April surge in contracts indicate busy summer Pending sales show boost of 11 percent for condos, single-family residences
(Lower Eastern Shore, Md.) — A recent spike in contracts or pending sales points to a busy summer, according to figures from the Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR). April 2017 saw an 11 percent overall increase in single-family home and condominium contracts compared to the same time last year in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties. Individually, single-family home contracts increased by 7.2 percent in Worcester and by 8.5 percent in Wicomico. They decreased by 6.2 percent in Somerset. Condominium contracts increased by 16.9 percent in Worcester and by 33.3 percent in Wicomico, and remained the same in Somerset. Settlements also were up in April, with the tri-county area seeing a 9.8 percent boost. Individually, singlefamily home settlements were up by 13.5 percent in Worcester and by 21.6 percent in Wicomico. They were down by 33.3 percent in Somerset. Condominium settlements were
up by 10.4 percent in Worcester and were down by 37.5 percent in Wicomico. There were no condominium settlements last month in Somerset. Listings stayed down in April, with the exception of a 12.3 percent increase in Worcester single-family home listings and a 50 percent increase in Wicomico condominium listings. Listings were down overall by 7.5 percent. Days on market were up overall by 18.2 percent. Listing prices were down 1 percent and sale prices were down 0.5 percent. “Our members are very busy, which is a great sign of things to come,” said CAR President Don Bailey. “Those increased contracts will translate into increased settlements, as more and more people continue to recognize the value of investing in the beautiful lower Eastern Shore.” CAR’s monthly local housing statistics are pulled from the association’s multiple listing service, which represents the activity of more than 1,000 Realtors in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

JUNE 2017
Sales of existing homes heading for 10-year high (Washington, D.C.) – The multiyear stretch of robust job gains along with improving household confidence are expected to guide existinghome sales to a decade high in 2017, but supply and affordability headwinds and modest economic growth are holding back sales and threatening to keep the nation’s low homeownership rate subdued. That’s according to speakers at a residential real estate forum at the 2017 Realtors Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C. in May. Lawrence Yun, chief economist of
the National Association of Realtors, presented his 2017 midyear forecast and was joined onstage by Jonathan Spader, senior research associate at the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, and Mark Calabria, chief economist and assistant to Vice President Mike Pence. The first quarter was the best quarterly existing sales pace in exactly a decade (5.62 million), and Yun expects activity to stay on track and finish around 5.64 million – the best since 2006 (6.47 million) and 3.5 percent above 2016. With several metro areas seeing hefty price
growth, the national median existinghome price is expected to rise around 5 percent this year. Although sales are currently running at a decade high, Yun believes the healthy labor market should be generating even more activity. However, listings in the lower- and mid-market price range are scant and selling fast, and homebuyers are discovering they can afford less of what’s on the market based on their income. “We have been under the 50-year average of single-family housing starts for 10 years now,” said Yun. “Limited lots, labor shortages, tight
construction lending and higher lumber costs are impeding the building industry’s ability to produce more single-family homes. There’s little doubt first-time buyer participation would improve and the homeownership rate would rise if there was simply more inventory.” Housing construction has been uneven so far this year, but Yun anticipates a jump 8.4 percent to 1.27 million. However, this is still under the 1.5 million new homes needed to make up for the insufficient building in recent years. New single-family home

‘When the homeownership rate stabilizes, there will be an increase in homeowner households.’ sales are likely to total 620,000 this year, up 8.4 percent from 2016. Addressing the nation’s low homeownership rate, Spader said substantial uncertainty exists about its future direction. He cited foreclosure-related housing exits from older adults and delayed buying from younger households as the primary causes in the downward trend since the downturn. He said the good news is that while there was growth in homeowner households in 2016, an aging population, changes in family type and increasing diversity by race and
ethnicity all pose as headwinds going forward. Spader’s 2025 projection puts the homeownership rate in a range of 61.0 – to – 65.1 percent. “Stagnant household incomes, rising rental costs, student loan debt and limited supply have all contributed to slower purchasing activity,” said Spader. “When the homeownership rate stabilizes, there will be an increase in homeowner households. Young and minority households’ ability to reach the market will play a big role in how much the actual rate can rise in coming years.”
Calabria’s presentation focused on his thoughts of what can be done to jump-start economic growth. He attributed prolonged weak productivity and the low labor participation rate as the primary reasons why the current economic expansion is the slowest since World War II. “A strong labor market will drive a strong housing market, but you can't have a strong housing market without a strong economic foundation,” said Calabria. Although Yun said economic growth in the first quarter was “a huge disappointment” at 0.7 percent
(first estimate), he anticipates that an increase in consumer spending and more homebuilding should provide enough fuel for gross domestic product to finish slightly higher, at 2.2 percent, than a year ago (1.6 percent). Yun believes the rising interest rate environment is here to stay as the Federal Reserve slowly begins unwinding its balance sheet. He foresees two more short-term rate hikes by the end of this year and for mortgage rates to average around 4.30 percent before gradually climbing towards 5.0 percent by the end of 2018.

(Washington, D.C.) – While tax reform proposals swirling around Washington, D.C., promise lower tax bills for American families, new estimates indicate that many middle-income homeowners may actually see a tax increase if those proposals go through. The study, “Impact of Tax Reform Options on Owner-Occupied Housing,” illustrates the effects of a tax plan that echoes certain elements of the “Better Way for Tax Reform” or “Blueprint” proposal released last year, as well as the White House tax reform outline released in April, to which the National Association of Realtors responded. While most individuals would see a tax decrease under such a proposal, the study estimates that many middle-class homeowners could see a net average tax increase. Homeowners with adjusted gross incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 would see their taxes rise by an average of $815. The study also estimates that combined tax savings from claiming the mortgage interest deduction and real estate property tax deductions would drop 82 percent between the 2018 and 2027 period. “Tax reform and lower rates are worthy goals, but only if we can achieve them in a fiscally responsible way,” said NAR president William E. Brown, a second-generation Realtor from Alamo, California and founder of Investment Properties.“Balancing tax reform on the backs of homeowners isn’t an option.” The study, which was commissioned by NAR and prepared by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), estimates that this tax increase would result from the interaction of several provisions in the reforms under consideration. For many homeowners that currently benefit from the mortgage interest deduction, the elimination of
other itemized deductions and personal exemptions would cause their taxes to rise, even if they elected to take the increased standard deduction. For others, the elimination of the state and local tax deduction alone would result in higher federal income taxes. In addition to increasing taxes on many middle-income homeowners, the report finds that such a proposal could cause home values to fall by an average of more than 10 percent in the near term. In areas with higher property taxes or state income taxes, the drop could be even greater. Although the study doesn’t directly analyze the “Better Way for Tax Reform” plan or the recent White House outline, it examines a proposal with many similar elements. Those elements include lowering and consolidating marginal tax rates to only three rates, setting a top income tax rate of 33 percent, doubling the standard deduction, eliminating all itemized deductions (other than charitable contributions and mortgage interest) and personal exemptions, eliminating the alternative minimum tax, and capping the tax rate on pass-through business income at 25 percent. PwC estimated that roughly 35 million households will claim the mortgage interest deduction in 2018, three quarters of which have incomes between $50,000 and $200,000. According to NAR, roughly 70 percent of those eligible for the MID claim it in a given tax year. “A tax reform proposal that hikes taxes for homeowners is a raw deal, and consumers know it,” said Brown. “Leaders in Washington who are driving tax reform have shown every indication that they have the best of intentions, and we’re hopeful they’ll consider our study as this process plays out in the months ahead,” Brown added.
Realtors hear from officials Continued from Page 1 the Maryland General Assembly and their goals for the interim and next year. The legislators also answered questions from the audience on topics such as the proposed offshore wind projects in Ocean City and Internet access in Somerset County. “The talks were very informative and we appreciate our elected officials taking the time out of their busy schedules to have breakfast with us,” said CAR President Don Bailey. “It is imperative that all citizens, regardless of their profession, be engaged in the political process. We elect these fine representatives and they depend on their constituents who are on the ground to give them
direction and communicate their needs and issues. Particularly as real estate professionals, we see legislation every single year that impacts our industry and our future, therefore it’s critical that we stay involved.” Two door prizes were awarded at the event. Austin Whitehead, a Realtor with Whitehead Real Estate Executives in Salisbury, won a $200 Visa gift card courtesy of CAR. Alice Fisher, a Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate in Salisbury, won a $200 gift card to Sello’s Italian Oven & Bar in West Ocean City, courtesy of Real Estate Title & Escrow.

Tight market? Five things to do to make process easier Know what you can spend, be prepared to take action, separate needs from wants When inventory is low, home prices tend to go up. Attempting to purchase a house in this type of market can make the already complex process of buying a home even more overwhelming. To help buyers successfully get through the buying process in a tight inventory market with as little stress and difficulty as possible, the National Association of Realtors has these five suggestions: 1. Determine and stick to a budget. Before beginning the house hunting process, prospective homebuyers should receive preapproval from one or more lenders to verify the amount of money they are qualified to borrow. Then, after taking into account additional costs of ownership such as taxes, utilities and insurance, buyers should determine a final budget they can comfortably afford. When listings are scarce, bidding wars can drive up prices, so buyers must be prepared to walk away if the asking price surpasses their budget. 2. Identify desired neighborhoods and home wants versus needs. When housing inventory is tight, buyers may need to compromise on
what they believe they want from a home. Certain wants, such as stainless appliances or hardwood floors, can be added later. However, if a buyer wants to be in a specific school district or have a decent sized backyard, those cannot be addressed later and must be taken into account during the house hunting process. 3. Be ready to make a decision quickly. In a seller’s market, homes rarely stay on the market long, so when a house that is in their budget and checks off all of their needs come along, buyers should not hesitate. Buyers should be ready to submit an offer quickly, or they may risk missing out on the home altogether. 4. Bid competitively and limit contingencies. It is tempting to submit a low offer as a starting bid, but in a seller’s market buyers need to put forward their highest offer from the very beginning or they are likely to lose out on the home. It is also important to remember that in multiple bidding situations it is not always the highest offer that is most attractive to the seller but the one with the fewest contingencies. Removing restrictions related to the sale of a current home and being flexible with things like the move-in date can make a bid stand out to a seller.
5. Work with a Realtor. All real estate is local, so it is important to work with an agent who is a Realtor, a member of the National Association of Realtors, and who is familiar with the areas and neighborhoods the homebuyers are
considering. Realtors are the most trusted resource for real estate information and have unparalleled knowledge of their communities; they can give buyers the competitive advantage needed in a tight market.

Carson: HUD backs change in FHA condo rule (Washington, D.C.) – Potential homebuyers have a lot to contend with from tight credit and low inventory to rising prices. But for buyers who are able to muscle past these hurdles, Realtors know that tough-tomake deals can still fall apart when needlessly high regulatory burdens get in the way. That point was made clear by Dr. Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, at the May Realtors Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C. He told his audience that HUD is working to make improvements with the goal of ushering in a new era of homeownership. “It’s important to be able to learn from success and from failure,” Carson said. “That’s what wisdom is all about.” NAR for years has pushed for reforms at the Federal Housing Administration – a program office under HUD’s jurisdiction – that would make it easier for homebuyers to utilize FHA’s low-down payment financing options. One example is NAR’s call for FHA to address current restrictions on the treatment of condominiums. An NAR-backed rule that would make it easier to buy a condo with FHA financing has been pending since September 2016, and Realtors welcomed an update from Dr. Carson on the status of the rule.
He said that on the issue of condos, HUD’s position is in “lock step” with that of Realtors. “I can assure you that this rule has very high priority,” Carson said. “I think it will make a big difference to a lot of Americans.” NAR President William E. Brown moderated a short Q&A session with Dr. Carson in which Brown raised the condo rule issue, as well as some other key concerns facing Realtors. “Condominiums are an affordable option that many young and firsttime buyers look to when they start their home search, but using an FHA loan to buy a condo is still a real challenge,” said Brown. “Finishing work on the condo rule would offer some much-needed clarity and relief.” Realtors have also long-supported an end to so-called “life of loan” mortgage insurance. On a conventional mortgage, borrowers typically must pay for mortgage insurance if they have less than 20 percent equity in the property. When the homeowner reaches that 20 percent equity mark, they’re usually able to cancel the mortgage insurance and put those monthly payments back in their pocket. With an FHA mortgage, however, borrowers must maintain mortgage insurance for the entire life of the loan. That needlessly takes money from the consumer and offers an in-

centive for strong borrowers to leave the program, potentially weakening FHA’s book of business. For those reasons, eliminating the life of loan requirement is a priority for Realtors. In addition to condo rules and life of loan mortgage insurance, Brown raised another Realtor priority: reinstating a cut to the mortgage interest premium FHA charges for its loans. FHA announced in January that it was cutting annual premiums consumers pay for mortgage insurance from 0.85 percent to 0.60 percent, but the cut was rescinded under the new administration just a few weeks later. FHA has said that the decision to reinstate the cut is still under review. Brown said that while Realtors were disappointed that the MIP cut didn’t go through, HUD leaders, including Dr. Carson, have shown a consistent willingness to work with NAR and its members to achieve a common goal in support of homeownership. Brown also raised the issue of Property Assessed Clean Energy loans. Although Realtors support the energy efficiency benefits of PACE loans, they have warned that consumers are burdened with a lack of transparency and information that can threaten home buying and selling. To address these concerns, Real-
tors believe PACE loans should be subject to the same consumer disclosure laws as mortgages. Dr. Carson said HUD is “very amenable to adjusting that policy in the future.” Realtors responded to that with applause. “I can’t thank Dr. Carson enough for speaking to our membership and giving us his honest assessment of the road ahead,” said Brown. “We can do so much more to clear the way for creditworthy buyers trying to enter the market, and HUD is at the center of those conversations. Realtors value their partnership with HUD and leaders like Dr. Carson, and we look forward to doing big things in the years to come.” Following Dr. Carson’s remarks, attendees heard from Roy Wright of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Wright is the deputy associate administrator for Insurance and Mitigation, with oversight over the National Flood Insurance Program. Wright told the audience that while challenges remain in ensuring access to affordable flood insurance, a multi-year reauthorization of the program is critical for protecting homeowners. In addition, Wright announced what he described as a “moon shot” type effort inside FEMA. “We want to see the flood cover in the U.S. doubled by 2023,” he said.
