Homeowners' Perception of Value - Outpacing Market?

Sunday, September 6, 2015
by Christie Cannon

For the 6th month in a row, the gap between how homeowner & appraiser view value has widened according to Quicken Loan's Home Price Perception Index.


According to Quicken's Chief Economist Bob Walters: "Many homeowners around the country are seeing the national headlines about home value increases and they are optimistic about their equity increasing. While some areas are seeing the same level of home appreciation, or even more, there are also some areas that have slower home value increases. This can lead to homeowners and appraisers not quite seeing eye-to-eye.”

Even a few months ago we were seeing appraisal issues affect pending home sales. As Walters explains, this is in part due greater balance returning to home value appreciation. "Many homeowners around the country are seeing the national headlines about home value increases and they are optimistic about their equity increasing," said Quicken Loans Chief Economist Bob Walters. "While some areas are seeing the same level of home appreciation, or even more, there are also some areas that have slower home value increases. This can lead to homeowners and appraisers not quite seeing eye-to-eye."

BOTTOM LINE

In North TX, while home owners continue to enjoy record appreciation, real estate pros & home owners must remain cognizant of the subtle shifts in appreciation rates that are often masked in the market's excitement. Likewise, agents & owners truely need to be prepared to sell every home twice!

Best Places to Buy in 2015

Monday, May 11, 2015
by Christie Cannon

SelfStorage.com's blog posted their 12 best places to move to in 2015 & Texas takes 4 of the 12 top spots!  

So how did the Lonestar state fair:

1. AUSTIN, TX

The capital of Texas boasts the highest long-term job growth and the second-highest economic growth numbers among the Top 12. It also has the second-highest share of recent construction. Yet homes remain affordable, with median prices slightly higher than three times median incomes. The only drawback? Real estate taxes, which are higher in Austin than anywhere else in the Top 12.

2. HOUSTON, TX

Four of the Top 12 spots belong to metro areas in Texas, and Houston actually outperforms Austin in many ways: cost premiums are lower, prices recently have increased more and real estate taxes are lower. However, there’s less recent construction in Houston, and economic growth — while healthy — is slower than in Austin.

5. SAN ANTONIO, TX

Like its Texas compatriots on our list, San Antonio scores well across the board and offers buyers a low cost premium combined with attractive recent price increases. Real estate taxes per capita are lower here than in the other Texas cities, too.

6. DALLAS, TX

Dallas’ economic numbers are essentially the same as San Antonio’s. However, Dallas’ recent price increases and real estate taxes are higher, and the cost premium is slightly higher here than in San Antonio.
