Every year there’s some aspect of the real estate market that becomes a focal point for the media. 几年前的问题是房地产市场能否从大衰退中复苏。 然后是历史上最低的利率和库存水平。 And more recently, it’s whether or not this hyper-paced, multiple-offer real estate market is heading towards another housing bubble. To explore this further, we’d like to introduce Windermere’s new Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner, who doesn’t believe there’s a cause for concern, for now.
I’m often asked if we are on the verge of another “bubble” bursting due to an overheated housing market. 我的回答是否定的,原因如下:
更少的鳍状肢: 丧失抵押品赎回权是房屋炒房者首选的房产类型,因为它们提供了更高的利润。 But with the continued drop in foreclosures, we’ve seen a marked slowdown in flipping. 在全国范围内,翻转房屋的比例从2014年的6.7%下降到今天的4%,预计这一比例将继续下降,这悦博体育市场将更加正常化。
贷款标准依然严格: 银行实际上从房地产市场的崩溃中吸取了教训,并使获得抵押贷款的资格变得相当困难。 即使像FHA这样对FICO要求不那么严格的低首付项目,也大大提高了标准,从而降低了向无法处理抵押贷款义务的借款人提供贷款的风险。
房价上涨了,但没有达到泡沫前的水平; Data provided by the 标普/情况下–希勒 Home Price Indices tells us that in the Seattle area, the bursting of the housing bubble led to a 33 percent drop in the index. 该指数确实大幅回升,但仍比之前的峰值低7%。
利率(最终)会上升。 一些人担心,加息会让市场失去一些动力,但就业的增长以及随后失业率的下降,将导致工资增长和收入增加,这将减轻加息带来的一些痛苦。
正如你所看到的,今天的房地产市场和经济环境与2007年导致房地产泡沫的条件大不相同。 Nobody can predict what’s going to happen with 100% certainty, but given the current state of things, I don’t believe there is a risk of history repeating itself in the foreseeable future.
