Best Place to Stash Some Cash?

The Tim — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:18:01 +0000

With the stock market swinging wildly up and down, real estate prices still falling in many markets, and banks paying basically zero (or worse) on savings accounts, I’m curious what the readers think about where’s the best place to keep one’s cash today.

Let’s assume you just want to hold the money and avoid losing value (including to inflation). Gaining a large return is not a requirement. Where would you stash your cash today? For the real estate option, let’s assume that we’re not talking about Seattle-area real estate, but some other market that has corrected more.

Predictions: Looking Into the Crystal Ball for 2010

The Tim — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:18:01 +0000

It is time once again for our annual predictions post, where your host goes on record with crazy shots in the dark about what might happen in the Seattle real estate market over the next calendar year. For those of you following along with this game at home, here are the predictions of record for the past three years: 2007, 2008, & 2009.

First up, let’s see how everyone from 2009’s post did.

The Contenders:

Matthew Gardner, local land-use economist
Steve Tytler, Everett Herald Real Estate Columnist / owner, Best Mortgage
J. Lennox Scott, Chairman and CEO of John L. Scott Real Estate
Tim Ellis, editor-in-chief, Seattle Bubble

	Gardner	Tytler	Scott	Ellis	King Co. SFH
Prices:	“essentially flat”	-5% to 10%	“stabilized”	“about -10%”	-5.8%

This year’s winner for the closest prediction is Steve Tytler, whose guesses have consistently been the closest of anyone actually in the industry. My price guess looks like it will probably end up being the closest if you use Seattle’s Case-Shiller data (October was down 12.4%), but to be fair and consistent, we’re sticking with the NWMLS median, so Steve gets the prize this year.

Here is the text of my predictions on inventory, sales, and prices last year:

My guess is that inventory in 2009 will be flat to slightly down from 2008 for most of the year. I am betting that the double-digit YOY drops in sales will not last beyond the first or second quarter, but will eventually flatten out and maybe even show YOY gains.
…
As far as a specific prediction on prices, my guess is about another 10 percent drop in 2009, which would put December 2009’s median at $363,150.

Inventory did indeed end the year down, and sales showed YOY gains. Overall, my biggest shortcoming was in failing to foresee the February implementation of the $8,000 tax credit, which clearly provided a short-term boost to the market.

The Real Estate Non-Market
This brings me to my giant caveat for 2010. The excellent real estate analyst Rich Toscano wrote a great piece in November about the increasing difficulty of Forecasting the Real Estate Non-Market that I feel is quite relevant.

…the real estate “market” is now as much a political entity as it is an economic entity. The government has gone to amazing levels of effort to prop up the housing market. …huge amounts of money are being borrowed or simply created out of thin air and shunted directly into the housing market through multiple channels. Even as demand is thus boosted, supply is being constrained by foreclosure moratoria and opaque and arbitrary financial industry bailouts.

The net effect is that government intervention is exerting an enormous influence on the housing market. So one can’t just look at fundamentals as in the good old days. Instead, one is forced to practice a sort of real estate Kremlinology in an attempt to figure out how fiscal and monetary policy will affect, or cease to affect, the market.

Looking Back at Where We Have Been
Of course, it’s still fun to make wild guesses, even if we don’t know what the government will pull out of their future taxpayer-funded hat next. But before we get to this year’s predictions, I thought it might be informative to drop a few charts. The following three charts go back through 1993, which is as far back as I have been able to locate consistent NWMLS data on home prices.

First up is King County’s median SFH sale price, adjusted for inflation in November 2009 (the latest CPI data) dollars.

In November 2009 dollars, the July 2007 peak was just barely shy of $500,000, peaking at $499,545. December 2009 came in 24% off that peak. Next, here is a chart of home prices and King County median household incomes, indexed to January 1993.

Something still seems a bit, shall we say, off about that. Lastly, here is King County’s affordability index:

Definitely an improvement there, but a lot of what is keeping that above 90 is the crazy low interest rates, being held there thanks to the government. See above.

The Crystal Ball Gets Murky
So, let’s see what predictions we can find from the usual suspects for 2010.

Oddly enough, it seems that fewer and fewer local real estate professionals are willing to step out on a limb with predictions. The only article I was able to find that referenced 2010 and quoted Gardner, Crellin, and Scott was Eric Pryne’s piece in the Times: Tax credit fuels home-sales bounce, but will it be just a blip?.

Here’s all those three had to say in that article:

In February, Congress approved an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers in hopes of kick-starting moribund home sales.

“It worked,” Lennox Scott, chairman and CEO of John L. Scott Real Estate, said at a recent industry forum. “That’s what completely activated the market.”
…
After plummeting 20 percent in 18 months from its summer 2007 peak, the median price of a single-family home sold in King County slipped only slightly more in 2009.
…
And next year? “They’re not going to go up,” Jill Wood, Windermere Real Estate president, said of home prices. “They’ve probably leveled off for now.”

Even that assessment may be optimistic, others say. Glenn Crellin, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research at Washington State University, said it’s more likely that prices will continue to decline through midyear.
…
The question now is, how many prospective buyers remain? “Were we stealing future demand?” Seattle land-use economist Matthew Gardner asked at a recent forum.

So we’ve got no prediction from Scott, an ambiguous forecast of a decline from Crellin, and a question from Gardner that he likely already knows the answer to. We did also get a bonus forecast from Jill Wood of prices having “leveled off.”

The only commentator I’ve found still willing to join me in predictions is perennial Seattle Bubble favorite Steve Tytler. Here’s his piece: Forecast for 2010 housing market: slow decline

I think average home prices will continue to drop a little, but the pace of depreciation will continue to slow. Overall, average home prices may fall about 5 percent, but as always the rate of depreciation will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. In general, highly desirable neighborhoods, especially those close to major job centers, will do better than outlying areas.

Will we hit the housing market bottom in 2010? Maybe. You can only know for sure that a market has bottomed in retrospect when you can look back at housing prices on a graph and see the point where they stopped going down and started going up and stayed up. We may very well hit that point some time next year, probably late spring or summer.

Kudos to Steve for still being willing to stick his neck out there.

The Tim on 2010
So finally we get to my predictions for the coming year. Keeping in mind that unknown future government meddling will probably throw off any guesses I make today, my outlook for 2010 is pretty similar to what I saw for 2009. I don’t think Seattle home prices have bottomed yet. If allowed to adjust to market fundamentals, they’ve probably got at least another 10% to fall, maybe a bit more. I would expect most of that to come this year.

Barring any additional free money giveaways, sales will probably show YOY gains during the first part of the year, and be more or less flat for the second half. I suspect that interest rates will rise, possibly up into the sixes, which when combined with the borrowed sales thanks to the tax credit, will end up supressing sales as the year winds down. Inventory will probably be flat to down slightly.

There you have it, The Tim on record for 2010. Now lets’ hear your predictions in the comments, as well as in this poll:

Stock Market Crash Historical Comparison Update

The Tim — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:47:34 +0000

I thought it would be interesting to post an update on the stock market crash graph that I first posted back in October.

In the chart below I have graphed the crashes of 1929, 1973, 1987, and 2001 alongside the current fall, with the peak points aligned near the left. Each crash is scaled on the y-axis to show the percent of the peak Dow Jones price.

464 days into the crash, the current plunge still ranks second only to 1929. Back in October, we did drop for a brief time to a point lower than the lowest point on the green ’70s graph (45.1% off-peak), but we currently appear to be in a bit of a holding pattern at about 40% off peak.

On a related topic, I spotted this article from late last month that amused me: Market predictions proved to be tricky business

At a small, private event at the Metropolitan Grill in January, nine of the region’s brightest and most respected financial advisers gathered to sip fine wine, eat prime beef and forecast the financial future.

The date was Jan. 10. The Dow Jones industrial average was 12,853. And Washington Mutual was a pillar of the Seattle business scene.

With a quarter-century of such gatherings, the “Guess the Dow” luncheon at the Met has become an annual fat-cat Seattle tradition.
…
Consensus was that Starbucks Corp., Nordstrom Inc. and Microsoft Corp. stocks all would rise, the Dow would close above 14,000 and Hillary Clinton would be president.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Definitely not. And wrong.

This year’s “Guess the Dow” luncheon ~~is today~~ was yesterday. I haven’t heard what their predictions are for 2009, but I ~~have a contact that is attending and will ask him this afternoon~~ will try to find out. Let’s see if the Seattle Bubble readership can collectively beat the “region’s brightest and most respected financial advisers.”

Predictions: 2008 in the Bag, 2009 on the Horizon

The Tim — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:30:59 +0000

Looking back at 2008
And now it’s the post we’ve all been waiting for (and by “we” I mean probably just me). Time to see which real estate “professionals” made housing market predictions that match closest with reality, which ones were more in line with the former Iraqi Information Minister, and what they’re all guessing for the coming year.

A year ago we rounded up 2008’s predictions into a single post: Predictions: 2007 Revisited, 2008 Prognosticated. As with last year, I’ll provide a list of the contenders, and a handly table for comparing our predictions with the reality of 2008. You can go back to the post to see the full context of all of the predictions.

The Contenders:

Glenn Crellin, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research
Matthew Gardner, local land-use economist
Steve Tytler, Everett Herald Real Estate Columnist / owner, Best Mortgage
Dick Conway, co-author of The Puget Sound Economic Forecaster / local economist
Tim Ellis, editor-in-chief, Seattle Bubble

	Crellin	Gardner	Tytler	Conway	Ellis	King Co. SFH
Prices:	“a little”	-5% to 0%	-20% to -10%	<1%	-10% to -5%	-7.24%

This year, the prize for the prediction closest to reality goes to… defending champion Tim Ellis of Seattle Bubble! Yet again, the total price change fell almost exactly in the middle of my range prediction.

To be fair, we are using King County SFH data as our sample set (as is standard practice on this site), while selecting different data sets makes some of the other predictions look better. For example, Steve Tytler forecast a ten to twenty percent drop for “the Puget Sound region.” If we look at all Puget Sound counties, the smallest drop was in Skagit, where prices fell 3.3%, and the largest drop was in Jefferson, where prices took a 23.6% plunge. However, that still leaves three counties (Skagit, King, and Jefferson) that were outside Steve’s range (four if we count San Juan County, where December’s median was down 45.6% from 2007, but based on just 9 sales).

On inventory, I predicted “year-over-year increases between 10% and 25% throughout much of the year.” Year-over-year inventory increases did not drop below 10% until September, so that looks like another win. My prediction on sales volume was arguably too optimistic, as I guessed they would drop “at least 5% to 15%.” Here in King County, total pending sales for the year were down 25%, while closed sales dropped 33%.

What’s ahead for 2009?
With 2008 out of the way, let’s look forward to 2009. Here’s a summary of all the predictions I was able to locate from local “professionals.”

Matthew Gardner:

Going forward, Gardner says, “we’ll be in a V-shaped year on prices.”

“The first half of the year we’ll continue to see declines,” he says. “The second half of the year we’ll start seeing a bit of an upward trend.”

In all, Gardner says, he wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle-area housing prices remain essentially flat — something that would actually be good news in some parts of the country.

Gardner qualifies his prediction in his quotes to the P-I:

Matthew Gardner, a Seattle land-use economist, said he expects prices to level off next summer, “if we see economic stimulus and further retraction in interest rates.”

Steve Tytler:

There is a fairly predictable 7- to 10-year real estate cycle and we are in the “down” part of that cycle. What makes the current cycle different is that we are entering what may turn out to be the worst national recession since the Great Depression. Now, I know that phrase is grossly overused. It seems that every few years some politician claims that the economy is the worst since the Great Depression, but this time I think it’s actually true.
…
I think that overall home prices will fall an average of 5 to 10 percent next year, but the depreciation rate will vary dramatically from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood, just as we’ve seen wide variations this year.

J. Lennox Scott:

Scott thinks entry-level house prices (basically $500,000 and under in Seattle) have stabilized, so there may be no advantage to waiting.

In the mid- and upper-price ranges, “some people are waiting to see what’s happening,” Scott says, but even if those prices continue to decline, owners who sell at a reduced price also are likely to buy at a reduced price, so it’s a wash.

Looking forward, he is hopeful that the Obama administration will quickly pass a stimulus plan that will give the economy, and home sales, a boost.

More from Scott in a blog post by Aubrey Cohen:

But 2009 will be a year of “new beginnings,” Scott said. “It will also be a year of transition for the housing market, which will begin rebuilding itself starting with the more affordable price ranges.”

Unfortunately, those are the only firm predictions I could find from local “professionals.” Maybe they’re just trying to save themselves the embarrassment of being wrong yet again.

The Tim’s Predictions
My guess is that inventory in 2009 will be flat to slightly down from 2008 for most of the year. I am betting that the double-digit YOY drops in sales will not last beyond the first or second quarter, but will eventually flatten out and maybe even show YOY gains. My sales prediction is based largely on an assumption that home prices will continue to fall as well, eventually coming down to a level that is able to attract more buyers. This is what has happened in California over the last year, and I expect the trend will eventually make its way up north.

As far as a specific prediction on prices, my guess is about another 10 percent drop in 2009, which would put December 2009’s median at $363,150. My guess is that we may hit the end of the big price drops in 2010, then bob along on the bottom for a few years after that.

So there it is, your regularly scheduled doom and gloom. As always, what really happens is going to depend largely on a plethora of external factors that could go either way. Despite what so many people tried so hard to believe during the boom, Seattle is not encased in a giant glass bubble. Will Obama come riding in on a unicorn and magically save the economy? Will Boeing or Microsoft lay off tens of thousands? Does China decide to call their debts to America? Major issues like these will have big effects on our housing markets in 2009, and I’m sure whatever happens, we’ll be looking back a year from now in amazement.

What are your predictions? Let’s hammer this out in the comments. Also, here’s a poll:

Introducing Seattle Bubble Polls

The Tim — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 22:10:59 +0000

Remember back in the dark ages, when Seattle Bubble was chained down to Blogger, and therefore didn’t have any way to add cool things like sidebar inventory trackers and built-in polls? Despite these archaic limitations, way back in August of last year, we managed to squeak out a poll. Lots of things have happened since that poll, not the least of which is that the readership of this site has more than doubled. Last year’s poll was fun and interesting, but thanks to Blogger’s lack of features it was just a one-time deal.

Well my friends, welcome to the future. Behold! I give you ongoing polls in the left sidebar!

Ideally I’ll run one poll per week, Sunday through Saturday. If you have any suggestions for future polls, or problems with the functionality of the polls, email me at ‘The_Tim’ ‘at’ ‘seattlebubble’ ‘dot’ ‘com’. You can also leave comments on the individual poll posts, which will be posted at the time of the poll.

Happy polling!
