Housing Recovery—Why Sustainable?Housing Starts Requirement
• 1.1 million household formation.• 0.3 million demolition and uninhabitable.
(Implicitly assumes depreciation rate of more than 200 years)
• 0.2 million net new vacation home demand. • Total New Housing Need = 1.6 million each
year.

Housing Recovery—Why Sustainable?Household Formation Accelerating After Great Recession
(in millions)

Housing Recovery—Why Sustainable?Quantifying Housing Shortage
(2001 to 2012)
Household Formation
Demolition New Vacation Home
Housing Starts
11.0 million 3.6 million 2.0 million 15.7 million
16.6 million 15.7 million
This housing shortage imbalance could grow because (1) Household Formation will exceed 1 million in 2013 and beyond(2) Housing Starts need to be 1.5 million per year … Not there in 2013

Housing Recovery—Why Sustainable?Existing vs. New Home Prices … Big Gap
(single-family homes)

Number of “Qualified” Renters(credit scores unknown and not factored)
Year Income Needed to Buy a Median Priced Home
Number of Renters with necessary income
Share of Renters Qualified
2000 $40,300 11.8 million 33%
2005 $50,400 9.0 million 24%
2012 $31,700 20.1 million 51%
If the year 2000 is considered as normal, then 11.8 million renters had the income to buy a median priced home but chose not to.
In 2012 there are about 8 million more renters with the necessary income but choosing not to be or are unable to be a homeowner.

Summary of Outlook: Where Are We Headed?
• Likely Multiyear Housing Recovery.– No Recession but Slow Economy.– Continued Job Growth and Household Formation. – Lagging Housing Starts and Continuing Housing
Shortage.• Home prices are primed to rise further, by 13%
cumulatively in 2013 and 2014.• Smooth Sailing Right Now—But Would be Better
with Increased Credit Availability and Job Creation.
• But There are Major Risks.

Risks to Forecast—Housing Related
• Upside Uncertainties … Credit Availability– Housing recovery so far even with tight credit– What happens if mortgage accessibility opens up?
• Downside … Washington Housing Policies– Rising g-fees and FHA insurance premiums– QRM 20% down payment requirement?– Basel 3 … capital rule that punishes private mortgage
with low down payment and commercial loans– Trim mortgage interest deduction?– Capital gains tax on home sale?

Downside Risk: Mortgage Investor Rights
–Court system clogging the foreclosure process
– Eminent Domain to take mortgages out of investors’ hands? (In order to restructure mortgages)

Downside Risk: Aging Baby Boomers (Live Births per 1000 population in U.S.)
![Page 29: Economic and Housing Market Trends and Outlook Jed Smith Managing Director, Quantitative Research NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS ® Real Estate Broker.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbe5503460f94ab0c99/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Downside Risk: Student College DebtImportant Issues: Are Colleges Effective, Are Expectations Realistic?

Community Leaders—Thought Leadership
• Thought Leadership: People Look to Leaders for Ideas on Important Topics.
• Short Term—Recovery is Proceeding Nicely.• Longer Term—There are Major Problems.• The “Longer Term” Could be a Year or Two.– Problems are not Certainties.– But Problems Need to be Addressed.– And Can Show Up as a Surprise.
![Page 32: Economic and Housing Market Trends and Outlook Jed Smith Managing Director, Quantitative Research NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS ® Real Estate Broker.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbe5503460f94ab0c99/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Major Economic Risks: Problems Not to be Ignored. For Now—Smooth Sailing. Longer Run—Avoid Surprises.
Problems: just ignored.• Budget Deficit.• Quantitative Easing.• Home Ownership Levels.• Entitlements: Social Security, Medical
Care, Disability, Social Welfare Programs.
• State/Local Government Finances.• Labor Force Issues.• Student Loans.• Generational Split.• Income Distribution.• Lack of Growth.• Regulation.• Divisive Rancor.
The iceberg: just ignored. • Photographed morning April 15, 1912…smear of red
paint along the base of the berg, indication that it had collided with a ship sometime in the previous twelve hours.
