My Family
Our kids went back to school last week and my wife is pretty sad because our girl, Dylan Rose, is now a full timer.
Time goes by so quick – we are going to be empty nesters before we know it.
They had a lot of fun this Summer with trips to Utah and Hawaii and lots of swimming, gaming, IPading, Drawing, and playing.
Life was good!
Unfortunately, we had a very tough family event in August.
My Dad – Big Reg – passed away unexpectedly.
He will be greatly missed 🙁
Remember to love your family and friends dearly – you just never know when something like this can happen.
I hope you and your family have a great August!!

Mortgage and Housing News:
Interest rates have remained very steady over the course of the Summer.
Well qualified (740 +) conventional loan borrowers are usually locking in at 30 year fixed rates in the mid 4%’s to low 5%’s depending on closing costs considerations.
The big concern these days with many consumers is: ARE WE HEADING FOR ANOTHER HOUSING BUBBLE?
Because the real estate market has had healthy home appreciation over the past few years, many consumers feel that we are in line for a down turn.
Could this be a risky time to buy?
The housing data before the recent housing crash and today are very different.
HOME APPRECIATION LEVELS:
Before the most recent housing crash – homes were appreciating at a much higher level than normal.
See chart below:
Notice the years before the Great Recession had an appreciation level much higher than the historic normal.
Although homes have had healthy appreciation over a number of years, Today’s appreciation is close to the historic normal and is right in line with where it would be had a housing crash never happened.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND:
The other data that supports a healthy housing market is the supply and demand.
See chart below for Monthly Supply of Houses in the United states from FRED Economic Data.
Notice in the late 2000’s, the monthly inventory levels were very high.
There were far more homes than the demand for them which resulted in heavy depreciation.
When home prices drop it’s a simple matter of supply and demand.
There are more homes on the market than the demand for those homes which pushes prices down.
Currently, US homes have about a 6 month inventory level and we are at the lowest inventory levels in the past 4 years.
The data supports a healthy US real estate market.
