Stagflation and Real Estate Prices Part 2

Cracks appear in Fed policy as stagnation and inflation combine. Home prices rise while real value falls.

Stagflation refers to an economy that is experiencing a simultaneous increase in inflation and stagnation of economic output. Stagflation was first recognized during the 1970’s, where many developed economies experienced rapid inflation and high unemployment as a result of an oil shock. Today, the country is in a situation in which the inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains steadily high. It presents an economic dilemma for fed policy, since actions intended to lower inflation may exacerbate unemployment. #stagflation #realestate #prices | Blog Video

Recently much of the growing U.S. inflation is hidden in forms of Quantitative Easing; Repo Market Repurchases; stock market bubble, food, household goods, fuel, energy, building materials, housing price increases and higher taxes. These hiding places of inflation allow real inflation to hover around 10% while the official inflation numbers are presented as only around 2%. Shortages are another sign of cloaked inflation pressure. Stagflation looms, as economic stagnation and inflation risks continue to mount, with a growing possibility of nightmare scenarios.

Just as the Greater Depression of 2020 is pushing, forcing and separating the middle class into categories of richer and poorer, today’s panic-fueled dynamo of rapid change leads to differentiation and bifurcation of real estate markets as neighborhoods get pressed and separated into winners and losers. The chief winners are currently the suburban neighborhoods that have been labeled as “safer,” while the losers are inner city areas and neighborhoods with reputations for higher crime. Big cities bear the brunt of the crazy virus hysteria . Downtown Los Angeles and other big cities see falling home values and dwindling real estate markets while suburban towns like Cypress, California enjoy growing home equity and population growth.

Downtown L.A. has suffered among the worst over the last two years, with a median sold home price drop in September of $33,000. This is on top of a drop of $35,000 the previous year, for a two year decline of $68,000 in the median Downtown LA home price. The decline in home values is also attributed to an explosion of 3rd-world style homeless tent encampments, litter and crime in DTLA and many other Los Angeles neighborhoods.

How to Buy a Loft in Downtown Los Angeles – Go Back in Time to Get the Best Deal

Buying a Condominium in Downtown L.A.
Should Home Buyers Wait Until Prices Crash Again or Should Buyers Go Back in Time?

Because prices have gone up significantly in the past few years. our team of real estate professionals hears all too many complain that they want to buy today’s homes at yesterday’s prices. A typical real estate market lasts 6 months. That means that prices today are about the same as they were 3 months ago, and about the same as they will be in 3 months. Real estate agents and appraisers use this 6-month rule in determining property values. Those who want to buy 1 year from now or who wish they bought 3 years ago are not in today’s real estate market. But there is a solution. There is one kind of time machine that does work.

Should I buy now, or should I wait?

“If I only would have bought three years ago.” —  Our team hears that line all two often these days now that Downtown loft and condo prices have more than doubled in the past 3 years.  That sentiment usually coincides with a desire to own a home, but, unfortunately, also with a continuing failure to pull the trigger.  Those who are afraid to buy a home in today’s healthy, stable real estate market are, in fact, also likely to be petrified when confronted by a major recession.  Another line that we hear: “I’m going to wait for Downtown real estate prices to drop,” say some recent wanna-be home owners.  “Good luck!” says Alta loft owner Mike P.

Fortune Favors the Bold —  Virgil

Time is on Mike’s side because he was ready, willing and able to buy a home in 2012 when prices were at the bottom.  Mike took advantage of low prices, low rates, special incentives and a first-time homebuyer’s assistance program when they were available. Those programs are largely long-gone, and what similar programs remain are mostly rendered impotent in L.A.’s competitive, hot real estate market, where cash is king.

Housing prices have generally only sustained big drops during recessions, and the scaredy cats who are afraid to buy a home in today’s stable market have no rationale for proclaiming that they will have the money and guts to buy a home when a major recession hits again.

The truth is that real estate prices usually go up and up and up most of the time.  They rarely go down. The long-term real estate price chart is UP.  As for the time machine that lets us benefit from the past — there is only one true way to go back in time. Today is the past when we look at it from the future, therefore, successful outcomes call for taking action today. Or, as Inc puts it, Choices Today Create Our Tomorrow.
