Boris Mizhen — Summaries Predictions for an Active Real Estate Sector Next Year

Boris Mizhen, real estate expert, is excited about the future of the real estate industry as good changes keep happening in the property sector. Mizhen, along other real estate leaders, see the shift as a sign that the industry will be stable in the upcoming period.  Top economists believed last year to be a record-breaking year for real estate, and while the previous year saw periods of rapid growth, it was a year of caution as investors were hesitant to jump into a market without clear signs of positive growth. This coming year, the expectation is to expand consistently as real estate is strengthened by low mortgage interest rates and employment growth.

These predictions in real estate are backed by new data showing the unemployment rate dropping to the Federal Reserve’s target of 5 percent, down from a peak of 10 percent in 2009. More Americans are working today than at any point in the past six years, which means more people will be able to afford their first home, or upgrade to a new one. While observers have voiced concern that the recent hike in interest rates may raise issues in affordability, stagnate prices, and harm real estate, Boris Mizhen addressed the actions of central bankers as the direct result of a stronger economy in the first place. He also explains that the higher rates can act as a stimulus as well. He says that if rates are predicted to grow again in the future, those who own homes will be more inclined to purchase and sell before the next surge.

The rental market and home purchasing plans of millennials are also expected to improve the real estate industry. As the cost of renting continues to increase, housing looks more attractive, and it will push more Americans into home ownership. Mizhen notes that the price of renting is rising much faster than house prices. In most of the country, it is currently less pricy to purchase than to rent. ‘’There is an opportunity in the market to own for a monthly payment that is significantly less than the expenditure of renting.” An increasing number of adults in their 20s and early 30s want to purchase a home, with one-third of those anticipating to buy expecting to start looking in the next two years. Experts point out that in the past, this was an age group that was known for cautiously taking out lines of credit, partially because they didn’t want to repeat the debt mistakes of earlier generations. In 2011, 65 percent of millennials were interested in buying a home. Now, the number is up to 80 percent, signaling another upward trend for real estate.
