4. With prices still increasing, is another
housing bubble starting to form?
5. “While today many other asset classes
remain turbulent, real estate prices have
been an oasis of stability, and they are
expected to remain stable in the short term
due to very tight inventory of unsold homes and
rising purchase demand. This is important because
volatility is generally an indicator of risk. Just like
the 1990s, a stable home price environment is a
very good sign for the housing market and will help
anchor the economy if it encounters rough patches
in the future.”

18. Is there a challenge with affordability
in the current real estate market?
19. “The Housing Affordability Index measures whether or
not a typical family earns enough income to qualify for
a mortgage loan on a typical home at the national level
based on the most recent price and income data.”
Basically a value of 100 means a family
earning the median income earns enough
to qualify for a mortgage on a median
priced home at the time. Anything
above 100 means the family has
more than enough to qualify.
The higher the score the easier it is.”

“The modest bump in June
sales to first-time buyers
can be attributed to mortgage
rates near all-time lows and
perhaps a hopeful indication that
more affordable, lower-priced
homes are beginning to make their
way onto the market.”

27. Whether You Rent or Buy, You’re Paying
a Mortgage
“Households must consume housing whether they own or rent. Not even
accounting for more favorable tax treatment of owning, homeowners pay
debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent
pay down the principal of a landlord plus a rate of return.
That’s yet another reason owning often does—as Americans intuit—end up
making more financial sense than renting.”
28. "Houses are tangible.
You can physically see and
feel the product. So you know
where your money is going: It's
going into that house.”
