Book excerpt: Housing policy not only aff ects all Americans' quality of life, but has a direct impact on their fi nancial well being. About 70 percent of American households own their own homes, and for most, their homes represent the majority of their net worth. Renters are aff ected by housing policy. Even the small minority of Americans who are homeless are aff ected by housing policies specifi cally targeted to low-income individuals.The government's increasing involvement in housing markets, fed by popular demand that government "do something" to address real problems of mortgage defaults and loans, provides good reason to take a new look at the public sector in housing markets. Crises in prime mortgage lending may lower the cost of housing, but the poor and homeless cannot benefi t because of increases in unemployment. Even the private market is heavily regulated. Government policies dictate whether people can build new housing on their land, what type of housing they can build, the terms allowed in rental contracts, and much more.This volume considers the eff ects of government housing policies and what can be done to make them work better. It shows that many problems are the result of government rules and regulations. Even in a time of foreclosures, the market can still do a crucial a job of allocating resources, just as it does in other markets. Consequently, the appropriate policy response may well be to signifi cantly reduce, not increase, government presence in housing markets. Housing America is a courageous and comprehensive eff ort to examine housing policies in the United States and to show how such policies aff ect the housing market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home listing prices continue to be high. Mortgage interest rates are high; the last time they were this high was in the early 2000s. But the cost of borrowing is likely to go up over the next year, which will make the decision much harder for people who may need to buy in that time. The majority of us will continue investing in the markets and accumulating money for a down payment until the housing market stabilizes. Q.ai eliminates uncertainty from investment. Here’s How Strange the Housing Market Is Getting Right Now. In other words, rising mortgage rates are bad news for the housing market, and the US just saw one of the sharpest hikes ever. Home buyers are now dealing with severe price shock as affordability indicators are deteriorating at their highest rate ever. In fact, a number of market milestones have been reached recently, with mortgage spreads and benchmark interest rates reaching levels that haven’t been seen in decades while the number of new sales is declining at a rate that is faster than even during the period following the global

Book excerpt: The housing market, like any other investment, has always had its ups and downs. But ever since it started its upswing at the beginning of this decade, the ride has become more thrilling—and more dangerous.

Home buyers and sellers are beginning to recognize that however the market moves where they live, they must be prepared to make smart housing decisions. Written by veteran real estate reporter June Fletcher, House Poor teaches you everything you need to know to weather the ups and downs of the housing market, including: How to tell whether your hometown is likely to boom or bust When to take equity out of your house How to buy as a first-time home owner or as an investor during turbulent times How to protect your home investment When and how to sell your home Today's volatile housing market could make you house poor. This book will keep you house proud.

Download or read book Price Expectations and the U.S. Housing Boom written by Pascal Towbin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1996 and 2006 the U.S. has experienced an unprecedented boom in house prices. As it has proven to be difficult to explain the large price increase by observable fundamentals, many observers have emphasized the role of speculation, i.e. expectations about future price developments. The argument is, however, often indirect: speculation is treated as a deviation from a benchmark. The present paper aims to identify house price expectation shocks directly. To that purpose, we estimate a VAR model for the U.S. and use sign restrictions to identify house price expectation, housing supply, housing demand, and mortgage rate shocks. House price expectation shocks are the most important driver of the boom and account for about 30 percent of the real house price increase. We also construct a model-based measure of exogenous changes in price expectations and show that this measure leads a survey-based measure of changes in house price expectations. Our main identification scheme leaves open whether expectation shifts are realistic or unrealistic. In extensions, we provide evidence that price expectation shifts during the boom were primarily unrealistic and were only marginally affected by realistic expectations about future fundamentals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stirrings of reform or more of the same? U.S. Housing Policy, Politics, and Economics shares a stark and urgent message. With a new president in the White House and the economy emerging from its peak pandemic lows, the time is right for transformative federal housing legislation—but only if Congress can transcend partisan divides. Drawing on nearly a century of legislative and policy data, this briefing for scholars and professionals quantifies the effects of Democratic or Republican control of the executive and legislative branches on housing prices and policies nationwide. It exposes the lasting consequences of Congress’ more than a decade of failure to pass meaningful housing laws and makes clear just how narrow the current window for action is. Equal parts analysis and call to arms, U.S. Housing Policy, Politics, and Economics is essential reading for everyone who cares about affordable, accessible housing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of the housing bubble that caused the Great Recession—and earned Wall Street fantastic profits. The American housing bubble of the 2000s caused the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression. In this definitive account, Adam Levitin and Susan Wachter pinpoint its source: the shift in mortgage financing from securitization by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to “private-label securitization” by Wall Street banks. This change set off a race to the bottom in mortgage underwriting standards, as banks competed in laxity to gain market share. The Great American Housing Bubble tells the story of the transformation of mortgage lending from a dysfunctional, local affair, featuring short-term, interest-only “bullet” loans, to a robust, national market based around the thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage, a uniquely American innovation that served as the foundation for the middle class. Levitin and Wachter show how Fannie and Freddie’s market power kept risk in check until 2003, when mortgage financing shifted sharply to private-label securitization, as lenders looked for a way to sustain lending volume following an unprecedented refinancing wave. Private-label securitization brought a return of bullet loans, which had lower initial payments—enabling borrowers to borrow more—but much greater back-loaded risks. These loans produced a vast oversupply of underpriced mortgage finance that drove up home prices unsustainably. When the bubble burst, it set off a destructive downward spiral of home prices and foreclosures. Levitin and Wachter propose a rebuild of the housing finance system that ensures the widespread availability of the thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage, while preventing underwriting competition and shifting risk away from the public to private investors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeownership - a core American Dream - remains elusive to millions of families priced out of the unstable housing market. This book explores the delicate balance between regulations designed to promote the production of sound, affordable housing in safe community environments and the red tape in which housing developers become entangled.Based on case studies of communities in New Jersey and North Carolina, and building on extensive research on the housing development regulatory process, the authors examine the incidence of regulation and quantify the actual itemized costs of excessive regulation. How are the costs of excessive regulation distributed between developers and home buyers? How can state and local jurisdictions reform deeply entrenched regulatory systems to ease the delivery of affordable housing from developer to purchaser?Red Tape and Housing Costs examines the incidence of regulation. The distribution of these costs is critical to housing affordability. At the same time, developers shift to building housing for consumers to whom they can pass on the increasing costs of regulation. Michael I. Luger and Kenneth Temkin provide policymakers and housing advocates with hard facts and reasoned explanations about the link between excessive regulations and spiraling housing costs. The authors argue that their analysis will allow policymakers to launch efforts to create responsible housing development regulatory systems.

Book excerpt: "Rebuilding a Dream" takes a refreshingly positive view of a difficult and seemingly intractable problem that affects millions of Americans: The increasing scarcity of housing we can afford. This hard-hitting book explains why media reports that America's housing crisis has ended are wildly misleading. Many people - especially lower-income groups but also the middle class - face an ever-increasing gap between what they can afford to pay for a home or apartment and what it costs to obtain one. This books explains why this gap will get steadily worse unless our elected officials stop working against housing affordability and start supporting it. It explains how the foreclosure crisis continues to have a devastating impact on minority communities, spawning a new wave of urban (and increasingly suburban) decay. It shows how the housing problems of lower income groups tie directly to the growth of income inequality and the resurgence of racial and economic segregation, hurting our economic and social stability. But "Rebuilding a Dream" also delivers the good news that all these problems can be solved. It explains how the dream of homeownership and the upward mobility it brings can be restored - and how we can resume progress toward Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of equal opportunity in housing. The book reports on the progress that has been made since the tumultuous days 50 years ago, when dozens of cities exploded in violent riots and Congress enacted a wide array of government housing and community development programs. This book shows that many of the programs enacted back then and in subsequent years have succeeded in transforming neighborhoods and improving millions of lives. Great innovations in community development are underway, including plans to better link housing and transportation to provide for greater environmental as well as economic sustainability. The book describes how veterans, homeless families and lonely elders have had their lives transformed, and even saved, by government housing programs (contrary to a concerted right-wing campaign to paint all such programs as failures.) But, while these programs are more important than ever, they are also under a full-scale political attack. Advocates of budget austerity (and extremists with an "us vs. them" agenda) have forced deep cuts in spending for housing and urban programs, including elimination of housing construction for poor elders, among other things. With more cuts threatened under the new Republican-controlled Congress, the book warns, much of the progress of the last 50 years is being lost each year. "Rebuilding a Dream" calls for a new political consensus to reinvest in those programs and reverse the recent budget cuts and program eliminations. It calls for a new resolve to address the shameful reality that there are over 1.6 million children who are homeless in America, and many more whose families are barely able to pay their rent. Finally, the book explains how regular citizens can get involved and join the effort to get housing markets back in the business of provide affordable options and making sure governments have good, proactive housing policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember when mania led to a massive housing bubble? When Americans found themselves saddled with too many houses and were hit with the reality that our economy had been built on unsustainable borrowing? Everyone knows about that, right? What if that was wrong? What if, when we get down to brass tacks, Americans have been struggling to build enough new housing—especially in places where housing is in high demand—and this was true, even in 2005? Viewing the economic calamities of the twenty-first century with this central insight turns the conventional wisdom about our economic challenges upside down. The need for more homes has been the core cause of American economic instability and stagnation. Building from the Ground Up will guide you to a sweeping new perspective about the Great Recession and the financial crisis, which points to a brighter path for America’s economic potential.
