27. Agenda Market Trends Near You The Big Creep Pros and the Cons

28. The Good • Economy Picking Up: Knocking on wood. • Boomerang Buyers: Itching to get back into the for-sale market. • Urgency Back: Prices not falling and how long will these mortgage rates last? • Inventory: How low can it go? • Rising Prices: With a vengeance. • Rising Sales: But already supply constrained.

29. 10% of 2013 demand from “boomerang” buyers

30. The “Concerning” • Prices Rising: Low payments still, but price to income not great anymore. • Mortgage Rates: Have to go up – and with them the payments to price ratio. • Investors: Organic buyers often shut out. • Inventory: Resales inventory has to go up – the chicken and egg phenomenon. • No Place to Build: We need to get lots to the market. • Be Careful of the Hype: But a hot market will eventually lead to mistakes.
