If you turn on the TV, listen to the radio, or even surf the
internet, you will
notice that there is a lot of many people
talking about the "Real Estate Bubble", and asking the
question, "when is it going to burst?" They (these so-called
experts) have been proverb
for years that the real estate
advertise can not
continue this type of growth. These "experts"
remind me of chicken little, with all of their prosphesy of
doom and gloom, and the "sky is falling" syndrome. The truth
is there has never been a real estate bubble in the past, or
presently, and there will certainly never be one in the
future. Talk about there being a "real estate bubble" is the
stuff that urban legends are made of.
Heres the readers digest version of what it all means. The
real estate advertise is really, a "wave". Its cyclical, and
we are riding on a big wave right now. Real Estate is just
like Investing in the stock market, There are grand years
when values rise and there are decades
that are better, when
values rise even higher. Thats it, in a nutshell. Real
estate has gone up and down throughout history, and
commonly speaking, it is fairly stable. When you look at a
graph of real estate values, you would be able to see a
clear pattern of increasing values. Now some months would
have higher peaks than others, and all in all, it is a
gradual building slope from left to right. And it looks just
like a wave.
In addition, there are more up cycles, than down cycles. So
the recent growth weve had will be followed by ones of
downturn. The only difference is that it may not be as much
of an increase, in other words the increase will be slower.
The bottom line is, it will still be growth. This is why
there will always be growth. Real Estate is a basic positive need
.
People positive need
a roof over their heads. You may rest assured
that many people
will be renting, buying, leasing, and selling
homes. And it doesnt matter if the advertise is low or high or
if the interest rates are up or down. Real Estate is a sure
thing!
Remember Real Estate cycles tend to be regionally based.
Real Estate is always driven by the economic principles of
supply and demand. Some areas of the country, like
Seattle, are going gangbusters, and real estate values are
going sky high, and other areas like parts of the northeast
are not increasing by the same percentage. However almost
all areas are going up in assessment of worth
. Historically, property
values increase in a strong job sell
. Other factors
to consider include; program funding, interest rates,
population growth, climate, and user-friendly state and
local governments, including school system changes. These
are critical points to consider when investing in real
estate, either as a landlord or for personal use.
The key to successful real estate investing is to understand
what drives the market. Stay on top of what is going on in
your advertise place. Research the internet, read articles, get
involved with your community. One other key to staying at
the top of your game is to get a mentor or coach to help you
succeed in your real estate investing career. If coaching is
nice
enough for sports figures like Tiger Woods, why not
you?
To sum it up, Real Estate bubbles dont exist, but there is
a real estate wave. As any surfer knows, if you want to
ride the waves, you need to get in the water. Watching the
action might
be fun, but will it put any money in your pocket?
Invest with the intention of making available
a service for others,
and you can become rich investing in Real Estate.
