Where Americans Are Moving

Interesting graphic by the good folks at Keeping Current Matters. Massachusetts still has “high outbound”! Hard to believe…but it could be because it is going to be -2 degrees this weekend? 🙁

by 

Where Are Americans Moving? [INFOGRAPHIC] | Keeping Current Matters

Some Highlights:

  • For the 4th year in a row the Northeast saw a concentration of High Outbound activity.
  • Oregon held on to the top stop of High Inbound states for the 3rd year in a row.
  • Much of this Outbound activity can be attributed to Boomers relocating to warmer climates after retiring.

However, while supply is moving slowly, it is still faster than last year, with days on the market is down 7% y/y.

On a similar note, the report found that the median list price in December is also down slightly from November. While this is consistent with the season, the decline is not as dramatic with prices stronger than usual in December.

Five Year Projection For Home Price Appreciation

 

I am always impressed with the KCM Crew.  (Keeping Current Matters) They are excellent at distilling big data points into understandable and accessible information.

 

Home Prices: Where Are They Headed Over The Next 5 Years?

by 

Home Prices: Where Are They Headed Over The Next 5 Years? | Keeping Current Matters

Today, many real estate conversations center on housing prices and where they may be headed. That is why we like the Home Price Expectation Survey.

Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a nationwide panel of over one hundred economists, real estate experts and investment & market strategists about where they believe prices are headed over the next five years. They then average the projections of all 100+ experts into a single number.

The results of their latest survey:

Home values will appreciate by 3.9% by the end of 2015, 3.4% in 2016 and 3.1% in each of the following four years (as shown below). That means the average annual appreciation will be 3.2% over the next 5 years.

Projected Mean Appreciation | Keeping Current Matters

The prediction for cumulative appreciation rose from 18.1% to 21.6% by 2020. Even the experts making up the most bearish quartile of the survey still are projecting a cumulative appreciation of 13.8%.

Cumulative House Appreciation | Keeping Current Matters

Bottom Line

Individual opinions make headlines. We believe the survey is a fairer depiction of future values.

The Goode And Farmer Report – January 2016

The Goode And Farmer Report – January 2016

 

Happy New Year to everyone that we didn’t have the pleasure of seeing over the New Year Holiday. The “First Light” weekend was very busy with a Fourth of July-like fireworks display and tons of other New Years events. It was a huge success.

What a year 2015 was! The economy was in relatively fine shape, but the stock market was flat. Politics were crazy but consumer confidence was high.  Nationally many real estate markets did well while others languished at recession lows. Thankfully our Outer Cape real estate market has been consistently strong year to year with Provincetown leading the way once again!

We are excited to provide the Goode and Farmer Report for Q4 of 2015. Hopefully it will be an interesting read for you. Please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.
