Crystal Ball Finance: Playing The Housing-market Bubble
Chances are that in many of your recent conversations with friends and co-workers regarding real estate prices, the word "bubble" has been used. With the affordability of houses blown out of the stratosphere (especially in metropolitan markets), scores of people are trying to stockpile cash in order to prepare for the next housing crash.
While almost all Americans are convinced of the inevitable impending fall of housing prices, how do you know when to pull the trigger? What if you buy at a depressed price and the prices continue to fall? This article will present a few issues to consider when playing the housing bubble. An informed buyer is a good buyer.
The population of bubble-campers, those who are ready to pounce on the real-estate market once the bubble pricks, is steadily increasing. These people are cashing in on whatever real-estate they own (if they own any) and are renting, waiting for the day they can laugh at those who held onto their overpriced abodes. Waiting for the softening of the housing markets, they are accumulating cash and counting on the forecasts of housing market prices by Wall Street pundits to ring true.
With housing sales already slowing down, bubble-campers are already beginning to pat themselves on the back. Even builder Toll Brothers has announced officially that sales are expected to decline substantially this year. In the hottest real estate markets across the nation, foreclosures and delinquent payments have arisen dramatically.
This makes a housing crash inevitable right? Not necessarily. With professional investors and other bubble-campers on the sidelines, these newly available properties could see their prices supported. Professionals search for cash-flow opportunities and, since housing prices have already depressed this year, could find today's prices a good deal. Entry of professional investors is bad for bubble-campers; widespread purchase of property will act as a tourniquet to the continued downfall of housing prices. Bubble-campers who follow what professionals are doing and are sick of renting will also recognize this and could follow suit.
On the bubble-campers side, however, history has proven that inflated housing markets do usually come down to earth. Take Los Angeles for example. The last decade (1996-2006) has seen tremendous growth in the housing market. This has not always been so; an average house purchased in Los Angeles dropped, in nominal terms, 21% between 1990 and 1996. Factoring in inflation, the percentage decline was really a bit below 34%.
Another encouraging factor for bubble-campers is that current housing prices are not declining sharply due to sellers holding steady. Since sales volume has decreased dramatically and prices have decreased only slightly, many brokerages, forecasters and analysts believe that buyers are negotiating more but sellers are refusing to settle. This causes houses to stay on the market longer. Since this refusal to sell is unsustainable, we will likely see sellers begin revising their prices downward en masse.
Obviously, timing the market is almost impossible. Short-term market timing can cause bubble-campers to get burned by housing price fluctuations. If a buyer holds long-term, however, he will find that long-term prices smooth out any dramatic price shifts. Real estate pundits forecast housing prices to go down, but nobody really knows the real-estate price magic sauce; it is dependent on behavioral finance, behavioral psychology, and macroeconomic policy. The most anybody can do is to read as much as possible on the subject and hopefully when it comes time to pull the trigger and buy real-estate, they will be more informed and make a more knowledgeable and financially sound decision.

Blown $7.99 Former CIA analyst Francine Mathews has created “one of the toughest female secret agents we’ve seen in a long time.”* Using her firsthand expertise of international espionage, Mathews offers another brilliantly realized suspense novel so intense, so authentic, it lethally blurs the line between fact and fiction. In Blown , Caroline Carmichael returns in a white-hot tale of terror on the streets of Washington, where one woman must gamble her life to save her country. As thousands of runners line up for the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., no one suspects that in a matter of hours the event will become a race between life and death. CIA analyst Caroline Carmichael is about to tender her resignation, when the first reports of a terrorist attack pour in–and she instantly recognizes the hand of an enemy she’s battled for years: the 30 April Organization. The neo-Nazi group is alive and well and operating in the United States, assassinating top officials and abducting a vulnerable child from the front ranks of a state funeral. When Caroline’s husband, Eric, is arrested in Germany as a 30 April operative, Caroline has no choice but to take to the streets–and target the evil herself. Eric has worked as a “legend” for years–a false identity so perfect, the CIA believes he’s dead–and gone deep undercover within the terrorist group Caroline is determined to destroy. Now his cover’s been blown, and Eric’s intimate knowledge of 30 April’s plans makes him a target for both sides: the killers he’s betrayed, and the American government he’s sworn to protect. Torn between a desire to save her husband and her duty to save her country, Caroline is drawn back into a treacherous labyrinth where trusting others is as good as suicide. For the enemy this time wears a familiar face: that of an American patriot, waving his flag alongside his gun. To stem disaster, Caroline has only one choice: to betray everyone in which she believes–or everyone she loves. For an agent without cover–an agent who’s blown–is worse than betrayed: she’s as good as dead. * USA Today From the Hardcover edition. |
