2010 Forecasts for National and Sayreville & Piscataway New Jersey Real Estate Are In!

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realtors

From national and Sayreville & Piscataway New Jersey real estate to the U.S. economy, the predictions for 2010 are in.  Like any predictions, they vary from somewhat bright and cheery to doom and gloom:

 

CNBC's Realty Check predicts:

•·         the beginning of a housing market recovery mid-year

•·         higher foreclosure inventory

•·         rising mortgage rates, probably leveling off around six percent.

•·         suffering commercial real estate

 

The National Association of REALTORS®' (NAR) chief economist is projecting:

•·         A sustainable recovery.  The tax credit expansion will help to relieve extra housing supply through mid-2010.

•·         A rise in existing home sales.  The NAR is expecting existing home sales to rise as high as 5.69 million, even with continuing unemployment issues.  That's a 13.6 percent increase.

 

In fact, the U.S. forecasts for national and Sayreville & Piscataway New Jersey real estate are overall positive for 2010.

 

Housing Predictor, one of the first places to predict the wave of foreclosures, also forecasts positive numbers for 2010.  They anticipate rising home sales, market improvement and even value appreciation for some places. Again, the magic period for the start of stabilization is the middle of the year.

 

Although no one knows for certain what will happen in the future - especially for such struggling sectors as national and Sayreville & Piscataway New Jersey real estate - we can all gain a little hope from the 2010 forecasts. There is one thing that is fairly well agreed upon according to these predictions:  there will be a real estate recovery in 2010.

Nice post.  I think that we're going to see lower REO inventory though.  Most of it this year is going to be in the upper-end, and there just aren't that many homes in that price range.  It would be nice to see the interest rates stay for a while so we can finish moving the abundance of inventory we currently have.

Freddie,

I think those areas will continue to  be hit with foreclosures. We saw many businesses lay off people in the area of Rt 1, Rt 18, etc.  Or, they simply took pay cuts. Cash reserves for those people will eventually run out.

Geoff, I think the interest rates for a 30yr fixed mortgage will remain below 6% all year.
