This Mobile Home for sale is not in a park so there is no space rent, you own the land.
(Money Magazine) -- After three years of slumping house prices, the end of the real estate bust may finally be in sight. Home sales are rising, inventories are shrinking, and most economists believe values nationwide will hit bottom in the second half of the year -- but not before falling another 5% to 10% first.
Prices after that should stay mostly flat until 2012. "Next year will clearly be better than this year," says Mike Larson, a real estate analyst at Weiss Research. "Prices may drop a little more, but the lion's share of the damage is behind us."
One positive byproduct of the 30% plunge in prices since the 2006 peak: Houses are now more affordable than at any time in the past two decades, according to the National Association of Home Builders -- good news for anyone looking to buy.
Then too, mortgage rates, now at 5.15%, should stay low for the first few months, thanks in part to the Federal Reserve's ongoing purchase of mortgage-backed securities. But if the economy really picks up steam and inflation fears resurface in the second half of the year, rates could rise as high as 5.25% to 6.5%.
If you hope to sell your home or rebuild lost equity, there's new hope. One plus is that Congress has recently extended the first-time homebuyer credit, and even expanded it to include those with higher incomes and current homeowners.
But with layoffs high, defaults should remain problematic, hitting wealthy areas even harder next year, says Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR, a consulting firm. In fact, 30% of recent foreclosures were on higher-priced homes -- nearly double the 2006 rate.
Wild card: If the Fed stops buying mortgage securities in March as planned and private investors don't step up, rates could spike to 6% or higher sooner and faster than expected, slowing demand and pushing prices down.
Signs to watch: Steady growth in single-family housing permits (track it at census.gov) indicates that builders believe buyers are returning to the market.
The action plan
Buyers: Make your move now. Have you been on the sidelines waiting for prices to go lower before house shopping and bidding in earnest? Don't hold off much longer.
"The market will remain tilted in favor of the buyer over the next year, but that power will gradually be reduced as conditions in the housing market improve," says Larson at Weiss Research. You'll have plenty of homes to choose from as foreclosures continue to pile up and more homeowners list their houses in an improving market. Be sure to keep a close eye on mortgage rates. If they rise sharply as the Fed's mortgage buyback program draws to a close, act quickly to lock in a low fixed rate.
Anyone looking to buy or invest in a lower-priced, entry-level home should expect competition. Put down as much cash as possible (many investors are offering to make all-cash deals); come in below the listing price and there's a good chance you'll lose to another bidder.
But demand is much softer for middle- to top-tier homes, particularly those priced above $500,000. The supply is greater too, so you'll be in a stronger bargaining position. Offer at least 10% below what comparable homes have sold for lately (your realtor can supply this info). That way you won't take a hit if prices of higher-end homes fall another 10% or more, which is very likely, Shapiro says.
Sellers: Postpone listing your home, if possible. Sellers next year will be unloading property at what's likely to be the very bottom. Ouch. Hold out for a few more years, so you'll compete against fewer foreclosures, increasing the chances your home will fetch a higher price.
Delaying your sale isn't an option? Act fast before prices drop further. To expedite a sale, don't try to compete on price with foreclosures and short sales (when the bank allows owners to sell for less than they owe on their mortgage); most of the time, you can't win. Instead play up your home's strengths. Foreclosures typically need a lot of work, and short sales can take months. So make necessary repairs, throw in a paint job and new carpeting since buyers may be short on cash after the down payment, and offer a fast and flexible closing date. That will attract people willing to pay more for a home that's in move-in condition and a deal they can close quickly.
Owners: Look into refinancing, and rein in spending on home improvements. You're a prime candidate for refinancing if you have an adjustable-rate mortgage and will be in your home for at least five years. There's no reason to wait; you won't get a better deal than you will now.
As for fixing up the place, now's not the time to spend serious money; since prices aren't likely to snap back soon, you won't see much of a return on your investment. Focus on lower-cost cosmetic fixes, like painting and landscaping, and basic projects that improve functionality and design, such as adding molding or doing a basic bathroom remodel.
Ticket sales for the Paradise High School House of Sports fundraising raffle have risen to an all-time high in the past week with the announcement of planned open house tours starting Thanksgiving Weekend.
According to Project Coordinator Jack Danielson, 150 tickets were sold in the past week, which is more than any previous week throughout the process. It brought the total sales to approximately 850 tickets, which sold for $100 each. That means the project has raised $85,000 of the targeted goal - $500,000 with the intent of keeping high school sports programs intact. Now 4,150 tickets remain.
And the three-bedroom house, located at 1856 Conifer Drive, is nearly completed due to the site management of Trilogy Construction, donations from local businesses and numerous volunteers. Once the open house tours begin Nov. 28 and 29, project coordinators hope to see sales soar. The open house events will also feature raffle drawings for $2.50 tickets. Visitors can win many prizes contributed by local businesses, and the grand prize is a raffle ticket for the house drawing.
"We are going to hold the event of the year hoping the ticket sales will skyrocket once the house is seen by the public," said Joan Swingle, House of Sports Designer and Decorator. Even as the project is coming to completion, the house is still drawing donations. Swingle said it seems "Christmas is coming early to Paradise" and to the high school sports program, with donations from companies and individuals.
She said an exciting thing happened just the other day when Lincoln Hardware, a company located in North Carolina, offered to donate the custom cabinet hardware free of charge. The company had initially offered a discount for the House of Sports, but the west coast sales manager called earlier this week to relay the news that Lincoln decided to donate the hardware. Swingle said it appears Paradise and this project, in particular, is being "touched by the nation," with generosity of spirit and heart coming from outside the community.
In addition, local business owners Mike and Robin Bitker -Booster Vice President and Secretary, have stepped up to support the program by donating $500 towards the raffle prizes.
"They have set the bar high in graciousness and responding to the needs of the young men and women knowing all too well the criticality of the success of the House Of Sports Fundraiser," Swingle said. "There will not be any school budgeted sports programs next year if this fundraiser is not a success."
For information regarding the house, ticket sales, or to donate prizes for upcoming raffle events, please call Joan Swingle at Joan Swingle's Decorator's Delight (530) 228-9522 or go online and view the webpage www.keepoursports.com. Tickets can also be purchased through the mail by sending a check payable to PHS Boosters to Decorator's Delight at 5790 Clark Road Paradise, Calif., 95969.
