Supply and Demand Problem in Phoenix Future?

Supply-and-Demand

 

Supply and Demand problem in Phoenix future?  What if?  The questions are flying right now.  Could there be a supply and demand problem in Phoenix future?  Maybe....maybe not.  There are a lot of what if's involved.  Right now a buyer can get a loan for record low rates.  That same buyer can purchase a home for 3% down with a conventional loan.  This COULD get more buyers off the fence.  With the current supply of homes we COULD get into a bidding war situation again.  According to Michael Orr-- Phoenix is not ready for a big increase in demand.  That would be a supply problem.

Valley real estate experts believe the housing market in Phoenix could have a supply and demand issue in the near future.

With down payments and interest rates dropping on certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conventional loans, the housing market is set to see more homebuyers in the near future.  more

It seems our market has a knee jerk reaction .. which is a few years too late.. I see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of apartment complex's popping up all over the valley.  "They" say to fill the need for the population of homeowners that lost their home to short sale and foreclosure...well, a bit late.. at the end of 2015 we will be at a point in time where the glut of foreclosures will be 7 years ago.  Guess what, all of those homeowners waiting to qualify for "regular" conventional financing will qualify, based on the waiting period.  Those buyers will want to look at the conventional 3% down program, because they are considered 1st time homebuyers if they have not owned a home in the past 3 years.

So true.  I was speaking with a client that noted all the new apartments......it is a bit late.  That should drop rents soon....don' ya think?
