DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2015

Demographic shifts from retiring baby boomers and the increase of millennials buying homes will have the most profound impact on the real estate industry in the coming years, according to a new survey of real estate professionals from the Counselors of Real Estate. CRE’s survey identifies the issues that will have the most significant impact on real estate near and long-term.

NAR’s D.A.N.G.E.R Report:Game Changers Emerging in Real Estate

“This list reflects a higher degree of economic uncertainty than in years past,” says CRE chair Noah D. Shlaes. “Anticipation of rising interest rates, continued currency devaluation, and excess capital flowing into the United States are all on the minds of our membership. Combine this with a growing wage gap and major changes in demographics, and we’ve got a lot to think about this year.”

Issues topping the list include:

1. Demographic shifts: Retiring baby boomers and the population surge of  potential millennial home buyers are expected to have a big impact on real estate. For example, for seniors, housing needs will shift to homes where they can age-in-place or they may search for downsized homes, senior communities or assisted living. Millennials will be making choices on whether to buy or postpone buying and the location will have a big impact on their decision. Many people who are already on the go with the assistance of trusted moving comapnies like  Centurion Moving & Storage will also in a manner affect specific parts of real estate as the shift in houses can significantly case the price hike and fall of a place.

2. Excess capital supply:  U.S. real estate remains attractive to investors across the globe. “Funds continue to flow from outside the U.S. to purchase U.S. real estate,” BUILDER reports about the survey results. “The supply is driven by economies that have high savings rates, a shortage of mature financial markets and few safe assets. The investment rate is approaching record highs, presenting the potential for pressure on investments in the future.”

3. Rising interest rates: Interest rates have been near record lows, but are expected to rise later this year. An increase in interest rates could prompt an increase in short-term commercial development and slow home sales. However, if millennials get into the housing market before interest rates rise too much, they could help create a “second wind for the residential market,” BUILDER notes.

4. Global instability and currency devaluation: The U.S. dollar remains strong but the global economy is being affected by currency devaluation in many other countries, the report notes. Investment from foreign buyers helps to boost the U.S. housing market, but there is a risk if currency devaluation continues in other countries too.

5. Urbanization:  Young professionals as well as older generations are showing an increasing appetite for wanting to live in walkable communities in the city. On the commercial front, urban vertical shopping configurations are growing more popular. Also fueling the urbanization trend, greater corporate relocations have been occurring recently that are moving away from the suburbs to cities as companies try to lure more younger, urban professionals.

Testimonials

Top qualities: Great Results, Informative, High Integrity –

We had been renting for the five years since moving to Georgia, living in three different homes! Periodically we would call upon Ed to show us houses, but we were not able to find what we wanted, where we wanted. Ed was very patient and willing to work with us as we sought the place we finally bought. He guided us through the particulars of real estate and offered his expertise wisely and well. Our experience was a very pleasant one.
