Home Foreclosures Provide Lift For Rentals

Former homeowners who lost their properties to foreclosure are now pouring into the rental market.

Renters surged into the U.S. apartment market in the third quarter, pushing up rents and driving down vacancies.

The national vacancy rate fell to 7.2% in the third quarter from 7.8% the second quarter, one of the sharpest drops on record, according to New York-based real estate research firm Reis Inc. Rents increased 0.6% to an average of $980 a unit over the same period as landlords were able to cut back on free rent and other incentives that had been used to attract and retain tenants in a weak market.

Get Government Out Of The Housing Market

Housing Market

Housing Market

I’m all for removing government intervention in the housing market. But I also understand the pain we might have to endure if we did it all overnight. Perhaps instead of constantly looking for new ways of intervening, the government ought to start down the road of reducing future intervention by making the future purchase of new homes (those that haven’t gone beyond the planning stage) not eligible for any type of government backed loans. If buyers can come up with enough down payment to satisfy lenders to provide a loan free of government support, fine. Otherwise, let buyers seek already built homes. This is critical to removing more new supply from a market stock full of foreclosures. This might have a positive effect on home values, while also starting us down the road of less government intervention. Read more »

Bank’s Decision to Delay Foreclosures

home foreclosure delays

The news of major banks halting home foreclosures will have an adverse effect not only on the tepid recovery, but also on the entire economy. Yes, the longer the banks delay home foreclosures, the later the ‘real’ housing recovery can start.

Housing has generally represented 17-18% of the nation’s economy, as measured by Gross Domestic Product. With almost a fifth of the economy enduring pain as a large number of foreclosures grind through the system, the new normal of higher unemployment and slow growth appears to be the most likely course of the economy.

San Diego Mortgage Default Rate Drops

San Diego foreclosures

San Diego foreclosures

According to MDA DataQuick, a real estate analysis firm based in La Jolla, during the first half of this year, there were 5,458 notices of default in San Diego County and 3,315 foreclosures. The San Diego real estate default rate has dropped nearly 45 percent from last year!

A 45% decline in San Diego home foreclosures sounds good on the surface, but,  one should be aware of the fact that the huge number of  San Diego short sales  was the main cause of the drop in foreclosures.

If one considers the number of San Diego short sales,  the actual San Diego foreclosure rate has slid less than 6 percent.
