Is The U.S. In Another Housing Bubble?

The U.S. housing market has been an unlikely beneficiary from the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the pandemic, home prices have climbed at a record pace. The median price for an existing home reached over $363,000 in June 2021, a 23.4% year-over-year increase.
“You can see in just basically the last 15 months or so, we’ve seen a dramatic acceleration in home price growth to levels we haven’t seen in decades,” CoreLogic chief economist Frank Nothaft said.
However, according to most experts, the market is shaping up to look more like a boom rather than a bubble.
“We say bubble because we can’t believe how much prices have gone up,” CNBC real estate correspondent Diana Olick said. “A bubble tends to be something that’s inflated that could burst at any minute and change and that’s not really the case here.”
While speculation certainly is a factor, the main cause for the current housing demand is low mortgage rates. At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate sat at 3.45%. By July of this year, that number had dropped to 2.87%.
Supply is also an issue. According to the National Association of Realtors, the U.S. has underbuilt its housing needs by at least 5.5 million units over the past 20 years. That’s a stark comparison to the previous housing bubble in 2008 when overbuilding was the issue.
“So we’ve got a boost in demand that’s due to record low mortgage rates and we’ve got a shrinkage of supply,” Nothaft said. “So between more demand and less supply, prices are up and they’re up at the fastest pace since the 1970s.”

@@SaintAnix. it would cause another recession because of general human emotions and behavior. Many would see the price drops, try to sell their own before it falls even more. Many would chose to default on their loans because why pay $2,500 a month for a home that is now only worth $1,800? Then banks begin foreclosing adding even more inventory driving prices even lower. All while they’re losing billions and even risk bankruptcy. Then Gov may need to bail them out (though I hope they don’t. Let them fail). This causes a cascade of ripple effects throughout the economy. Many people see the fear in the market and decide to save instead of spend. Meaning businesses make less money and are forced to lay off workers. Adding even more to the problem. Perception is everything.

You can bet on two things. Financial analysts are always late - downgrades are never a sell signal [being too late], just confirmation of something bottoming out. After that, economists are almost always wrong, since the training offered by most colleges are a prism of government manipulations, not commerce/finance based reality viewed through a laissez faire lens. When is the last time you heard anyone mention 'marginal productivity of debt' [especially in connection with government borrow & spend habits]? In my lifetime, I can't think of it ever happening on TV. Bartiromo is smart enough to notice, but... I'm too cheap to pay for cable, so maybe I missed it. Between these two groups, we see a bankable point [if you can preserve cash into a downturn]: a "recession" being marked for media consumption as three consecutive quarters of negative growth... that is the exact moment most corrections bottom out, and it's time to start looking for deals. But calling a top? Hardest thing to do in the world: the tipping point of anything having gone logarithmic is a true art form. But I think we all have one or two family members that are epic in their bad timing: they ask "should I buy?" means things are white hot and it's time to take profits or a short position.

@@bengagnon2894 Meh, for the price of a 2nd hand hatchback, i can buy a fully furnished home complete with appliances. Live in it for 5-10 years till stuff starts falling apart & then go buy another one. This is much better than when i lived in houses. When i lived in houses it cost me a fortune every time i had to move, and maybe i'd have some equity in my home to cover the expenses & let me break even on it, but more likely id end up having to sell that home in the middle of a crashing market/economy & lose my shirt on it. And then have to spend thousands more moving my stuff and finding somewhere else to rent/buy etc etc etc. Housing market in the USA is far too volatile now to be a safe investment for regular people. Back in the 50s 60s 70s and 80s it was a no-brainer that buying a home was a solid investment, but the deregulated banks took care of that. Now its just as much of a crapshoot as anything else. There are zero protections for the consumer in the modern US housing market. The old saying goes that if you look around the poker table and cant tell who the sucker is... its probably you. When you enter into a 30 year deal with BofA... you can bet your ass that THEY are not the sucker at the table. Over the last 5 years of RV living, ive saved enough money that i could just buy a house outright now.. but theres no way i'll do it. Not in this backward country anyway.

The biggest thing driving the housing bubble is the rent bubble. Rent is too damn high. When it cost $1500 to rent a 3 bedroom apartment in a suburban area, that means that the same couple living in an apartment can afford a mortgage with a loan balance of around $350,000. I recently moved from Texas to Indiana and was looking for an apartment to live in while building a home and $1500 was the going rate for an 1,200 square foot apartment 3BR. I bought a 2,700 sq ft home at 413,000 for $1,900 ish a month. There is ZERO reason why rent is so high, other than renters can pay it and property managers can get it. Even when I first moved out on my own 13 years ago, I rented a 1 bedroom apartment (700 ish square feet) the rent was around 800 a month. I bought my first house (1146 sq ft, 2 car garage, .3 acre lot, 3br 2ba) for $105k and my payment was below $700/mo with a 5% interest rate. IMHO I feel like rent should always be significantly lower than a mortgage, otherwise there is little benefit to renting.

As a millennial I’m going to sound like a boomer saying this right now… no one should buy a house that they can not afford to put 20% down and plan on staying for 7-10 years so you can weather the storm of a decrease in value..And you should always have an emergency fund on top of your down payment… it took my wife and I five years of diligent saving and living way below our means before we pulled the trigger on buying at what some would have called the height of the market in 2018. And if you think it’s too expensive don’t buy now.. it’s ok to rent. The whole attitude of I want this house and I want it now can be the cause of a lot of financial strain. Check your emotions.. Not all markets are exploding in value like the media states.. If the market does drop and you take these steps you all should be fine. Wishing everyone the best of luck.

@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel For sure everyone's life situation is different. I would pay less than 20% if that was the case as well... In the Baltimore region, rent is relatively affordable even in the nice areas and there are plenty of homes... IF my monthly mortgage payment, taxes and pmi was less than the rent after putting less than 20% down , then the neighborhood would be less desirable.

I guess the "free" market did not have the incentive to build houses from concrete because marked-up cheaper houses make a higher profit. Yay capitalism! Houses made of wood do not age well on average, it's a fact. Each buyer pushes the deteriorating house to a poorer buyer.

I can't think of any other type of bubble where we routinely explain it away by saying that people who are buying into it can afford their payments. Bubbles don't require a "economic catastrophe" to pop and don't pop when people can't afford to buy anymore - especially when "buying" entails taking out a negative-real-interest non-recourse loan. Bubbles operate on exactly one principal: the anticipation of future price increases. The pop simply because that can't go on forever. Now, if someone wants to make an argument for prices increases due to the anticipation of future (hyper)inflation, or a permanent state of undersupply of a basic necessity like shelter, then I'd listen. It's just that if that's the case, then you're looking at the collapse of much more than just a housing bubble.

[@melissahouse3488]

Being active and having been accepted on numerous properties in the madness, I disagree with the lady that said there won't be a burst, simply due to the fact that buyer's were having to increase & increase & increase on their budget, because nothing in lower-mid range was really available and if it was, it required so much work you'd likely be paying for out of your own pocket or having to take out additional rehab loan if that's even possible... I was someone who was approved for a lot higher than what I felt right about, but again we as buyer's were having to go outside our comfort zone for something, anything, this results in higher mortgage payment than we may feel equipped for, likely higher tax range annually, and many people I'm shocked don't have twenty percent to put down which should be required to prove responsibility. I think a lot of people over paid big time on property's and won't be able to handle the high payments plus maintenance on the place, they spent it all trying to overbid and were left with nothing to put towards upgrading the house. I am not alone, I know people who are waiting for foreclosures to start so they can go buy. Over paying massively for property's of course is going to have a lot of negative implications long term, for everyone. These people will lose money and property's will decrease in value due to lack of being able to afford maintenance, all these factors hurt everyone, it hurts the neighborhood, the economy, many of them are not likely to get back what they paid unless they upgrade the house and now they're in a more narrow market the more pricey it gets. This was a more fair analysis than I've seen with the full blown arrogance & gloating, but there is still a bit of that denial & too bad for the commoner's they don't matter anyway tone and profuse insistence there will not be negative consequences to this, I'll be really surprised if nothing starts unraveling from something so huge & corrupt over the next few years time. It's inevitable as far as I'm concerned, people overpaid by a lot!!! They neglected to touch that crucial detail but that detail can cause a pretty bad ripple affect.

In my liberal, Democratic controlled city, there is rent control. This past year, the maximum rent increase was 2.3%. If you have lived in your apartment for years and pay way below market rent, your landlord can't increase your rent by 50% or more just because the rental market has skyrocketed. Rent control protects families and the elderly from being forced out onto the streets.

[@Ariaga_II]

This isn’t 2006. At that time an adjustable rate mortgage made sense to flip a home as the ARM rates were considerably lower than a traditional mortgage as rates kept increasing. You also had regulations that encouraged sub prime loans to thrive as many people from all walks of life were purchasing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th homes as investment properties. Today, you have the lowest mortgage interest rates in history and no real difference between a traditional 30 year mortgage and an ARM. Sub-Prime loans are kind of a thing of the past as you now need to be well qualified to get financing compared to 15 years ago. I don’t think it’s a bubble. The market is overbought, but I don’t think the correction will be more than 10% once supply goes back up.

yes very lucky and was also aware and able to jump on the opportunity. What did he/she do for a place to live in Colorado?. What makes it much better is the generous tax-free capital gains on residential real estate if you live in it for 2 years. I think this has been one of the biggest drivers of real estate to go up. Sadly the real estate sales commission fees have been a huge boon for real estate brokers.. at the expense of real estate buyers and sellers. I am looking at some big disrupters in this space that are going to drive those costs down substantially.. just like that have driven down the commission costs to buy and sell stocks. As this happens.. it will open more opportunities for more people to enjoy the benefits of real estate ownership.. and will make this asset more liquid as well. keep n eye on RDFN, for example.

@@pyro5624 some of these buyers buy because of FOMO, then pay half (or more) of their take home pay to the mortgage. And some are large investors. There are LOTS of videos on KZbin of couples who bought in the past few months and regret it, some of these people didn’t even want a house, but for some reason bought anyway… like ooookkkk… Doesn’t have sense. I think housing prices will cool to pre-pandemic levels in the next 2-3 years. Honestly, a crash is the last thing you’d want because it’ll have further reaching devastation than just housing prices violently coming down (ie. Job loss, and homelessness). Also, the idea of home ownership is great and all, but keep in mind that houses are constantly in need of maintenance. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who lives in a house for 10 years and doesn’t spend a dime on maintenance (AC/Heating repair, new roof, foundation repair, insect infestation, etc). And if you think ‘that’s what insurance is for’, OK, just realize that when you make a claim to the insurance company (let’s say a new roof) is like a strike on your record with them, and when the policy comes up for renewal it will be noticeably higher (you’ll pay for those repairs one way or your mother… 😋)

We are definitely in a housing bubble, but no one knows when it is going to pop. The demand is twisted by speculators. I personally know many people who have multiple houses with minimum down payment, and rely on the rent to pay for the mortgage. Any economic downturn, they will be in trouble. Long term though, I mean at least 5 to 10 years, housing price will probably be higher than it is now, like everything else. If you really need a house and you can hold it for long term, you can buy it now. For investment, housing is a very inefficient investment, comparing to stocks. Stocks beat housing pretty much in any long term period and it is much flexible.

[@magnushem5130]

The issue is that the reason the price went up was an explosive demand combined with an average supply, ei. alot of people switching houses. However this demand will not continue as people don't move that frequently. What we are seeing now is a crash in people buying homes but prices are still at the peak. This means more supply, less demand, but still increase in prices. What will happen is that houses will keep being sold at record price. But as soon as interest rates increase, people can no longer afford the overpriced houses meaning prices will drop. This will further increase supply as the people who bought at the peak will want to sell out. And there you have your crash. Alternatively we will see higher inflation overall which generally is a bad thing.

I thought it was strange that nobody mentioned the supply chain chaos that has affected new homes being built. When a brand new houses are being built, and builders are in competition with each other, it helps to decrease prices. When new homes have lower prices, 30-year-old, unimproved, nothing-special ranch-style houses won't be listed for top dollar, because they can't compete with a perfect, new house. When materials to build houses are available, and more new homes are available the market stabilize. I don't want to be the one stuck in the overpriced old house.

[@Tjp361]

Unless builders seriously reduce the size of their homes - to genuinely make them comparable to these 20, 30, 40 year old homes - I would agree. As of late, it's extremely hard to find a new home that isn't at least 3 bedrooms and 2,000 + square feet. This increases the competition for inner suburb low 1K square foot homes as those are the size many current buyers (couples, singles, small families) want. We need new SMALLER supply to genuinely make a dent is across the housing market. With my market, it only appears the new supply is hampering values of other mcmansion 2-3K square feet homes.

It's crazy here in Canada too. I live about 2 hours north of Toronto.

This is a small town, it's not downtown big city like Toronto. A town of 31,000. Another thing happening is some buy the houses and turn them into duplex-triplex and rent out small apartments in them for really high prices. Basically what it would cost in a mortgage just a few years ago. This is a disaster in the making. Then you have Blackrock investment buying up huge amount of houses, turning them into Air BnB and this is also a HUGE thing right now with people buying houses. They don't live in them. They rent them out as Air BnB and can make thousands of dollars a month, far more than renting it to permanent tenant.
