Here are key findings!
- Out of 100 MSA, 52 MSA will see 10%+ property value decline. 6 MSA sees 20%+ decline.
- The biggest decline is expected in Central Valley and in Sounthern California.
- Famous bubble area such Las Vegas, Phoenix and key Metro in Florida also face 20%+ decline.
- While NYC area has resisted real estate decline, they begin to fact 15%+ decline in its suburbs.
- Real estate market in Pacific Northwest Cities such as Seattle and Portland has been steady. However, starting 2009, they face 10% / 15% decline respectively.
- McAllen Tx and New Orleans LA are only two MSA that shows property value apprecitions. Austin, my main investment market sees "very minor" decline at -1.9%.
I think this forecast is directionally correct. So, my advaice for those who are considering real estate investments in the MSA with 15%+ decline is "wait and see" for a while. I think it take at least 2-3 quarters to see the bottom of the market. Enjoy happy investing!!!!!!
