Single family housing production is poised to surge in
2015, as the economy picks up and a rise in home formations mixed with low
mortgage rates let loose pent-up insist in the sector, according to economists
talking during the National Association of Home Builders 2014 Fall building
estimate Webinar.
The single family sector is
likely to end out the year stronger than the start of 2014, which will set the
stage for a much more 2015.This is mostly due to important pent-up demand and steady job and economic growth that will let trade-up buyers who have late home
purchases due to job insecurity to enter the market.
NAHB is forecasting 991,000 whole housing starts in
2014, up 6.6 % from 930,000 units in 2013. Single family starts are expected to
rise 2.5 % this year and swell an additional 26 % next year to 802,000.
Single-family production is expected to reach the 1.1 million mark in 2016.
The multi family market is also expected to strong with
a continued growth in renters. The multi family sector is expected to rise 15 %
in 2014 to 356,000 units, and hold mostly steady into next year.At present, we are creating about
225,000 jobs per month, or 2.75 million per year. That is double the pace
needed to reduce being without a job and under employment, which augers very
well for housing demand and the housing market more
broadly.
The end of 2017, it is predicted that mortgage rates is said to rise
from current averages of about 4 % to about 6 %. The housing market will be
well because of better employment, senior wages and solid financial growth,
which will trump the effect of higher mortgage rates.
Thus economic
situation are dictating the strength of local housing markets, for forecasting and analysis. It is very clear that
those states with higher levels of payroll employment are associated with
healthier housing markets.
