Florida home sales up 3 percent, median price rises 26 percent in April

ORLANDO, Fla. -- May 24, 2005 -- Different month, same story for sales of existing single-family homes in Florida in April: high demand, still-low mortgage rates and a short supply of homes available for sale, bringing the statewide median sales price to $218,600 -- a 26 percent increase over the April 2004 figure, according to the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR).

In 2000, the statewide median sales price was $115,900, which represents a dramatic 88.6 percent increase over the five-year-period, according to FAR records. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more, half sold for less.

Last month, a total of 23,537 existing single-family homes changed hands statewide for a 3 percent increase over the 22,746 homes sold the previous April, according to FAR.

Nationally, the median sales price for existing single-family homes was $193,600 in March, up 11.3 percent from a year earlier, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). In California, the statewide median resales price was $495,400 in March; in New York, it was $278,050; in Maryland, it was $258,736; in North Carolina, the average resales price was $199,750; and in Illinois, the median price was $184,500.

The interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in April averaged 5.86 percent, only slightly higher than the 5.83 percent averaged during the same month a year ago. FAR's sales figures reflect closings, which typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.

Among the state's larger markets, the Fort Myers-Cape Coral metropolitan statistical area (MSA) showed higher sales last month, with a total of 1,266 homes changing hands for a 19 percent gain over the 1,064 homes sold in April 2004. The market's median home price rose 43 percent to $262,900; a year ago, it was $184,100.

Gary Atkinson, GRI, president of the Realtor Association of Greater Fort Myers & the Beach and a sales associate with RE/MAX Realty Group in Fort Myers, cites still-low mortgage rates as a factor in the market's strong resales activity.

"We're not strictly a retirement community anymore. Our sales are year-round," he says. "We've got baby boomers still looking for retirement property. People are realizing that prices are heading up and they want to get into the market while they can. Inventory is becoming much more scarce. And if a home is priced where it should be, it's gone in a week."

Other larger Florida MSAs reporting strong resales activity last month compared to a year ago include: Tampa-Clearwater-St. Petersburg, where 5,105 homes sold for a 19 percent increase; and Jacksonville, where 1,553 homes changed hands for a 7 percent gain. The median sales price in those markets also rose over the same period: in Tampa-Clearwater-St. Petersburg, 23 percent to $183,000; and in Jacksonville, 13 percent to $174,100.

Of the state's smaller markets, the Lakeland-Winter Haven MSA reported a 13 percent boost in home sales in April, with a total of 592 homes changing hands compared to 524 homes sold last year. The area's median sales price rose 25 percent to $126,600; a year ago, it was $101,000.

Vera Tungate, president of the Lakeland Association of Realtors and a sales associate with Exit Realty of Lakeland, says the Lakeland area offers a range of housing options at attractive prices, which helps to drive demand. "We have multiple offers on the table," she says. "We don't have enough properties for the buyers we have, and it's helping to create a sellers' market. Our area is very attractive to a lot of buyers, they want to move into the Lakeland area, but we just don't have the inventory."

Other smaller MSAs reporting strong gains in home sales last month include: Gainesville, where 386 homes sold for a 27 percent increase; and Ocala, where 594 homes sold, also for a 27 percent increase. The median sales price in those markets increased as well: in Ocala, 10 percent to $131,800; and in Gainesville, 5 percent to $168,100.

Young buyers set trends in new-home marketplace, says study

WASHINGTON -- May 24, 2005 -- Households headed by Generation Xers and members of the so-called echo-boom purchased 55 percent of all newly built homes sold in 2003 and are fast becoming the trendsetters in U.S. housing markets, according to reports from the U.S. Census and newly analyzed buyer preferences data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

"A new generation is viewing the housing market from an entirely different perspective than the baby boomers who've traditionally dominated industry trends," says NAHB Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Jerry Howard. "They're techno-savvy and are more likely to be house-shopping on the Internet. They have a strong awareness of all their options."

Gen-Xers in particular are wielding their buying power to shape today's new-home characteristics and market trends. "They and younger buyers were responsible for more than half of all new-home purchases in 2003 and are twice as likely to purchase new homes in the immediate future as baby boomers and seniors," Howard says.

American Housing Survey data from the U.S. Commerce Department shows that, while households headed by those aged 27 to 40 (the Gen-Xers) accounted for 28 percent of all U.S. households in 2003, they were responsible for fully 49 percent of new-home purchases that year. Another 6 percent of newly built homes were purchased by echo-boomers (born after 1979), 33 percent were purchased by baby boomers and 12 percent were purchased by seniors aged 60 and up.

Meanwhile, NAHB research on consumer preferences indicates that 37 percent of Gen-Xers and 27 percent of echo boomers intend to buy homes in the next two years, compared to just 13 percent of baby boomers and 6 percent of seniors.

What does this mean for the next generation of home building? "Previously there was speculation that younger buyers would be more thrifty than their parents with respect to their housing choices, but our research shows just the opposite is true," says NAHB Director of Research Gopal Ahluwalia.

In fact, many preferred options support the idea of a "move-up mentality" for younger buyers. For example, both echo boomers and Gen-Xers say they would like to have a home that is about 50 percent larger than their current residence. This compares to seniors and baby boomers, who want only 17 percent and 22 percent more space, respectively.

Similarly, 91 percent of echo-boomers say they would like their next home purchase to be a single-family detached home, versus the 46 percent who currently live in that kind of house. Seniors, on the other hand, are more likely than any other group to want to buy a townhouse rather than a single-family home -- though most still prefer the detached option.

Other housing preferences of younger buyers also show the inclination for a more luxurious lifestyle. For example, 61 percent of echo-boomers and 67 percent of Gen-Xers say they would prefer to have four or more bedrooms in their next house, compared to 40 percent of baby boomers and 26 percent of seniors. Similarly, younger buyers show a much greater preference for high ceilings that lend a greater sense of volume and spaciousness to a home.

Fully 73 percent and 77 percent of echo-boomers and Gen-Xers, respectively, say they want nine-foot or higher ceilings on the first floor, compared to 65 percent of baby boomers and just 54 percent of seniors. In terms of high-tech amenities, echo-boomers are more likely than any others to want a home theater, automated lighting controls and a built-in security system.

Apogee South Beach

After years of false starts and fierce fights about how the southern tip of Miami Beach should be developed, a decade of high-rise condominium construction on South Pointe is set to culminate with two final towers.

Before the end of the year, the New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner plans to break ground on the 38-story Continuum North Tower and Jorge Perez's Related Group will begin marketing its planned luxury condo, Apogee.

Construction of the two buildings effectively ends years of debate about how the Miami Beach neighborhood south of Fifth Street should be developed.

The two new towers will leave nine high-rise condos dotting a South Pointe waterfront that had virtually no tall buildings 10 years ago.

Zoning restrictions snuff out any more high-rise development in the neighborhood, which, before the recent spate of development, was known as home to the world famous Joe's Stone Crab restaurant.

City leaders, meanwhile, are finishing plans to redevelop South Pointe Park, a 17-acre green space overlooking Government Cut that is slated to grow by two acres under a recent deal with Perez's Related Group.

Rising 22 stories, Apogee will have 68 units ranging from 3,100 to 6,900 square feet in space. Ceilings will run 10 feet high. Balconies will extend 11 feet, complete with a built-in outdoor grill.

Located at the very southern tip of South Beach, between the Portofino Tower and the Murano at Portofino

Master bathrooms will have an in-ground tub with Rainshower showerhead, giving you the feeling of a relaxation pool in your own bathroom

Master closets will be finished with the ultimate in closet systems, including a "midnight" kitchen with appliances...in your closet!

Each owner will have a private two-car enclosed space within the main garage for the condos at 800 South Pointe Dr. The Cuban artist José Bedia has been commissioned to do three paintings for the building.

''It is far and away the most expensive building we have constructed,'' said Perez, who plans to complete the building in late 2006. ``This will be the last of the high-rises in this area.''

Continuum North Tower, at the eastern end of South Pointe Drive, is also promising to deliver luxury condos, la its first tower. It is to have 199 units, seven town houses and seven lofts ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet. Penthouses will be 7,000 square feet. It is also set to be finished in late 2006.

In February, The New York Times wrote about how a 270-square-foot beachfront cabana at the already built Continuum South Tower sold for $850,000.

''That's $3,148 a square foot -- four and a half times the average for Manhattan apartments,'' The Times marveled.

Prices ranging from $2.5 to $9 million.

Most insurers will stay in Florida

PALM BEACH, Fla. -- May 20, 2005 -- The good news for homeowners: Insurance companies aren't likely to follow Allstate Floridian's lead and drop customers by the thousands.
But how much more Florida homeowners will have to pay to insure their homes is an open question.

Allstate on Wednesday announced that it intends to shed 95,000 homeowner policies this year, while also dropping all of its commercial coverage. It also said it intends to raise homeowner premiums but did not say by how much or when it will seek to do so.

Other large carriers statewide said Thursday they have no plans to reduce their customer counts.

"We have not changed out market strategy or philosophy or our commitment to the Florida market since last year's four storms," said Tom Hagerty, a spokesman for State Farm, Florida's largest carrier, with 921,000 homeowner policies statewide.

Joe Case, a spokesman for Nationwide, the state's No. 4 carrier, said the Columbus, Ohio--based insurer also has no intention of dropping any of its 300,000 homeowner policies in Florida.

The company asked for a 28.3 percent rate hike this year that the state Office of Insurance Regulation says it intends to reject.

"We're trying to position ourselves to continue to offer our Florida customers the same quality of service as we have in the past," Case said.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, insurance companies declined to renew the policies of 1 million customers statewide. Allstate was among them, ceding 137,000 policies to Clarendon Insurance Co.

So far, Allstate and Penn Charter Mutual Insurance Co. of Lititz, Pa., are the only companies to notify the state of their intention to jettison homeowner customers. Penn Charter, which has 6,386 customers in Florida, is leaving the state altogether.

Policy counts for Citizens Property Insurance Co., the state's insurer of last resort, confirm that the market has been relatively stable. In January, Citizens had 96,300 customers in Palm Beach County, for example. In April, it had 95,500.

"We expect that other than some rate increases the market will be pretty firm," said Sam Miller of the Florida Insurance Council, an industry group.

Miller said other insurers are doing the same thing that Allstate did, reviewing their risk exposure in Florida, their finances and costs and making adjustments if necessary. Sometimes, as in the case of Allstate, that means dropping policies; sometimes it means raising rates.

State Farm is among the 12 insurers that have had rate hikes approved since October. It sought and got a 5 percent hike because of increased costs for repairs and higher reinsurance costs. In January, Citizens asked to raise homeowner rates by 23.2 percent.

That's the biggest hike state insurance regulators have approved in the past eight months.

Insurance companies are required to make a rate filing with the state at least once a year; many do that in the spring as hurricane season approaches.

Nationally, consumers are seeing only modest hikes in their property insurance bills. Rates on average are going up by 2.5 percent, the lowest increase in six years, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

But Florida, because of its vulnerability to hurricanes, is way above average.

"Certainly in Florida, rates are very high," said Loretta Worters of the insurance industry group.

Mortgage rates at lowest level since February

WASHINGTON -- May 20, 2005 -- Rates on 30-year and 15-year mortgages this week dropped to their lowest levels since late February, offering a bit of good news for people wanting to buy a home.
Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday in its weekly survey that rates on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages averaged 5.71 percent, down from 5.77 percent last week.

Analysts attributed the decline in mortgage rates to reduced fears on the part of investors that the economy might face an outbreak of inflation.

"As long as inflation is held in check, there is little or no pressure to push mortgage rates higher," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's chief economist. Despite high fuel prices, "core" inflation - which excludes food and energy costs - seems to be fairly tame, he said. The gauge of core inflation is watched closely by the Federal Reserve, economists and investors.

For 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, a popular option for refinancing, rates dipped to 5.27 percent this week, down from 5.33 percent last week.

This week's rates for both 30-year and 15-year mortgages were the lowest since the week ending February 24, when they averaged 5.69 percent and 5.22 percent, respectively.

Rates on five-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages also declined this week, falling to 5.07 percent, compared with 5.21 percent the week before. These hybrid mortgages have a fixed-rate for five years and then adjust each year after that.

"Continuing low rates will keep the housing industry abuzz," Nothaft said.

Rates on one-year adjustable-rate mortgages, however, rose to 4.26 percent this week, up from 4.23 percent last week.

The nationwide averages for mortgage rates do not include add-on fees known as points. Each mortgage type carried a nationwide average fee of 0.7 point.

A year ago, 30-year mortgages averaged 6.30 percent, 15-year mortgages were at 5.67 percent and one-year ARMs averaged 3.99 percent. Freddie Mac does not have historical data on the five-year ARM, which it began tracking this year.

Donald Trump chooses Kendra Todd as 'The Apprentice'

Miami Real Estate

NEW YORK –- May 20, 2005 -- Donald Trump selected Kendra Todd as his first female "Apprentice," handing her a job with his organization and a $250,000 (euro197,754) salary at the close of the NBC reality show's live finale.
"I couldn't be happier," Todd told The Associated Press after her win Thursday night. "I was the girl who used to watch this on television and here I am. Dreams do come true. Just work hard and you'll get there."

Todd, the 26-year-old "book smarts" real estate broker from Boynton Beach, Florida, bested "street smarts" entrepreneur and mother of two Tana Goertz during the final boardroom battle.

Goertz, 37, of Des Moines, didn't go down without a fight. She assertively pointed out in front of the live audience that a winning idea for a round Pontiac brochure during one of the tasks was her idea although Todd was the task's project manager.

"I thought it was a little much," Trump said of Goertz's self-acknowledgment. "I don't mind aggression in men or women, but I found it to be a little obnoxious. I didn't love it."

Todd said she had been expecting Goertz to bring up the brochure.

"I was pretty sure that was going to happen," Todd said. "Believe me, I had my strategies in line. I knew everything that they might come at me with. I am a team player. I give credit where credit is due. ... (But) certainly there's more to a brochure than just the shape."

In episodes leading up to the live finale, Todd organized the Best Buy Video Game Championship during her final task, pleasing both corporate sponsors and her misfit team of firees. Todd, who was a member of "book smarts" Magna team, has an undergraduate degree in linguistics from the University of Florida.

Todd won't have to go too far from home for her new job. She chose developing a mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., over working on the Miss Universe pageant. Trump said he'd like Todd to train under his adviser Carolyn Kepcher at the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York, for a few months before tackling the Palm Beach mansion.

"I think she's going to be terrific," said Trump. "I like that she's a team player. That's how she ultimately won."

In the previous two "Apprentice" finales, Trump chose cigar business owner Bill Rancic to oversee the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago and software executive Kelly Perdew to work on the Trump Place real estate development and Trump Ice bottled water projects in New York.

Trump is already in search of another "Apprentice." The fourth season and a spin-off starring Martha Stewart are in production.

"It's not book smarts vs. street smarts," said executive producer Mark Burnett of the next season. "It's a very impressive cast. Donald's in a really, really good mood about it. It's been really tough each week about who to fire."

Allstate drops insurance policies for Florida businesses

Miami Real Estate

TAMPA -- May 19, 2005 -- Allstate will stop writing property insurance for Florida businesses and will not renew 95,000 homeowner policies to protect against future losses.

Allstate, the state's third-largest insurer, will not renew policies for the 16,000 commercial properties it insures. It is not a major writer of business insurance in the state.

The publicly traded insurer will drop about 12.5 percent of its homeowner policies across the state, keeping about 663,000 customers.

Allstate has not written policies in the Tampa Bay area for years.

Universal Insurance Co. of North America has agreed to write policies for Allstate customers who are dropped as part of the reshuffling.

"Now, with the 2005 hurricane season starting in two weeks, we must be ready to handle future hurricane losses," said Phil Lawson, president of Allstate Floridian, a separate division of Allstate Corp.

Allstate paid about $2 billion in claims after last year's four hurricanes.

The company also said it would seek a rate increase from state regulators but didn't specify how much.

Allstate waged an unsuccessful bid in this year's legislative session to make it easier for insurers to tap the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, which the state created to offset massive losses for insurance companies.

"There is still significant room for improvement to give Florida homeowners protection at a better price," Lawson said.

Bush Thanks Realtors for Helping Americans Achieve Homeownership

President George W. Bush received thunderous applause during parts of his speech Friday to thousands of Realtors assembled in Washington, D.C., for a week of meetings and lobbying.

Though the president spent most of his speech to the National Association of Realtors explaining his proposed Social Security reforms, he got the strongest applause when he argued for more health insurance options for small business, as well as select policies that would likely help continue the strong residential real estate market.

“Our Realtors play a crucial role in creating opportunity in America,” Bush told the Realtors. “After all, you help people attain an important part of the American experience and the American Dream, and that is owning a home. I believe the proper role of government is to encourage ownership, is to promote an ownership society ... When you own a home, it brings stability to a neighborhood or security to a family. I love it when somebody – a first-time homeowner – opens up the door to their house and says, welcome to my piece of property, welcome to my home.”

“And we're making progress,” the President continued. “In this country, homeownership set a new record last year: 69 percent of American families own a home. … There are 74 million homeowners in America today. And that's the most ever in our nation's history. I want to thank you for working hard to help people realize that dream.”

The president also noted how he wants the number of minority homeowners to reach 5.5 million by the year 2010.

“We just set a new quarterly record this year of 51.6 percent of minorities owning their own home – 2.3 million minorities own a home. We're halfway toward our goal of over five million by 2010,” Bush said.

“Housing starts – we're at the highest level in over 25 years, reaching nearly two million homes. That's the best annual performance since 1978,” the president added.

The American Dream Down Payment Act has been signed into law.

“My 2006 budget requests $200 million for that initiative,” Bush said. “And it's an important initiative. You see, that money will help thousands of families with their downpayment and closing costs, which will help more people realize the great joy of owning their own home.”

“To boost housing sales even more, Congress needs to pass my single-family homeownership tax credit,” he added. “We estimate this credit would increase the supply of affordable single-family homes by as many as 50,000 each year. The idea is to increase the supply of affordable homes by seven million over the next 10 years. In other words, there is a proper role for government to provide incentives for entrepreneurs and small businesses to expand. One thing we've got to make certain is to understand that the mortgage interest deduction enables more Americans to be able to own their own home. It is an important part of our tax code.”

The loudest applause came when the president backed health insurance reforms that would allow more small businesses to cover their employees – with a current bill strongly backed by the NAR and Realtors.

“We need to make it less costly for small businesses to provide health care for their employees,” Bush said. “We continue to expand health savings accounts. We must allow small businesses to pool risk across jurisdictional boundaries so they can buy insurance at the same discounts big companies are able to do. And to make sure health care is available and affordable to people from all walks of life, Congress needs to pass medical liability reform.”

Bush also relayed how he hold his wife, Laura, that he was going to speak to the Realtors group.

“She said, don't go over there and start looking for a house yet, you've got three-and-a-half more years,” the president joked.

South Florida Real Estate Buyer's Agent

http://A-Realtor.Com

What is a Real Estate Buyer's Agent?

If you are in the market to purchase real estate, you should be seeking out the services of a Buyers Agent. An "Exclusive Buyers Agent" title reflects that the Agent, the Broker, and the company solely represent and work on behalf of the Buyer's interests. Their fiduciary duty in any real estate transaction is limited to you, the buyer. Securing the services of a Buyer's Agent is the first and best step you can take!

What will it cost? How does it work?

An Exclusive Buyers Agent provides you with representation - a market expert to share their knowledge and experience while working on your behalf, at no cost to you.

In the business of real estate, the Selling Agent (meaning the one that brings the Buyer) is paid on what we refer to as a "standard co-broke". Whether you buy a new home or an existing (resale) property, in a typical real estate transaction the seller pays the commission and in that commission agreement is an allotment for a Buyers Agent or selling Agent. If you contact the Listing Agent directly and don't utilize the services of a Buyers Agent, that Agent you contact is now working on behalf of the transaction between both parties. This is what we refer to as a "transaction agent." In most cases, the total commission agreement is going to one party - the listing agent or office - so there is conflict of interest.

With The "I-Team", we have no conflict of interest since we am paid the same amount whether you buy a new home or an existing property. Because our fee is dictated by the Seller and does not fluctuate, our objective is clear: We take care of our clients.

So what makes me different?

I have been working for, representing, and assisting thousands of home buyers.

The services that I provide to my clients, however, are not limited to the new home market. I have information on all homes currently available for sale. My experience in the area where you wish to find a home and the relationships I have built there with builders and developers benefit my clients. We know what is happening now, and in most cases I can tell you about new developments, pricing, availability, market value, builder reputations, expert advice on appreciation potential … the list goes on.

Backlog for hurricane shutters leaves homes vulnerable

MIAMI -- May 9, 2005 -- It may already be too late to add hurricane shutters in time for this year's storm season. In some cases, it takes six months to complete a job after a customer calls: A call for hurricane shutters today means they wouldn't be installed until roughly the same time the 2005 hurricane season ends.

"It's really hectic now. We can't even get out to do an estimate for three weeks," says Barry Horvath, assistant operations manager for Shutter Services and Screen Repair in Delray Beach. "Then there's a 40-week backlog before we can start the job." Horvath calls it a slow day if he only gets 75 calls.

Installation and manufacturing remain stumbling blocks because shutters must be made to fit and installed by skilled workers. In addition, the raw materials -- mainly aluminum and some steel -- remain in short supply for everyone in the construction industry.

"The cost of aluminum has shot up 30 percent so far this year, and suppliers are increasing their prices as frequently as twice a month," says Greg Allowe, executive vice president of sales at Bulldog Products USA in Fort Myers. "No one's ever seen a crunch of business like this. New, tougher building codes, population growth and last year's very active storm season have all contributed to the demand."

Shutter installers say the real onslaught hasn't even begun. Many homeowners don't call for service until the hurricane season is under way.

Even do-it-yourselfers may have trouble preparing their home for the next hurricane season. Aluminum panels and installation tracks can be purchased at Home Depot and other supply stores at a cost of $250 to $300 for a typical window. But even the stores don't expect another shipment, at least in South Florida, for another six weeks; and many Home Depot stores only offer them by special order. Lowes also carries the raw materials, but many times sells out before the next shipment arrives.

Brian Brizel of Tamarac says he doesn't plan to follow the do-it-yourself route and will rely on a higher source for protection. "We'll just hope and pray we don't get hit this year," Brizel says. "I'm going to wait until this hurricane season is over and then see if I can find a better price when the contractors aren't as busy."

"Hot" Miami Pre Construction Condo Information

GotMiami.Com Arguably the hottest areas of Florida real estate are the pre construction and new construction markets. Developers across Florida are building at a fantastic rate. In order to qualify for the various stages of their construction financing, many developers offer discounts to early buyers. These discounted prices often result in better-than-average appreciation for buyers and investors. Savvy buyers know the value of buying preconstruction. Getting in on the ground floor is a fantastic opportunity to save thousands of dollars. One of the greatest benefits of buying in the preconstruction phase is that prices generally are lower than those of existing like-kind re-sales of existing real estate. Developers discount the prices of preconstruction units to give buyers the incentive to buy, something that will help both seller and buyer. Discounts are sometimes the primary difference and provide a win-win situation for all parties involved. Developers sell pre-construction at lower prices because they usually need pre-sales in order to secure a construction loan. Lenders typically require that 50% to 80% of a project be pre-sold prior to the construction commencing. As construction progresses, Developers typically increase the price of preconstruction units. This oftentimes is an additional incentive to buy at the earliest possible phase. Planning and patience pay off when buying preconstruction property. First, you need to plan on having the necessary funds when it comes time to convert. Second, you just need patience waiting for the documents to be delivered and for the condo to be built. If the preconstruction prices compare favorably with existing re-sales, then there is a good probability that you will enjoy substantial appreciation for your investment. Weather you're planning to purchase a preconstruction condo or loft for personal use or for investment Turnberry International Realty is sure to be your key to South Florida real estate.

Economist Frets Over Housing Bubble

People across the nation continue to buy houses at highly inflated prices, even though economists have warned for months that the bubble's going to burst.

But it hasn't.

University of Houston economics professor Barton Smith believes the bubble is bound to pop, but the severity and timing depend on how long and how high the Federal Reserve keeps raising interest rates.

There's another big unknown looming, said Smith, who presented his annual real estate symposium on Thursday to more than 1,000 real estate developers, bankers and other business leaders.

"It's psychological, it's psychological," he said.

At some point, people are going to realize that the gains of 10 to 20 percent a year aren't sustainable, he said. In 2004, for example, average home prices increased 47 percent in Las Vegas, 27 percent in Washington, D.C., and 25 percent in Miami.

When the realization strikes, prices will start to fall. A dip of only 20 to 25 percent in cities just on the East and West coasts could end up creating a nationwide recession. And that would hurt even affordable-housing cities like Houston that are closely tied into the national economy.

"The Fed has to try to take the gusto out of the market without creaming it," Smith said.

On Tuesday, in its eighth consecutive quarter-point hike, the Fed raised interest rates to 3 percent. It takes three quarters before the economy begins to feel the effect of a rate change.

Despite rising interest rates, there's been no shortage of buyers. Smith attributes that to a last-minute rush to buy. Consumers are hearing about interest rates rising so they figure they'd better lock in, he said.

Fortunately, Houston's market isn't overpriced compared to the rest of the nation. For a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house, it costs on average $79 a square foot in Houston, compared with the national average of $117.

Area employers are adding jobs faster than they did a year ago, though manufacturing and construction will continue to be weak spots. Assuming employers will keep their January-to-April hiring pace going for the entire year, Houston should end 2005 with an extra 33,000 jobs, a 1.6 percent increase.

But ominous signs are looming, Smith said. Foreclosures, for example, are as high today as they were in 1991. And builders in Houston are putting up single-family homes faster than they can be sold.

In the past year, 42,000 single-family home permits were issued, but the area gained only 15,000 households.

"It's an environment in which builders should be cautious," Smith said. Developers have been focusing lately on starter homes, which sell for $80,000 to $160,000.

But that will be the weakest part of the market because those lower-priced homes are most sensitive to interest rate hikes, he said.

Not only are developers overbuilding, but they are building the wrong houses, Smith said.

When the economy improves and people start moving to Houston with money from selling their costly houses on the West or East coasts, they'll be looking for upscale properties, not starter homes.
