Better Days Ahead in Housing - Freddie Mac

Freddie Mac: Better Days Ahead in Housing
Freddie Mac's chief economist is optimistic that the housing market and economy will improve in the second half of 2011.
Freddie Mac Chief Economist Frank Nothaft said mortgage rates will likely remain historical lows of between 4.5 percent and 5 percent for the remainder of the year. Also, he expects more buyers to stop waiting on the sidelines as recent price drops in home prices have improved affordability.
Nothaft said consumers' uncertainty about the economy has caused them to delay home purchases and other "big-ticket items."
"Some potential buyers who have the means to buy are awaiting clearer signs that home values have firmed," Nothaft says.
But Nothaft says they should be getting their signs in the second half of th e year, with projected job gains, and a growing, improved economy.
"Even though near-term concerns over income and sales growth are restraining consumer spending, business hiring, and new building, a number of positive signs in the economy indicate that growth will continue and is likely to accelerate in the second half of this year," Nothaft said. "Look for a gradual improvement in housing activity in the coming year."

Mortgage Rates Hit 2011 LOW
Rates Hit Another 2011 Low
With employers adding far fewer private-sector jobs than anticipated, the latest Freddie Mac data shows that home loan rates fell for an eighth consecutive week to a new low for the year. The 30-year fixed mortgage averaged 4.49 percent, down from 4.55 percent the prior week. Interest on 15-year fixed loans, meanwhile, dipped to 3.68 percent from 3.74 percent. Five-year adjustable-rate mortgages sank to 3.28 percent from 3.41 percent, and one-year ARMs dropped to 2.95 percent from 3.13 percent.

Home Prices Hit Lowest Level in 2 Years
Home Prices Hit Lowest Level in 2 Years
The S&P/Case-Shiller index shows that U.S. home prices slid 4.2 percent in the first three months of this year, falling to the lowest point since 2009. The movement, with values now below pre-crisis levels, represents a "double dip." Wells Fargo Securities senior economist Mark Vitner notes that there are 2.2 million homes in foreclosure and another 2 million mortgages that are more than 90 days late. For prices to stabilize, he says, about a third of those foreclosures must be cleared.

FINDING THE RIGHT SALES PRICE ISN'T EASY
Daily Real Estate News

Finding the Right Sales Price Isn't Easy
In a volatile real estate market, knowing the right price for a home isn't always clear, experts say.
Having to drop a home's sale price from its initial list price is common. On average, sellers reduce their list prices after about 2.5 months by 8 percent when a property hasn't sold yet, according to a report by Trulia.com. After making one price reduction, 35 percent of those sellers will make a second price cut too.
Even homes without any obvious faults are undergoing price cuts, agents say.
Real estate pros are finding that to find the right price for a home is much more than comparing it to a set of comps. But determining a price to fit a few of a home's unique limitations isn't easy. For example, a 1946 five-bedroom home in a sought -after neighborhood in Scarsdale, N.Y., has had five sales price adjustments. It was first listed at $1.699 million and now is on the market for $1.278 million.
While buyer offers are coming in, real estate pro Claire Civetta with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Scarsdale, N.Y., says they are far below asking price. The home is on a busy road and doesn't have as large of buffer from street noise as other nearby homes.
So while comparable houses reveal this one to be well priced, Civetta says "the market has been telling us something else."
