Real Estate has been at the center of debates of discussions for the past few years. It is critical to the US recovery as it has a very critical impact on the spending of the US consumer. That is why the US government created so many incentives to help get prices stable but also because it was viewed as a critical part of the recovery.
Now that the US economy is back growing, two major forces will influence real estate prices:
-End of government subsidies: How much impact will the end of the major stimulus programs have? Difficult to estimate but they will no doubt have an impact
-Jobs being created: With the economy recovery comes new jobs which will create more demand from 1st time house buyers, will these jobs bring back price growth?
The good point is that no matter where you think real estate prices are headed, there are good alternatives for you? You can go long, short, leveraged 2 times or even 3 times, on one side or the other. As you can see, so far it has been very profitable this year to be long real estate.
