(b) Fixing real estate property prices on the date of sale

The Notice pointed out that the supervision for rental housing and real estate prices should be strengthened.

Lower house prices throughout Europe are thus likely to be accompanied by weaker consumption demand, as in the US. In Germany, for example, house prices have remained relatively low and consumption weak.

In recent years there has been a significant decrease in real estate and rental values and construction costs have stabilized.

By contrast, in France and Italy, where house prices have increased almost as much as in the US, there is no evidence of a housing overhang. The negative impact of a downturn in housing prices in these two countries should thus be limited to a drop in consumption.

BEIJING China s real estate sector has been a source of serious concern for several years, with soaring property prices raising fears of overheating in the housing market. But, with price growth easing, it seems that the government s campaign to rein in property risk is finally taking hold.

Third, the relentless exploitation of resources has caused the prices of energy and raw materials to increase rapidly. Fourth, feverish real estate development throughout China continues to propel land prices to new heights.

Unemployment up. Housing values down. Equity markets down.

Such a large overshooting is likely to be followed by some undershooting. This would imply that prices will probably have to fall at least by 20 30 , but possibly considerably more before they find a bottom.

A real estate price crash has also been a key cause of emerging market crises, such as the 1997 98 Asian collapse. Research shows that lost output during recessions accompanied by a housing bust is double or triple what it might otherwise have been had real estate prices held up.

Given that property prices are unlikely to fall by such a large margin, the bubble s collapse would not bring down China s banks. Even if real estate prices fell by more than 50 , commercial banks could survive not least because mortgages account for only about 20 of banks total assets.

After all, small enterprises rely on collateral based lending, and the value of real estate the main form of collateral is still down one third from its pre crisis level. Moreover, given the magnitude of excess capacity in real estate, lower interest rates will do little to revive real estate prices, much less inflate another consumption bubble.

Because data for the euro area will become available only much later, it is not yet possible to determine whether prices have already turned on the Continent as well. But if the past pattern holds, house prices should start to fall very soon in (continental) Europe as well.

I asked this question of recent homebuyers on the theory that fear of job loss might help explain the remarkable boom in home prices in the US (as well as many other advanced countries). After all, people who fear losing their jobs may seek greater economic security by investing in real property in their own wealthy country, bidding up prices in the process.

Take away land speculation, price of land drops.

According to the Coldwell Banker Home Price Comparison Index, which compares the price of a standard 2,200 square foot four bedroom house across cities, the most expensive city in the US is Beverly Hills (the legendary home of movie stars). The standard home there is 4.25 times as expensive as one in an average city in the US.

The standard home there is 4.25 times as expensive as one in an average city in the US. Assuming that quadrupling of relative value occurred over a hundred years, the excess return on investment amounts to only 1.5 per year hardly the kind of performance that real estate enthusiasts are expecting.

The local producer prices are the prices that are received by the farmers and do not include market and transportation costs.

The Price of Land and Houses falls

Over the last three decades, prices in the US and Europe have tended to follow three slow moving, related boom bust cycles. All previous peaks were followed by several years of declining prices (in real terms).

Are Housing Prices a House of Cards?

Indeed, with a few exceptions (essentially Germany and Japan), housing prices have risen almost everywhere to levels never seen before. How could such a global pattern emerge when real estate is the most local of all assets?

The impact of a sharp decline in real estate prices would be far reaching. After all, property collateral is the bedrock of the Chinese financial system, with estimates of banks direct and indirect exposure to real estate ranging from 66 to 89 of GDP.

House price to income ratio, 1992 3.1

The new homes were being offered at what appeared to be bargain prices compared to other parts of the country.

In the recent past, the prices of these products have increased faster than steel prices.

The appropriate prices to be used for this purpose should be the local prices that would have been paid to the farmers if the lost crops had been produced.

The relatively low level of real house prices may also have had a curbing effect on consumption.

An estimated 13 per cent of new build London properties are bought by non UK residents, driving up prices and making it harder for first time buyers to get a foot on the housing ladder.

Securities prices are extraordinarily high, considering the backdrop of flaccid economic growth. Bond prices have soared on the back of quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank.

The government was too generous in helping revive real estate demand, and, overwhelmed by fear of the negative impact of falling asset prices on economic growth, has been too cautious in dealing with bubbles when they have reappeared. With the housing sector accounting for 10 of GDP and investment in real estate development accounting for 25 of total fixed investment, any decision to rein in runaway housing prices will be difficult.

In part, the size will depend on how much home prices fall amp 45 amp 45 10 ? 20 ? Moreover, it is hard to price losses on exotic instruments that are illiquid (i.e. do not have a market price).

In practice, under Act LXXVIII of 1993, current tenants of State owned property can buy their apartment home from the local authority for less than half the current unencumbered freehold value of the property.

Currently, since property prices in the UK are falling and outflow of capital starts occurring, keeping domestic economy and market system stable has been the top priority of the UK's new government.
