Gluskin Sheff Chief Economist & Strategist David Rosenburg;

"The deflation in housing is going to continue. Housing is only about 40% through its reversion process. In fact, along with housing, the entire household debt deleveraging process is still in progress and still has a tremendous way to go. This deleveraging cycle will remain a dead-weight drag on the economy for quite a long time."

"It seems very unlikely only five years into such enormous, structural shifts in the US economy that the repricing process is over in housing. At minimum, I expect the median price of single-family existing homes to revert to the 2000 level of $147,000, with the strong possibility of an overshoot to the $125,000 level. This process will take SEVERAL MORE YEARS." http://www.peakprosperity.com/blog/79376/when-qe-finally-fails Buy now, cry later.

   6   5:27pm Tue 7 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (1)   Dislike   Protected   Housing shit the bed, and we still working on gettin all the stains out. Bobby Shiller says it's probably better off if you keep renting from Jody for a spell... "Recent research by Robert Shiller indicates sounding the all-clear for a housing recovery is premature since the home-price rebound, if that's what it is, doesn't yet have momentum - which is the most powerful driver of home prices. As he notes in today's WSJ, momentum is a modestly weak force in the stock market but the most important driver of the 'feedback loop' in home-price increases (followed by unemployment). "It could be a bottom, I just don't know", he adds pointing to the large overhang of homes that are either in foreclosure of near it - which would push prices down further if they were ever released to the market (wanting to see momentum carry into the Spring to be convinced). Critically, he sees bubbles once again forming in some areas, commenting that investors have been "primed to think speculatively" adding that "There was a change in our mindset. Now we start thinking about the housing market as like the stock market." Our question is, if the increasingly speculative housing market is part of the CPI basket, why then is the stock market not also part of what is now an inflationary basket chock full of QE-sensitive assets." http://blogs.wsj.com/totalreturn/2012/08/06/is-this-the-end-of-the-housing-bust-not-so-fast-says-shiller/ IOW the same numbuts what are pouring $$ $ into they 401K are the ones buying primary residences.

   8   8:30pm Tue 7 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (1)   Dislike (3)   Protected   David Losh says Deleveraging is real. Holding a mortgage, no matter how low the interest, is bad. I hold a mortgage on a property that earns 120% of my monthly loan payment in rents. The house is 100% financed and I have $0 of my own money invested. In 15 years the home will be owned free and clear and all it will cost me is a little management time. How exactly is this bad? (note: 3 years down, 12 more years to go. One of the benefits of ignoring the housing bears in 2009)

    11   12:37am Thu 9 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   There is an obvious floor in prices, and much of the low end inventory that's hitting the market is at that floor. ( So they ain't going lower) When my net income on renting a property out is 10% (I can recoup the purchase price in 10 years after all expenses), then investors will buy and it will hold the price. By this measure, mid-range and some higher end properties still have a ways to fall, but low end properties are pretty near bottom.

    14   8:02am Thu 9 Aug 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Protected   David Losh says It's not a bad thing. You just have to remember that the property is worth less than you paid for it, and rents will decline. Wrong and wrong. It's worth more than I paid for it and I've raised rents twice. First $1800, then $1850 and now it earns $1900. I'm almost certain I could get $2000 today because of skyrocketing rents, but I'm in a 2 year lease.

Given the inflated prices, this should be no surprise. Strange. I just went to Movoto and typed in 93923 and SFH and got a grand total of 48 results (actually 100 if you untick the 'has photos' box)- with no maximum price. Redfin shows 213 listings doing the same search. Edit: Just done the search again on Movoto and it's showing 162 listings. Don't know what's up with the site. Still rather a long way from over a 1000 though.
