LOL, Top Ten Contradictory Statements I have ever heard in my life. He cancelled his point with the next prediction at almost every turn. I appreciate the attempt at spreading some inspiration the troop’s way but the economy is still going to be twisting in the wind for another decade. What happens when Big Brother stops spending an average of 4.25 Trillion dollars in deficit spending? At some point the hole we are digging is going to have to be filled in.
@vaughnparry There is truly very little about Dave Liniger that is contradictory - the man had vision, has vision and is Above the Crowd in his knowledge and understanding of real estate. We can be negative continually & wallow in it - I've been doing this for 22 years & understand well how hard this has been for many years but even in times of twisting in the wind - people buy & sells homes - get new jobs, get laid off, & we have to adjust - we can't wait for change, we have to be the change.
@HomesGalore That doesn't change the fact that if point number 2 is correct points 4, 5, 7 and 8 have to incorrect or inconsequential to the markets decline. Again, as I stated I appreciate is optimism but we are far from the bottom of the market. Trying to pretend that is some other way is just not being fair to you. I'm in Oregon where values have actually only dropped about 20-25%, unlike some others that are down 75%. I’m not wallowing I’m just not afraid to think for myself.
@vaughnparry Hey man - you aren't looking at the full picture, and you aren't taking more info than what is in the video into account. I'm in Portland, too, and there are houses coming on the market every day at costs not much above the cost of the land they're on ($49K to $80K). Prices can't get much lower, so #2 is true. #4 is true for multiple reasons, 2 of the biggest being that there are currently 6 million homes in the foreclosure process, meaning that (to be continued) ...
@vaughnparry ... many of these will be on the market as short sales or bank owned houses this year; and as prices rise, homeowners will be more willing to put their house on the market (this will be toward the end of the year). #5 is true because all these foreclosures and short sales will owned by people who couldn’t afford or were too distraught to make any repairs; maybe even caused damage before they leave. (to be continued)
@vaughnparry ... #7 will be likely be true because the percentage of investor owned property will increase even more so than last year, meaning that these properties will become rentals for average families, meaning that more homes will be owned by less people (investors) rather than more people owning one primary residence. #8 is true because the investors have the money and the knowledge and the willingness to take risk and recognize that we have indeed, (to be continued) ...
@vaughnparry ... in some parts of the country, reached (or come very close) to the bottom in prices, and they will continue to buy as prices start to rise. I'm not a rich investor - i work 48 hrs per week and have $10K in the bank - but i receive watch lists of properties at certain values, and every time i know it's a good deal, so does everyone else - i've seen properties in the last 3 months with 11 offers on them. Believe me, prices have to become stable this year and start rising.
@Santuario70 I hope that you are right and I am not. I really do, but we are in a global economy as they say and Europe is about to have a financial crisis that is going to make our look like a road bump. China has a housing bubble that is going to make ours look like a pop. Retail sales were up over Christmas because it's the first time American's have gone back into debt for the holidays. We are going into an economic winter for the next decade we are nowhere near the bottom.
@vaughnparry you make some good points. if the global economy continues to tank and drags the US recovery down with it, the real estate parameters will change. but prices near $50K for a lot are not likely to change much in places like portland. that has got to be pretty much the bottom. prices should still stabilize, if only driven by investors alone. i still think home prices will rise by the end of the year. and note that retail sales have almost nothing to do with real estate.
@Santuario70 You did notice that the retail numbers for last month were just corrected today right. Sales up! .01%. The house of cards is getting awfully flimsy; gas prices should hit $5.00 by summertime as the artificial repression during Christmas has ended with a quickness; as our beloved government tried to keep the maximum amount of cash in consumers hands over the holidays. I wonder how much the payoffs for that favor will cost us under the table, behind their closed door.
Dave, thanks for the video. Were it not for the RE/Max plugs other Real Estate firms would be sending this out to clients & prospective clients.
I am a Social Media Consultant & I agree that agents should be more involved in Social Media. Smartphones will also play a greater part in sales. People out looking for their dream home will call the number on the sign if they see their dream home. They will scan the QR code on the sign for more info.
Thank you Dave for sharing some positive insights of true elements that will trigger some improvements of the real estate market in the U.S. in 2012. Realizing that confidence in the future is an asset, I am a strong believer that seeing the glass of water half full rather than half empty...
Thanks Dave...great information in a 3 minute segment. Montgomery, AL remains stable--but after your interview-I know a market to target--the kids still living with mom and dad, but out in the work force. thanks for the knowledge.
Interesting comment LoanFraudExpert. "ALL you making comments are DUMB" (my caps for emphasis) - REALLY? Says more about you frankly. Next, you're position - "cant not happen" (poor English) is simply wrong. (continue below)
Remember the subject of supply & demand in your econ classes? #2 can be correct with #3 & #4 if both the supply (sellers) & demand (buyers) increase in proportion - thus stable prices. Inventory will rise because sellers will respond to more buyers coming into the market, and most of those sellers will also become buyers. Therefore an increase in sales with proportionate demand (equal buyers and sellers) maintains stable prices. (continue below)
#2 can be correct with #5; your assumption that distressed properties will automatically decreases values / prices is not an absolute. Prices can remain stable if inventory is proportionate to demand, and in fact, can increase with the purchase power of low interest rates (buyers with easy money are more liberal in spending), and with increased consumer confidence with an improved job market (buyers more confident and thus more liberal in spending).
All you making comments are dumb. #2 cant not happen with #3,4,5 happening. That is conflicting data. Sorry, to burst your bubble. PS. I am working on loan fraud issues that will help change the way banks treat foreclosure and short sales. If your client has been the victim of loan fraud find me. brianr at predma dot com.
Dave - your wisdom & knowledge never lets us down! You always have your thumb on the pulse! I can't wait for the short sale process to streamline. I see some improvement, but they have a ways to go - where right hand & left need to communicate better with each other. Last year was unbelievable & looking forward to a blowout year in 2012! See you in Las Vegas!
I'm right on track with all these projections except perhaps number 6. As much as I'd like to believe lenders will improve their short sale processes, we've heard them say this before and nothing has really changed. I hope I'm wrong, especially with half of all 2012 sales being distressed. Thanks Dave.
Thank you! Leveraging what ReMax offers made 2011 the best year of my career. 2012 will beat that record. Being purposeful and having clarity in tasks helped my customers gain confidence. Excellent predictions.
Nobody puts as much relevant information in a 3-minute opinion as Dave. He's the smartest man in real estate, and we're knocked out that he's going to be at our 35th annual Statewide Convention in Texas! MS
we are seeing supply low and demand high in the Atlanta metro area. This leads to the rise of prices, gaining equity back for the seller. It's a great time to buy with rates at the lowest point I have experienced in the 32 years I have served this market. I totally agree, consumer confidence is the key and our full schedule seems to be evidence of confidence by buyers and those needing assistance with distressed properties. GaHomeInfodotcom
Of course I'm going to believe what a Realtor says.
