Brace yourself: Real estate prices going back up

Brace yourself: Real estate prices going back up

 House prices, after falling for more than five years, are rising again. All the major sales-price indexes show that there have been modest national increases in recent months, even after adjusting for seasonal patterns.
When foreclosures and distressed sales are excluded from the data, prices are up even more. And we should expect further gains: The asking-price index, a leading indicator of sales prices, published by Trulia Inc. (where I work), climbed at an annualized rate of 3.3 percent in the second quarter of this year, adjusted for mix and seasonality, and rose in 84 of the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas.
Of course, if the U.S. economy falters, due to a deepening of the economic crisis in Europe or a wave of foreclosures, prices may reverse. For now, though, the increases are widespread. For the real-estate market and housing policy, this is cause for relief, but also for some concern.

  2. I agree, the Real Estate market "was" a "fine" place to be at one time as people do need a place do reside, and purchases will be both bought and sold.

    That is "Fine" until the Government hand step in and turned it into fraud.

    How can one put a value on something that has been artificially priced?

  3. As for the industry for property, it helped from a powerful need over previous times year which led to a high and constant cost of leases to a certain level in the investment Beirut.
