Part Two: Where is the market headed and what to anticipate in 2010

Friday, February 26th, 2010 at 4:32pm. 115 Views, 0 Comments.

As a continuation of my previous blog post on Lawrence Yun's speach at the National Real Estate Cyber Convention, here are some further highlights and what I think are interesting tidbits of information about the state of the current housing market and predictions for the year ahead:

  • The decline in housing prices is destroying middle class wealth.
  • Average home price to income is now below historical levels.
  • More importantly, the average mortgage payment to income (by middle income person buying a medium priced home) is below historical rate. This implies an overcorrection in the market. Therefore a stimulus is actually justified in the form of the tax credit in order to prop up the overcorrection.
  • If consumers feel more comfortable that their home prices are…


What to anticipate in 2010? Where is the Boca Raton real estate market headed? Part One

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 at 7:24pm. 170 Views, 0 Comments.

I am participating this week in the National Real Estate Cyber Convention and just attended a keynote presentation by Lawrence Yun, the chief economist of the 1.2 Million member National Association of Realtors and widely considered one of the top ten economic forecasters in the country. Here are some of the highlights of Mr. Yun's very interesting talk about what to anticipate in 2010. This is part one of my recap of his lecture. The second part will be covered in a separate blog post:

  • Predictions are for 15% higher unit sales in 2010 which will cause inventory levels to stabilize.
  • 2 Million first time buyers are expected to take the 1st time buyer credit to date
  • An additional 2.4 Million (both 1st time and move up buyers) will take the credit by June 30…

Buy your Boca Raton Real Estate now as interest rates dip below 5%

Friday, February 12th, 2010 at 11:41am. 95 Views, 0 Comments.

According to a survey released by Freddie Mac, interest rates on 30 year fixed rate mortgages averaged 4.97% for the week ending February 11, marking the third week this year that rates have fallen below 5%. A year ago rates were slightly higher, at 5.16%

15 year fixed rate mortgages averaged 4.34% this week as compared to 4.81% a year ago.

These low rates combined with increased affordability (i.e. LOW PRICES) hopefully will encourage continued activity in our local markets. Here in the Boca Raton/ Delray Beach/ Boynton Beach area we are closing significantly more deals than this time last year. This is really a great time to buy real estate in the Boca Raton area.
