If you turn on the TV, listen to the radio, or even surf the internet, youll notice that there is a lot of people talking about the Real Estate Bubble, and asking the question, when is it going to burst? They (these so-called experts) have been saying for years that the real estate
market cant continue this type of growth. These experts remind me of chicken little, with all of their prosphesy of doom and gloom, and the sky is falling syndrome. The truth is there has never been a real estate bubble in the past, or presently, and there will certainly never be one in the future. Talk about there being a real estate bubble is the stuff that urban legends are made of.
Heres the readers digest version of what it all means. The
real estate market is really, a wave. Its cyclical, and
we are riding on a big wave right now. Real Estate is just
like Investing in the stock market, There are good years
when values rise and there are years that are better, when
values rise even higher. Thats it, in a nutshell. Real
estate has gone up and down throughout history, and
generally speaking, it is fairly stable. When you look at a
graph of real estate values, you would be able to see a
clear pattern of increasing values. Now some years would
have higher peaks than others, and all in all, it is a
gradual building slope from left to right. And it looks just
like a wave.
In addition, there are more up cycles, than down cycles. So
the recent growth weve had will be followed by ones of
downturn. The only difference is that it may not be as much
of an increase, in other words the increase will be slower.
The bottom line is, it will still be growth. This is why
there will always be growth. Real Estate is a basic need.
People need a roof over their heads. You can rest assured
that people will be renting, buying, leasing, and selling
homes. And it doesnt matter if the market is low or high or
if the interest rates are up or down. Real Estate is a sure
thing!
Remember Real Estate cycles tend to be regionally based.
Real Estate is always driven by the economic principles of
supply and demand. Some areas of the country, like
Seattle, are going gangbusters, and real estate values are
going sky high, and other areas like parts of the northeast
are not increasing by the same percentage. However
almost
all areas are going up in value. Historically, property
values increase in a strong job market. Other factors
to think about include; program funding, interest rates,
population growth, climate, and user-friendly state and
local governments, including school system changes.
These
are critical points to consider when investing in real
estate, either as a landlord or for personal use.
The key to successful real estate investing is to understand
what drives the market. Stay on top of what is going on in
your market place. Research the internet, read articles, get
involved with your community. One other key to staying at
the top of your game is to get a mentor or coach to help you
succeed in your real estate investing career. If coaching is
good enough for sports figures like Tiger Woods, why not
you?
To sum it up, Real Estate bubbles dont exist, but there is
a real estate wave. As any surfer knows, if you want to
ride the waves, you need to get in the water. Watching the
action can be fun, but will it put any money in your pocket?
Invest with the intention of providing a service for others,
and you can become rich investing in Real Estate.
