Low Mortgage Interest Rates, It Is a Bad Time to Buy A House By : Roberto Garabell The fluctuation in mortgage interest rates has implications for when it the best time to buy and the best time to refinance a home mortgage. It is a popular misconception that low interest rates make for a good buying opportunity. It is not. Buy when interest rates are high, and refinance when interest rates are low. Real Estate Only Goes Up... Not! By : Roberto Garabell The mantra of the National Association of Realtors is "real estate only goes up." This economic fallacy fosters the belief in future price increases and the limited risk of buying real estate. In 2006, prices in many markets began to fall. By 2008, the rate of price decline had greatly accelerated. This is dramatic proof that real estate does not always go up. Despite this obvious fact, the National Association of Realtors still tries to lure greedy buyers with fantasies of unlimited wealth in residential real estate.

But what makes Sicamous attract thousands of tourists every year is not only its natural splendor but also its real estate. The Relationship between Home Prices and Rent Amounts By : Brian S. Icenhower It is widely accepted that rent amounts are a fundamental factor in determining the value of housing. If housing prices rise too far out of line with rents, a combination of declines in home values and increases in rent amounts will ultimately occur and enable these two averages to correct back toward each other. Casualty Loss Can Generate Massive Tax Deductions By : Patrick O Connor A casualty loss may occur as a result of a flood, hurricane, tornado, mudslide or other natural disaster. The intuitive thought pattern is: “My apartment complex worth $5,000,000 suffered major damage totaling $1,500,000 for repairs and rent loss. Fortunately, I was completely covered for both physical damage and rent loss, other than a small deductible. There is clearly no casualty loss I can claim as a tax deduction, right?” Higher Interest Rates and Residential Real Estate Markets - What Would Happen? By : Roberto Garabell A key factor impacting the fundamental value of housing and thereby the bottom is interest rates. Higher interest rates would devastate residential real estate markets. When interest rates go up, the amounts borrowed go down assuming a consistent payment. As amounts borrowed go down, so do real estate prices. Debt-to-Income Ratios Impact on Residential Real Estate Markets By : Roberto Garabell The debt-to-income ratio is a measure of how far buyers are "stretching" to buy real estate. Buyers have historically committed larger sums to purchase real estate when prices are rising in order to capture the appreciation of rising prices. Conversely, buyers have historically committed smaller and smaller percentages of their income toward buying real estate when prices are declining because there is little incentive to overpay. Some may look at this phenomenon as a passive effect of the rise and fall of prices, but since buying is a choice, the fluctuation in debt-to-income ratios is an active force on prices in the market. Geographic Micro-Markets in Real Estate By : Brian S. Icenhower When seemingly endless statistical reports show steadily declining home values, it is essential to analyze geographic micro-markets to properly assess the value of residential properties. Hyperinflation and the Housing Market By : Roberto Garabell The Federal Reserve under Ben Bernanke began aggressively lowering interest rates at the end of 2007 in response to the severe economic downturn caused by the collapse of house prices and the related difficulties falling house prices had on the banks and other institutions that made loans using houses as collateral. Many are concerned that these policies will ignite a period of hyperinflation in the United States. Housing Market Bottom - Price-to-Income Ratio Estimates By : Roberto Garabell One method used to evaluation residential real estate prices is the price-to-income ratio. Since people borrow the vast majority of the funds necessary to purchase residential real estate, and this borrowing must be financed from current income, the ratio of house prices to rent is a useful barometer of market valuation. How to sell your property privately By : Property byowner With the current financial climate and a distinct lack of property buyers, today's home owner has to look at all possibilities if they want to sell their property quickly. This is a global issue, whether you are in the USA, UK or Spain property prices are dropping and buyers are few and far between, even with the interest rates at an all time low. The U.S. Housing and Economic Recovery Act By : Brian S. Icenhower On July 30, 2008 United States President George W. Bush signed into law the Housing Stimulus Bill H.R. 3221, now dubbed the “Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008”. This historic bill was previously passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 272-152 and in the Senate by a vote of 72-13. Housing Market Bottom - Price-to-Rent Ratio Estimates By : Roberto Garabell Comparative rent is the primary method of evaluating the fundamental value of any property. The price-to-rent ratio links the cost of ownership with the cost of rental. This link is direct because possession of property can be obtained by either method. The cost of ownership encapsulates all of the financing terms and other variables associated with possession of real estate as does the cost of rental. Price-to-rent ratio fluctuates over time as changes in the cost of ownership and terms of financing makes financing amounts vary and house prices vary as well. Housing Market Bottom - Price Action Estimates By : Roberto Garabell Most market participants focus on price action. The price-to-price feedback mechanism largely responsible for bubble market behavior gathers its strength from an awareness of market pricing, and the widespread belief that short-term, past price performance is predictive of long-term, future price performance. It is a fallacy that is often reinforced in the short-term as irrational exuberance takes over in a market, but over the long term, short-term price movements rarely correspond to long-term price trends, and when they do, it is only by chance. House Prices Fall - How Low Will They Go? By : Roberto Garabell Despite the difficulty in market forecasting, many who have examined the residential real estate market point to continued declines through 2009 and beyond. The most likely scenario has resale residential real estate markets bottoming in 2011 at prices 30% off the peak nationally. #New Developments Snagged up. By : Mark Taylor During this last year, work has been proceeding on a new housing development in the SE Salmon Arm Real Estate district. Future House Prices are Dependent upon Future Loan Terms By : Roberto Garabell Every homebuyer operating in the deflation of the Great Housing Bubble needs to consider what loan terms will be available in the future. At some point, most buyers become sellers. The future buyer will likely need to borrow most of the money necessary to complete a real estate transaction. The availability of credit and the loan terms this future buyer will face is the primary determinant of the price this buyer will pay for real estate. Housing Bailouts are False Hopes By : Roberto Garabell One of the more interesting phenomena observed during the bubble was the perpetuation of denial with rumors of homeowner bailouts. The bailout rumors were false hopes provided by the government to allow homeowners in hopeless situations a brief respite before they faced losing their homes in foreclosure.

Housing Bubbles as Cultural Pathology By : Roberto Garabell What is a Cultural Pathology? There are certain beliefs if widely held and acted upon by a group of people leads inevitably to collective suffering and personal destruction. The housing bubble was a form of cultural pathology. It spawned a number of beliefs and actions that caused people to lose their houses in foreclosure. Flip That House - Houses Were Traded Like Commodities By : Roberto Garabell Commodities are items of value and uniform quality produced in large quantities and sold in an open market. Although every residential real estate property is unique, these properties became uniformly desired by investors because all real estate prices rose during the Great Housing Bubble. The commoditization of real estate and the active, open-market trading it inspires caused houses to lose their identity as places to live and call home. Houses became tradable stucco boxes similar to baseball playing cards where buying and selling had nothing to do with possession and use and everything to do with making money in the transaction. Fundamental House Value, What Are Houses Really Worth? By : Roberto Garabell The fundamental value of all housing prices is equivalent rents. Rents define the fundamental value of real estate because rental is a direct proxy for ownership; both rental and ownership provide for possession of property. Most people believe comparable sales define the value of real estate. In reality, comparable sales measure the collective foolishness of buyers who often have no idea what a property is really worth. Atlanta Real Estate: Rent Versus Buy By : Michael Russell Mortgage programs offered so far typically try to lower the payment for about three years by cutting the interest temporarily and extending the loan to 40 years. He noted that is similar to many of the “teaser rate” loan products people got in the past few years that let people buy more houses than they could truly afford. So, a lower rate short term might bring the same kind of crisis later when the rates adjust upward.

But soon they will stabilize. Many experts suggest that now is the time for investment. This benefits the individual as well as the economy. The individual invests in property.
