2010 Real Estate Market Investment Property Forecast

According to NAHB (National Association of Housing Builders), the good news is the upward direction of the economy.  However, the economy and real estate markets will continue to be performing below average. The housing starts will increase by 25% over last year and will almost be 700,000 units as compared to 555,000 total starts in 2009. The 700,000 housing starts are significantly below the annual average of 1.8 million housing starts.

Builders focused on single-family homes are doing better as their inventory levels are down to 1971 housing levels for a population that is 80% more. NAHB is forecasting only 600,000 single-family home starts in 2010 as compared to 440,000 housing starts in 2009. The average single-family home starts in a normal economy are 1.5 million.

But multi-family housing will stabilize at end of 2010 but the housing starts in multi-family will decline in 2010 to 87,000 as compared to 112,000 in 2009. The major challenges faced by builders are still the lack of availability of credit and high vacancy rates.
