Thread: The housing wrench

Capacity in houses is way over supply.

Going to end badly.

Sell your house and rent - now. :shock:

an anticipated crisis is not a crisis.

buy on water....prices may not dip as much in the event such a major drop occurs

To many new houses are being built to maintain the current level of housing prices.

I.E. you have 5M cars on the lot and only 1M customers - you have to drop the prices to move product.

They can not build 200 houses and have them sit empty - they will have to drop the prices which will cause the houses that are not new to drop.

Not a crisis - an economic reality.

You wizard.

DMA-

Say what you want about where you live, but here in Tampa we have no inventory. People are placing FSBO signs in there front yard and selling them in two days. New construction all over the place has waiting lists (as of 3 days ago), and this is with strong language in their contracts to deter investors. I'm not sure what market you are looking at, but it doesn't look that way here.

the flood of baby boomers to florida all want to be on or near h2o.....only so much waterfront and beach property. (very little left without mitigating )

it's supply and demand.....our new stuff down here is all sold in pre-construction. hell folks sell before they finish constructionfor 50k

realtor friend told me yesterday he is running out of listings. if you find yourself in this kind of market why not flip a few homes????

if you are not in a hot area move...or at least buy a rental where u can make some jack.

unlike stock....the nice thing about real estate is u can live in it and enjoy the property.

it has utility:^

ps: there is a real estate thread here btw..... http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forum38/

Condoflip dot com is heavy into Florida property.

Only bubbles are in our bathtub.

Let florida get hit by four or five more hurricanes this year and see what will happen.

Tampa Bay this time last year had584 houses on reality . con - now 3039.

Capacity. Supply/demand.

Economics 101. :^.

Let them interest rates go up....see how many more pop up for sale. :shock:

I'm seeing the same thing here in Hawaii and also in California. I've also noticed the same pattern in AZ and NE. Brother in law in San Antonio just bought a home and he noticed the same thing. Here in Hawaii, they are currently building 5 big condominiums and they were all presold. I would have to say that a bust is coming up but I don't see it happening this year and maybenot even next year. Real estate is not as fluid as stocks so just like a speeding train, it will take a while before we see them drop...:^P

Housing drops faster then stocks.

I was in Bangkok Thailand over the weekend.

Stayed at the Ritz. Looked out of my window and counted 19 new condo buildings over 20 stories being built - just in the area I could see.

Property section in the newspaper had over seven pages of condos (pre built) for sale.

I would say if Florida gets hit by a ton of hurricanes this season you will see AZ and NM boom. People are tired of the "elements".

One good earthquake in CA and you will have them moving like ants again to Oregon and Wash State.

Once again housing prices fall much faster then stocks. You can not bail in two seconds on a property. :^

Five years previous hurricanes were very light.

One year will not scare em away. You have two or three or four years in a row and people will through their hands up and move.

Nothing like waking up in the morning and your house is out to sea.

and nothing like having to evacuate a dozen times a year to really put a damper on that ocean breeze on your face.
