It’s Cheaper to Buy than Rent

According to Trulia’s Rent vs Buy index, it is now cheaper to buy than to rent in 72 percent of the 50 largest cities in the United States.  The reason for this, according to Pete Flint, CEO of Trulia, is that “many former home owners are flooding the rental market” as a result of the recession.  The Rent vs Buy index is based upon the median price of homes in an area compared to the median rent of 2 bedroom apartments, condos, and townhomes as of January 1, 2011.

Here is a list of the top 10 cities which, according to Trulia, are cheaper to buy than to rent…

1. Miami
2. Las Vegas
3. Arlington, Texas
4. Mesa, Ariz.
5. Phoenix, Ariz.
6. Jacksonville, Fla.
7. Sacramento, Calif.
8. San Antonio, Texas
9. Fresno, Calif.
10. El Paso, Texas

Bend Real Estate Market Trends – 5 Year (July 2006-July 2011)

Bend Real Estate Trends* – Introduction

Whether you are a buyer, seller, investor, realtor, or even a mortgage broker, it is
important to keep abreast of where we are in the economic cycle as it relates to Bend real estate. In this report, we will analyze Bend real estate data for the following: For Sale vs Sold, Average Price Per Square Foot, Days on Market, Average and Price For Sale and Sold.  This is a great time to look at the 5 year trend as we are comparing real estate in the heydays of 2006 to the optimism and hope of 2011.

Sales vs Sold for Bend Real Estate

Although home sales have remained relatively flat, with the lowest sales in 2008 and
early 2009, there has been a dramatic decrease in homes for sale in Bend. In particular, from 2006, the number of homes for sale in Bend have decrease by 54.7%. Due to the lower level of supply, we have seen an increase in the number of building permits with the City of Bend, and a recent increase in number of homes for sale over the past few months.

 

Average Price per Square Foot – Real Estate in Bend

The past 5 years have shown a dramatic decrease in the square foot home prices in Bend of over 40%.  Most of the fall in home prices occurred in 2008.  If one is looking for a bottom, it may have happened in February of 2011 with slow but steady growth of about 2% per month through July 2011.

 

Average Days on Market – Bend Oregon Real Estate

Perhaps this is the most hopeful of all the data in this trend report for everyone except homebuyers as it supports the recent rise in housing costs per square foot data based upon simple supply and demand.  The biggest change comes in the last month of this report (June-July 2011) where the average days on market dropped by over 12% and the difference between list price and sales price was less than 1%.

Average Price Sale & Sold – Bend OR Real Estate

The average sold price for Bend OR real estate has taken a big hit over the past 5 years to the tune of over 41%.  The last 12 months have seen a large decrease in sold prices as well of about 10%.  The good news is that this decline appears to have leveled off, and the average price for sale homes is now on the rise.

Summary – Bend Real Estate Market

There are definite signs that may be signaling a bottom in the Bend real estate market.  Over the past 5 years, Bend has seen dramatic decreases in the number of homes for sale,
along with significant decreases in the average number of days on market to sell these homes.  Although there have also been sharp decreases in housing prices, recent months have shown a steady increase in the average price per square foot for sold homes and much sharper increases for listing prices.  However, it is difficult with the volatility of the current economic and political climate to conclude anything for certain, but it may be that the bottom in the Bend real estate market occurred earlier this year and the worst in now behind us.  For more info or to search MLS homes, please visit Bend Premier Real Estate downtown or on the website.

Bend Projected #2 for Strong Housing Recovery!!!

Bend home prices are expected to recover 33.6 percent by 2014 compared to a national average of only 7.2 percent, according to a recent Fiserv and Moody’s forecast that includes factors such as income growth, demographic trends, unemployment, foreclosure rates, and construction costs.  Bend ranked #2 of the 378 places surveyed, only behind the Bremerton-Silverdale area of Washington State, which had a projected price increase of 44.7% from 2010 to 2014.

To put things into perspective, U.S. home prices have declined an average of 29.5% over the past 4 years, with Bend home prices having dropped about 40%.  According to David
Stiff, the chief economist for Fiserv,  “prices should form a trough early next year, when median prices will be down an estimated 32.9% from the 2006 peak”.

Other areas projected in the top 10 for a strong recovery include Detroit-Livonia-Deerborn Michigan, Napa California, Carson City Nevada, Panama City-Lynn Haven-Panama City Beach Florida, Flagstaff Arizona, Santa Fe New Mexico, Cheyenne Wyoming, and Anchorage Alaska. viagra
