Download or read book Market Making in the Residential Real Estate Market written by Curtis G. Tenney and published by . This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigates using a market maker mechanism in the 1998 Northern Virginia residential real estate market. Market maker functions are defined and described as they have been characterized in the literature. The benefits of having market makers range from shortening trading time and reducing transaction costs to transmitting information quicker and cheaper and reducing total selling costs and equilibrium prices. The market maker assumes risk from the seller and provides future liquidity to buyers. Real estate agents are not true market makers since they do not fulfill most market maker functions. Ideas from many authors are used to describe theoretical models of the existing and alternative market structures. Almost all sellers currently list their homes with a realtor using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), indicating that trying to sell their home on their own or becoming a landlord are unattractive options. Although for buyers there is very little difference, market makers make a big difference for sellers. Since sales to a market maker are immediate, there is no need to discount expected future revenues. The data for this study comes from the 1998 Northern Virginia MLS sales database. After the theoretical models are reduced using some basic assumptions about the real world market, regression analysis is used to estimate sales prices. Sales timing data is used to compute the probabilities of selling a home as well as the revenues and costs of the market maker. The final results are shown for several different assumed discount rates.

Download or read book Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom written by David Lereah and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2005-02-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? author David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, asks. We are experiencing a historic wealth-building opportunity. To ensure that your don’t miss out, Lereah provides the tools, information, and analysis you need to become a savvy real estate investor. And he shows how to integrate real estate into your overall investment strategies and financial planning goals. Among the information you’ll find in the book: How to become a master at dealing with real estate agents, brokers, and lenders. Which home improvements will result in the greatest long-term gains. How to identify the vacation homes and regions that will increase the most in value. How to finance a first-time home—with or without a big down payment. Why will the real estate boom continue into the next decade? Low interest rates are part of the story. Although mortgage rates have notched up slightly over the last year, they still remain historically very low. Technological advances from online real estate listings to automated underwriting to an explosion of financing options have reduced home ownership costs and simplified the process of buying and selling. Continued high demand from baby-boomers buying larger homes, second homes, and retirement homes, and a new wave of immigrants and “echo” boomers buying first homes, ensure that the boom will continue into the next decade. The long-term fundamentals for housing remain strong into the foreseeable future, claims Lereah. Far from a real estate “bubble,” what we are experiencing today is a phenomenon that takes place only once every other generation: a long-term real estate market expansion. Isn’t it time you started taking advantage of it today? Are you missing the real estate boom? Can you increase your wealth from it? For most people—including current homeowners—the answer is a resounding yes. But it’s not too late to increase your stake in the greatest real estate boom of our generation. Whether you are a first-time buyer or already own your home, Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? will show you how you can dramatically increase your overall wealth. Author David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, shows why the real estate market is poised to climb higher over the next decade—and explains what you can do to profit from it. Lereah calls today’s market a “once-in-every-other generation opportunity.” Today's boom is not just driven by low interest rates—there are a host of demographic and economic reasons why real estate will continue to outpace other investments, from the growing needs of the baby-boomer generation and the rise of the “echo” boomer generation to the new ways real estate is marketed and sold. Are you a first-time buyer? A current homeowner considering whether or not to trade up? There has never been a better time to do so, Lereah convincingly claims. In Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom?, Lereah explains what to look for when you’re buying a home; which improvements add the most value to your current home; what to consider when purchasing rental properties; how to evaluate real estate investment trusts (or REITs); and the pros and cons of second homes. Full of detailed information on how to work with a real estate agent and a mortgage lender, how to analyze local markets and regional fluctuations, and how to best finance your investment, Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? offers readers the seasoned advice they need to invest with confidence and reap outsized rewards.
