Flip Tip Transcript:
Mike Hambright: Hey, it’s Mike Hambright from flipnerd.com and we have a quick VIP Flip Tip to share with you from Chris Thornberg [SP], who’s going to share a tip on where we are in today’s real estate market. And, just a little preview here, there’s no bubble coming.
Chris Thornberg: I didn’t say that. But, that’s a good question. You know, I do a lot of talks today and I always get this question, “Are we already in another real estate bubble?” And the answer is, no. It is true that we’ve seen prices come up a lot. But, a couple of things to keep in mind: A, the economy isn’t over building housing at this point in time, and credit still remains relatively tight. These are underlying fundamentals that suggest what we’re seeing in terms of price increase today is not a market that’s getting extended, but rather a market that’s still in the process of recovery.
If you look at long term levels of affordability, believe it or not, the market today in 2014 is still relatively affordable compared to what it was over a decade ago. With this in mind, this housing market still has legs for at least the next couple of years by our count. And my argument would be, while we don’t see a bubble today, there almost will certainly be a bubble in the future. But you know, this time, make sure you sell before it pops.
Mike Hambright: There you go. Thanks, Chris. Great advice.
