While he wrote about some of the elements in the past, Mark Fleming sums up the current state of constraints of supply and demand for housing in the latest edition of CoreLogic market pulse. Who delivers, Chief Economist of the company said, is one of the factors that underlie the current flickering of repossession of a dwelling and contribute to what he calls the new normal housing.
First of all, there is a pent-up housing - supply homes that could be, but are not available for sale. Inventory of the shadows, process of foreclosure houses (some definitions include the houses with the potential of foreclosure) has worried economists since the beginning of the foreclosure crisis. Even if the fear is that these houses, once they become possessed, the Bank could overwhelm the market they came to the place on the market a fairly measured pace as foreclosure timelines stretched into years and provided a source of low-cost housing for first-time buyers and investors. Inventory is now become concentrated in a few States of judicial foreclosure and REO (bank-owned houses) are available for sale.
What calls Fleming " locking in the interest rate" is a second constraint on supply and can also be considered a second source of the shadow inventory. The wave of refinancing as interest bottomed out of a rate resulted in nearly half of the homes mortgaged with a mortgage rate of less than 4.5%. As rates increase those owners will have a disincentive to sell and lose this rate.
The third source of supply pumped is the large number of houses that are under water - or rather, under-equitied - with loan-to-value ratio of 81 percent or more. While it requires no special device such as a short sale to sell these homes, lack of fairness serves to discourage the owners trying to sell in the first place, that it limited financing options on their next home. This, of course, assumes that the potential home-sellers have additional liquidity to bring to the table for their purchase of "move-up".
Fleming said that many of the causes of pent of food are mirrored on the demand side. Underwater homes are absent from the supply of homes, but their owners are also absent from the demand side. Even if they manage to sell their existing homes, they lost what has always been an important source of the downpayment on the following. While the low-downpayment mortgages are still available, they come at the cost of guarantees of loans FHA or private mortgage insurance.
Tight is another constraint on request. Some loans being come for those who have less than 640 credit scores, which means that on a quarter of the populations eligible traditional credit has some problems accessing credit. Increase in expenditure of funds (or the cost of the solution) also keeps buyers on the sidelines.
Institutional investors has turned to the single family market when prices and interest rates were low and rents were up, support the market at the lowest point in the housing bust. Now, these investors are pulling back from the market, further reduce demand.
Finally, the decline of the homeownership has resulted an increase in tenants, in particular among young people even if the rent increased sharply in retirement age groups. The generation of coming-of-age Millennium should provide some first-time buyers, but many in this generation have not formed their own household or rent.
Fleming said that the combination of these factors has resulted in less modestly in demand this year than the last. The decision to buy and sell are purely financial decisions, he said, but "Nevertheless, they could continue to reduce turnover in the market of housing for years to come. Welcome to the new normal housing. »
