Pop Goes The "Real Estate Bubble" Myth!Written by Roseanne Nepht
If you turn on TV, listen to radio, or even surf internet, you'll notice that there is a lot of people talking about "Real Estate Bubble", and asking question, "when is it going to burst?" They (these so-called experts) have been saying for years that real estate market can't continue this type of growth. These "experts" remind me of chicken little, with all of their prosphesy of doom and gloom, and "sky is falling" syndrome. The truth is there has never been a real estate bubble in past, or presently, and there will certainly never be one in future. Talk about there being a "real estate bubble" is stuff that urban legends are made of.Here's readers digest version of what it all means. The real estate market is really, a "wave". It's cyclical, and we are riding on a big wave right now. Real Estate is just like Investing in stock market, There are good years when values rise and there are years that are better, when values rise even higher. That's it, in a nutshell. Real estate has gone up and down throughout history, and generally speaking, it is fairly stable. When you look at a graph of real estate values, you would be able to see a clear pattern of increasing values. Now some years would have higher peaks than others, and all in all, it is a gradual building slope from left to right. And it looks just like a wave. In addition, there are more up cycles, than down cycles. So recent growth we've had will be followed by ones of downturn. The only difference is that it may not be as much of an increase, in other words increase will be slower. The bottom line is, it will still be growth. This is why there will always be growth. Real Estate is a basic need. People need a roof over their heads. You can rest assured that people will be renting, buying, leasing, and selling homes. And it doesn't matter if market is low or high or if interest rates are up or down. Real Estate is a sure thing!
