We are not experiencing the"crazy prices of 2004 and 2005. Values have come up, but buyers are not over paying and appraisers are crushing sales. As for the economy, as long as they are giving mortgages to those qualified and rates stay put we are good. If rates go up sharply and lending stops, so goes the economy

If interest rates rise dramatically it will slow down property price increases. 

If gas prices jump to $4.00 per gallon again, that too will slow down property price increases. 

If both interest rates and gas prices jump then we will see a levelling off of property prices and possibly a reduction of prices.

Outsatnding question Jay...I can't preditct what will happen. I have read conflicting articles discussing what is going to happen with the real estate market. One article states that we aren't slowing down due to the rise in population and growth in the market place and the other is saying that real estate prices are not sustainable with the lack of growth in income..like Dave Halpern said, we just need to keep ourselves informed with the interest rates...

It's supply & demand driven, not bad ARM loan driven, so it will take buyers saying "enough" or something happening in the world to jar it off the current path. Also, it's a response to the new construction shortages created in the Great Depreciation Market and the fact that so many more people invested in buy & hold properties during that period, thus removing thousands of resale units from the market that used to be there in 2005. A correction is due, but not a bubble, a "normal" cycle is due. I'm hoping for it as I'd like to see some of  these bozo discount brokers get decimated.

I feel like things are definitely different than they were in 2008, the beginning of The Great Recession. NINJA morgtages are a thing of the past, appraisal management companies have been put into place and the qualifications to purchase are more strict than before. 

In 2007, just before the downturn, we had plenty of inventory - prices were artificially inflated then with no control over appraisals. NOW, things are quite different and inventory is painfully low, driving prices up. There's a huge difference in my opinion.

Good question and one that has the experts puzzled. Not the same as in 2004-2007 when inventory was massive. Real estate has low inventory, driving the prices up, people are finding jobs and optimistic..interest rates..we need to watch what they do. We all know markets can't continue at the pace but many are enjoying the ride..

Interest rates are like a cheer leading squad (do it again we like it) louder than ever causing buyers to stop renting and plunge into ownership. Sellers are sitting on equity and considering trading up or cashing out to relocate. Rental property values remain high and consistent. Steady eddie is upon us
