Talk:Real estate economics

message: Is this the page where we should encyclopedically summarize the economic theory aspects of disintermediation in the Real Estate industry?  I would think so, and am somewhat surprised to find nothing of the phenomeon already in the article.  Or is it elsewhere in Wikipedia?  Do any of the economists who read this have new/recently published articles on the trend?  N2e 23:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I just reinstuted a link from the See also section to the article Short sale (real estate), which had been reverted by an editor, assumed with good intent.  No rationale for the previous reversion was offered.  If there is some reason I cannot see that this link should not be in the article, let's discuss it here on the talk page.

message: "Real estate economics is the application of economic techniques to real estate markets. It tries to describe, explain, and predict patterns of prices, supply, and demand". Does it succeed in explaining or predicting anything though? Astrology tries to make predictions too. Unless someone can come up with valid evidence that it actually predicts anything, I'm tempted to tag this as pseudoscience. I suspect many other economics articles could be treated the same way...
Ok, maybe I'm being a little pointy here, but the article does seem to make out human behaviour as governed by mathematical formulae. If there is WP:RS for that, I've not seen it. Perhaps someone could add real people to the equations somehow... AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Inter-languages link to Japanese page links to :ja:不動産金融 (= real estate financing) and it is not correspondent with "Real estate economics." If nobody has different opinion, I will delete the interlanguages link to "不動産金融 (ja)." --KurodaSho (talk) 06:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

message: An overview of real estate statistics news for one's San Francisco Bay Area real estate market for December 2010, reveals these trends and projections presented below – as reported by DataQuick.
Government-insured FHA loans, a well-known selection among first-time buyers, accounted for 23.7 percent of all houses invest in mortgages in December, down from 23.9 percent in November and 25.0 percent in December 2009.
Sales of higher-cost homes continue to suffer inside the credit shortage that struck three many years ago, making adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and “jumbo” loans far tougher to obtain.
In December, 9.1 percent of the Bay Area’s house obtain loans have been ARMs, down from a revised 9.9 percent in November and up from 7.9 percent a year ago. The Bay Area’s average monthly ARM rate more than the last decade is 53 percent. ARMs hit a low of 3.0 percent in January 2009.
Jumbo loans, mortgages more than the old conforming limit of $417,000, accounted for 31.3 percent of last month’s pay for lending, down from a revised 33.4 percent in November, and up from 29.9 percent in December 2009, along with a post-housing-boom low of 17.1 percent in January 2009. However, prior to the August 2007 credit rating crunch, jumbos accounted for practically 60 percent in the Bay Area obtain loan market.
Last month absentee consumers – mostly investors – purchased 18.7 percent of all Bay Area homes sold, compared with 17.0 percent in November and 17.9 percent a year ago. A review of the real estate statistics news shows the monthly average mainly because 1988 at 16.5 percent.
Buyers who appeared for getting paid all dollars – accounted for 24.3 percent of sales in December, compared with 25.0 percent in November, 23.6 percent a year ago, and an average of 11.5 percent going back to 1988, as the real estate statistics news show.
Home flipping trended lower in December, once 2.1 percent with the homes that sold over an open market had been bought and re-sold within a six-month period. That was down from a flipping rate of 2.7 percent in November and 2.3 percent a year earlier. Last month’s flipping rates varied from 0.8 percent in San Francisco to 2.9 percent in Contra Costa County – as shown in the real estate statistics news.
The normal monthly mortgage payment that Bay Area consumers committed themselves to pay last month was $1,558, up from $1,504 in November, and down from $1,619 a year ago. Adjusted for inflation, last month’s payment was 41.6 percent below the frequent payment in spring 1989, the peak with the prior real estate cycle. It was 56.9 percent below the modern cycle’s peak in July 2007.
Foreclosure physical exercise remains high by historical standards but below peak levels reached more than the last couple of years. Financing with multiple mortgages is low, down payment sizes are stable, and non-owner occupied buying is more than average, DataQuick reported during the latest real estate statistics news.https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/san-francisco-real-estate-market//  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snsaher12 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

message: in this section, there is a claim:
"...as the price of housing services increase, household size will tend also to increase."
Does this claim make sense? Basic economics dictates that as prices go up, demand falls, except if the commodity is a Verblen good, Giffen good or otherwise. It was tagged with a "Citation needed" template. I plan on removing it. TimothyforGod (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
