Real Estate and Stagflation | Turning a Crash into Cash

Downtown areas today present historically low prices for real estate investors.

Stagflation is the Name of the Game: The Dollar is Dust

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — Jawbone Jerome Powell today attempts to placate markets by raising interest rates. Unfortunately, Jerome’s half-hearted attempt at finally correcting radical fed monetary policy is too little too late. Inflation is already out of control, and cannot be fixed by increasing interest rates to 4, 5 or 6 percent. We are witnessing major changes, including the way we make, spend and save money. The U.S. Dollar is being replaced by blockchain cryptocurrencies. The laws of economics are fundamental in this analysis: Good money chases out bad. New money destroys old. Blockchain cryptocurrency annihilates the value of the US Dollar, which results in inflation. Radical fed policy and digital money printing results in inflation. Uncontrolled federal government spending results in inflation. Raising interest rates to 6% can put a slight dent in our runaway inflation, but cannot contain inflation that has such historic pressures pushing toward rapidly growing inflation.

We’re watching these changes play out in the form of stock market crashes that quickly end up at all-time highs, along with a real estate market crash that will also quickly end up at an all-time high. These are the effects of stagflation: economic stagnation combined with price inflation. It’s a one-two punch towards a terrible economy. That’s why the U.S. has the most pessimistic economic polls in many years.

As we mentioned recently, the billionaires and other astute investors are taking full advantage of the crashy stock market by picking up stocks on the cheap from the gut-punched dumb-money investors. With plenty of blood on the street, this fearful time is precisely the time to start picking up some good deals in the stock market in the form of high-quality stocks. For real estate, now is precisely the right time to pick up high-quality properties, while they are historically low-priced, in lockdown-depressed inner-city areas such as Downtown Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Real Estate Market Report: Downtown Rent Prices Reveal Stagflation

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — How’s the real estate market doing? Are prices up or down? Let’s take a look at how leased property statistics of April of 2021 compare to the same month in 2022. The difference is striking, according to real estate professional multiple listing service statistics for Downtown L.A. and nearby loft neighborhoods MLS areas 23, 42 and 1375. Rent prices are up significantly, while the number of transactions is down notably.

April 2021: 109 units leased, Days On Market Avg/Med 67/52, Price Med/Avg $2,694 / $2,904 Total volume $316,565

April 2022: 69 units leased, Days On Market Avg/Med 47/18, Price Med/Avg $2,800 / $2,994 Total volume $206,592

Stagflation is the name of the game in Downtown LA real estate when it comes to properties for lease. The last 30 days saw dramatic increases in price inflation for rental properties, as compared to the same period last year. Inventory has shrunk also.

These figures may reveal the impotence and backfiring of socialist-style mandates and tyrannical policies such as rent stabilization, virus hysteria and lockdown. The market responded to both with very substantial stagnation in the form of a slow down in transactions, yet with serious inflation realized as a sharp increase in costs to renters in the DTLA area. Clearly, there’s nothing stabilizing about government over-reaction and overreach. Along with gold, commodities, quality stocks and blockchain cryptocurrencies, home ownership continues to be among the best protections against stagflation.
