Is now the right time? T
June 2014
Financial stars align to make buying more affordable he most common question asked by many people thinking of buying real estate, especially when it’s a vacation home, is “When is a good time to buy?” Despite all the calculators, indexes, studies and advisories, the simplest answer is the best: you buy when you can afford it. That sounds almost naïve, but a great deal on a vacation home is only great when you get the property you want.
There’s a huge difference between buying for price and getting something and buying what you truly want at a price you can afford. More importantly, the same can be said for worrying about what your neighbors paid, assuming that your aim is to have a place at the beach for you to enjoy. What he or she paid makes no difference. After all, buying a vacation home is not a com-
petition, but a lifestyle choice. However, there are times when the financial stars align and good deals are available. According to the sales statistics for the coastal area, as well as financial data supplied by Freddie Mac, this is one of those times. The average sale price of a residential property in this area in April 2010 was $295,344, according to the Maryland Association of Realtors. This past
April, the average sales price had dropped to $258,135. In addition, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage this past April was 4.34 percent as compared to 5.1 in the same month five years ago. Factoring in the better interest rates and the lower average prices, anyone who’s thinking about getting that second home at the beach will have to agree, the best time to buy could be now.

Realtor.com listing site adds new features, plan outlined WASHINGTON (May 15, 2014) – New enhancements to residential listing site realtor.com are giving consumers the features they want and ensuring that they can continue to rely on the site for the freshest and most comprehensive property listings. That was the message delivered today by Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Move Inc., operator of NAR’s official property listing website realtor.com, during the Realtor Party Convention & Trade Expo. During the meeting, Berkowitz laid out future plans for realtor.com, including connecting the website and brand with renters and a younger and more mobile audience, giving users a more personalized experience, and helping consumers find the right Realtor who can help them achieve their home buying and selling goals. He said realtor.com is the most popular site for engaged consumers and that one-in-three visitors to the site is a serious buyer that is actively searching for a property. Renters are also tomorrow’s buyers and a highpotential market segment; 74 percent of renters who are actively searching the site are in the market and looking to buy a home. When consumers visit the site, Berkowitz said they are searching for

fresh, up-to-date market data; comprehensive and accurate listings; an easy-to-use platform; high-quality photos and videos of properties; and precise search and filtering capabilities. “Realtor.com is also giving consumers the information they want, where they want it: in the palm of their hand,” he said. “A growing number of consumers are searching for real estate listings using mobile devices. In fact, in March 2014 nearly 60 percent of viewed listings were accessed through a mobile device.” The rising popularity of searching for listings across mobile platforms means realtor.com has seen nearly a 60 percent increase in downloads of its mobile application since 2012. He said consumers using these devices spend more time reviewing listings and photos than desktop computer users, which likely means they are more ready to buy or sell and wanting accurate, real-time listings. “Accurate data is critically important to consumers and Realtors,” said National Association of Realtors President Steve Brown, broker/ owner of Irongate, Inc. Realtors in Dayton, Ohio. “Realtor.com represents what's real in real estate and See LISTING Page 4

Continued from Page 2 provides the most reliable data in neighborhoods across the country, helping consumers to make the smartest decisions about buying, selling and investing in a home.â&#x20AC;? Realtor.com recently launched a national advertising campaign, Accuracy Matters, to educate consumers about the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique ability to deliver reliable and accurate property listings. NARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest advertising campaign, to launch in July, will support realtor.com messaging and further promote the Realtor brand. Berkowitz said that despite an abundance of online sources for property listings, buyers and sellers value the help of a real estate professional when searching for a home that fits their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, and that four out of five consumers engage a Realtor early in the homebuying
process. While consumers depend on an agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help throughout the buying process, they particularly rely on a Realtorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance when it comes to negotiating the deal, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Improved agent profiles and branding for Realtors is also making it easier for consumers to find the right agent to help them make their homeownership dreams a reality in the offline word,â&#x20AC;? said Berkowitz. Other recent site enhancements include larger photos, increased mapping and search capabilities, and greater insights into neighborhoods and home sale histories through a new partnership with remodeling website Porch.

BERLIN ( April, 2014) Coastal Association of Realtors is proud to announce that Wesley Cox, director of CAR and Don Bailey, CAR treasurer, were two of 20 graduates from the Maryland Association of Realtors (MAR) 14th annual Leadership Academy. The MAR Leadership Academy was formed by Realtors who understand the important role they play in their community and the need to enhance the leadership skills, knowledge, and competencies of fellow Realtors interested in making a difference in their personal lives and in their communities. Coastal Association of Realtors, one of 16 local Realtor boards and associations in Maryland, is a strong advocate and recognizes the importance of the MAR Leadership Academy to the future of CAR and its members. “This achievement is another example of how our members are pioneers in the real estate industry,” said Sheila Dodson, CAR executive
director. “Don and Wes represent true leadership in the market, value the education and resources they expose themselves to and go out of their way to share their knowledge with fellow CAR members so the entire membership can provide expert advice and guidance to clients and the community at-large.” The MAR Leadership Academy offers an intensive curriculum designed to develop skills in leadership, communications, strategic planning, legislative and government affairs and community involvement. Classes are conducted over seven months and stress the value of professional and personal commitment to business, charitable and civic endeavors. “This program has helped me continue my pursuit to be a successful leader within the community while gaining additional leadership tools that can be applied across diverse and growing organizations,” said CAR Director Wesley Cox. “The program has a focus on personal development that will not only benefit me in my daily life but will also help me lead and advance the organizations I am associated with.”

JUNE 2014
Wicked weather contributes to sub-par 1st quarter sales WASHINGTON (May 15, 2014) – Housing activity was sub-par in the first quarter of this year, dampened in part by severe weather patterns, but an uptrend is expected with healthy underlying demand over the balance of the year and through 2015, according to presentations at a residential real estate forum here during the Realtor Party Convention & Trade Expo. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the U.S. population has been growing steadily, but job creation has not. “When you look at the jobs-to-population ratio, the current period is weaker than it was from the late 1990s through 2007,” he said. “This explains why Main Street America does not fully feel the recovery.” Yun said that growth in the Gross Domestic Product slowed in the first quarter, and possibly contracted. “There are no fresh signs of recession, and the second quarter could grow about 3 percent,” he added. Yun said the home sales-to-population ratio also has been below normal since 2008. Despite a large pent-up demand from years of below-normal home sales, inventory constraints and tight credit conditions continue to impede the market, in combination with strongly rising home prices and higher mortgage interest rates. Although existing-home sales rose more than 9 percent to nearly 5.1 million in 2013, sales activity retrenched during the past six months. Even with gradual improvement moving forward, they are projected to decline about 3 percent for the year to just over 4.9 million, but should trend up to more than 5.2 million in 2015. Because of tight inventories and rising sales last year, the median existing-home price rose 11.5 percent to just over $197,000. Home price growth is likely to moderate from more new home construction, with the median price increasing about 6 percent in 2014 to $209,000 and reaching nearly $219,000 next year as market conditions begin to balance. An upside of rising prices is a recovery in home equity. “Based on our forecast for this year, the median home equity gain over three years is expected to be $40,000,” Yun noted. “A gap between new and existinghome prices from rising construction costs shows that prices are well supported by fundamentals in most of the country,” he said. He expects the Federal Reserve to end tapering of monetary policy by the end of the year and to hike the Fed funds rates in the first quarter of 2015. Although the pattern is uneven month-to-month, mortgage interest rates are forecast to gradually rise, with the 30-year fixed rate averaging
4.7 percent this year and 5.5 percent in 2015. “Inevitably, rising mortgage interest rates will hurt housing affordability,” Yun said. Housing starts have stayed below 1 million a year for the past six years, but need to reach the long-term average of 1.5 million to balance the market. “Because of the prolonged slowdown in construction, we now need 1.7 million housing starts per year to catch up,” Yun said. While improving, housing construction is seen at nearly 1.1 million this year and approximately 1.4 million in 2015. The sluggish recovery in housing starts is impacted by construction costs rising faster than inflation, labor shortages in the building trades, and the difficulty for small local home builders to obtain construction loans. “Onerous financial regulations are preventing small banks from originating construction loans,” Yun said. Job growth, which is the key to overall economic health, has essentially recovered all of the eight million jobs lost since the great recession. Employment is expected to improve, with job growth rising 1.6 percent in 2014 and 1.9 percent next year, after growing 1.7 percent in 2013; consumer confidence should gradually rise. The Gross Domestic Product should grow 2.2 percent this year and about 2.9 percent in 2015; GDP grew 1.9 percent in 2013. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, was a tame 1.4 percent in 2013 but is projected to rise to 2.5 percent this year and 3.5 percent in 2015. Eric Belsky, managing director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, agreed we’re unlikely to see a back-up in GDP. “Growth in the stock market and the recovery in housing along with pent-up demand are major factors driving the economy,” he said. “There are three federal surveys that measure household growth and that are inconsistent, but we had real growth in 2012 that fell back last year,” Belsky said. “Even the survey with the strongest household growth shows we’re a million below where we should be, but we’re probably two million below. We could see a notable uptick in household formation later this year.” Belsky noted there are nearly three million more young adults who lived with their parents in 2012 than in 2007, and the median incomes for all young adults have declined since the great recession. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student loan default rates have soared from just over 6 percent in 2003 to nearly 12 percent last year. See DOWNPAYMENT Page 22

Downpayment needs misunderstood Continued from Page 16 Student debt is hurting credit scores and hindering the ability of some young adults to qualify for a mortgage; it could be a problem for as many as one in 10 renters who are in their 20s. The Joint Center for Housing Studies projects household growth to rival or top the annual average pace from 1995 to 2000, and projects 76 percent of the growth over the next decade will be from minority households. The greatest increase is expected to be among households age 65 and older. According to Fannie Mae, roughly nine out of 10 people under the age of 45 expect to buy a home in the future, but Belsky said mortgage underwriting standards are dramatically tighter, which disproportionately impacts minorities and those with lower incomes. Dennis McGill, director of research for Zelman & Associates in New York, also focused on trends in housing demand. “Our analysis of Census Data shows an average of only 720,000 housing starts annually from 2010 through 2013, but our projections over the next five years exceed an average of 1.9 million,” he said. “We won’t ramp up to that level right away, but if you average housing starts for the entire period from 2010
to 2019, it would be about 1.44 million,” McGill said. “There is a strong tailwind to housing starts. We’re starting to see capital come back to single family construction, which is very favorable.” McGill notes trends in residential electric consumption mirror the growth in households, and also young adult employment, which is driving the growth. The percentage of 24 to 34 year old married couples has risen since the last recession, but they are delaying a transition to homeownership.
‘We’re starting to see capital come back to single family construction, which is very favorable.’ Zelman believes that the majority of this recent change has been due to recessionary impacts that should start to unwind. McGill said their analysis shows the existing-home inventory relative to the number of households in the first quarter of this year is 30 percent lower than the average of the past two decades. In addition, total sales closings in

2013 were 20 percent lower than the 25-year average. “If we don’t bring capacity back to the market, home prices will continue to rise strongly,” he said. A Zelman consumer survey shows most young adults believe a lack of savings for a downpayment is their biggest hurdle to obtaining a mortgage, but most of them think they need a much larger downpayment than is actually required. For example, 25 percent believe they need a downpayment of 16 to 20 percent, and another 15 percent believe they need a downpayment of more than 20 percent. However, the actual requirement for an FHA loan is 3.5 percent.Even with the wellknown debt issues, nearly one-quarter of people under the age of 35 are debt free, which is better than the historic average. In addition, the Zelman survey shows that contrary to fears, there is no correlation between student loan debt and household formation. “A lot of this is a recessionary impact that we think is overlooked,” McGill said. The National Association of Realtors, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

FHA seeking to ease access to mortgages WASHINGTON (May 13, 2014) – The Federal Housing Agency is taking additional steps to expand access to mortgage credit for underserved borrowers, according to Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, who spoke to Realtors at the “FHA: 80 Years and Counting – Regulatory Issues Forum” during the Realtor Party Convention & Trade Expo. Donovan said lending to potential buyers with lower credit scores has fallen dramatically in recent years and announced a new blueprint for greater consumer access to credit, through a new FHA housing counseling program that will launch later this year. The four-year, two-phase pilot program, called “Homeowners Armed With Knowledge” or HAWK, will offer a 50 basis point reduction in the upfront mortgage insurance premium and a 10 basis point reduction in the annual premium at the time of loan origination to first-time homebuyers who complete the program. Loans that remain in good standing will also receive reductions, which could add up to thousands of dollars in savings for homebuyers over the life of their loan.
