2018 Housing Market Forecast Leslie Appleton-Young Chief Economist & Vice President
2017 Forecast Report Card SFH Resales (000s) % Change Median Price ($000s) 30-Yr FRM Housing Affordability Index U.S. Gross Domestic Product 2016 Actual 416.7 1.8% $502.3 5.4% 3.6% 31% 1.6% 2017 Forecast 413.0 1.4% $525.6 4.3% 4.0% 29% 2.2% 2017 Projected 421.9 1.3% $538.5 7.2% 4.0% 29% 2.1% The numbers in both “% change” in the “2017 Forecast” column were calculated based on 2016 projected figures, instead of the 2016 actual figures. Because the 2016 Actual sales and price are different from the 2016 projected sales and price, the “% changes” in the “2017 Forecast” column are into consisitent with those numbers. We appear to be right on for the 30-YR FRM between the forecast and the projected, but there is a bit of luck involved. If we were to do the forecast after the election, we would have predicted a higher interest rate instead.

Commercial Real Estate Outlook
Key Takeaways Office Job growth continues to fuel demand, but appears to be slowing down Firms’ decision to increase workplace density will continue to affect vacancy and rent growth Retail Demand for retail space continues to be affected by the growth of e-commerce (amazon Prime: 46% US households) Fundamentals “ok” for now, but developers concern about the future
Key Takeaways Industrial Demand for industrial space remains strong as online shopping continues to grow More supply is needed and developers are optimistic Multifamily Sustained job growth continues to fuel housing demand in the rental market Rent growth leveling off as more supply come on the market California could be overbuilding high-end multifamily housing, and might have saturated that segment of the market.
REALTORS® CRE U.S. Outlook As the economic underpinnings advance at a moderate pace, commercial fundamentals are expected to maintain an upward trajectory. With employment in business and professional services still driving growth, demand for offices should remain solid. The industrial sector continues to ride the tail winds of trade and e-commerce. Even as store closures have dampened the outlook for the retail sector, demand for space is likely to continue, driven by consumer spending and changing shopping patterns. Multifamily properties benefit from a double-dose of boost—rising household formation and a shortage of residential housing— which will keep vacancies in check, even with rising new supply.

Abundance of Uncertainty
In this fascinating book, New Yorker business columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea: Large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant—better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future. With boundless erudition and in delightfully clear prose, Surowiecki ranges across fields as diverse as popular culture, psychology, ant biology, behavioral economics, artificial intelligence, military history, and politics to show how this simple idea offers important lessons for how we live our lives, select our leaders, run our companies, and think about our world.
Tax Reform
Tax reform passes, Sales Down & Prices Flat President Trump’s tax reform proposal includes changes that will increase the cost of homeownership. Do you expect its effect to be: Range since 1988: Low: 1.3 months in April 2004 High: 18.8 months in Apr 1991 Long-run average: 6.9 months SERIES: 2017 EXPO FUN SURVEY SOURCE: C.A.R.
Impact of Tax Reform Two Provisions on the Individual Tax Reform Proposal: Doubling the Standard Deduction Repeal the state and local tax deduction Impact on the housing market: The repeal of the state and local tax deduction increases the cost of owning a home Incentives of using MID as a tax saving tool as a homeowner would be nullified Home values decline as these tax saving advantages vanish
Impact of Tax Reform on the Housing Market The proposed tax reform would lead to fewer sales transactions as the tax incentives of being a homeowner vanish for many who want to purchase a property. Home sales would decline 3.4 percent if the proposed tax reform were to be implemented The decline in home values would also lead to homeowners’ reluctance to put their property on the market and further tighten up the housing supply condition in California. An estimated 1.5 percent would be lost in the first year after the implementation of the tax reform.
Incentives for Homeownership Obliterated First-time buyers ($100K income, $437K home) - federal tax incentive to own vs. rent drops from $3,291 to zero in the first year. Typical buyers ($120K income, $533.5K home): $5,782 to $362 in the first year. Mid-range buyers ($150K income, $615K home): $8,099 to $1,334 in the first year. High-end buyers/SF/LA Metro Buyers ($200K income, $1.2M home): $16,615 to $5,725 in the first year.

Affordability
Housing Affordability In CA: 29% 2017-Q2: % able to purchase median-priced home SERIES: Housing Affordability Index of Traditional Buyers SOURCE: CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
Housing Affordability Peaked Q1 2012 California, 1984-2017 Annual Quarterly C.A.R.’s traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI) was replaced with the First-Time Buyer Housing Affordability Index (FTB-HAI) in 2006. Note this slide takes the average of the 3 months in each of the quarters. C.A.R. began producing its Housing Affordability Index (HAI) in 1984. At that time, fixed-rate mortgages were the prevailing form of financing a home purchase, while the calculations used to produce the HAI reflected a 20 percent down payment. The methodology also assumed a monthly payment for principal, interest, taxes and insurance that was no more than 30 percent of a household’s income. In the more than two decades since the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® first conceived the HAI, the mortgage finance landscape has changed dramatically. The range of mortgage products available to buyers as well as underwriting criteria has changed. C.A.R. developed the new index measuring affordability for first-time home buyers to better reflect the realities of today’s real estate market.
