What’s Next With the Housing Market?

For those fortunate to own property in Las Vegas and Henderson, 2013 was a red hot year for the Nevada real estate market. Home appreciation was quoted from 20% to 30% in some areas. What should we expect in 2014?

outbid and getting desperate to purchase a home at historic low interest rates and pricing. The sold prices surged up with many properties selling over the appraised value. This continued through summer until high inventory, higher list prices, and the seasonal slowdown lead to the sizzle dying out by fall.

To understand where we’re going, we first need to ask what made last year so successful. For the answer we need to look back at 2009, a year after the market crashed.

There were slightly more than 8,000 homes on the market.

Once short sales and foreclosures really came on strong, there were over 12,000 available homes for sale. Inventory was up and prices were down due to distressed sales.

Where are we going? With higher home prices and significantly more inventory, I would expect a very moderate single digit appreciation for 2014. However, there is one more factor that needs to be considered, The Federal Reserve and Quantitative Easing.

That was the set up for October of 2011 when Assembly Bill 284 passed. Immediately, Notice of Defaults (the first step in the foreclosure process) dropped from 2,000-3,000 per month to less than 100. Inventory dried up and a year later in October 2012 inventory had dropped from 10,346 available homes to 4,079. A whopping 60.1% drop over the course of a year.

By February 2013, inventory dropped even lower to 3,047. Once spring sales picked up, as they always do, the low inventory created bidding wars. Buyers were being

S & P 500

Where are we now? Sales comparables are significantly better now.

Homes have stabilized at significantly higher prices than a year ago. As of January 2014, inventory is now up to 9,093 available homes.

For all of 2012, the Federal Reserve printed an extra $85 Billion a month for their bond buying stimulus plan. This created an enormous amount of liquidity which helped inflate the stock market to record highs. The graph below compares where we are now to the tech and stock bubbles of years past.

People believe the real estate boom is back and here to stay. Even Forbes has a 3-year growth forecast of 58%. But keep in mind, the Fed is already starting to taper their stimulus and print less money. This could result in higher interest rates and a major slow down. It could be a couple years out, but I recommend erring on the side of caution and be prepared for when the next bubble bursts.
