Real Estate in 2011?

By
Real Estate Agent with REALTY NAVIGATOR 586207

Next year, housing prices will likely drop 5-10% nationally-finally hitting bottom, according to Altos research, a real estate data company.

That doesn't mean that we're instantly going to bounce out of that trough. Expect local price instability. Early 2011 will bring the usual seasonal bounce in prices, similar to this year's period of price stabilization that occurred before the expiration of the home buyer tax credit.

Altos' latest housing market update projected that an uptick in seasonal demand would start to be visible in the third week of January. But two supply trends will ultimately drive prices lower next year; rising inventory and lower quality of that inventory, mainly because of foreclosures and short sales. Foreclosures are released in bundles, otherwise, the market would be inundated with these homes We are not going to see improvement until 2012. It will come quicker than you think.
