America's Riskiest Real Estate - Nassau/Suffolk #2

source

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Some of the nation's frothiest housing markets are at growing risk of price declines, according to the most recent survey from PMI Mortgage Insurance Corporation.

The PMI Risk Index is based on economic activity and other conditions that PMI thinks are predictive of home-price declines over the next two years.

Factors used to derive the index include home prices, employment conditions and the affordability of homes.

At a 55.3 percent chance, the index singles out Boston as the area most at risk for a decline. That's up from 53.4 percent three months earlier.

The Nassau and Suffolk County area, in suburban New York, is right on Boston's heels. The probability of a decline, according to PMI, is 54 percent, up from 51.1 percent.

The metro area that had the biggest increase in risk is Riverside-San Bernadino, east of Los Angeles, which rose 8.3 points to 42.2 percent.

Some areas got a little safer during the quarter. Among them, Detroit had the biggest drop from 37.9 percent to 29.5 percent while New York's risk score fell from 33.1 percent to 32.6 percent.

So where are homeowners all but guaranteed to not go through a bubble burst?

They can breathe easiest, according to the PMI listing, in Pittsburgh (5.6 percent), Memphis (5.8 percent), and Indianapolis (5.9 percent). Among western cities, Seattle scored the safest, at 6.4 percent.

that is NOT what i meant...
What i mean is i can't wait for the house prices to drop. meanign i am looking to buy soon.
I am looking to buy no later than this fall and i am pretty confident that this decrease in value will not happen that quick.

Either way even if this drop would occur tomorrow wouldn't benefit me all that much since i am selling as well as buying

I know what you mean, we kept waiting for "the bubble to burst" and it is not. We lost out on a ton of equity and should have bought 2 years ago.

Re: America's Riskiest Real Estate - Nassau/Suffolk #2

I spoke to my RE agent b/c there is a house over in Smithtown that DH and I are interested in looking at. In talking with her she said that the market is changing every day. People are no longer getting the astronomical asking prices. Most houses are now going for about 10% less than asking - not all houses obviously but the market is definitely shifting.

She is going to evaluate my house and said she would give us a ballpark figure meaning she doesn't want to go too low but at this stage of the market doesn't want to go too high b/c then no one would be interested in looking should we choose to move.

I wonder though how this will affect the entry-market, the people buying their first homes. Starter homes still seem to go quickly, and even if the prices drop what will they drop from? 350 for a shack vs. 400? still crazy.Chat Icon

Yes this is what i am seeing..
houses under 400K go like hot cakes (unless something is wrong with it)
400K plus...are definitely slowing down!

Re: America's Riskiest Real Estate - Nassau/Suffolk #2

I don't even think there is such thing as a starter home in this market.. We are in contract on an apt-- granted- in a metro area right outside of the city- in Hoboken-- and it's just a little less than both my parent's homes on LI-- one is in Nassau and the other in Suffolk.. granted-- they each live in paired down homes-- being "empty-nesters", but they are 2 BRs and 3BRs.. but both me and my brother have spent way more on our first homes than our parents even dreamed of doing.. And my bro is in San Jose, CA-- another ridic market.
