Real Estate Prices: Boom

Calculated Risk: California Real Estate Prices: Boom and Bust Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? BlogThis! Calculated Risk Click Here to Return to Main Page Politics and Economics Tuesday, March 15, 2005 California Real Estate Prices: Boom and Bust Today I heard someone comment that California Real Estate never goes down. In fact, California RE has declined in the past in both real and nominal terms. Click on graph for larger image. This graph shows the price of California RE based on the OFHEO California housing index . For the real price, the nominal price is adjusted by CPI, less Shelter, from the BLS . (1976 = 100) The graph shows that in real terms we have seen two declines since 1980. The first decline, in the early '80s, lasted 3 years. The second decline, in the early to mid '90s, lasted 6 years. The second graph shows the same information by annual rate of return, both real and nominal. The decline in the '90s lasted 24 quarters from peak to trough. It took 9 years for prices to recover in nominal terms to their early '91 peak. Overall prices declined 12% in nominal terms and 26% in real terms. Even more important for the economy are the coincident declines in sales volume. Real Estate prices are “sticky downward” since sellers are slow to adjust their prices down, and buyers are reluctant to buy a declining price asset. In this regards, real estate is an imperfect market in that prices adjust slowly to changes in supply and demand (unlike commodities like corn or wheat). Although prices do decline, it’s the decline in volume that leads to declining employment in real estate related occupations like construction, RE sales, mortgages, and more, and impacts the general economy. posted by CalculatedRisk at 8:39 PM Comments | Trackback Calculated Risk: a senior executive, retired from a public company, with a background in investing, finance and economics.

Reviews Synopsis This guide to buying a property in Spain offers first-hand advice on where to stay, dealing with estate agents and builders and the types of properties available. It covers building your own home, renovating a ruin, and renting a cosy cottage. From the Author 'After 38 years of corporate life, work was giving little satisfaction. A change was necessary. I wanted to stop work but knew I couldn't simply retire and live happily in the UK. I still needed a challenge. Finally I decided to move to Spain. Why? Because Spain is relatively close to home, it has an excellent climate and the cost of living is lower than in Northern Europe. During my life I've made some good and bad decisions - but coming to Spain was one of the best I've made. I now live in a town house, on the edge of a Spanish village. The back door opens onto a path leading to the mountains. The front bedroom window overlooks the Med only a few kilometres away. The neighbours are all Spanish. It doesn't get much better than that.'

Customer Review: Write an online review and share your thoughts with other shoppers! Don't waste your time or money , October 6, 2005 Reviewer: feeMag from Dublin, Ireland I can see how this guy managed to buy a house in Spain. He wrote a book that is padded to the hilt with useless information fo fund it. If you want to know what the weather or the people in Spain are like then you can read about it in this book. The amount of helpful information about buying property in Spain can be found in about 2 pages, information that you would probably find online. Seriously don't waste your money by buying this book, save it for your house in Spain. Was this review helpful to you? 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful: A really practical guide to buying a house in Spain , June 30, 2003 Reviewer: Richard Parker from Bradford, England I found this book very helpful, especially the explanations of all the different legal documents. None of the other books I considered explain the legal documents involved in buying a Spanish property quite as clearly. The sample documents helped me to understand what was asked of me. As somebody who has never dealt with Spanish solicitors and agents before, I was glad to get a low-down on what they do and what to look out for from this book. A really useful book; well done, Harry King! Was this review helpful to you? 18 of 23 people found the following review helpful: Look elsewhere!! , June 4, 2003 Reviewer: Mr N Batcheler from London United Kingdom If you've never been to Spain before, know absolutely nothing about the country, and don't perhaps possess at least a minimal ammount of common sense then you might, just might, find something in this book of some use. Otherwise I would urge you not to waste your time or money by buying this book - I made the mistake so you don't have to! The style of writing is amateurish to say the least, the layout has obviously been designed by someone that's just bought some new software and wants to use all it's features at once, the content is shallow and next to useless as a guide to buying property. All in all I am amazed that this book ever made it into print, it really shouldn't have. I've only given it one star as it's not possible to give none! Was this review helpful to you? 54 of 58 people found the following review helpful: Buying a property in spain , November 9, 2002 Reviewer: mozz43 from Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom If you,like me are considering buying a property in spain,either for permenant living (as i am)or soley for holidays and rental purposes buy and read this book before you do anything else. The book deals with all aspects of buying and all the legal side of a purchase in spain, and all the strange spainsh laws that us English do not understand,such as checking that the property has no debts attatched to it or if you buy and it has YOU are responsable for them. This book is well written,and in most part (not the law side)very easy to understand ,and has informed me of a lot of things i did not know which is very valuable when you are spending a lot of your hard earned cash on a purchase in a different contry with such uncommon laws,i would highly recommend this book if you are considering a place in the sun.
