Home Prices Didn’t Crash After All

During the fourth quarter of last year, many housing experts predicted home prices were going to crash this year.

Here are a few of those forecasts:

Jeremy Siegel, Russell E. Palmer Professor Emeritus of Finance at the Wharton School of Business:

“I expect housing prices fall 10% to 15%, and the housing prices are accelerating on the downside.”

Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics:

“Buckle in. Assuming rates remain near their current 6.5% and the economy skirts recession, then national house prices will fall almost 10% peak-to-trough. Most of those declines will happen sooner rather than later. And house prices will fall 20% if there is a typical recession.” 

Goldman Sachs: 

“Housing is already cooling in the U.S., according to July data that was reported last week. As interest rates climb steadily higher, Goldman Sachs Research’s G-10 home price model suggests home prices will decline by around 5% to 10% from the peak in the U.S. . . . Economists at Goldman Sachs Research say there are risks that housing markets could decline more than their model suggests.”

The Bad News: It Rattled Consumer Confidence

These forecasts put doubt in the minds of many consumers about the strength of the residential real estate market. Evidence of this can be seen in the December Consumer Confidence Survey from Fannie Mae. It showed a larger percentage of Americans believed home prices would fall over the next 12 months than in any other December in the history of the survey (see graph below). That caused people to hesitate about their homebuying or selling plans as we entered the new year.

The Good News: Home Prices Never Crashed

However, home prices didn’t come crashing down and seem to be already rebounding from the minimal depreciation experienced over the last several months. 

In a report just released, Goldman Sachs explained:

“The global housing market seems to be stabilizing faster than expected despite months of rising mortgage rates, according to Goldman Sachs Research. House prices are defying expectations and are rising in major economies such as the U.S.,. . . ”

Those claims from Goldman Sachs were verified by the release last week of two indexes on home prices: Case-Shiller and the FHFA. Here are the numbers each reported:

Home values seem to have turned the corner and are headed back up.

Bottom Line

The housing market is much stronger than many think. To get a true evaluation of your local market, reach out to a trusted real estate professional.

5 Tips for Creating a Cute, Cozy, Kid-Friendly Play Area

If you have little ones in your house, you know that — while they’re adorable — they’re not always the neatest.

Between crayon marks on walls and toys all over the carpet, it’s tough to hit the right balance between wanting your kids to have fun and wanting your house to look its best. But it’s possible!

Creating a dedicated play area in your living room can be a great way to corral the fun without compromising your design style. That’s what Samantha recently did in the Los Angeles home she shares with her husband and two children. She used online-only, reasonably priced, on-trend furniture and home decor from The Home Depot to carve out a child-friendly zone in a room that also hosts friends, fosters family time, and so much more. Here’s how she did it.

1. Take Advantage of Natural Light

Samantha set up the play area by a large window so that the kids could play in the sun, even inside. She also used decorative tricks like strategically placed wall mirrors to amp up the brightness. “They love seeing themselves in all the mirrors!” she says.

2. Upgrade Your Organizational Game

In a space where everything is in full view, aesthetically pleasing storage makes a huge difference. Samantha used an assortment of woven baskets for toys as well as living room essentials like throw blankets. They’re open, so little hands can reach inside easily, and the poms-poms add a playful touch!

3. Embrace Stealth Storage

Buffets are one of our favorite pieces of furniture: They’re usually associated with dining rooms but versatile enough for any space, and when it comes to storage, they mean business. Samantha chose a farmhouse-style console (it’s actually a TV stand!) to keep books, puzzles, and other toys organized and out of sight, but still within reach.

4. Make Your Area Rug Extra Cozy

Since so much playing happens directly on the floor, make sure yours is as soft as possible. Samantha laid down this fluffy sheepskin rug for maximum comfort during playtime. Keep cushy throw pillows nearby, too.

5. Add a Rocking Chair for Yourself

Yes to more comfortable quality time! Samantha completed the play area with a modern twist on a rocking chair that looks sophisticated and helps her get in on the family fun. Snuggle in for rainy day story time or rock the baby while your older kids play — you’ll be glad you have a seat close to the action. Now, Samantha says, “The kids love the whole space! The play nook is super cozy and fun.”
