Boris Mizhen Suggests Real Estate Boom in 2018

These predictions in real estate are backed by new data showing the unemployment rate dropping

New York, NY – April 14, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Real estate strategist Boris Mizhen has been following trends in the real estate market through New York City for decades and feels strongly about an uptick in growth and forward momentum in 2018. Top economists believe the past year was a year of caution as investors were hesitant to jump into a market without clear signs of positive growth. This year, the expectation is to expand consistently as real estate is strengthened by low mortgage interest rates and employment growth.

These predictions in real estate are backed by new data showing the unemployment rate dropping to the Federal Reserve’s target of 5 percent, down from a peak of 10 percent in 2009. More Americans are working today than at any point in the past six years, which means more people will be able to afford their first home, or upgrade to a new one. While observers have voiced concern that the recent hike in interest rates may raise issues in affordability, stagnate prices, and harm real estate, Boris Mizhen addressed the actions of central bankers as the direct result of a stronger economy in the first place. He also explains that the higher rates can act as a stimulus as well. “If there is an expectation that rates will increase in the future again, then existing homeowners are more likely to buy and sell before another surge.”

The rental market and home purchasing plans of millennials are also expected to improve the real estate industry. As the cost of renting continues to increase, housing looks more attractive, and it will push more Americans into home ownership. Mizhen notes that the price of renting is rising much faster than house prices. “In most of the United States, it is less expensive to buy than to rent today. There is an opportunity in the market to own for a monthly payment that is significantly less than the expenditure of renting.” An increasing number of adults in their 20s and early 30s want to purchase a home, with one-third of those anticipating to buy expecting to start looking in the next two years. Experts point out that in the past, this was an age group that was known for cautiously taking out lines of credit, partially because they didn’t want to repeat the debt mistakes of earlier generations. In 2011, 65 percent of millennials were interested in buying a home. Now, the number is up to 80 percent, signaling another upward trend for real estate.
