Vancouver BC Real Estate Market Roller Coaster

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:17:15 +0000

*PLEASE RATE THIS VIDEO & COMMENT* This is a roller coaster simulation of the last 35 years of the Vancouver Real Estate market. The actual graph you’re riding is the inflation adjusted value of a house in Vancouver BC based on data collected by Royal LePage and calculated by the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate. Some of the peaks and troughs have been rounded to keep the train from flying off the tracks, but other than that slight modification it is a precise scale model of the red line on this graph:

Recent talk of a Canadian housing bubble calls for a look at the history of our bubbliest city: Vancouver BC. When the housing bubble of the early eighties popped in this city some house prices dropped by 50% over the next couple of years and didn’t reach their inflation adjusted real price again for 25 years. What would a real estate market bust look like these days?

This Month In Real Estate (US): December 2009

admin — Sun, 02 May 2010 11:08:11 +0000

Hello and welcome to This Month in Real Estate. Im Jay Papasan.

The First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit has been extended and expanded, and the details can be found in our most recent special edition.

For December, we take a look at the results the incentive had on stimulating home sales since 2008.

According to the IRS, about 1.4 million people have taken advantage of the first time homebuyer tax credit.

Not surprisingly, California ranks number one with the number of people filing a claim for the tax credit, while Alaska and Wyoming are among the states with the fewest number of claims.

But those numbers dont tell the whole story. For more, we go to Bryon Ellington. Bryon?
Bryon: Thanks, Jay.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, every state in the Union has participated in the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.

If we look at the results according to the total number of claims, heres how the rankings shake out:

California is number one with more than 160 thousand tax payers taking advantage of the first time home buyer tax credit.

Texas is number two with over 131 thousand.

And Florida is number three with over 105 thousand.

But when we look at the data in terms of per capita claims, or the percentage of folks in each state who took advantage of the tax credit, we get radically different results.

Heres a look at the top three in terms of per capita participation in the tax credit

Nevada is in the number one position with more than 20 thousand claims out of a population of 2.6 million.

Utah is in the number two position with over 17 thousand claims out of a population of 2.7 million.

And Arizona is in the third position with over 38 thousand claims out of a population of 6.5 million.

Whats more, we find Alaska moving from near the bottom of the rankings to number 26 above California! And Wyoming, the least populated state in the U.S., moves to number 16. Thats just a bit behind Texas in terms of per capita tax payer participation.

Back to you, Jay

Jay: Thanks, Bryon. Thats it for This Month in Real Estate. Thank you for joining us.
