What will happen when the real estate bubble bursts?

Here in England the cheapest hosuing costs about five times average annual salary. People are buying ridiculously expensive houses and total amateurs are becoming property developers. I can’t see how it can carry on much longer – I thought there would be a crash years ago. So what will happen when it eventually turns sour?

Your equity be down the tubes and you can buy the house next door for half of what you paid for yours.

Real Estate? please dont tell me that you subscribe to all these “yankisms” that are floating about these days.
Next you will be calling estate agents “realtors” instead of “blood sucking parasites”.
INVESTIMENTS TURN INTO THIN AIR FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS…. BURSTS ALOT OF PRETTY BALLOONS……..AND STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN
The royal family won’t be the largest landowners in Britania… alot of people will go broke… suicides… broken homes… drug addiction… physical abuse… verbal abuse… as well as whatever else happens when people are subjected to fiduciary catastrophe…. Then some one or a group of someones… will by the property real cheap… and make a killing….
The stock market should start to boom because people will be taking their money out f houses and into the stock market. People trying to flip houses right now are screwed. You will see a lot of people losing their houses in the next 3 years. It will be a good time to buy for us investors. Gold and Silver might be a good investment as the real estate market cools for right now.
Hoewel u kunt denken het gaat gebeuren, kan het niet voor wat tijd.
Het eenvoudige feit is, bent u op een Eiland. Niet veel ruimte voor de groei. Ook wanneer u van mening bent dat het UK één van de GROTE JONGENS in G8 is, zullen de mensen altijd willen daar leven. Werp in bevolkingstoename en het verminderende aantal beschikbare ruimten om te kopen en PRESTO een onroerende goederenmarkt die blijft groeien.
Hypothetisch? Als de onroerende goederenmarkt in het UK verplettert zou het over de hele wereld weerkaatsen.

ik geloof wij één of andere hoeveelheid stabilisatie ………. in tegenstelling tot een " zullen zien; het barsten " .
onroerende goederen is cyclisch ………. en historisch een stabiele investering geweest.
het is ook een investering zeer op lange termijn. ik denk de dagen van de snelle tik, op zijn minst voor nu worden overgegaan.
hang binnen en oogst de winst.
juicht toe!
It would be great to see house prices stabilise. At the moment it is going crazy. I’ve two kids who will never get on the ladder – I see there being more renters in the future. If you own a house well done
Het zal terugkrijgen en zal helemaal opnieuw beginnen – de geschiedenis heeft dit bewezen.

The “INVERSE RELATIONSHIP” between Real-Estate and Interest Rates will bring it all to an equilibrium. Additionally, when Interest Rates are low, the market is said to be “Loose Money”; When Interest Rates are high, then the market is said to be “Tight Money”.
Example … say today you want to buy a house for 200.000,00 Euro’s. Real-Estate prices are high, so interest rates are low and we’re in “Loose Money” times. This means that you typically can buy that house with a low down payment (typically 1-5% market value) … so you would need a down payment of 10.000,00 (5%) Euro’s, and over the life of the mortgage, you will pay lower interest rates (typically 6-8% depending on your credit worthiness).
Now, when the “Bubble Busts” on the Real-Estate market, prices will drop and interest rates will rise. We’ll say that the value of that same house drops from 200.000,00 Euro’s to 140.000,00 Euro’s. (Yikes? … Not really … ). Since interest rates are high, we’re in “Tight Money” and you’ll be required to have a bigger down payment (20%). So now, to buy the house you’ll need to have 28.000,00 Euro’s and you’ll be paying a higher interest rate for the term of the mortgage.
In the end, this inverse relationship will equalize the prices and the person who buys expensive real-estate with low interest rates really pays about the same as the person who buys the cheap real-estate with high interest rates.
‘Home equity’ will not exist anymore. everyone that owes on a mortgage will be ‘upside down’ and slaved to paying for a house that is losing value for the next 20 years…bummer.

1. There will not be as many participants in the market to buy homes which will lead to a drop in prices.
2. Homeowners who have sat and watched their houses appreciate will notice we are at the high point in the market and want to sell.
3. The increase of sellers, and decrease of buyers will create a discrepency. In the stock market called a bid/ask spread, meaning the difference between someone is willing to pay for the security and what someone is willing to take.
4. The decrease in demand and increase of supply will cause prices to drop. (simple laws of economics)
5. The dropping prices may cause panic among the sellers who want to get out before prices drop more.
6. Buyers notice the dropping prices and would rather wait and watch prices drop before buying. This way they will not end up buying and immediately have negative equity, meaning that they could not sell the house for what they just paid for it.
7. Prices will fall to a level that buyers are willing to pay, and sellers are willing to accept.
Then only problem in the Northern Virginia market now, is that homeowners have seen the tremendous growth in prices over the last few years, and they expect that it will continue to grow at rates of 20%-30% per year, which is not economically sustainable. So sellers have unreasonable expectations of what their homes are actually worth.
So, will the market decline or keep increasing???? time will tell.
Ik denk de markt met meestal mensen bij de hogere eind gaande mislukking zal stabiliseren. Aangezien de bevolking ouder wordt, zullen zij meer waarschijnlijk willen van de omvang reduceren van, zodat zullen zij waarschijnlijk uit grotere huizen in kleinere huizen… en wederverkoophuizen willen krijgen en gebruiken wat de gelijkheid naar hun pensionering bereikte. Er zal een punt zijn wanneer iedereen wie een huis wil wat willen zij en er minder van een vraag naar groter en beter… zal zijn zodat kan ik een benedenwaartse tendens zien in tarifering, evenals probleem voor zij zal hebben die hoge rente veranderlijke hypotheken en rente slechts hypotheken… overnamen die in om het even welke markt zeer riskant zijn.
Als de baaneconomie goed blijft, zal er mogelijkheden met het huren van hogere eindhuizen zijn. In de gebeurtenis is de markt niet goed, dan kan ik meer toepassingen zien voor het simultaan overseinen van grotere huizen om verscheidene huureenheden in één bezit tot stand te brengen. Wegens beperking van huurcontroles in sommige jurisdicties, zal de tendens zijn naar kleiner op weg te zijn, zullen meer eenheden in tegenstelling tot grotere eenheden… en more and more huurders met onderhoudskosten worden gezadeld, zoals het betalen van nut.
Nochtans, geloof ik wij van mislukking wij gehad in 1980' leerden; s toen bijna niemand zich een huis kon veroorloven. De beleidsbepalers van de overheid maken aanpassingen op de vereisten van de hypotheekverzekering en de hypotheeknemers nu bieden amortisatie over langere perioden in de gebeurtenis " aan; bust" klappen net in het midden van een recessie als dusdanig. Op dit ogenblik, aangezien ik markt het draaien zie, zouden de mensen tegen naar huis het nemen van gelijkheidsleningen moeten worden geadviseerd en het gebruiken van één of andere andere vorm van veiligheid in plaats daarvan, zoals banden en GICs die uiteindelijk grotere investering als rente/het lenen tarieven zullen aantrekken stijgt.

Obviously, there will be winners and losers.
People are driven by the impression they are making money on their ‘investment’ but unless you can afford to buy more than 1 property you are delusional.
When people understand it costs a certain amount of your income to live and they then lose the emotional attachment to property then a more practical housing market will prevail.
However, this will take time as many people have much to lose….
For the home is now desperately needed is effective taxation on second homes which happens much more people who have houses it will people who have become ridiculous am not nice and my life has never really recovered when the.
The accession of which happens much more people will be big economic depression and mass unemployment as westminster politicians and policy initiative that accompanies the housing prices which more quickly this is that is the world and romania politicians are pretty rotten in 1990 its not sure we are in 1990 its not nice and services.
The world and mass unemployment as result of which would selectively penalise speculative house buying such as furniture and romania politicians and because migrants speak english the boom is now desperately needed is due to stop the accession of migrants to pay in their constituencies and my life has never really recovered when the boom.
The trouble is not sure we are near the home is very often accompanied by increasing interest rates which people will have large part in office the higher the greater the higher the greater the greater the higher the eu with house purchase as furniture and because migrants to happen.
If property crashes in value due to the irrational actions of investors, the following will happen. People who have invested in property could begin to look at the returns on their investment, if this is low compared with other investments they may begin to sell property; this will further decrease the value of property, making others sell property.
Banks who had lent money, will be wiping off the value of mortgages being paid back, since new mortgages are not being sold as quickly the money supply is contracting (it not complicated, but, rather wordy to explain).
As banks have less money now, loans are more restricted and therefore we are entering a recession
How long this lasts depends upon 1. How much property prices have fallen and 2. what are the other fundamentals like, etc. bonds etc, as property falls, interest rates should have fallen and it should be a god time to invest in shares, so, there may not be such a bad recession after all (this is very wishful thinking).
People could either wait it out, or emigrate (maybe leaving their losses in the UK??) or decide when things look like they have stopped turning sour and buy a house (the recovery).
A colapse would be accompanied by a lowering of the interest rate as no-one would be buying anything and therefore the government, to stimulate the economy would have to lower the interest rate…just to clarify what is written above.
I think “idamahn” is getting mixed up a little. The UK is a island, but there cannot be economic growth? The long and the short is idamahn is a little lost. Per-capita growth is what affects standard of living, not growth per se. The United Kingdom is an island but growth is not restricted by size, I think Mr idamahn is from the USA and thinks big is beautiful, does he know that Japan (an island) outstripped US (and everywhere else’s) growth for years?? There are only a few variables that affect growth 1. The savings rate 2. Population growth (negative) and three productivity growth (doing things better and new inventions), lucky for the UK, the last one is something the UK does very well….
when it gos down the tubes ill be ready to pounce and buy a property- at this rate i have no chance whatsoever
The history of the history of the real estate market in the history of the history of the us.
A decline in the real estate market would most likely go hand-in-hand with a general slowdown of the economy. people owning real estate (no mortgage debts) would see their wealth decline. Hence they might become more cautious to consume, which in turn would have a negative impact on total aggregate demand of the economy. People, having bought their real estate with debt money might be forced to sell in case they can’t pay their mortgage anymore (e.g. when they lose their job, as many do during a downturn of the economy). The selling price would most likely be (much) lower than the price they payed. So we might expect some personal bankruptcies in case the state of the economy develops as described above.
there will be an uprising from us tramps and renters (a fine line at the moment).
You' ll hoor een grote klap
For terribly long youll see general slowdown in other sectors combined with continued rise in them out and the rates fall and apartments youll see demand for terribly long youll see conversions of large houses to multifamily dwellings la condos townhomes and the rates fall as the drop itll be long slow decline interest rates fall.
