Here's a reminder of the past...

Residential builders threw up 1.3 million news houses in 2003, and 2004 was similar.
The big builders had seen sales rise by an average of 24% yearly since 2000.

Most entry-level home buying had been possible because of lower inter^st rates, easy money, and the lower of standards for loan qualifying.

This is interesting...In 1980 loan payments amounted to 31% of a households income.

In 1990, that figure dropped to 22% of income.

In the 2000s it takes just 19% of the family income to keep the mortgage current.

In addition to low inter^st rates the flow of new immigrants into the country continues to increase the demand for housing.

What about CHINA? The economic boom in China is having an effect on US housing prices, because of the increased demand for raw materials.

The lack of easily available concrete has inflated housing prices by an estimated $5,000 to $7,000 each.

If you watch the commodity market you will notice that the world wide price of lumber continues to climb.

What's next for real estate investors in general?

Nobody knows for sure... but you can bet there will be at least a rise in interest rates. That alone can throw some cold water on the hottest markets.

Just remember that you can make money in any real estate market if you have a well rounded investor education. Here's the economical way to get that...
