According to Calculated Risk, real house prices, and the price-to-rent ratio, are back to late 1999 to 2000 levels. Does anyone seriously expect a drop below these levels? See http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2012/12/comment-on-house-prices-real-house.html

If you are not, it's not an issue. Not an issue, your blind, you have no idea of the scope and impact this is havening on the entire real estate industry. This effects "EVERYONE" who owns property. I've followed the MERS story closely, but it clearly hasn't had the impact that a lot of people thought it would have. If it was affecting the real estate market substantially in my area, I would know about it, because my neighbors wouldn't be able to sell their houses. They are all having no trouble doing so. So, why should I care about MERS?

The graph is also pinned to Consumer Price Index which is also a flawed Index. There it shows a national level at around 100-110. It is generally assumed that 100 is a sustainable Real House Price Index number. The one for the Bay area is still stuck at about 140, down from 200. For all my Google skills, it is still a hard graph to find when I need it. However, it looks more like this.

If inventories stay where they are, house prices will continue their upward trajectory in the SFBA. There are EASILY more people with the financial resources and willingness to support much higher prices than there are decent properties available. Demand is probably somewhere between the historical norm or a little below that, but inventories are waaaaaay below the historical norm. So: supply IF, and it is a big if, the government stops doling out easy-money loans or interest rates rise without being accompanied by inflation (which is somewhere between unlikely and impossible), things could reverse. It would knock out the entire segment of buyers that only care about the monthly payment on a house. If inventories were to increase back to historical norms, that would also put a roof over prices. For now, the Fed has been very effective at driving investors of all sizes into RE, and there is a lot of momentum there that will also keep pushing prices. Rising house prices are part of openly-stated public and monetary policy. Obama and Bernanke have outright said so. It'll take a big hiccup in the economy to diminish the efficacy of those policies.

I don't get it. Title insurance protects the lender/buyer. Potential disaster is why Chicago title has business in the first place, and why your father in law has a job. As an insurance company, it is all about payout ratio and operating overhead to maintain a 0-10% operating margin (In a insurance product like this, its probably closer to 10%). And then use the prepaid cash from the premiums to earn another 5% investment income in addition to the operating margin.

To protect the consumer, A.M. Best rates the insurance company. The rating is based on a variety of factors: Equity compared to policies ratio Types of security/investment purchased from the equity pool (since insurance are prepaids with expected deferred liabililty and they don't view an aggressive portfolio favorably.) History including payout ratio and efficiency ratio (payout % + overhead %. Org chart and diversification of risk. Reinsurane Balance sheet is audited with state agents, outside accountants and actuary to verify the Balance sheet items including invested assets and estimated deferred liability. It's the opposite of government accounting where future liability is measured carefully and audited like hell. Chicago title is one of many title insurance subsidiary of a subsidary of the insurance arm of Fidelity Financial. When you jave an insurance company, you have hundreds of entity but inter-related. Companies you never heard about is probably owned by one of the titans. I wouldn't worry about payout just as I never worry about New York Life not paying out my life insurance policy. Just go for the company with the higher rating.\ Even freaking PMI during 2008-2009 made their payouts as crappy as it was. It's not set up to take your prepaids and go out of business as everyone is all over that crap.

Yes, run out now and give you money to any owner. They worked hard to keep the house from falling apart and deserve all your money. Give then 100k over asking and don't ask any questions. Then become a slave to the bank and watch as the owners drive off in their new Mercedes. They worked so hard for your money you have nothing to do but smile and wave.

Even with fha its much cheaper to buy. Property taxes are flat in half of states, and up less than the declines in income taxes. Given that we are talking about it being 10-15% cheaper today, there is a lot of headroom. The fact is its cheaper to own today than in 2000. I know you guys live in a fantasy world where housing is always more expensive than it used to be, but reality is knocking.

If you can't afford the down payment, get an FHA loan. An FHA loan on $275,000 is STILL cheaper than a traditional 30 year fixed in 2000, even with PMI!

In 5 years houses will be more expensive and interest rates will be higher than they are today. I'm sure then you'll be claiming that prices are poised for another crash and that anybody who buys is an idiot. My mortgage payment as of Monday will be $1733 a month. My home was appraised last week at $590k. Keep telling yourself that buying is so much more expensive.

The entire article from calculatedriskblog.com is wrong. The Case-Shiller Index is already adjusted for inflation. That's why it's meaningful to graph the values from 1890 to today. calculatedriskblog.com is simply double applying an adjustment for inflation and therefore overestimating the correction. Here's the real graph of the index from Business Insider. The data points, up to October 2012, can be obtained directly from Standard And Poors Going by the S&P data, even the 20-city composite is only back to September 2003 levels, well into the bubble. Tampa, FL is back to Feb 2003. Now there are some places where the correction is done. Those places are the ones least affected by the bubble and you can tell where they are by seeing a CS Index that's the same as 1999. Places like Florida and CA are still way overpriced. The fact is that people's nominal income is still not one bit higher than it was in 1999. People simply cannot afford to spend more on a house today than they could in 1999.

Good question but the same answer; because they can I guess. Housing costs an enormous amount. It is the single greatest expense that a person has. As such, it cannot increase unless the person's income increases. Food, clothing, and gas are much smaller and elastic. They can increase because people can accept less of them. For example, people stop driving except to and from work; people eat at home instead of at restaurants; people eat hamburger instead of steak; people buy fewer clothes and use them longer. Furthermore, since food, clothing, and gas are tiny expenses compared to a person's overall income, in contrast to housing, people can sacrifice other luxuries like going out to the movies or vacations to pay for them. People can't make significant diversions of resources to housing because it already consumes way too much of their income. Warren Elizabeth proved this when she conducted a study on the discretionary spending of Americans families in the 1970s versus today. It turned out that today we have far less discretionary income because of housing, health care, and college.

But I really don't buy the fact that there is no discretionary spending room left in the average american's budget. As anecdotal evidence of this, whenever I stroll though my or other neighborhoods as I sometimes do on the weekends, I am always amazed when it seems that 3/4 of all open garages that I peer into are PACKED to the gills with JUNK, not even leaving room for their cars. If americans would cut out their weekly shopping adventures to Wally World perhaps they would find some added $$$. That said, admittedly, there are limits to every budget. But the wealthy in this country ARE seeing salary increases. As long as the poor keep voting in congressional leaders who support tax and other breaks for the wealthy this will continue. This is the very reason why rich areas are getting more expensive while middle class and under areas continue to go down in value.
