When Will the U.S. Real Estate Market Recover?
It is difficult if not impossible to tell how long the real estate market will be in the dumps. This article, however, will take a look at what caused the housing crisis and what lingering effects still remain. From there we will offer an opinion about how much longer the real estate market will be affected.
Fueling the buildup of the housing boom were sub-prime mortgage bonds created by Wall St. This was a huge money maker for those banks. They needed more and more loans to issue more and more bonds, and this motivated lenders to lower lending standards. They knew that Wall St. banks would purchase any loan they could write, even those to people who didn’t have jobs and couldn’t afford a mortgage. The feeling that home prices could only go higher was also behind the frenzy.
Although it was felt that risks were low with these bonds, there were so many loans made to people who couldn’t afford to pay them that the numbers of defaults were huge. This caused the bonds based on those mortgages to become worthless.
To get an idea about how many subprime loans were being made, in 2006 it has been reported that there were more than $600 billion worth of them. An assumption that the average mortgage was written for $200 thousand dollars would mean that in 2006 alone 3 million homes were purchased with subprime mortgages.
If one makes the assumption that these kinds of lending rates took place for four years, then 12 million homes were bought using subprime mortgage loans. If one fourth of that total went into foreclosure, then three million homes will be eventually be foreclosed upon for just that four year period. This might even be a conservative estimate because one million foreclosures occurred in 2010, and a bit more than that are anticipated in 2011. Banks are even holding back on some foreclosure paperwork in order to keep from inundating the market even more.
So it appears that the large backlog of foreclosures will continue to unravel for a least anther couple of years before it looks anything like normal. The foreclosure process is long, and this will add time, as will the time it takes to sell these homes and clear them from the market. A good guess, then, is that the real estate market, especially for new homes, will continue to struggle for another three or four years. New homes are having particular difficulty because they have trouble competing on price with low cost foreclosure properties.
