Current Sentiment
in the Housing Market

 

          Market sentiment refers to the prevailing attitude of investors toward a particular asset class.

          It is largely driven by price movement and crowd psychology (fear and greed).

          Rising prices lead to bullish market sentiment – while falling prices lead to bearish market sentiment. 

          Currently, housing market bears are few and far between. 

          The reason is because the median sales price of a U.S. rose to an all-time high of $350,300 in May – up a whopping 23.6% from a year ago.

 

 

                      How to Prosper During Good Housing Markets and Bad

          Whether an investor is correctly bullish or bearish on the housing market, success breeds complacency – and complacency kills.

          The key to lasting prosperity is therefore adjusting to an ever-changing tomorrow.

                            Real Estate Tends to be a Leverage Investment

          Investing successfully is more about managing risk than it is about maximizing profits.

          While leverage and rising prices can lead to spectacular profits – leverage and falling prices can lead to equally spectacular losses.
