the Federal Reserve to show how things have changed since the housing crash:

This graph illustrates, as lending standards got tighter and buyers were more qualified, the number of foreclosures started to go down. And in 2020 and 2021, the combination of a moratorium on foreclosures and the forbearance program helped prevent a repeat of the wave of foreclosures we saw back around 2008.

The forbearance program was a game changer, giving homeowners options for things like loan deferrals and modifications they didn’t have before. And data on the success of that program shows four out of every five homeowners coming out of forbearance are either paid in full or have worked out a repayment plan to avoid foreclosure. These are a few of the biggest reasons there won’t be a wave of foreclosures coming to the market.

What This Means for You

Inventory levels aren’t anywhere near where they’d need to be for prices to drop significantly and the housing market to crash. According to Bankrate, that isn’t going to change anytime soon, especially considering buyer demand is still strong:

“This ongoing lack of inventory explains why many buyers still have little choice but to bid up prices. And it also indicates that the supply-and-demand equation simply won’t allow a price crash in the near future.”

Bottom Line

The market doesn’t have enough available homes for a repeat of the 2008 housing crisis – and there’s nothing that suggests that will change anytime soon. That’s why housing inventory tells us there’s no crash on the horizon.

Experts Project Home Prices Will Rise over the Next 5 Years – Shared Article

Source

Even with so much data showing home prices are actually rising in most of the country, there are still a lot of people who worry there will be another price crash in the immediate future. In fact, a recent survey from Fannie Mae shows that 23% of consumers think prices will fall over the next 12 months. That’s nearly one in four people who are dealing with that fear – maybe you’re one of them.

To help ease that concern, here’s what the experts say will happen with home prices not just next year, but over the next five years.

Experts Project Ongoing Appreciation

While seeing a small handful of expert opinions may not be enough to change your mind, hopefully, a larger group of experts will reassure you. Here’s that larger group.

The Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES) from Pulsenomics is a great resource to show what experts forecast for home prices over a five-year period. It includes projections from over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts. And the results from the latest quarterly release show home prices are expected to go up every year through 2027 (see graph below):

 

And while the projected increase in 2024 isn’t as large as 2023, remember home price appreciation is cumulative. In other words, if these experts are correct after your home’s value rises by 3.32% this year, it should go up by another 2.17% next year.

If you’re worried home prices are going to fall, here’s the big takeaway. Even though prices vary by local area, experts project they’ll continue to rise across the country for years to come at a pace that’s more normal for the market.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you’re not convinced yet, maybe these numbers will get your attention. They show how a typical home’s value could change over the next few years using the expert projections from the HPES. Check out the graph below:

 

In this example, let’s say you bought a $400,000 home at the beginning of this year. If you factor in the forecast from the HPES, you could potentially accumulate more than $71,000 in household wealth over the next five years.

Bottom Line

If you’re someone who’s worried home prices are going to fall, rest assured a lot of experts say it’s just the opposite – nationally, home prices will continue to climb not just next year, but for years to come. If you have any questions or concerns about what’s next for home prices in your local area, connect with a real estate agent.

My two cents – we see the market soften around the holidays every year, so part of this is seasonal. The other part are higher rates than buyers are used to, so we’re slowly seeing buyers to reviewing their new budget and find homes in their new price range.

Market Update –

Hello Caton Team Friends,

Here is our monthly market update for San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties:

Dated 9.30.23

And here is a little treat for anyone who reads beyond this chart.

Silicon Valley Real Estate in 2023 has been one of the most interesting years in my career. These interest rates are something else. We’re starting to see the market soften – because it has to. For instance – It’s a $2000 dollar a month difference between a 3% rate and a 7% rate on a 1 Million Dollar property – with 20% down and a 30-year fixed interest rate. That’s a decent amount of money and it’s going to affect purchase power. So yes I expect the market to soften.

Soften like butter – not crash. The Caton Team believes now is always a good time to buy or sell Real Estate. Now you ask? Yes, because it depends on your personal situation and needs. Life happens every day, situations change in a heartbeat. What we do know is this – we can do the best we can in the market we’re in.

Interests Rates won’t be high forever, price reductions won’t happen forever. Overbidding and multiple offers are still happening – on some properties – but not on every property. The Caton Team has had great success with our buyers and sellers this Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons, among all the interest rate changes. So if buying or selling is something you’re chewing on – reach out and let’s chat. It’s either a good time for your Real Estate goals or not – and only you know what that looks like. 

Let us know how we can be of service – we love what we do and we’re happy to work with you.

The Caton Team | 650.799.4333 | Info@TheCatonTeam.com 

Right now, I’m seeing great opportunities in the condo/townhome market – if a buyer can swing the higher rates and HOA dues – a condo/townhome is a great way to break into the California Real Estate Market. We’re seeing a lot of price adjustments on single-family homes priced at $1.5 Million + as sellers find that happy medium or opt to rent the home out. We’re here to help you find that meeting of the minds. Reach out when you’re ready to chat.
