Comments on: The Difference Between a Real Estate Recovery and Stopping The Flow of Blood http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/housing-general/the-difference-between-a-real-estate-recovery-and-stopping-the-flow-of-blood/ Real Estate Blog, Mortgage, and Development News Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:35:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Arlington VA Custom http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/housing-general/the-difference-between-a-real-estate-recovery-and-stopping-the-flow-of-blood/comment-page-1/#comment-416424 Arlington VA Custom Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:10:10 +0000 http://www.therealestatebloggers.com/2009/12/29/the-difference-between-a-real-estate-recovery-and-stopping-the-flow-of-blood/#comment-416424 I agree with the comments listed above--people DO still want their own custom modular homes, even if they can't necessarily afford it. Even though the economy has been in a downturn, people still need homes to live in. It seems that the real estate and real estate development industry will only bounce back once Americans are back to work, and can pay off loans received for custom home building. But at the same time, it largely depends on the city--Virginia custom home builders are busy working away to developing new custom homes for the many people who move to the DC Metro area each year. What an interesting entry. Thanks for your input! I agree with the comments listed above–people DO still want their own custom modular homes, even if they can't necessarily afford it.

Part of the problem is that the borrowers who were foreclosed on are unable participate in the recovery. Also with the lending guidelines becoming more realistic many people don't qualify, even for government insured loan programs. Properties in Santa Cruz have dropped but not as bad as other areas in California. Many homes are still priced over 1 million. It can be a challenge to find buyers with a few hundred grand to allocate to a home purchase. People still desire to own homes.

If the government keeps spending money on stimulus and if we keep printing more money to pay our debts, won't this have an inflationary effect? Are we going to live the 1970's all over again? I had a conversation yesterday with a person who told me that they sold their house in the 1990's for 13 times more than they paid for it in the 1960's. That is some serious inflation.

As a nation, we're going to be walking on eggshells for a while to come. However, there are certain residential real estate markets that have been doing OK recently and should continue to grow. Hopefully the market will turn around as a whole but until that time comes, investors in residential and commercial markets should be skeptical.

In the Commercial Real Estate Market, we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems to be about a year off. The big struggle we see right now is all of those Commercial Leases that were signed about 5 years ago are coming due and unfortunately, the market has a completely different face. Multi-Units for Sale with documented cash flow and rental properties appear to be hot commodities at this time: http://tinyurl.com/yhuv6rb In the Chester County region of PA, we see the residential market slowly rejuvenating, however, pricing is not coming alongside unfortunately.

Residential real estate seems to have a hospital stay through April when the insurance coverage runs out.... or when the home buyer tax credits go away and the Fed stops buying mortgage backed securities. That will be the true test of how the patient is doing. I expect things to be a little wobbley at first, but at least we're past the critical stage.

The real estate economy really is like a patient who you cannot get to stop bleeding. I feel it is due to the inherit risk that is still rampant in the market and the abuse that banks put so many people through. Only time will tell how long these "wounds" of the market will go unchecked. I like your analogy in this article. The real estate economy really is like a patient who you cannot get to stop bleeding.

You have to crawl before you can walk. Right now, at least in Austin, many people would claim it's a buyers market because you can get a lot of house for your buck with falling prices. However, you have to be able to stimulate some demand and stabilize the market. Yeah, it's business cycle this, business cycle that--but the question isn't if it will turn back up, but when.

It really does make sense that if we can stabilize the housing prices now, it will help stabilize peoples confidence and in turn, get the market going again. We just have to be careful not to stop the fall of prices to the point that they remain at an artificial level, because it will eventually have to come back down to the real level.

Lets not pretend that rival political parties are not playing a role in distorting/disguising data. We have seen no sign that there has been an improvement in the economy, and a slow down in the number of foreclosures can be directly linked to the Fed halting or delaying these proceedings from the banks/lenders. So are the numbers related to real estate in the current economy being manipulated to build "consumer confidence"? Obtaining a viable news source would also be a welcome addition.
