Flood of Shadow Real Estate Inventory about to hit the market will drive prices further down. My friend who works for B of A Foreclosure Dept informed me the National HUD moratorium was lifted last month in which they expect the next big wave of foreclosures to hit throughout the end of 2012 and 2013. The media cannot broadcast this because this information will cause potential buyers to hold off on buying properties which will further drive the prices down which will cause the banks to lose more money. Awe, poor executives at the banks…after they fraudulently used the gov’t bail out money to give themselves gigantic bonus, do we really feel sorry for them?
Below is what the media has posted so far as they do not want to publicize how grim the outlook really is.

Awe, I'll happily go with word of mouth and speculation. Even that helps us make decisions. In my mind, if someone is willing to let go of this property for only 64k above a 2002 price, someone else got a whiff of something too... http://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/1115-S-Elm-Dr-90035/unit-502/home/6810929

My friend who works for B of A Foreclosure Dept informed me the National HUD moratorium was lifted last month in which they expect the next big wave of foreclosures to hit throughout the end of 2012 and 2013. I'm going to partially agree with this I'm just not sure of the timing of the "flood". I took a ride around this weekend to scope out some real estate. I was amazed at the sheer amount of "shadow" houses that are just sitting, without any "For Sale" sign on them. Every little subdivision and little neighborhood had vacant houses, some on EVERY street. Many had township stickers on the doors noting them as "empty". The total amount of empty houses I saw is absolutely staggering, and I've been around these areas for a long time. Now the question I don't know is how long the banks are going to continue to "hold" them or start to "release" them. Since the moratorium was recently lifted, if all these houses hit the market, the housing market here will be TOAST and prices will drop back to the early 1990's at best!!!

Those expecting wait long enough to get their dream property for a fraction of the cost in their wildest dreams; and plans on doing so with bank financing. Will be on the outside looking in. The current mode of operation, that has been the standard since 2008 when the bubble collapsed. Has been working for all parties(the Government, Banks, the Realestate industry) ect... and I don't see that changing. While it may be true that a flood of foreclosures are about to hit the market. You will need cash to buy them, and the powers at be, are hard at work, trying to bundle 10 or 15 properties a pop. So yeah you'll see those 60 and 70K properties, but you'll need to buy up 10 a pop with cash money. 700K isn't anything to the wealthy that will buy them up, but it may as well be $5,000,000 for everyone else. And I tell you something else, these investors wont be none happy, if every Tom, Dick and Harry are getting buying these properties driving the demand for rentals down, or the demand for flipping these houses at a good profit. After they own them all on their portfolio. I think it's up to the American consumer, to say "when", and resuscitate the American dream. If we stay on the side lines, then "THEY" will win and end up with them all, and create the "Land owner" class. Everyone else can only dream a long distant dream that will be impossible at that point to ever own a home. But don't take my word for it, I'm never right about these things.

Phoenix inventory has dropped even lower over the month, filings of NTR (notice of trustee sales) while up over the past few months, are still running 30% less than last year, and 60% less than the peak... Until there is some visible evidence of this tsunami, it is pure speculation. lose, not loose btw. The arguement that the media won't hold back information is kinda weak. Currently the national media will not report race related incidents that are basically an epidemic in any place in the US not called California or New York. Thats evidenced by a simple Google search, where local papers report it, but these incidents are NEVER reported by any of the nationwide networks. The notion that the national media has been requested not to run this story would not be an earth shattering revelation.

Correction "Owner Occupied" demand is at a 15 year low. Investment RE has never been higher. Don't take my word for it, I'm just telling you what is going on in South Florida. Houses are still selling lower and lower. How ever, MLS listing prices are actually rising now. Also trending up YOY at 6% or more is rent. While the city is actually appraising existing home owners lower. Here's some fucked up math for you... My house I bought in 2010 for 160K the city now appraises at 119K. Yet! now get this, average listing price is going up already back at 225K in my neighborhood. The same neighborhood is still seeing houses sell for 79K give or take a few grand. How ever you'll need cash, and you'll need to buy a gross of properties to get those prices. Think I'm nuts? http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/North_Central_Hollywood-Hollywood/1956/

    22   8:11am Tue 12 Jun 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Ok, so I just counted the NTR filings (notice of trustee sale) for maricopa county (phoenix metro) 3500 in the last 30 days. During the peak months of 2007 and 2008, there were over 10,000 such filings a month. today, there are 60% less bank owned homes on the mls, and under 300K less than 1 months inventory. Sales have been running around 8000 a month this year. So, for the next 5 months, no tsunami of foreclosures will show up here... Given the tight supply/demand situation, and prices that have jumped 30% year over year, I simply don't see any data yet of this market turning south.

Avg homes in my neighborhood were $175K in 1996.. but interest rates were like 8%. Now average homes are $365K...with interest rates a 3.75%. 2012 - About $2059...PITI 16 years later... 1996 - About $1413.. PITI So about $600 a month more expensive to own a home from 16 years ago... Yeah, what a painful bubble that needs to burst much further... that's about on par with inflation... Now if rates rise.. (which i dont' see happening.. I see us going JAPAN style with rates). Only our housing fell a lot harder and faster than JAPAN ever did... so if we keep rates low for as long as Japan has... we already have a huge head start in price drops. I don't see the downside being much more than 20% at MOST from current prices. And that would mean the economy would have to TANK hard.. and the FED would have to raise interest rates hard. I do see the economy tanking hard.. but no way the FED is raising interest rates if that happens. A long slow slide is the only viable scenario... People will lose money on homes.. but nothing catastrophic like in 2006. Renters will continue to be gouged in RENT increases. And in 15 years.. renting vs. owning will be a wash at worst if you buy in 2012.

Lower interest rates didnt influence higher buying and prices.
