How far can home prices go?

From CNBC:

US house prices are going to rise at twice the speed of inflation and pay: Reuters poll

An acute shortage of affordable homes in the United States will continue over the coming year, according to a majority of property market analysts polled by Reuters, driving prices up faster than inflation and wage growth.

After losing over a third of their value a decade ago, which led to the financial crisis and a deep recession, U.S. house prices have regained those losses — led by a robust labor market that has fueled a pickup in economic activity and housing demand.

But supply has not been able to keep up with rising demand, making homeownership less affordable.

Annual average earnings growth has remained below 3 percent even as house price rises have averaged more than 5 percent over the last few years.

The latest poll of nearly 45 analysts taken May 16-June 5 showed the S&P/Case Shiller composite index of home prices in 20 cities is expected to gain a further 5.7 percent this year.

That compared to predictions for average earnings growth of 2.8 percent and inflation of 2.5 percent 2018, according to a separate Reuters poll of economists.

U.S. house prices are then forecast to rise 4.3 percent next year and 3.6 percent in 2020.

“We are not seeing a temporary phenomenon. House prices have been outrunning family incomes for several years in the U.S. and while demand has cooled off a bit, the supply side is still very tight,” said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Financial Group.

“I think house prices will continue to outrun family incomes for at least another year and it will take some time for demand to slow and to some extent supply to increase.”

    What’s the over/under on Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize if they sign a peace agreement and end the Korean War?

    Prizes are awarded for symbolism and rhetoric, not achievement.

    Deniro trying to lead the F Trump chant last night while our president is over in Singapore trying to negotiate an end to a nuclear-armed North Korea and in reality end the Korean War.

    The left is only going to get more unhinged as we head into the midterms.

    Trump will be lucky to not crash the economy.

    Chi,

    Sorry, just catching up on weekend posts. Would love to have a beer sometime. Not much in city these days but hopefully land some interviews soon. I will send Grim my contact info.

  8. Fast Eddie says:

    Zardov,

    Yet another handle to match your multiple personalities? Is the world leaving you behind and the pain is too much to bear?

  9. Fast Eddie says:

    One of the greatest achievements of the Trump administration will be illustrating the weakness and ineffectiveness of the prior administration.

  10. Bagholder says:

    Moon Jae-in has done all the work, but I can see where Trump gets it for his symbolism and rhetoric.

  11. Juice Box says:

    Moon Jae-in’s  is alao the one who said Trump deserves the peace prize for his efforts.

  12. Ottoman says:

    Projection much? You’ve posted under at least 2.

    Zardov,

    Yet another handle to match your multiple personalities? Is the world leaving you behind and the pain is too much to bear?

  13. Ottoman says:

    Because the right wing militias running around the woods claiming Obama was coming for their guns, the fake azz Tea Party morons, the jeebus freaks blowing up aborti0n doctors are the height of sanity.

    “The left is only going to get more unhinged as we head into the midterms.”

  14. Bagholder says:

    ‘Moon Jae-in’s is alao the one who said Trump deserves the peace prize for his efforts.’

    Of course he did.

    It’s amazing what he’s been able to do with the two people he’s working with.

  15. Ottoman says:

    Oh, and those tiki torch white supremacists are just well adjusted good ole boys.

  16. Fast Eddie says:

    How humiliating it must be to be a man who looks to government for his purpose in life. It’s shameful enough believing in it and even more so in posting it on a public forum. Defending your weakness is far worse than admitting it.

  17. Bagholder says:

    Plenty of good people, those marchers chanting ‘jews will not replace us’ and ‘blood and soil’…

    Otto is living in 1935 Selma.

  19. Ottoman says:

    Not likely. Half a million people were displaced or killed or drowned in the Mediterranean after Obama and Clinton’s destruction of Libya for no good reason and all you morons could come up with was a 6 year investigation of Benghazi which lead to zero indictments or convictions.

    BTW, since your head’s been stuck up your azz since at least 1985, you might not have heard this—- in ONE YEAR the Mueller investigation of Trump and Russia has already brought 23 indictments against 19 people and FIVE GUILTY PLEAS. He’ll be lucky not to die in prison.

  31. Libturd questioning the gender of Hillary's Cankle fluid. says:

    As long as your checking account is paying .001% interest, I would always take the 0% interest option. Though, the only negative is that you will have to hold collision and comprehensive for the entirety of the loan. So be careful is they will only give the 0% on loans 5 years or longer. For many cars, especially if you drive 15K per year, you will want to be dropping comp and collision after the 4th year. Do the math!

  32. Fast Eddie says:

    Thanks Lib!

  33. Yome says:

    He achieved that already

    “One of the greatest achievements of the Trump administration will be illustrating the weakness and ineffectiveness of the prior administration.”

    Moon Jae In acted in the best interest of SK. South Koreans are calling this meeting a miracle. Trump does make miracles

  35. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    Here in the Boston area most of the low priced dealers offer sever thousand dollars off or 0%, not both. Taking the cash discount is usually the better deal. I’ve bought all of my cars cash this century.

    Question: If buying a new car, would you pay outright or finance at 0%?

  36. Libturd questioning the gender of Hillary's Cankle fluid. says:

    Cash off vs. 0% financing is a no-brainer if you got the dough.

  37. Fast Eddie says:

    I did get a few thousand off the MSRP plus a trade in. I nixed the first dealer and want to a 2nd. I don’t know if I was going to get much more out of it.

  38. Libturd questioning the gender of Hillary's Cankle fluid. says:

    Which reminds me. I am selling my brother’s garage-kept Dark Blue 2016 Mazda 6 GT, truly perfect condition, all records, 25K mileage for about 20K if anyone is interested. He never drives and I showed him that he can Uber for $20 a day, 7 days/week and still save over the cost of that car. Another no-brainer.

  39. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    Several years ago I went to great pains to calculate the all-in cost of owning a car, driving a small amount of miles per year, like 10,000. I came up with a number like $1,100 per month.

  40. Fast Eddie says:

    Btw, Trump p1mp-slapped the G7! I love that picture of Trump sitting with arms folded as the”children” crowd around him. Especially Merkel! There’s Newsweek’s new cover. Hey Europe, you want protection? Trump is saying, “F.uck you, pay me!” Omg,

  41. Bagholder says:

    ‘South Koreans are calling this meeting a miracle’

    This meeting has been a standing offer for many presidents, the idea of which was ridiculed. It’s ok now, though. Can’t expect consistency.

    ‘willingness to meet with North Korea is one of the most disturbing displays of Obama’s lack of foreign policy experience’

  42. leftwing says:

    “The left is only going to get more unhinged as we head into the midterms.”

    6-8 months ago I was sure of the red wave. Pivoted to uncertain in the interim with the special elections, the shortcomings of certain specific red candidates notwithstanding.

    Back to net red pickup in both houses, possibly strong, so long as the economy and market can hold gains for five more months.

    No matter how well DeNiro played to the local crowd, that doesn’t play in Peoria. Especially the standing ovation.

    If I were Trump or a local candidate in flyover country I would play an endless loop of DeNiro comments with a lingering focus on a bunch NYC performers and elites in full formal wear standing and raucously applauding.

    Think they would have learned from Hillary taking the two nights off prior to the November election to party with Springsteen and GaGa.

    Amazing for entertainers how tone deaf they can be……

  43. leftwing says:

    Re: new car purchase. As previously posted unlikely you will get your best price and 0%.

    I’ve always paid cash as an adult. Allowed me to get the best price, much easier to negotiate. Removes the whole BS sales pitch of ‘what do you want to pay monthly’ off the table from the beginning. Don’t have to wade through all that before getting to price negotiation.

    Once we agree price I’ll usually then tell the sales guy I want a small market rate loan. Used to do $2-3k, last car (2017) the bank required minimum loan of $7k. I’d make four to six payments then pay the whole thing off. The small interest charge was worth the bump in credit rating. 830 for a while and counting…..

  46. leftwing says:

    “…in ONE YEAR the Mueller investigation of Trump and Russia has already brought 23 indictments against 19 people and FIVE GUILTY PLEAS….”

    Not one of which was associated with Mueller’s mandate and at least one where the underlying ‘crime’ by the individual occurred a decade prior to Trump even becoming a candidate lol.

    “Because the right wing militias running around the woods claiming Obama was coming for their guns, the fake azz Tea Party morons, the jeebus freaks blowing up aborti0n doctors are the height of sanity.”

    You mean any more sane than legislating that my eight year old son must share a rest room with an adult so markedly fcuked up and unstable that he can’t figure out his own gender?

    Keep running with these rope lengths. Hard. In November you’ll realize they were wrapped around your neck.

  47. D-FENS says:

    It’s amazing to me that people actually think the way Ottoman does.

  48. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    LOL. I thought I was the only one who did that. I’ve had 3 auto loans in my entire life, all of them were for 1 year only. Interestingly my wife had only one car loan before I met her, also a 1 year loan. You have to be careful on the term, depending which state you live in. In some usurious states your loan payoff is the sum of ALL the payments, so you’re stuck the moment you sign.

    Once we agree price I’ll usually then tell the sales guy I want a small market rate loan. Used to do $2-3k, last car (2017) the bank required minimum loan of $7k.

    I might consider the Black Panthers a left wing militia…one that existed long before the tea partiers. Antifa are another group.

    Then there’s these guys

    Do you like it when someone singles out extremists on the left and associates you with them Ottoman?

  51. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    I think the last car loan I took was when I bought a brand new black ’99 Miata off the showroom floor on cold, rainy weeknight in October 1999. My sale was the only game in town that night. I got the $25K list down to just under $20K (I just kept telling the salesperson, “It’s a psychological thing, I just can’t spend over $20K on something so impractical. “ When I got my price I paid $15K cash and got a 1 year $5K loan.

  52. leftwing says:

    The shrillness of the left will be the undoing of their candidates.

    Their off the chart claims keep raising the bar.

    All the craziness around Mueller? They’ve raised the bar so high that Trump will have to be perp walked out of the WH for Joe Citizen to believe any underlying crime.

    North Korea? Remember the howling about how he is going to start a nuclear war? Again, short of open hostilities there is a win in the red column because has screamed bogeyman.

    If anything tangible comes from this summit what an opportunity….I see the commercial now….start with “where were you the night of June 10?”. Show Trump and KJU deplaning. Cut to DeNiro F bombs. Back to Trump and KJU negotiating. Cut to the dudes in tuxes fist pumping DeNiro. Back to Moon Jae-In congratulating both and saying what an accomplishment. Cut to the 360 degree pan of Radio City formal dressed crowd closing with DeNiro F bombs again. Voice over with “which side do you support”.

    Worth a 2-3 percentage point indie swing right there.

  53. D-FENS says:

    Another thing, if you want a car to be fast, you break it in fast. No burnouts while the clutch is new, but I’ve had several new cars where I started doing redline shifts with less than 25 miles on the clock. None of those engines ever gave me a problem, and in the case of that Miata, I had it dynoed, bone stock, when it had about 2,000 miles on it at a Miata club event. My car had more hp and torque than any other stock Miata dynoed that day.

  59. leftwing says:

    Ex, and the great thing on those optional loans are with a solid credit score and low LTV the interest rate is very low. I’m guessing that’s why the bank went to higher minimum loan amount….on a $2k loan origination with 5% interest out for four months they probably actually lost money making the loan.

    “Nothing nauseates me more than preaching to the converted. The self-congratulatory tone of the privileged left — just repeating and repeating and repeating the outrages of the opposition — this does not win hearts and minds. It doesn’t change anyone’s opinions. It only solidifies them, and makes things worse for all of us. We should be breaking bread with each other, and finding common ground whenever possible. I fear that is not at all what we’ve done.”

    Here’s something, if you look closely, you’ll find is true with most great actors – They are vacuous morons. They have no personality, and very little intellect to go with it. They are merely blank slates into which a good director can insert any character at any time. These actors are great at playing roles because they don’t have any conflict with their genuine character, because they have none. You’ll also notice that DeNiro, Streep, Willem DaFoe, etc. don’t show up on talk shows very much. That’s because they inevitably are shown up to be witless and slow without a script. Their publicists go to great lengths to prevent them from ever being asked a question that requires on-the-spot thought.

  65. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    Just imagine Pumps on a talk show, for example.

  66. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    We bought one car with such a low loan amount that the dealership didn’t even write the loan. They made it look like they did, but what they actually did was open up a credit union account in my wife’s name and took the loan from the credit union as her. Even after the loan was paid off she still had a checking account there that she never opened with $5 in it.

    Ex, and the great thing on those optional loans are with a solid credit score and low LTV the interest rate is very low. I’m guessing that’s why the bank went to higher minimum loan amount….on a $2k loan origination with 5% interest out for four months they probably actually lost money making the loan.

    Joyce,

    There is a ton of $10 a day parking over there. I can’t imagine they run out, with the expansion to the Red Bull Arena Parking lot.

    Though, what has always amazed me about the PATH system is that the tubes built in 1907 require minimal maintenance and the system as a whole is incredibly reliable. Yet, the Amtrak/NJTransit tunnels built just two years later are complete pieces of sh1t. The original plan was for three tunnels which would have really provided huge flexibility, but alas, they reduced the project to two of which one will have to be closed for repairs soon reducing capacity by 60%! Hope everyone likes the ferries.

  68. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    Lib – I like this paragraph even better:

    “I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America. There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good,” the chef said.

    “REPORTER: The neo-Nazis started this thing. They showed up in Charlottesville.

    TRUMP: Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.”

  70. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    In 2009 we drove down for the Yankees victory parade, staying the night before at my MIL’s. We drove to Harrison and took the Path as I had a zillion times before. I hadn’t been there in a while, nothing was built yet, but all of Hartz Mountain and all the other buildings had been leveled. I also had not been to lower Manhattan since before 9/11. It felt so unbelievably awful to get off at the WTC stop and instead of seeing an underground mall realizing we were now at the bottom of a gigantic open-air pit. Cantor Fitzgerald used to be one of our clients and I used to go there all the time in the early and mid 90’s.

    My kids favorite part of the parade was eating at Tops Diner back in Harrison afterward.

  71. Zardov says:

    11:37 me? Yeah. For certain.

  72. The Original NJ ExPat says:

    There were videos from Charlottesville being pulled down from youtube by Google as fast as they could, showing armies of guys in black, wielding clubs and weapons following the protestors and initiating violence. I linked to one of those videos here, being hosted somewhere other than youtube. They were dressed like Antifa, but many of them weren’t even wearing masks.

    TRUMP disgraced the Presidency and the United States at the G-7 summit.

    On getting a good new car price…buy at month AND quarter end. Also:

    Know exactly what you want. Down to the last option. Build it out on line, the websites will MSRP price it. Don’t bite at the dealer on other offered options. They will try, muddies the waters, your analysis and therefor your negotiating ability.

    The dealer needs to know you are a serious buyer, not just shopping. Visit two weeks before month and quarter end to intro yourself and what you want. I actually tell the sales guy I will be far from his most profitable sale but I will be his easiest. Promise him it will take 15 minutes of his time total. Hand him the build sheet from the website. They need to know you are definitively buying.

    Winnow it down to two dealers. Play both sales guys the same card. Tell them you are talking to another dealer, never tell them who. They will ask repeatedly. Online websites usually give dealer inventory. Pick dealers with a lot…can indicate bad sales month (looking to deal) or at the very least they push a lot of volume (looking to deal). the small local guy in your backyard is probably the worst. You’ll know when you first walk in how hungry they are. If they aren’t, chat and move to the next.

    Respond to the salesman’s calls, be positive, build the relationship. Treat them with respect, be courteous. Always let them know you are definitely buying and will make a decision in days.

    A few days before month and quarter end hit both hard. Ridiculous rock bottom price. Websites can give you helpful math on how to build a purchase price bottom up with a small margin for dealer.

    Use discounts. I wait for what has become a regular $500 off from the manufacturer. That is one of those negotiate your best deal then take $500 off offers. Those are the best, it doesn’t hit the dealer’s P/L so they don’t care. Also, the right sales guy will try to help to make your offer work. As he’s working your price he’ll try to use other corporate discounts. Firefighter? Competing lease holder? I’ve had both asked. My response is always ‘do you need documentation’. Sales guy looks funny, asks why, I explain my BIL is a Captain the FDNY and I’m really close to him or I had a lease but got rid of it six months ago. They grimace, but they always check the box.

    Work the trade-in value. The first value offered or blue book is never the best they can do. Can pick up a couple extra thousand off the new price there.

    Lastly, try to get the right sales person. May be hard. Sometimes it is handed on a silver platter though. My last purchase I walked into the dealer and they had a board with blue/red car graphics behind the desk showing where every sales guy was relative to quota. Blue cars equaled sold, red cars showed remaining quota. LOL. Told me in two seconds the dealership hadn’t yet met month/quarter quotas and which sales guy to pick. Not the rock star over quota, he won’t care enough to work your deal he’s done. Not the guy with three sales, the dealership won’t care enough about him to cut you a deal, he’s going to be let go. Take the guy right in the middle, a few cars short of quota. He and the dealership will both work hard for that sale right before month/quarter end.

    Long post I know but at risk of sounding like Stu by doing the above I pay so little OOP for new it’s almost embarrassing. Since 2012 I’m on my third new car, regularly trading them in at about 40-60k of miles for a replacement. Despite it being a rapidly depreciating asset using the above my monthly cost of ownership makes it well worthwhile.

    My wife and I only drive about 8,000 miles per year combined, and that’s been the same since about 2002 when we first moved to the actual city of Boston. I sometimes go months without getting on a highway, and when I do it’s usually for a travel soccer game or some other weekend activity. When headhunters call me up they get really confused when I just reject the majority of the jobs they have out of hand based on location. I tell them it’s real easy to figure out what I might be interested in. It has to either be in the city of Boston or within 8 miles of my front door.

  81. D-FENS says:

    This is just it…I read that quote as confirming my point…Bagholder likely reads it as confirming his point. There were non-racists who were not neo nazi’s there who just wanted to keep an old statue.

    Bagholder:
    -People who are horrible racists (neo-nazi’s/kkk) were present
    -people who like old statues were present (not neo-nazi’s)
    -People who don’t like old statues were present (not antifa)
    -People who are violent leftists were present (antifa)

    My last job was in Cambridge, but only 6 miles door-to-door. Bicycle was much faster than anything else, taking the “T” a little slower, and I just about never drove, because that was by fart the slowest. That job moved to outside of Boston, 8.6 miles away. Car was fastest, bike to a bus (put bike on bike bus rack) was a little slower, bike all the way there required a shower at work, so that really wasted the most time. I couldn’t take that job today because I live in a different part of Boston now and it would be 13 miles, almost all of it on 128, which is the worst highway ever. Route 128 is where commuter souls go to die. I’ll never drive it anytime during the week if I don’t have to. It can be bumper-to-bumper at noon for no reason.

    I agree with this. I think there were also 4 or 5 older white women there who didn’t look violent and just wanted to condemn free speech, I think.

    This is just it…I read that quote as confirming my point…Bagholder likely reads it as confirming his point. There were non-racists who were not neo nazi’s there who just wanted to keep an old statue.

    Bagholder:
    -People who are horrible racists (neo-nazi’s/kkk) were present
    -people who like old statues were present (not neo-nazi’s)
    -People who don’t like old statues were present (not antifa)
    -People who are violent leftists were present (antifa)

    Ok?

    I think Charlottesville marked the official end of the sore loser protests, thankfully. The TV/movie celebrity twit tweets will go on to no end of course. After all, it takes little talent to read a teleprompter or memorize lines. I have never really understood why so many people go gaga over celebrities’ every word. Really. Most all of them were hired based on their appearance anyway, which they had nothing to do with.

    By the way, Robert De Niro is a high school drop out.

  87. Provocateur says:

    This is how media get to exercise their bias:
    If a “conservative” group has any detestable people in it, the media will cover those people as representative of that group. Because the media come in with the belief that the entire group is detestable anyway.
    If a “liberal” group has any detestable people in it, they simply ignore that subset of people as an aberration, because they just know that liberal groups have their hearts in the right place.

    Imagine if white right wingers performed music filled with racial epithets, hostility toward other races, glorifying criminal activity including killing police, forcing women to perform s3xual acts for them. I’d expect the media to be in a constant state of frenzy reporting on how this musical hate speech was encouraging white people to think and act like this. Funny how I hardly hear a peep of concern about the non-white copy of this imagined scenario that exists in the music industry today. Instead I see celebrations of it.

    Lib, selling your car, try Carvana. Input the info and it spits out a price. In NJ, they claim they will pick up the car. No idea how seller gets paid or if there are games played to determine final price.

    Sometimes cheaper to lease the car and buy it out at end of lease. leasehackr.com

    Current promotions, check out autobytel to see what incentives are available. Edmunds.com go to research and then car forums to get an idea what others pay and if there are undiscovered incentives.

    Lastly, don’t walk onto the dealers lot, do it by email (you must know the exact car you want, if you will lease or buy outright or finance – doing this lets you get down to brass tacks immediately). You can shop a far wider geography and if the price is good enough, flatbed it to your house for a couple hundred bucks. Once you are on dealer lot, they have advantage. Don’t be afraid to shop multiple states for best deal. What kind of car you want?

    Anyone think economy will start to slow in August and better auto deals will surface?

    If you really want to save money on a NEW car. You must be flexible enough to take whatever extra inventory that is on a lot when a new model (especially exterior changes) is released. If there is inventory over a year old. You can take the dealer to the slaughter house. We did this without CX-9. New model came out in 2014 (late 2013). Found dealers who had a few 2012s left. There was no way they could sell those even close to fair price when they still had to unload the physically different 2013s. Got nearly a true 10K off that car and got free power seats to boot. The color was nice too (aqua marine green).

    The funny thing is, we were looking to buy the new extended Hyundai Santa Fe. They were overpriced due to limited inventory. Then tried to find some leftover Sorrentos, but none were to be had. So I asked the dealer what he had that was rotting away with three rows of seats. BAM!

    expat, as much as I like to throw stones at pumps. I’d rather live on the GSP or the LIE than live anywhere near dayton ohio. There is a reason it’s so cheap…. Even in the better Detroit suburbs housing is more expensive. NJ and NY are expensive but that isn’t even the biggest thing it’s the usurious property taxes that almost have no equal. Ohio is pretty flat, no ocean, no lakes(no lake erie doesn’t count), it is as polluted as NJ, has some serious urban ghettos and way too many dreadful housing tracts. I’m sorry Detroit looks good in comparison.
