  25. Price Decline Potential? If prices fall … more underwater homeowners … more default risk More risk to decline when there is a bubble Less risk to decline after a crash Many metrics suggest price decline potential is minimal with more price increase potential Yet Banks/Regulators have been pursuing … easy lending during bubble and tight lending after crash
  26. Home Price vs Rent … Price Change Potential?(index = 100 in 1980) Rent is CPI Primary Rent and Price is NAR median price
  27. CPI Rent is Rising…Biggest Weight to CPI(% change from 12 month ago)

  35. Investors want Deals All-cash record high at 30% to 35% of all sales Multiple bidding becoming common on foreclosed properties (though not on short-sales) Financial asset recovery helping with cash Rental income … beats putting money in the bank Anticipating rising home prices Opens up lending … more home sales Boost consumer confidence … more home sales Further boost home prices and rate of return on investment Hedge against future inflation … alternative to expensive gold Not enough foreclosed homes for sale?

Improving Factors for Higher Home Sales Improving Factors Job Creation (though slowly) Solid stock market recovery from 2008 Rising rents and larger pool of qualified renters Pent-up Release of Household Formation Smart money chasing real estate Potential Huge Positive … Lending opens up Potential Huge Negative … Washington policy
  47. The End of Strangeness Let the Prices Recover without obstacles If 5% gain in home price 2 million fewer underwater homeowners Bank lending opens up Consumer confidence about home buying improves Strangeness is past and back towards normalcy But what could be the obstacles QRM 20% downpayment rules, MID, Property tax deduction, capital gains, still lower loan limit Rising mortgages rates (market forces of higher inflation and high budget deficit)
