A “Perfect Storm” is a once in a century occurrence of nonreplicable events resulting in a unique set of circumstances.
Why is this a real estate “Perfect Storm”?
• Unsustainably low rates in the 3% range. The Fed can’t continue to buy billions of dollars of treasuries forever!
• Low home prices and high rents equal great affordability index.
• Low inventory, in some areas .6 homes for two qualified buyers!
• 11,000+ shadow inventory properties or a 17 month supply ready to enter the market and compete with the 600 or so residential listings that sell each month.
• Mass California exodus
• Increase in NV jobs, no state income tax, business friendly environment
• Luxury home opportunities - $350/sq. ft. cost to build resells at  $150 per sq. ft.
• 20%+ appreciation year to date in median price parallels 2004 and 2005, a new “Bubble*”.
• More short sales and bank owned properties pending because  AB284  issues are being resolved, increasing notices of default and notices of sale
• Mortgage relief debt forgiveness act extended only to 12/31/2012
Who benefits from this “Perfect Storm”?
Buyers – benefit from low interest rates, 100% financing, first time home buyer programs, grants        and down payment assistance programs. Consider:
$180,000 loan amount @ 3.5% = $808.28/mo., principal and interest
$180,000 loan amount @ 4.5% = $912.00/mo., principal and interest
$203,200 loan amount @ 3.5% = $912.46/mo., principal and interest
Conventional Equity Sellers – benefit from increase in median price and low inventory before shadow inventory comes on market
Short Sellers - benefit from Mortgage Relief Debt Forgiveness through the end of this year, plus take advantage of up to $45,000 in lender paid relocation incentives.

*Bubble is also defined as a “Protected, isolated, or exempted area”.  It can be a good thing, if understood for what it is, how it works, and used it to its’ best advantage!
