Worst Real Estate Market Forecasts in 2008

Destin, FL (PRWEB) January 14, 2008

Double-digit deflation dominates the Annual Worst 25 Housing Predictor Market Forecasts for 2008 with more California real estate markets making the list than any other state. California is experiencing the most rapid rate of home deflation with prices falling at unprecedented levels.

All-time record foreclosures and a weak mortgage market are seeing home values plummet from their record highs. For the second year in a row Miami, Florida leads the list, which may be under going the worst housing crash in the nation’s history. Miami has seen a record condo boom turn into a huge real estate bust.

The Worst 25 Housing Market forecasts are selected from more than 250 local housing markets forecast by Housing Predictor, which updates its predictions throughout the entire calendar year to keep visitors to its web site up to date on real estate markets in all 50 U.S. states.

Leading Wall Street investment bankers, real estate companies, new home builders, investors, home owners and many of the country’s largest retailers depend on Housing Predictor for their forecasts. Housing Predictor forecast 86% of its forecasts correctly within a 1-2 percent margin in 2007.

Markets in Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, Indiana and Georgia are among the states to place cities on the Worst 25 list. Declining home sales and record foreclosures have led to a spiraling deflationary cycle in housing sales, which has been troubled by the credit crunch and other mortgage problems.

Foreclosures have reached record levels in the majority of states and are only forecast to worsen in the new year as more than 2-million adjustable rate mortgages are reset in the next 18 months.

The housing crisis has sent jitters through investors on Wall Street, some of whom invested in mortgage securities funding the loans before realizing the real estate market in most areas of the country had gotten too artificially inflated by the securities.

The housing crisis is forecast to worsen through the year as the Federal Reserve deals with trying to get a handle on the problem. Increasing unemployment and a national economic slow down have added to the nation’s mortgage woes.

A real estate investing website firm, http://www.RealEstateInvestorsWebsites.net has released upgraded real estate investor websites for buying and selling houses.

The motivated sellers then receive a series carefully timed auto-responder marketing messages targeted towards converting them from being cold leads to willing home sellers. This enhanced automation is meant to convert more leads to closed deals while spending less time and effort.

When selling houses, the websites are now more equipped for building a list of people who buy houses in the local market. This makes it possible to sell subsequent houses fast whether they are selling regular homes or wholesale deals to other real estate investors.

U.S. Real Estate Investment Firm Partners with Top 5 European
Bank to Rescue America’s Commercial Real Estate Banks

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) February 2, 2011

ICP Financial, a top real estate investment firm in the United States, today announced it has signed an agreement with a Top 5 European Bank. This allows ICP Financial to buy distressed property and mortgage portfolio’s directly from American banks, for purchases between $ 5 million to $ 180 million at a time. The partnership allows ICP Financial to leverage the financial fire power of its new backer, in bailing out small to mid-sized American banks in trouble, so they can immediately start increasing revenue.

In some cases, the firm also arranges private financing for banks in distress to raise more capital. According to ICP Financial’s Managing Director, Brad Wozny, “We are extremely excited with this relationship. Everyone knows the wave of distressed commercial real estate mortgages coming due will continue. And with foreclosures in the United States expected to jump another 20% this year, American banks will be in a world of hurt.

Their risk of being seized by the FDIC is huge. To avoid this from happening, they’ll need to quickly sell part, or all of, their mortgage and foreclosed property portfolio’s, and we’re here to help them do that. Then they can re-capitalize, and kick start their lending operations once again. With this agreement in place, we can help out many of those banks who are in distress quickly and efficiently.”

About their Europe-based banking partner, Wozny says, “They are global, have more than 50,000 employees, are well respected, and have nearly 125 years of banking experience. We are grateful they have selected our firm to help locate, analyze, and structure the bailout of small and mid-sized commercial real estate banks.”

When asked why commercial real estate lenders would need such a service, Wozny explains, “Only banks who gave out residential mortgages received TARP money from the government. Commercial real estate lenders didn’t receive a penny of the benefits residential lenders are getting. And now with commercial real estate bank lenders, it’s a double-edged sword. Because they don’t have government bailout money, and the market is in a recession, their foreclosures are piling up. And the FDIC is watching them like a hawk. So, in order to survive and thrive once again, they need to sell their distressed portfolio’s fast to raise cash, lend again, and avoid being seized by the FDIC. In certain cases, we may also arrange for these commercial real estate lenders to receive money in advance of a sale of their assets. There are lots of options for them when we work together.”

Destin, FL (PRWEB) May 19, 2008

The drop in real estate prices is beginning to produce a favorable bi-product in many areas of the country — more affordable housing. The new annual Housing Predictor Most Affordable Real Estate Market list has been released, and it pin-points where economic conditions are promising over the next two years, despite fallout from the credit crisis.

The Center for Housing Policy reports that the number of family renters paying more than half their income for housing soared nationally from 1 million to a new record high of 2.1 million during the real estate boom, pricing many out of the housing market. But the trend is beginning to reverse itself.

“A common misperception exists that there are large subsidy and grant programs for housing and these monies can be easily accessed at any time,” according to the center. “In reality, public expenditures overall for affordable housing have been decreasing.” Since home prices vary drastically from one area of the country to another, affordable housing means different things to different areas.

There are a variety of mechanisms to make housing more affordable. Units can be built and operated by government agencies, as in public housing. But in large part, the government has stopped subsidizing programs and instead provides subsidies to private for-profit and not-for-profit developers. Many of these programs also include minimum requirements regarding the number of units that must be affordable to people making 30, 50, or even 80% of the area median income.

The strong likelihood of growth and good job stability are high on the list of factors which determine markets that make the annual most affordable list. The affordability of homes in all markets of the country that Housing Predictor tracks is the chief component. Five of the markets are located in the southern half of the country.

Housing Predictor forecasts more than 250 local housing market futures in all 50 states and regularly updates forecasts as local market conditions demand. Find the new most affordable real estate market list and check your market’s forecast at http://www.housingpredictor.com.

Major Real Estate Market Forecasts Announced

Destin, Fla. (PRWEB) January 6, 2009

Housing Predictor announces annual real estate market forecasts for the top 25 metropolitan housing markets in the U.S. The online real estate research firm forecasts more than 250 local housing markets in all 50 states, including the top 25 major markets based on population density.

The major metropolitan forecasts are derived from all the forecasts the company issues. Consumers, mortgage companies, leading bankers, Wall Street firms, real estate agents, appraisers and many of the nation’s top companies consult Housing Predictor for forecasts, which are updated throughout the year as local market conditions change. Housing Predictor forecasts are considered to be among the most dependable in the industry.

All 50 states forecasts for 2009 have been added to the Housing Predictor web site along with profiles on market conditions detailing what the future holds for market places in the New Year. Housing Predictor analysts are constantly on the hunt for new information on real estate markets they monitor to keep real estate owners, buyers and investors up to date on their market place.

Housing Predictor forecasted the national real estate recession in 2007 and was the first research firm to forecast the foreclosure epidemic, which has rocked the national economy.

As real estate markets continue their turbulence in 2009 and the second round of adjustable rate mortgages reset, foreclosures are projected to rise nationally.

Housing Predictor will also be issuing an extension to it’s’ foreclosure forecast after the Barack Obama Administration is sworn into office in Washington, D.C. More than 3.3-million homes have already been foreclosed as a result of the credit crisis and fallout from the deteriorating real estate market, and at least 3.1-million more homes are forecast to be foreclosed.
