Rent Growth: Tenants Pay More to Live Near Their Favorite Grocery Store Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

The presence of a Whole Foods on the ground level of an apartment building provides a big bump in rental rates for landlords. There's a new study that shows renters will pay a premium to live so close to a high-end grocery store. The so-called "premium grocer effect" also applies to single-family neighborhoods with an impact on home prices and equity, if there's a favorite grocery store nearby. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Housing Market: Existing Home Deficit Fuels New Build Market Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

Existing home inventory is down. It's gotten much worse since the start of the pandemic. Realtor.com says there are almost 400,000 fewer homes on the MLS than there were at the same time last year. The lack of inventory is pushing home prices higher, and reducing the number of days it takes to sell a home. That's pushing many homebuyers and investors into the new home market. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Job Market: Pay Cuts Could Influence Remote Worker Moves Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

The pandemic has turned many office employees into remote workers, and for some, that could mean the freedom to move to a new, less expensive location. Some businesses are even encouraging employees to move, with a bonus. But there is a catch. Employees who move to a place with a lower cost of living, may also get a pay cut, and that's not sitting well with some of them. Payment processing company Stripe is one company that is encouraging employees to move. It has offices in 16 cities around the globe and almost 3,000 employees. It's giving $20,000 to employees who move from some of the bigger cities like San Francisco, New York, and Seattle, but is also telling them they'll get a 10% pay cut. The pay cut will correspond to a lower cost of living in the city they move to. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate News Brief: GDP Forecast Rises, Young Adults Move Home, Detroit Rental Market "Wacky" (in a good way) Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending September 19th, 2020... the Federal Reserve offers an improved 2020 forecast for U.S. economic growth, empty nesters are getting their adult kids back, and the Detroit rental market has gotten "wacky." We begin with economic news from this past week, and an update on economic policy from the Federal Reserve. The Fed said in a statement it expects to keep short-term bank rates near zero until the end of 2023, and that inflation would have to rise above 2% for "some time" before rates are increased. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Single-Family Rentals: Pandemic Rent Growth Slide Stabilizes Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

A decline in rent growth for single-family homes brought on by the pandemic appears to have stabilized. The CoreLogic Single-Family Rent Index shows that it moved higher in July at a year-over-year rate of 1.7%. It had sunk to 1.4% in June. While that's good for the nation, metros vary and some have more catching up to do than others. The pandemic swept across the country in February, forcing businesses to close and leaving a huge number of people unemployed. Many single-family landlords lowered their rents to keep tenants in place. That brought a steady rate of rental increases in the SFR marketplace to a much lower level. According to data from CoreLogic, they were rising at an average of 2.9% during the first quarter of the year. From there, they slide to 1.7% in May and then 1.4% in June. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate: Delinquencies Spike, Hint at New Foreclosure Crisis Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

There was a slight uptick in foreclosure filings in the U.S. as the pandemic continues and an agreement on a new stimulus to help ailing homeowners has stalled. Real estate data firm CoreLogic released a report that shows serious delinquencies spiked in June. Without government assistance or major job market improvement by the end of the year, those delinquencies could turn into foreclosures. The CoreLogic report shows that 2.9% percent of U.S. home loans were overdue by 90 to 119 days in June. That's the highest they've been in 21 years, according to CoreLogic's chief economist Frank Nothaft. He says: "If there are new government programs, maybe that alleviates some of the risks, but given what we know today, we could be looking at a serious delinquency rate that is four times higher at the end of 2021 than it was before the start of the pandemic." www.NewsForInvestors.com

Eviction Ban: Short-Term Band-Aid, Long-Term Disaster Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

A national eviction ban is now in place that protects tenants for the rest of the year without offering any help for landlords. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it as an emergency health measure to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. But it does little to solve the problem of unpaid rent for landlords, who have bills to pay, or tenants, who face a giant balloon payment when the moratorium expires. The CDC order went into effect on September 4th and runs through December 31st. That gives tenants a four-month reprieve from their rent obligations, if they don't have the means to pay. Local eviction bans that provide equal or greater protection for tenants take precedence, so properties already covered by a COVID-19 eviction ban, are likely exempt from the national ban. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate: Surge in Eviction Filings Despite National Ban Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Corporate landlords are defying the federal eviction ban with a surge in new filings. According to one report, institutional landlords filed more than 900 eviction cases in eight metro areas during the week after the ban was announced. The ban attempts to protect tenants who can't pay their rent because of the pandemic, but the moratorium is not preventing landlords from challenging tenant claims about their finances. The Private Equity Stakeholder Project was already tracking evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic before the CDC announced a national moratorium on evictions, and that in early August, the big landlords had only filed 165 eviction claims. The organization attempts to connect investors with the people and communities that are impacted by private equity investments. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate News Brief: Best-Ever Mortgage Rates, September Rent Collection, Housing Market "Sugar High" Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending September 12th, 2020... mortgage rates dipped into record territory once again, apartment rent collection numbers, and a housing market that is on a "sugar high." We begin with economic news from this past week, and a mixed report on the job market. The number of people applying for jobless benefits rose slightly this last week. Continuing claims were also slightly higher than they were the week before. But, the government reported a 1.4 million increase in newly created jobs, and an unemployment rate that fell from 10.2% to 8.4%. www.NewsForInvestors.com
