Recent National Real Estate Trends Show Encouraging Outlook for the Market as a Whole

Housing Recovery

 

Throughout 2015, there have been some very encouraging signs that the national real estate market continues improving, especially in terms of higher home prices. In addition, there are some additional national trends that show a continued recovery in the national real estate market, as well, and point to a positive outlook through the rest of 2015, and perhaps beyond. Recently, new data from Zillow shows that the share of underwater mortgage holders, who are those that more owe more than their homes are worth, has now dropped by more than half since peaking in early 2012, showing that only 14.4% of homeowners with a mortgage have negative equity as of the second quarter of 2015, as opposed to being at 31.4% in the first quarter of 2012. Along with this recent news, U.S. real estate was recently ranked #1 in the world by the influential Savills World Residential Investability Report, spurred on recent general economic growth and market recovery potential in the nation, as a whole. Lastly, new home sales in August 2015 surged by 5.7%, showing the strongest pace of growth in this category since February 2008. Very encouraging signs for the national real estate market, to be sure, and could bode well for the remainder of 2015.

 

With these encouraging national real estate trends, along with still historically-low interest rates, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you and your home ownership needs.
