The Market

Home Sales Rebounding Despite Affordability Issues Sales have picked up during the first half of 2015, but a lack of new housing supply may slow sales moving forward Home sales are expected to finish 2015 at their highest pace since 2006, but quickly rising prices and mortgage rates may potentially slow sales, according to an economic forecast forum at the recent 2015 Realtors Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo.

In the forum, Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, presented his midyear economic and housing forecast while Robert Dietz, vice president of tax and market analysis at the National Association of Home Builders, shared the building industry’s perspective on the housing market.

“Existing home sales are higher than last year, and sales strengthened in March because more buyers entered the market as the spring buying season got underway.” said Yun. “The main factors driving home sales are job growth and interest rates below 4 percent, resulting in regions with strong job gains and economic activity – particularly in states like Utah and Florida and cities like Denver – outpacing the rest of the nation in terms of demand.” added Yun. Yun and Dietz both focused on housing supply in the forum.

Yun said new-home construction continues to underperform and 4

is hindering housing sales from being higher. Increasing demand on limited supply leads to unhealthy price growth and negatively affects affordability,Yun added.

Dietz does not expect building activity to return to “normal” levels till 2017, pointing to NAHB data on townhome construction as an indicator to watch. “A gradual uptick in the building of townhomes would lead me to believe that young buyer demand is finally on the rise,” Dietz said.

Yun forecasts housing supply to be below 1.5 million new starts – the number needed to meet demand – for time being, with 1.1 million in 2015 and 1.4 million in 2016. On top of that, he expects interest rates will rise, with the Federal Reserve increasing short-term rates in September and mortgage interest rates moving upward over the next year.

“The impact of rising rates on affordability will greatly depend on two things: housing supply keeping up with demand and the strong pace of job creation eventually leading to meaningful wage gains,” added Yun.

Q& A

ARE WE TAXED ON A SHORT SALE?

meltdown. Millions of people lost their homes and could not possibly pay a tax on unpaid mortgage debt. Recognizing that there was no sense in taxing people with no homes and no money, the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 was passed.

According to the IRS, “this provision applies We are in a short sale situation, asking the bank to debt forgiven in calendar years 2007 through to approve a sale that result in about $70,000 in 2014. Up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible unpaid debt. Will we be taxed on the money we for this exclusion ($1 million if married, filing don’t pay back to the lender? separately).

Answer:

uncertainty until the last possible moment.

Now, in 2015, we once again have the same situation. Will Congress again extend the bill? Will it extend it permanently, so that the annual ritual of a last-minute extension can be ended?

We don’t know. However, at this moment two bills to resolve the issue have been introduced in Congress: H.R.1002, sponsored by Rep. Tom Reed (R – New York) in the House and S.608 sponsored

by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D – Michigan) in the Senate. If passed as written, both bills will extend mortgage-debt relief through 2016.

Right now, as of this moment, there is no mortgage debt relief legislation in place, but the situation could change – hopefully before the end of the year. For updates and specifics, speak with a tax professional.

Snooze and Lose?

The longer you wait to buy a home, the more it can cost you.

Here’s what potential buyers should know about acting now to get in the market Many a fisherman has a story about the big one that got away. But years from now many a would-be homeowner could have a tale about the dream home that got away because they didn’t reel in the big catch in time, say the experts.

A recent report published by Realtor.com indicates that the financial consequences of postponing or passing on a home purchase in the current market could prove to be quite costly. The report suggests that, on average nationally, the penalty of waiting to buy for one year is almost $19,000 and nearly $54,000 for a three-year delay. The estimated wealth that a person would garner over 30 years of homeownership, meanwhile, is over $217,000.

Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for the San Jose, California-based website, says the steep penalty in waiting just one year to buy shows how small timing decisions can have large financial repercussions.

“Current market conditions give buyers the opportunity to build substantial wealth in the long-term, compared with renters and later buyers,” Smoke says. “Affordability is essentially at its peak now as both interest rates and prices will be increasing over the medium and long-term horizon. This relatively strong level of current affordability will last at least another year before both price appreciation and rate increases begin to take their toll. Since both June 26, 2015

prices and mortgage rates are on the rise, and purchasing enables a buyer to avoid high and escalating rents, the smarter strategy is to buy as soon as possible.”

Bernard Klein, an agent with Halstead Feathered Nest in New York, says attributes for the ideal candidate for jumping into the market sooner rather than later has little to no outstanding debt, steady income, liquid reserves and a credit score above 700.

“Keep in mind that financing may get much more difficult in a higher interest-rate environment,” Klein says. “Lenders may become more selective, and someone’s ability to save over the year in which they (delay a purchase) may not be enough to match both increased interest rates and housing prices. So the danger of not acting now isn’t just a more expensive mortgage payment—it could mean not being able to buy anything at all.”

Conversely, it could be smarter to hold off if your expected amount of time to remain in the home doesn’t cover the transaction costs of buying and selling, Smoke adds.

Brian Koss, executive vice president of a mortgage company in Danvers, Mass., agrees.

“The best reason to delay a purchase is if you are personally not ready, not in good financial shape to buy, or emotionally chasing a home that’s exploding with multiple bids over asking price,” Koss says.

RE-Weekly.com

Additionally, if job relocation is probable based on your employer or profession, putting a home purchase on hold is advisable.

“Having to recoup your investment in a short-term period is much harder than when you have the luxury of time,” says Raymond Brousseau, executive vice president of a mortgage company in Anaheim, Calif.

Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home – and when – is a deeply personal one that depends on individual circumstances.

“Aside from financial considerations, one must consider other factors such as upcoming life events, job security, and family. These can all have significant impacts on ownership,” Smoke says. “It would follow that potential buyers who are confident in long-term stability of their families, jobs,and hometowns, would be wise to buy now, while those who anticipate a move or a larger family in the future might be wise to wait.”

Koss recommends doing your homework on particular neighborhoods of interest and the unique markets in those communities so that you know the values and where you can afford to buy.

“Decide on a timeframe, and don’t get caught up in the madness and be forced to do something you’re not comfortable doing,” he says.
