Real Estate Market 2016, 2017 and 2018

Real Estate Market 2016

This video is about real estate cycles. Since this was produced in November 2015 the cycle depicted by John in the video is his opinion of the current real estate market 2016. I believe his explanation of the real estate cycle is 100% correct, but what is open for interpretation is exactly where the market is in current time.

John Cochran will teach you all about the different Real Estate market cycles we will see in our lifetime AND how to predict “Shift” in Real Estate. Not only will he show you all about these cycles but most importantly you will know how to react in each one to make a boatload of money in each one.  See additional comments below the video.

Yes it’s easy to look back and determine where the market was, but it’s extremely difficult with any did degree of accuracy to say exactly where the real estate market is at the current time.

The same can be said of the stock market, but the big difference between the stock market and the residential real estate market is the fact that the stock market can have almost instantaneous corrections, where the real estate market takes many months and usually years before establishing a definitive trend.

2016 REAL ESTATE ADVICE

2016 REAL ESTATE ADVICE

Why Kevin O’Leary says real estate is one of the worst investments in 2016. Although Mr. O’Leary is talking about Canadian real estate in this video, I believe the same factors could apply to the Silicon Valley San Francisco Bay area of California as well as a number of the coastal communities in California. Click this link to read my 2016 San Diego real estate market outlook.

One flaw in Kevin’s theory is more often than not you can pay less on a mortgage then you can for rent so in five years after putting money in month after month the year of the year instead of have a equity you have nothing! Read more »

2016 Housing Affordability Outlook

2016  Housing Affordability Outlook – Constrains as Expansion Matures

Green Home Improvements - 2016 Housing Affordability Outlook

WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae’s (FNMA/OTC) Economic & Strategic Research (ESR) Group’s theme for the economy and housing market in 2016 centers on the challenge of housing affordability coupled with expected modest economic growth, as the expansion progresses through its seventh year. In their January 2016 Economic & Housing Outlook, the ESR Group expects that further labor market tightening will lead to increased household income and job security amid more relaxed lending standards and easier access to mortgage credit. However, strong home price gains, especially in the lower-end of the market, continue to outpace household income growth, eroding affordability. Consumer spending is expected to underpin economic growth again this year, while residential investment and government spending should help drive growth despite some drag from net exports. Overall, the ESR Group expects the economy to grow 2.2 percent for all of 2016, with China’s deteriorating economic activity, a stronger dollar, geopolitical turmoil, and uncertainty about monetary policy remaining downside risks to the outlook.
