Why Hasn’t the Housing Market Recovered?
- Employment uncertainty
- Tight Mortgage Credit
- Price pressure from foreclosures, distressed sales and “shadow inventory”
- Appraisals and the Home Valuation Code of Conduct – questionable automated valuations
- Confidence in the future
2012 Housing Outlook
Market Headwinds
Reasons for Optimism
- Distressed/Investor sales: ~1/3 U.S. market, ~10%-20% in Texas
- Tight lending & low appraisals 33% cancellation rate on new and existing contracts
- Confidence Crisis
- No feeling of “well being”
- Lost wealth: real estate & other assets
- Flat income (declining real income)
- Uncertain future: jobs, home values
- Inventory: new wave of foreclosures to hit market in 2012
- Move-up & move-over buyers can’t sell current home
- Move-out still renting can’t buy
- Political decisions, regulations and policies unknown & problematic
- Improvement in general economy
- Low interest rates but little impact
- Pent up demand by those who’ve postponed housing or doubled-up
- Markets bottomed will show statistical improvement
- Investors buoy sales but not prices
- Affordability: prices more in line with income
- Rent-Own “gap” closing
- Incentives on new homes substantial
- Population and household growth strong in Texas
