10 housing questions Orange County must answer

The kind folks at the Orange County chapter of the Building Industry Association were nice enough to invite me to join a recent panel on local housing market conditions . I decided an early- morning seminar required a quick start, so I offered the audience of industry insiders and local elected officials a “pop quiz” on some housing supply and affordability trends. The theme to my questions was that decades of rising housing costs aren ’t as out of line with monetary sanity as one might think. That reality check doesn ’t make it any financially less challenging to live here, but I think it does give policymakers some leeway when seeking cures to local housing hurdles . So here are my 10 questions that say a lot of about limited affordable housing options . #1: Relative value? Q: In past 30 years, Orange County home prices have increased five-fold while inflation has just doubled. Not a shabby return for owners. But, how did the Dow Jones industrial average do, better or worse? A...

Would-be purchasers may have to walk away from apartments

Image
SUSAN EDMUNDS Last updated 05:00, August 25 2017 123RF Buyers may find credit conditions are quite different to what they were when they first signed a contract to buy an apartment. Lending restrictions could make it tougher for developers to sell newly-built apartments. Sources say bankers are increasingly worried about "settlement risk" to developers – the risk that people who have bought properties off-plans, with the intention of settling when the development is complete, will now not be able to do so. Data from Colliers shows that a record number of apartments are due to be completed over the coming years. There are 2770 set to come on to the market in Auckland alone this year, the highest number since 2005. MARTIN DE RUYTER/STUFF Apartment buildings are being built around the country but the exuberance of a year ago has left the market, in many places. Another 3840 should be finished next year.

Are apartment prices in Melbourne finally going to fall?

Image
Friday 18 August 2017 Article by Ben Tosi Professional opinions are divided over the future of Melbourne™s highly sought-after apartment market after a number of economists offered up their growth predictions for the next 12 months. The median apartment price in Melbourne grew by over $20,000 in the year leading up to June 2017, but there is very little consensus over apartment prices for the next 12 months. Real estate publisher , Domain, asked five economists how they thought Melbourne™s property market would react to record growth over the past year, with three economists expecting prices to fall by as much as 5% but two agreeing that prices will continue to grow at a rate of 5-10%. AMP Capital chief economist Shane Oliver told Domain that APRA™s tightening regulations on interest-only loans would result in a drop in investment activity bringing apartment prices down. Ĺ“This, along with a surge in the supply of units, will likely result in falls in unit prices and a slo...

Some 2, 700 apartment units are in various stages of construction among those cities. Some are recently completed and some are being built in phases.  That is a stark contrast to the near zero multi- family construction in 2010 in metro Boise. Multi- family housing has evolved in the 21 st century, largely moving away from large buildings with hundreds of units. Locally, many developers have settled for the common denominator of sets of fourplexes with the occasional six-, eight- ...
