Metro Detroit Michigan October 2008 Market update.
21 November 08 12:42 AM | Bob Mitchell | 0 Comments   

October sales continued on the same track as prior months with sales units continuing to rise (and reduced home prices). The sales pace has slowed a bit as have showings in the upper end areas, but the rest of the markets continue to pick up the slack keeping things relatively consistent with the prior months.

So what does all this mean? The trends were heading in the right direction, sales units up and listing inventory is down. With additional impending layoffs, the bottom is likely to be reset to a new level for 2009 and extend our overall recovery time. The silver lining in this is that the new bottom may not be as big a change as it might seem.  Here are a few of the key areas of influence in the upcoming year.

Buyers: Additional auto layoffs should not have a major effect on the supply of Buyers so activity should remain at 2008 levels. Few if anyone related to auto has been in the market as a Buyer for the past two years so most of the auto effect as it relates to Buyers has already occurred.

Listing Inventories: Inventories will most likely continue to fall for the first half of 2009 and then remain the same for the balance of the year. Banks are working towards policies to work with homeowners and avoid foreclosures which will reduce or at least spread out the foreclosure rate for late 2009 and 2010. However, additional home inventories from auto related changes will offset some of that, keeping inventories about the same.

Home Values: Home values will continue to decline for 2009. The exact amount is difficult to peg, but it should continue in the 1% per month or more rate. Vacant homes still comprise about 40-60% of the listing inventory. Significant appreciation will not return until those rates fall to 20% or lower.

Economic Stimulus Programs: The current and future stimulus programs will focus on housing; either in making home buying easier or helping lenders repackage mortgages to avoid additional foreclosures. Either way the net effect for 2009 will be positive in reducing or spreading out the foreclosure rate and drawing more buyers into the market. Its full effect will probably not be felt until the second half of 2009.

Auto Bailout: It appears some plan will be implemented, giving Detroit a breather and helping to spread the inevitable continued downsizing over a longer period of time. The positive effect we are looking for is to spread out the number of auto related homes that will go on the market over 3-5 years vs. the 1-2 years it was headed for, thereby helping to maintain values.

Housing Affordability: Our strongest asset, with the economic stimulus making it even stronger. For 2009, low rates and falling prices will continue to create bargains many will not be able to refuse. We may see the strongest affordability index in the past 30 years in 2009!

For Sellers aggressive pricing ahead of the falling market is the key to a successful strategy. For Buyers, a home purchase is a very personal and unique event, trying to time it to the perfect balance of interest rates and pricing is nearly impossible. Start your home search process now and be ready to act quickly, because of aggressive pricing, the best homes are still selling in 30 days.
