The reaction to the positive discussion about the current state of the housing and credit markets will receive a high level of skepticism and cynical looks and a quick "Are you nuts followed?" Answer.
I do not blame them.
The media are absolutely blitzing the public with stories highlighting the current problems of foreclosures, falling house prices, failing lenders and hedge fund bail-outs and / or collapses. The credibility of the current affairs are reports from leadingIndustry leaders that are likely to extend well into the recovery in 2009.
The economic pain associated with these issues in the context is real and significant. Ask someone is trying to sell or refinance a house in those days. You may ask the tens of thousands of people directly or indirectly tied to the housing market that have lost their jobs.
However, the real estate and housing market need to have to change and clear warnings from respectable voices cried then how FedChairman Alan Greenspan on housing "foam" and unsustainable valuations of assets from the year 2002.
These warnings have been in the wilderness of the market greed lost many by Wall Street hedge funds and portfolio managers in search of yield, leading borrowers to lenders unscrupulously way over their heads, and borrowers to seek selfish a quick buck work through 'mirror' of their recent purchases, or by taping their real estate stocks as aATM excessive.
We try to make a feel for this mess. A big key in this process is to wade through the irrational fear and recognition of a return to normalcy. Real estate appreciation rates in the double digits is not enough and could not be sustained forever. Tenders wars of multiple buyers at attractive properties even remotely affordable is not realistic in the long run. A sense of balance between buyers and sellers is needed for a consistent market.
Clearly, thePendulum has more in favor of the buyer at that time swinging. Sellers must give back a portion of their profits even if the market is a look at the first year to year decline in property prices since the Great Depression. Not all is lost in this scenario. The seller must be quite good if they bought more than 18 months ago did. In addition, economic fundamentals have supported both national and global expansion of commercial revenue and GDP. Employment has also maintained a force in thisTime, and as long as this continues, will return to buyers in higher numbers, affordability continues to grow.
The elimination of the productive environment of greed in recent years has taken a heavy toll on the credit and housing markets. As long as you enforce a cool head and calm the storm of uncertainty for all parties, the economic sun will shine again for institutions and individuals alike. In addition, qualified buyers with qualified suppliers, cooperation with competentReal estate professionals promote the steady, long-term real estate values historically means for our economy.
