HOW YOUR EQUITY CAN GROW OVER TIME

It’s true that record levels of home price appreciation have spurred significant equity gains for homeowners over the past few years. As Diana Olick, Real Estate Correspondent at CNBC, says: “The stunning jump in home values over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic has given U.S. homeowners record amounts of housing wealth.” That’s great for your home’s value over the last couple of years, but what if you’ve lived in your home for longer than that? You may be wondering how much equity you truly have. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has done a study to calculate the typical equity gains over longer spans of time. The data they compiled could be enough to motivate you to move. Just remember, to find out how much equity you have in your specific home, you’ll want to get a professional equity assessment from a trusted real estate advisor. How Your Equity Grows Let’s start by establishing how you build equity in your home. While price appreciation is clearly a factor that can help boost your equity, you also build equity over time as you pay down your home loan. NAR explains: “Home equity gains are built up through price appreciation and by paying off the mortgage through principal payments.”

7


Average Equity Growth over Time The study from NAR breaks down the typical equity gain over time (see graph below). It calculates the equity a homeowner potentially gained if they purchased the medianpriced home 5, 10, or 30 years ago and still own it today.

These six-figure numbers are impressive and certainly enough to help you fuel a move into your next home, but they’re not a promised amount. Remember, your own equity gain will be different. It depends on how long you’ve been in the house, your home’s condition, any upgrades you’ve made, your area, and much more. If you want to find out how much equity you have, partner with a trusted real estate professional for an equity assessment on your home. They can provide an expert opinion on what your house is worth today and how the equity you’ve gained over time can help you when you purchase your next home. It may be some (if not all) of what you need for your next down payment. Bottom Line If you’re thinking about selling your house and making a move, home equity can be a real game-changer, especially if you’ve been in your current home for a while. If you’re ready to find out how much equity you have, let’s connect.

WHAT WOULD A RECESSION MEAN FOR THE HOUSING MARKET?

According to a recent survey from the Wall Street Journal, the percentage of economists who believe we’ll see a recession in the next 12 months is growing. When surveyed in July 2021, only 12% of economists consulted thought there’d be a recession by now. But this July, when polled, 49% believe we will see a recession in the coming 12 months. And as more recession talk fills the air, one concern many people have is: should I delay my homeownership plans if there’s a recession? Here’s a look at historical data to show what happened in real estate during previous recessions to help prove why you shouldn’t be afraid of what a recession would mean for the housing market today. A Recession Doesn’t Mean Falling Home Prices To show that home prices don’t fall every time there’s a recession, it helps to turn to historical data. As the graph below illustrates, looking at the recessions going all the way back to 1980, home prices appreciated in four of the last six recessions. So, historically, when the economy slows down, it doesn’t mean home values will fall.

9


Most people remember the housing crisis in 2008 (the larger of the two red bars in the graph above) and think another recession would repeat what happened then. But this housing market isn’t about to crash. The fundamentals are very different today than they were in 2008. So, don’t assume we’re heading down the same path. A Recession Means Falling Mortgage Rates Research also helps paint the picture of how a recession could impact the cost of financing a home. As the chart below shows, historically, each time the economy slowed down, mortgage rates decreased.

Fortune explains that mortgage rates typically fall during an economic slowdown: “Over the past five recessions, mortgage rates have fallen an average of 1.8 percentage points from the peak seen during the recession to the trough. And in many cases, they continued to fall after the fact as it takes some time to turn things around even when the recession is technically over.” And while history doesn’t always repeat itself, we can learn from and find comfort in the historical data. Bottom Line There’s no doubt everyone remembers what happened in the housing market in 2008. But you don’t need to fear the word recession if you’re planning to buy or sell a home. According to historical data, in most recessions, home price gains have stayed strong, and mortgage rates have declined. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, let’s connect so you have expert advice on what’s happening in the housing market and what that means for your homeownership goals.

WHY YOU MAY WANT TO START YOUR HOME SEARCH TODAY

If you’re thinking about buying a home, you likely have a lot of factors on your mind. You’re weighing your own needs against higher mortgage rates, today’s home prices, and more to try to decide if you want to jump into the market. While some buyers may wait things out, there’s a reason serious buyers are making moves right now, and that’s the growing number of homes for sale. So far this year, housing inventory has been increasing and that’s making the prospect of finding your dream home less difficult. While there are always reasons you could delay making a big decision, there are also always reasons to consider moving forward. And having a growing number of options for your home search may be exactly what you needed to feel more confident in making a move. What’s Causing Housing Inventory To Grow? As new data comes out, we're getting an updated picture of why housing supply is increasing so much this year. As Bill McBride, Author of Calculated Risk, explains: “We are seeing a significant change in inventory, but no pickup in new listings. Most of the increase in inventory so far has been due to softer demand - likely because of higher mortgage rates.” Basically, the inventory growth is primarily from homes staying on the market a bit longer (known as active listings). And that’s happening because higher mortgage rates and home prices have helped moderate the peak frenzy of buyer demand.

16


The graph below uses data from realtor.com to show how much active listings have risen over the past five months as a result (shown in green):

Why This Growth Is Good News for You Regardless of the source, the increase in available housing supply is good for buyers. More housing supply actively for sale means you have more options as your search for your next home. A recent article from realtor.com explains just how significant the inventory growth has been and why it’s good news for your plans to buy: “Nationally, the inventory of homes actively for sale on a typical day in July increased by 30.7% over the past year, the largest increase in inventory in the data history and higher than last month’s growth rate of 18.7% which was itself record-breaking. This amounted to 176,000 more homes actively for sale on a typical day in July compared to the previous year and more choice for buyers who are still looking for a new home.” The growth this year is certainly good news for you, especially if you’ve had trouble finding a home that meets your needs. If you start your search today, those additional options should make it less difficult to find a home than it would have been over the past two years. Bottom Line If you’re ready to jump into the market and take advantage of the increasing supply of homes for sale, let’s connect today. The opportunity is knocking, will you answer?

Design Trends

with Melissa Abati

COZY DESIGN TRENDS The holiday season is officially upon us, and, perhaps greater than usual in this post-lockdown era, so is our desire to entertain families and friends in our homes. Many of us invested in home improvements during the pandemic, and after excessive supply chain delivery issues are eager to finally show off our completed projects. So, while out mingling this season be sure to take notice of these popular design trends:

The most evident update you’ll see lately is the use of bold, lively colors throughout interiors. People are feeling more adventurous after being cooped up in bland homes for so long and are now taking more daring chances in an effort to better reflect their individual personalities. No longer are the masses attracted to monotone white and light gray finishes and decor. Instead, richer earth tones like greens, rusts, and deep purples are being paired with natural wood tones to convey warmer, more inviting spaces, according to Houzz.com.

Texture is another element to which people have been drawn to in recent months. Adding layers of depth through materials such as natural stone, pottery, rattan, metal, matte finishes, rich patinas and light-medium stained wood finishes creates visual interest while bringing personality into previously sterile spaces. More comfortable and authentic upholstery fabrics like wool, vegan leather, velvet and organic cotton create a natural softness leading to both approachability and coziness within our spaces.

The overwhelming urge to feel more relaxed while home has led people to incorporate curved architectural elements and furniture throughout their interiors, regardless of its style. These organic shapes are seen in ceilings, windows, doorways, walls, rounded sofas, arched bookshelves, flowing coffee tables, curved accent chairs, spherical accent pillows, etc., provide a sense of soothed serenity, and are prevalent in recent designs.

The resurgence of wallpaper is proving homeowners’ desires to make bolder design choices and showcase their personalities throughout their interiors. Whimsical, patterned wallpaper is being installed to create playful and happy feelings in spaces like bathrooms, dining rooms, home offices, playrooms and bedrooms. Current trends are leaning towards floral and tropical prints, large scale patterns, metallic finishes, and panorama landscapes- anything that might provide an element of surprise in a space.

With a renewed focus on health and wellness homeowners have been inspired to create more tranquil and peaceful living spaces and one of the biggest ways they are doing so is by bringing more of the outside in. “Extensive evidence demonstrates that biophilic environments- ones that incorporate real elements as well as those that mimic nature- exert a healing effect on the human body,” says Iwan Jones, partner and project lead, Foster + Partners of London. To achieve such a calm space, most newer interior updates embrace an increased presence of house plants- both real and faux, more natural light, the use of sustainable materials such as cork, bark, bamboo, reclaimed wood, natural stone, glass, clay, recycled fabrics, wicker, water or fire elements, and the use of patterns, textures and shapes that imitate those found in nature.

We hope that whomever you host or wherever you visit this season, you may embrace all the beauty that surrounds us this time of year. Enjoy it!

NEW HOMES MAY HAVE THE INCENTIVES YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TODAY

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, this year, builders are on pace to complete more than a million new homes in this country. If you’ve had trouble finding a home to buy over the past year, it may be time to work with your trusted agent to consider a new build and the incentives that come with it. Here’s why. The Supply of Newly Built Homes Is Rising When looking for a home, you can choose between existing homes (those that are already built and previously owned) and newly constructed ones. While the inventory of existing homes is on the rise today, it’s still in tight supply, meaning it can be challenging to find just the right one. The inventory of newly built homes, however, is also rising. And with more options available than there have been in years, a new home may be just the answer you’re looking for. The graph below shows just how much the supply of newly built homes has grown this year.

63


And here’s the thing – builders are also keeping a close eye on current market trends. With mortgage rates rising this year and, as a result, buyer demand softening, builders are slowing their pace of new construction. That’s because they learned their lesson in the housing crash of 2008 and want to avoid over-building and having too much inventory in their pipeline. Basically, while there are more newly built homes on the market today than there have been in years, many builders want to sell their current inventory before adding much more – and that’s where you can really benefit. Today, builders may be more willing to work with buyers. According to a recent survey, 83% of builders have reduced their prices over the last three months. What That Means for You The current supply of newly built homes for sale coupled with the fact that data shows the majority of builders are doing price reductions are both great news for you. It means you may have more options and possibly some much-needed relief if you consider newly built homes in your search. Bottom Line If you’re ready to buy, it may be time to look for a newly built home. To learn what’s available in our area and what incentives these builders are offering, let's connect today.

HOW OWNING A HOME BUILDS YOUR NET WORTH

Owning a home is a major financial milestone and an achievement to take pride in. One major reason: the equity you build as a homeowner gives your net worth a big boost. And with high inflation right now, the link between owning your home and building your wealth is especially important. If you’re looking to increase your financial security, here’s why now could be a good time to start on your journey toward homeownership. Owning a Home Is a Key Ingredient for Financial Success A report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) details several homeownership trends, including a significant gap in net worth between homeowners and renters. It finds: “. . . the net worth of a homeowner was about $300,000 while that of a renter’s was $8,000 in 2021.” To put that into perspective, the average homeowner’s net worth is roughly 40 times that of a renter’s. This difference shows owning a home is a key step in achieving financial success.

65


Equity Gains Can Substantially Boost a Homeowner’s Net Worth The net worth gap between owners and renters exists in large part because homeowners build equity. When you own a home, your equity grows as your home appreciates in value and you make your mortgage payments each month. As a renter, you don’t have that same opportunity. A recent article from CNET explains: “Homeownership is still considered one of the most reliable ways to build wealth. When you make monthly mortgage payments, you're building equity in your home . . . When you rent, you aren't investing in your financial future the same way you are when you're paying off a mortgage.” But on top of that, your home equity grows even more as your home appreciates in value over time. That has a major impact on the wealth you build, as a recent article from Bankrate notes: “Building home equity can help you increase your wealth over time, . . . A home is one of the only assets that have the potential to appreciate in value as you pay it down.” In other words, when you own your home, you have the advantage of your mortgage payment acting as a contribution to a forced savings account that grows in value as your home does. And when you sell, any equity you’ve built up comes back to you. As a renter, you’ll never see a return on the money you pay out in rent every month. Bottom Line Owning a home is an important part of building your net worth. If you’re ready to start on your journey to homeownership, let’s connect today.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE: Bring simplicity, accessibility, and joy to homeownership.


PLANNING TO RETIRE? YOUR EQUITY CAN HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOAL Whether you’ve just retired or you’re thinking about retirement, you may be considering your options and trying to picture a whole new stage of your life. And you’re not alone. Research from the Retirement Industry Trust Association (RITA) shows 10,000 Baby Boomers reach the typical retirement age (65) every day, and only 47% of the people in that generation have already retired. If this sounds like you, one thing worth considering is whether or not your current home will suit your new lifestyle. If your home doesn’t have the features or benefits you’re looking for, the good news is, you may be in a better position to move than you realize. That’s because, if you already own a home, you’ve likely built-up significant equity, and that can help you fuel your next move. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):


“A homeowner who purchased a typical home five years ago would have gained $125,300 from just price appreciation alone.” In fact, over the last twelve months, CoreLogic reports the average homeowner in the United States gained roughly $64,000 in equity due to home price appreciation. You can use your equity to help you achieve your homeownership goals. Whether you want to downsize, move closer to loved ones, or buy a home in a dream destination, your equity can help get you there. It may be some (if not all) of what you’d need as your down payment on a home that better fits your changing needs. To find out how much equity to have in your home, reach out to a trusted real estate professional today. Bottom Line Retirement is a big step and so is buying or selling a home. As you move into this new phase of life, let's connect so you have an expert to guide you through the process as you sell your current home and give you expert advice as you buy one that’ll better suit your needs.
