Skyrocketing home values, cheap money, and enticing home
equity offers in recent years ... millions of us took on
bigger mortgages, bigger houses, and bigger debt. But
disturbing signs point to the end of the housing bubble:
- Home sales and starts are at all-time record
highs;
- In some markets, prices have ballooned by
over 100% in the past few years;
- Interest rates are
rising, while consumer debt stands at a record 110% of
disposable income;
- In some cities, real estate
investors are creating "vulture capital" funds to buy condos
cheaply when the market collapses.
This
indispensable survival guide will address questions that
include: - Should I take equity out of my house
in these uncertain times?
- If the U.S. market tanks,
how can I sell to foreign investors?
- How can I tell
when my hometown is likely to boom or bust?
- Is it
too late to buy as a first-time home-owner? How about as an
investor?
- What are the best tips to protect my home
investment?
- What are the best tips to increase my
investment?
- Should I just get out of the market now
while prices are still hot?
- Where are America's
most vulnerable housing markets?
Today's real
estate developments could make you house poor, but this is
the book to keep you house proud.
