A Swing Back Toward Ownership “The forces pulling the home ownership rate lower are past their apex…House prices are rising, but remain affordable at 21% below peak, even as rents rise. Some who lost homes early in the crisis can now qualify again for mortgage loans. As housing recovers and consumers again see prices rising steadily, perceptions will swing back to favor home ownership.” Celia ChenSenior Director - Moody's Analytics Moody’s Analyitics 8/2013
Boomerang Buyers “HUD recently announced that people who lost their home through a foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy, may be eligible to finance a home again in as little as 12 months. This is a reduction from the previously required minimum of 36 months from the date of the “most recent event.” Released August 15, HUD provided guidelines under “Back to Work: Extenuating Circumstances” meant to ease the path for home ownership for many.” KCM Blog 8/2013
Reexamining the Social Benefits of Homeownership after the Housing Crisis “Even after the dramatic loss of equity and the high foreclosure rates, the early evidence suggests that people seem to believe that, over the long run, owning is still preferable to renting... The long term cultural preference for owning seems to have weathered the recent housing crisis.” Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University 8/2013
Reexamining the Social Benefits of Homeownership after the Housing Crisis “The research on home-buying expectations supports the conclusion that very large percentages of Americans still expect to buy a home at some time in the future… Moreover, the finding that younger renters and owners are more likely than their older counterparts to expect to own bodes well for the future of the housing market.” Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University 8/2013

The Cost of Waiting *For the first two examples, we used the NAR’s Existing Home Sales Report to establish median price and Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey to establish mortgage rate. We also assumed a 20% down payment in all examples. **To establish next year’s pricing, we depended on the over 100 housing experts surveyed for the Home Price Expectation Survey who called for an approximate appreciation rate of 5% over the next twelve months. For the interest rate, we took the average of the projections from the Mortgage Bankers’ Association, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

“Home buyers are more informed than ever with their Internet searches and ongoing research; however, there’s a critical need to transform that information into analysis and advice that helps consumers make the best home-buying and selling decisions.” Stephen Phillips Chief Operating Officer for HSF Affiliates LLC

An index above 100 signifies that family earning the median income has more than enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a median-priced home, assuming a 20 percent down payment. NAR 8/2013
Family Wealth “The rise in the renter population with no net increase in the owner population at a time of housing recovery automatically means greater unequal distribution of wealth. Housing wealth is rising because of price increases, but the wealth is going to the fewer and fewer households who happen to be homeowners and those who own more than one home.” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors NAR 8/2013
