Its a slight correction in the market.....If interest rates stay low, you will see the market pick up again.....Its also the off season, come spring, it should pick up again....

Real estate markets vary state to state as taxes .Real estate usually raises and I really don't see the past history doing other wise.Banks are now raising rates .We had a nice rate on real estate loans for awhile.Now people are slowing down buying and rates are going up again.

Prices grew by over 40% 2 years in a row.  Now prices have stabilized and homes are staying on the market longer.  Prices have not dropped, but with inventory increasing, it will probably happen soon.

It will crash when the number of Available properties for sale Increases above the Number of Geniun Buyers in the Market.This is the major Reason which is Subject to even small Enclaves ,for example in an Apartment complex thier are totally 200 flats and 100 flats are for sale by owners but thier are only 50 Buyers who are intrested in the Apartment than surely thier will be a Competetion among Sellers that leads to offers and Discounts and In a Market where there is Sellers Competetion Buyers always Wins.\nCheers\nMDW \nyou can find more on Buyers world go to http://www.bangalorecityhomes.com/Buyers_World/page_1603935.html

With higher interest rates, people don't buy as many houses and cars. Businesses don't construct as many new factories. So, there's not as much need for oil, concrete, steel, labor, etc. Lower demand means lower prices. Or, at least, prices that don't rise as much.

The intrest rate rising may cause property devaluation because fewer people will buy homes, and they will set on the market. Thats the only way I see that the % rate could effect values, but then again maybe a mortgage/realtor type will have a better answer.

The property value goes down because a black neighborhood is not desirable. Whites move out while they can still make a profit on their homes. They fear that the neighborhood will go down hill.

Our economy today is much more globalized.  I think that it is promising that more and more people own homes.  Home owners behave differently then renters in general.  They take more pride in their community and contribute more, thus helping the economy as a whole.  Besides, our population is still growing.  There are more people in the USA now then there were 10 years ago.  They have to live somewhere.  \n\nThe FED began to see what they called "frothiness" in the housing market and it is ONE of the reasons that they increased interest rates.  To slow the housing market.  The main reason was to control inflation and slow the economy, but housing was a concern.\n\nOur markets are safe for now.  It would take more than too many houses to bring it down.  Good question tho.

Rarely do prices in real estate drop.  Thats why they call it an investment.  The best time to buy is when interest rates are low.

The overall numbers suggest that home sales are up and prices have lowered.\n\nThis is due to the high number of sales in the southern region at lower prices.\n\nThis did not occur in the northeast where homes are more expensive and fewer sales were made.\n\nTherefore, the reported numbers are skewed and do not accurately represent the overall trend.

June 2006 money magazine says real estate prices in a few markets is going down but not in most areas. Many will still increase at the average. Prices must level off due to incomes not increasing that much and interest rates going up. Check out the mag article. I just subscribe to the magazine. Good luck. Its best to buy and hold for the long term. There are less deals available so find a few and keep them.

The higher the interest, the higher are monthly payments   and some people will not qualify for loans,  which means that if u have less buyers  the price will go down like with all others commodities.

If you are trying to buy a house in Ca, you should wait a year or two because the market is cooling off and the prices of houses are dropping.  I was told buy a realitor to wait a year or two.

Both answers are true, real estate is a growing market, and the first sale is the hardest, but after that, it is smooth sailing.\nP.S. I've always wondered, 'Real Estate,' as apposed to 'Imaginary Estate?' let me know someone, poptartisme3@yahoo.com

real estate is going up....buy now and in the long run you'll get your money back and then some....besides why pay rent and pay off someone else's mortage when you can be putting that money towards your own mortage
