Fred User ID: 45186361 United States 08/18/2013 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The market literally caught fire 12 months ago and didn't stop until recently with some subtle increases in interest rates and the demand weakening. The government has done everything in it's power to ignite the market, but the miscalculated on several levels. The jobs don't sustain current RE prices and now we are on the brink, the brink of something catastrophic. Quoting: Who Me 1) Buying mortgage back securities by the FED to control interest rates. 2) Slowing down the process of short sales by the banks. 3) Slowing down the process of REO's by the banks. Although many other measures were put in place, this is literally what spurred consumer spending, new home construction, a massive demand in the market and values skyrocketing. As the owner of hundreds of properties as well as internet search platforms for real estate, I was able to determine that all demand literally stopped for real estate in July/August of 2008 just before the controlled collapse. This time it's a lot different. The buyers are gone for our properties, the search volume is down dramatically on our sites and something big is brewing. I don't know how the storm will look this time around, but my guess is October/November something very large will happen again. Don't be nervous, be prepared!! This is my suspicion in Northern California as well. Starting late July suddenly saw for sale signs popping up all over the place. Normal buyers have been largely priced out, prices will have to start dropping to sell this stuff. |

They will have to collapse the stock market to save the bond market beforehand (before the taper on sept 19). Real estate prices got a juice from once in a lifetime low interest rates, we'll never see rates again at that level. |

Sorry but if you look at what is going on you will see that what I am saying is correct. Rentals are a bubble...when people cant afford to buy they rent..investors are the real market for these homes..and they are turning them into rentals...like I said...very little upfront money from investors..financing at very low rates...renting at high rates with no outlay...it will fall apart. Do what you want but I would sit this one out... only people who own there property will be able to maintain.. and I don't mean people with a mortgage...I mean own. |

I've been on the institutional investment side of things (commercial real estate) for over 20 years now, and have to agree with the OP that something is brewing. In fact, other than Multifamily, the markets have yet to really recover since the fall in 2007, and they appear to be backtracking a bit in some areas of the country now. Liquidity is again becoming sparse, which is what occurred right before the last implosion. Last Edited by SaveUSa on 08/18/2013 09:04 PM Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |
