WHY REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS MATTER!

A Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) can tell you what buyers recently paid for homes similar to yours, but that's not all you need to know to choose the right listing price. You need to know the market's appetite for your home, and that can only come from an overview of your community's current market conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Market conditions are like a weather report; it helps you predict what the current crop of buyers will do. Using this knowledge, you can price your home to sell quickly, and for the most money possible.

Why is a quick sale important? The right price generates a bumper crop of buyers. If you price your home too high compared to other similar homes, you'll appear to be testing the market. Buyers will assume that you're going to be too difficult in negotiations.

Here's what you need to know - what kind of a market are you in? Market conditions are formed by buyer attitudes, made sunny or cloudy by jobs, incomes, mortgage interest rates, and overall consumer confidence.

It's possible that your community could have buyer's and seller's markets simultaneously. For example, your neighborhood may be hot, while the subdivision a mile away is stone cold.

A seller's market is characterized by confident buyers, short "days on market" and low inventory levels of less than six months on hand. This usually results in rising prices.

A buyer's market is characterized by longer "days on market," and high inventory levels of seven months' supply or more. To get buyers to come in from out of the storm, sellers must offer incentives such as seller-paid closing costs or lower prices.

The market conditions will tell you the long and short-term trends. If the market is heating up, you can ask a little more for your home. If the market is cooling, you may need to price your home slightly under the market in order to attract more buyers.

One thing you absolutely should never do is ignore market conditions. It's said the market is always right. If you price your home too high, you'll know when you get few to no showings.

That's why it's important to ask your real estate agent for occasional market updates as well as a fresh CMA. You'll get a better idea of what your home will sell for and how long it will take to sell.

Miami a Top 10 Global Destination for Commercial Real Estate Investment Capital

Miami a Top 10 Global Destination for Commercial Real Estate Investment Capital



On the heels of a very strong 7-year run of foreign capital buying Miami condos and homes, Miami has something new to be cheerful about -- the growth of foreign real estate investment capital now pouring money into Miami's commercial real estate sector.

According to the latest research from global property advisor CBRE Group, worldwide commercial real estate investment activity reached $407 billion in the first half of 2015, the strongest first half (H1) to a year since 2007, and up 14 per cent year over year. 
 
The Miami metro area ranked 7th among the world's leading global capital destinations, just ahead of Tokyo and just behind Washington D.C., with a total of $7.7 billion of foreign and domestic investment during the first half of 2015. This is the first time since the global financial crisis that the Miami metro area was among the top 10 global real estate investment destinations.           
 
Though rapid growth has been maintained for several years, the rate of growth slowed in H1 2015 and was vastly different at a regional and country level. The Americas experienced growth of 31 per cent year-over-year, while a strong dollar impacted activity in EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and Asia Pacific (APAC). In dollar terms, EMEA was up just 5 per cent from H1 2014, with APAC down 19 per cent year-over-year. When measured in local currency EMEA grew by 25%, while a decline in APAC was more muted at 9% year-on-year.
 
Last year, the Miami metro area ranked 12th globally, with a year-end total US $13.1 billion invested from foreign and domestic sources. The Miami metro area also continues to be a particularly attractive destination for international capital, rising from 49th place in 2013 to 19th place in H1 2015, with a total of $913 million invested from international sources so far this year. 
 
The U.S., U.K. and Germany remain, by far, the largest CRE investment markets globally. A combined total of $301 billion was transacted in these three countries in H1 2015--representing an unusually high (74 per cent) share of the global market and 10 per cent above the long-term average of 64 per cent.
 

Iryna Pylypchuk

"Capital flows into real estate are well supported. Even ignoring rental value growth, real estate offers a 'spread' over bond rates of between 200 to 300 bps across global markets and capital will continue to be attracted to the sector," said Iryna Pylypchuk, Director, Global Research, CBRE. "The influx of new sources of capital targeting real estate as part of long-term liability-matching allocation strategies is helping to extend the investment cycle. At the same time, this pushes the 'old capital' into niche sectors, prompting expansion of the investment universe."
 
The recent economic slowdown in Asia has led to China, Singapore and South Korea dropping down in the top 20 market rankings during H1 2015. Canada was the only non-Asian market to experience a notable fall in the rankings, with its western regions relying heavily on oil for economic activity, weaker occupier fundamentals slowed investment activity.  Rapid uplifts in investment in Europe's recovery markets Italy, Ireland and Spain meant significantly improved positions in the rankings.
 
Cross-border investors have grown in influence to become an important driver of CRE investment globally, particularly in the last 24 months, and are changing the shape of the market. The world's leading destinations, in terms of global capital flows, is a balanced mix of cities across all main regions--London was the most targeted city by cross-border investors in H1 2015, followed by New York and Paris. This contrasts with the top destinations for overall investment where the bias is strongly on the U.S.--New York was the leading city overall, followed by London and Los Angeles.
 
At a regional level, the influence of global investors varies from as little as 10 per cent in the Americas, to almost 50 per cent of the market in EMEA. The largest contributor to these flows during H1 2015 was the U.S., accounting for a stand-out $25.4 billion of investment outside its home market. The next three largest sources were Canada ($8.5 billion), Germany ($7.1 billion) and China ($6.6 billion), with their combined volume still considerably less than the U.S.
 
"The influence of global capital is growing to the point that these investors are becoming the "market-maker" in setting the price in the most desired and liquid markets across the globe. Within this growing wave of cross-border capital, there are elements of old and new," said Chris Ludeman, Global President, Capital Markets, CBRE.
 
"A recurrent wave of U.S. equity funds continues to explore global opportunities in search of higher returns off the back of strong buying power of the U.S. dollar. German capital is searching for steady investments outside their home market--a notable shift in strategy post-GFC. Despite low oil prices, Middle Eastern buyers remain active, with the investor base growing and strategies targeted at greater geographic and sector diversification.
 
"There are numerous new sources of capital that have emerged only recently. With its commodity driven economy slowing, Canadian investors have sought opportunities abroad. The lower oil price has triggered and accelerated global deployment of capital from the Middle East's non-institutional investors, particularly private high net worth. However, of all the new sources, Asia has been the most captivating due to the size, speed and potential long-term impact brought by the recent regulatory changes; this has allowed many of the local pensions funds and insurance companies to invest globally for the first time," Mr. Ludeman added.

When applying for a bank loan, ask these 3 questions

One of the markers of this post-recession, so-called recovery has been the practice of de-leveraging. Across the economy, from consumers to businesses large and small, debt has become something to avoid.

This trend has manifested in a dramatic drop in bank borrowing by small companies.

Indeed, for more than a half decade, survey after survey has shown that less than 5 percent of business owners report that their borrowing requirements have not been met, while the majority say emphatically they don’t want or need a loan. Consequently, there’s a pretty good chance your business hasn’t made a loan request to a bank in a while.

But the economy will eventually kick into an expansion phase, and what has become no less than a de facto moratorium on borrowing won’t last forever. And since most small business growth capital comes from bank loans, even for well-capitalized firms, it’s always good to revisit a few banking relationship fundamentals.

But don’t worry. If you’ve never asked a banker for a loan, or if it’s been a while, getting a bank loan is a lot like the process of qualifying a prospective customer.

For example, you want to know these three things:

1. Who decides?

You have the right to ask who is going to make the decision on your loan. Can your loan officer decide, or will it go to the local loan committee or somewhere else? Why do you care? The more people involved in the loan approval process increases the scrutiny of your deal, which means more questions and more time for you to budget from proposal to answer.

2. What do they need?

Your banker will ask for personal and business financial information. They might accept last year’s business numbers, but they could also ask for an interim report. Depending on the size of your request and your plans for the money, they may ask for a business plan. If the loan is for real estate, a current appraisal will be required.

Don’t give the bank more than they ask for, but give them everything they ask for. Remember, the quicker your banker gets the information, the quicker you’ll get an answer.

3. How do they want it?

Ask your banker what information can be presented verbally and what needs to be in writing, whether hard copy or electronic. Whether you’re borrowing $5,000 for a computer or $5 million to buy out a competitor, knowing as much as you can about the loan approval process will significantly improve your chances of not only getting a quick answer, but a yes.

Write this on a rock

Qualify a bank like you do customers, and be sure to do your homework.

Aumenta el volumen en dólares de ventas internacionales como compradores más exclusivos entrar en el mercado!

Mientras que las ventas unitarias totales de los compradores de vivienda internacionales disminuyeron respecto al año pasado, el volumen total de las ventas en dólares aumentó 13 por ciento, según la Asociación Nacional de Realtors ® 2015 Perfil de Adquisición de Casas Actividad de Clientes Internacionales.

Para el periodo de abril 2014 a marzo de 2015, el total de las ventas internacionales se estimaron en $ 104 000 000 000, en comparación con la estimación del año anterior de $ 92.2 mil millones. Esto representa el 8 por ciento del volumen total en dólares las ventas de casas.

"En 2014, las ventas de transacción para los compradores de fuera de los EE.UU. cayeron un 10 por ciento, posiblemente debido al fortalecimiento del dólar estadounidense en relación con las monedas internacionales y el debilitamiento de las economías extranjeras", dijo el economista jefe de la NAR, Lawrence Yun. "Sin embargo, la cantidad de dinero gastado se ha incrementado, lo que significa que los compradores internacionales en los EE.UU. se han convertido en un grupo de alto nivel de los compradores, gastar más dinero en un menor número de hogares".

En 2014, cinco países representaron el 51 por ciento de todas las compras efectuadas por los compradores internacionales: China, Canadá, México, la India y el Reino Unido. Por primera vez, los compradores procedentes de China superaron todos los otros países en términos de unidades adquiridas y volumen en dólares, la compra de un estimado de 28,6 mil millones dólares el valor de la propiedad. Los compradores de Canadá siguieron con $ 11,2 mil millones en compras, seguido por la India con $ 7.9 mil millones, México con $ 4.9 mil millones y el Reino Unido, con $ 3,8 mil millones.

compradores internacionales

Los compradores internacionales tienden a comprar propiedades más caras con el precio de compra promedio es de $ 499.600, en comparación con los EE.UU. precio de la vivienda media total de 255.600 dólares. Los compradores chinos comprados usualmente las propiedades más caras, a un precio promedio de $ 831,800.

Treinta y cinco por ciento de Realtors ® informó trabajar con un cliente internacional en 2014, por encima del 28 por ciento en 2013. Alrededor del 46 por ciento de las transacciones internacionales reportados estaban destinados para las residencias primarias, el 20 por ciento para los alquileres de viviendas, y 26 por ciento para los alquileres de inversión, vacaciones casas o ambos. Los compradores mundiales, también han comprado propiedades para alquileres comerciales y como residencias para los niños que estudian en instituciones educativas de Estados Unidos. Compradores indios eran los más propensos a comprar una residencia primaria (79 por ciento), mientras que los compradores canadienses eran más propensos a comprar la propiedad como una casa de vacaciones (47 por ciento).

Mientras que los clientes internacionales de compradores adquirieron la propiedad en todo el país, cuatro estados representaron la mitad de todas las ventas internacionales: Florida, California, Texas y Arizona. Florida sigue siendo el principal destino para los compradores internacionales, reclamando una participación del 21 por ciento de todas las compras en el exterior; California ocupa el segundo lugar con una participación de 16 por ciento, Texas, con 8 por ciento y Arizona con un 5 por ciento. Los compradores chinos tienden a gravitar hacia la costa oeste, que ofrece oportunidades amplias de educación, empresariales y comerciales, mientras que los canadienses que buscan oportunidades de vacaciones de invierno se centraron en el suroeste y Florida.

La mayoría de las compras internacionales (55 por ciento) se hicieron con todo el dinero en efectivo, en comparación con alrededor del 25 por ciento de todas las compras realizadas por los compradores nacionales. Financiamiento hipotecario tiende a ser un problema para los clientes internacionales no residentes debido a la falta de una historia basada en los Estados Unidos de crédito o número de seguro social, las dificultades para documentar los requisitos de la hipoteca, y los perfiles financieros que pueden ser diferentes de los que normalmente presentado a entidades financieras en el hogar residentes.

"Trabajar con un Realtor ® ofrece a los compradores de todo el mundo una ventaja considerable", dijo el presidente de NAR Chris Polychron, agente ejecutivo de 1st Choice Realty en Hot Springs, Arkansas. "Realtors ® que han completado la designación Especialista en Propiedad Certificado Internacional de la NAR han obtenido especializada formación y están mejor preparados para ayudar a los clientes con los desafíos únicos de ser un comprador internacional de la propiedad ".

Surging U.S. Property Prices Boost Americans’ Home Equity

The housing recovery is giving Americans a boost to their net worth.

Home equity in the first quarter rose to $11.7 trillion, the highest since 2007, according to a Federal Reserve report released Thursday in Washington. Real estate equity accounted for almost 14 percent of households’ net worth, the biggest share since 2008.

A surge in home prices in the past three years is helping Americans rebuild their wealth after the real estate crash stripped more than $5 trillion from household balance sheets, according to Fed data. During the last boom, from 2001 to 2006, equity as a portion of net worth averaged about 20 percent.

 

“Before the financial crisis, home equity had been the primary wealth-building vehicle for American households, particularly middle-class households,” said Christopher Low, chief economist at financial-products provider FTN Financial. “Even though it’s rising, families already have lost a decade of savings.”

The median U.S. home price has surged 42 percent since the start of the recovery, to $219,400 in April from a 10-year low of $154,600 in January 2012, according to the National Association of Realtors. Home equity is the value of real estate minus mortgages.

Home prices are being helped by the strength of the labor market. About 280,000 jobswere created in May, the most in five months, the Commerce Department said last week. Demand for workers is pushing incomes higher. The median annual household income was $54,578 in April, about 0.6 percent higher than the previous month, according to Sentier Research LLC.

Home Prices Projected to Increase by 5.1 Percent Year Over Year by February 2016––

CoreLogic^® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider, today released its February 2015 CoreLogic Home Price Index (HPI^®) which shows that home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased by 5.6 percent in February 2015 compared to February 2014. This change represents three years of consecutive year-over-year increases in home prices nationally. On a month-over-month basis, home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased by 1.1 percent in February 2015 compared to January 2015.*

Including distressed sales, 26 states and the District of Columbia were at or within 10 percent of their peak prices. Six states, including Colorado (+9.8 percent), New York (+8.2 percent), North Dakota (+7.7 percent), Texas (+8.5 percent), Wyoming (+8.4 percent) and Oklahoma (+5.2 percent), reached new home price highs since January 1976 when the CoreLogic HPI started.

Excluding distressed sales, home prices increased by 5.8 percent in February 2015 compared to February 2014 and increased by 1.5 percent month over month compared to January 2015. Also excluding distressed sales, all states and the District of Columbia showed year-over-year home price appreciation in February. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.

The CoreLogic HPI Forecast indicates that home prices, including distressed sales, are projected to increase by 0.6 percent month over month from February 2015 to March 2015 and on a year-over-year basis by 5.1 percent** from February 2015 to February 2016. Excluding distressed sales, home prices are expected to increase by 0.5 percent month over month from February 2015 to March 2015 and by 4.8 percent** year over year from February 2015 to February 2016. The CoreLogic HPI Forecast is a projection of home prices using the CoreLogic HPI and other economic variables. Values are derived from state-level forecasts by weighting indices according to the number of owner-occupied households for each state.

“Since the second half of 2014, the dwindling supply of affordable inventory has led to stabilization in home price growth with a particular uptick in low-end home price growth over the last few months,” said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. “From February 2014 to February 2015, low-end home prices increased by 9.3 percent compared to 4.8 percent for high-end home prices, a gap that is three times the average historical difference.”

“This is the hottest home price appreciation prior to the spring selling season in nine years,” said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “Assuming a benign interest rate environment and continued strong consumer confidence, we expect home prices to rise by an additional five percent over the next twelve months.”

Highlights as of February 2015:

• Including distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: Colorado (+9.8 percent), South Carolina (+9.3), Michigan (+8.5 percent), Texas (+8.5 percent) and Wyoming (+8.4 percent).
• Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: South Carolina (+9.7 percent), New York (+9.2 percent), Colorado (+9 percent), Texas (+7.9 percent) and Florida (+7.8 percent).
• Including distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the national HPI (from April 2006 to February 2015) was -12.2 percent. Excluding distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change for the same period was -7.8 percent.
• Including distressed sales, only Connecticut at -0.9 percent experienced a decline in home prices.
• The five states with the largest peak-to-current declines, including distressed transactions, were: Nevada (-35.4 percent), Florida (-32.4 percent), Rhode Island (-29.6 percent), Arizona (-28.4 percent) and Connecticut (-24.7 percent).
• Including distressed sales, the U.S. has experienced 36 consecutive months of year-over-year increases.
• Ninety-two of the top 100 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) measured by population showed year-over-year increases in January 2015. The eight CBSAs that showed year-over-year declines were: Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD; Philadelphia, PA; Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT; New Orleans-Metairie, LA; Rochester, NY; Worcester, MA-CT.; Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY; and New Haven-Milford, CT.

*January data was revised. Revisions with public records data are standard, and to ensure accuracy, CoreLogic incorporates the newly released public data to provide updated results.
** The forecast accuracy represents a 95-percent statistical confidence interval with a +/- 2.0 percent margin of error for the index including distressed sales and a +/- 2.0 percent margin of error for the index excluding distressed sales.
