Real estate trends to be aware of in 2015 – Which are the best markets for investing?

Real estate trendsDue to the sudden recovery in the housing market across the United States of America, prices in many markets have shot up. According to reports by Realty Trac, the median sales price of the single-family homes and condominiums had reached their highest level since September, 2008. Appreciation of price and the tempting number of foreclosures created frenzy among the real estate investors who were willing to pay cash and this in turn made it tougher for the traditional buyers to compete with them. However, experts are of the opinion that 2015 will be marked due to rejuvenation of normalcy and balance for the entire real estate markets throughout the nation. It has been a tough time for the buyers but it is certainly going to be easy in 2015.

The chief economist of Redfin.com, Nela Richardson agrees that it has been a pretty clear pattern that the activity among the investors has been shrinking with time. Nowadays, investors are only interested in places where they can buy low and sell high. The growth in price is slowing down dramatically and hence they are not able to sell at a much higher price than what they buy. Investment properties will be less interesting in 2014 and will continue throughout 2015.

Real estate trends to watch out for in 2015

If you’re an investor or a buyer, you should be aware of the bigger picture and before taking any step into the market, you need to know the trends that you should watch out for. Below listed are some of the real estate market trends that you should be aware of in 2015.

1. An improved market for all buyers: For all the middle-class homebuyers within the US, 2015 is indeed going to be a rather better year than 2014 as more inventory will be coming into the market, as per chief economist Jed Kolko. As the appreciation of home prices are predicted to flatten out, the present owners will have enough incentive to sell off their properties before the prices dip down yet again. In fact, the median sales price for single household homes was $217,400 in 2014, which was up from 2013 when the median sales price was only $196,300, as per the National Association of Realtors. For the buyers, the good news is that there are lots of people who have got back above water.

2. Interest rates on mortgages will stay pretty low: An ace mortgage broker sees an indeed prosperous and flourishing 2015 and due to that he plans to increase his number of mortgage officers. What is the key reason behind this? Well, the interest rates are going to stay pretty low simply due to the locational chaos and unrest and this will in turn keep inflation under control and will also lower oil prices. More and more buyers will be starting soon with buying homes in 2015. The interest rates were already low in 2014 but in 2015 the lower rates would translate to higher number of home sales.

3. The changing age game: The millenials are even bigger cohorts than their so-called baby boomers generation. As the tendency among the millenials to procrastinate homeownership and rent longer will directly affect the apartment sector, survey interviewees also studied that the investors should take into account the housing preference of millenials that could change in 2020s. Looking beyond the millenials, this report also predicts further changes in the industry which results in the emergence of the smaller Generation Z.

4. Relationship of real estate & technology will intensify: We all are aware of the fact that no particular form of real estate is excluded from the expansion of technology. Technology is the main factor that is evoking chance in space use, locations and other demand levels. Now that the entire industry is going online and there is increasing birth of e-commerce websites, the love-hate relationship between technology and real estate will definitely intensify.
