2011年開(kāi)始的房地產(chǎn)上升周期已經(jīng)正式結(jié)束。簡(jiǎn)而言之:房地產(chǎn)進(jìn)入衰退期,。
7月19日,,我們得知,6月房屋建筑商獨(dú)立住宅開(kāi)工數(shù)為98.2萬(wàn)套,。自今年2月以來(lái)下降了19%,,與2021年6月相比下降了16%。雖然算不上“泡沫破裂”,,但很明顯,,建筑商正在收縮業(yè)務(wù)。從歷史經(jīng)驗(yàn)看,,這說(shuō)明房地產(chǎn)周期發(fā)生反轉(zhuǎn),。建筑商向來(lái)要與存量房競(jìng)爭(zhēng),隨著庫(kù)存激增,,房屋建筑商就會(huì)開(kāi)始減少開(kāi)工,。
“巔峰時(shí)期的歡快已經(jīng)離我們遠(yuǎn)去。曾經(jīng)席卷各大房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)的(房屋)高價(jià)紅利逐漸回吐,。”約翰·伯恩斯房地產(chǎn)咨詢公司(John Burns Real Estate Consulting)的研究主管小里克·帕拉西奧斯表示,。
房屋庫(kù)存將繼續(xù)增加,,新房建設(shè)將繼續(xù)放緩。至少約翰·伯恩斯房地產(chǎn)咨詢公司如此認(rèn)為,,該公司主要向建筑商和投資者提供咨詢服務(wù),。在這一過(guò)程中,房地產(chǎn)持續(xù)衰退(即房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)萎縮)可能拉低泡沫存在地區(qū)的房?jī)r(jià),。帕拉西奧斯稱,,2023年和2024年很多泡沫市場(chǎng)都會(huì)大幅降價(jià),其中包括菲尼克斯,、納什維爾,、西棕櫚灘、拉斯維加斯和奧斯汀等地,。帕拉西奧斯指出,,在愛(ài)達(dá)荷州博伊西,房?jī)r(jià)最早可能在今年12月就會(huì)同比下跌,。
“某些地方的建筑商已經(jīng)(決定)停止?jié)仓前?,澆筑樓板是房屋開(kāi)工的明確標(biāo)志。在某些市場(chǎng)上,,感覺(jué)像是(房地產(chǎn)泡沫破滅),。”帕拉西奧斯說(shuō)。
今年春天抵押貸款利率飆升后不久,,住房市場(chǎng)就陷入了“調(diào)整期”,。很容易發(fā)現(xiàn),利率提升如何讓諸多潛在買家望而卻步,。如果借款人在12月以3.1%的利率獲得50萬(wàn)美元抵押貸款,,每月就要償還2135美元的本金和利息。如果借款人以現(xiàn)在的30年期固定利率抵押貸款平均利率(5.51%)獲得50萬(wàn)美元抵押貸款,,每月就要還2839美元,。
房地產(chǎn)衰退對(duì)市場(chǎng)造成了嚴(yán)重沖擊,不過(guò)各個(gè)市場(chǎng)受到的影響并不均衡,。西部山區(qū),、西海岸和西南部房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)受到的打擊格外沉重??纯磶?kù)存變化就能夠發(fā)現(xiàn):過(guò)去六個(gè)月,,丹佛的庫(kù)存激增了247%,而匹茲堡只有18%,。緊隨丹佛之后的是奧斯?。?20%);科羅拉多斯普林斯(195%),;加利福尼亞州斯托克頓(175%),;還有博伊西(161%)。
實(shí)際情況到底怎樣,?西部房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)恰好也是美國(guó)最“高估”的市場(chǎng)之一,。隨著過(guò)去兩年房地產(chǎn)大規(guī)模繁榮,很多供應(yīng)更緊張的市場(chǎng)上房?jī)r(jià)漲勢(shì)驚人,。過(guò)去兩年,,博伊西的房?jī)r(jià)上漲了53%,也導(dǎo)致當(dāng)?shù)氐姆績(jī)r(jià)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了歷史上市場(chǎng)基本面可以支撐的水平,。事實(shí)上,,穆迪分析(Moody's Analytics)認(rèn)為博伊西是美國(guó)房?jī)r(jià)最“高估”的市場(chǎng)。
穆迪分析預(yù)計(jì),,未來(lái)一年在博伊西和奧斯汀等被嚴(yán)重“高估”的房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng),,房?jī)r(jià)將下跌5%至10%。穆迪分析預(yù)計(jì)全美房?jī)r(jià)同比增長(zhǎng)為0%,。然而如果經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退來(lái)襲,,穆迪分析預(yù)測(cè)被嚴(yán)重“高估”的市場(chǎng)中房?jī)r(jià)可能跌去15%至20%,而全美房?jī)r(jià)將下跌約5%,。
奧斯汀和菲尼克斯等泡沫市場(chǎng)收縮更快還有另一個(gè)原因:投資者,。
過(guò)去兩年,,投資者紛紛涌入美國(guó)房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)。愛(ài)彼迎(Airbnb)房東和夫妻房東等小玩家加入,。炒房客返回市場(chǎng),。有像黑石(Blackstone)一樣的機(jī)構(gòu),還有Zillow之類的網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺(tái),。最受歡迎的地點(diǎn)在哪,?正是遍及西部山區(qū)、西南和東南部火熱的房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng),。
然而,,隨著新興城市房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)開(kāi)始收縮,第一批逃離的也是投資者,。
“投資者有時(shí)喜歡組團(tuán)行動(dòng),。如果2022年的菲尼克斯房地產(chǎn)不再是人們眼中很酷的投資,那就可能迅速對(duì)房屋銷售產(chǎn)生巨大影響,。如果很多投資者決定賣出……那就不妙了,。”菲尼克斯的獨(dú)立房地產(chǎn)分析師約翰·韋克告訴《財(cái)富》雜志,。
當(dāng)然,,本輪房地產(chǎn)衰退其實(shí)是有意為之。
今年早些時(shí)候,,美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)(Federal Reserve)從量化寬松(即購(gòu)買債券)轉(zhuǎn)向量化緊縮(即出售債券),。金融市場(chǎng)上的10年期國(guó)債和抵押貸款利率立刻走高。這正是美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)想要的結(jié)果:如果抵押貸款利率上升,,就能夠讓疫情中推高通脹的火熱房地產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)降溫。
“要我說(shuō)的話,,如果你是購(gòu)房者,,或者是想買房的年輕人,就需要做點(diǎn)調(diào)整,。我們要恢復(fù)到供需正常,、通脹重新降至低位、抵押貸款利率也降至低位的狀態(tài),?!泵缆?lián)儲(chǔ)主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾在6月向記者表示。

帕拉西奧斯說(shuō),,房地產(chǎn)持續(xù)收縮加上態(tài)度堅(jiān)定的美聯(lián)儲(chǔ),意味著衰退注定到來(lái),。從歷史上看,,美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)引發(fā)的衰退始于房地產(chǎn)等利率敏感行業(yè)。通常情況過(guò)程如此:抵押貸款利率飆升迅速導(dǎo)致房屋銷售減少,。然后庫(kù)存急劇上升,,房屋建筑商收縮。隨后,,大宗商品和耐用品需求均下降,。當(dāng)然,房地產(chǎn)衰退也會(huì)造成裁員,。

The housing cycle—which began its upward climb in 2011—has officially turned over. Simply put: We've moved into a housing recession.
On July 19, we learned that homebuilders broke ground on 982,000 single-family homes in June. That's down 19% since February, and down 16% from the same month in 2021. While it's hardly a "blow out," it's clear builders are cutting back. Historically speaking, that's exactly what happens when a housing cycle turns over: As existing home inventory—which builders compete against—begins to spike, homebuilders start to cut back.
"Peak euphoria is behind us. We are giving back some of the euphoria [home] pricing that was rolling over every housing market," says Rick Palacios Jr., head of research at John Burns Real Estate Consulting.
Existing home inventory will continue to rise, and homebuilding will continue to slow. At least that's the view at John Burns Real Estate Consulting, which does consulting work for both builders and investors. As it does, the ongoing housing recession (i.e. a contracting housing market) could push home prices lower in bubbly regional housing markets. Indeed, many bubbly markets, Palacios says, are barreling toward price cuts in both 2023 and 2024. That includes markets like Phoenix, Nashville, West Palm Beach, Las Vegas, and Austin. In Boise, Palacios says, home prices could go negative on a year-over-year basis as soon as December.
"Builders are already [deciding] to not pour slabs in certain markets. Which is the technical trigger for a start for a home. In certain markets it will feel like [a housing bust]," Palacios says.
Soon after mortgage rates spiked this spring, the housing market slipped into a "housing correction." It's easy to see how those higher rates priced out many would-be buyers. If a borrower in December took out a $500,000 mortgage at a 3.1% rate, they'd owe a monthly principal and interest payment of $2,135. If a borrower took out a $500,000 mortgage at today's average 30-year fixed mortgage rate (5.51%), they'd get a $2,839 payment.
While this housing recession has hit markets coast to coast, it's hardly even. It's delivering a particularly hard blow to housing markets in the Mountain West, West Coast, and Southwest. Just look at the shift in inventory levels: Over the past six months, housing inventory has spiked 247% in Denver compared to just 18% in Pittsburgh. Not too far behind Denver are Austin (220%); Colorado Springs (195%); Stockton, Calif. (175%); and Boise (161%).
What's going on? These Western housing markets also happen to be among the most "overvalued" markets in the country. As the pandemic housing boom raged over the past two years, many of those markets—which were more constrained supply-wise—saw staggering home price appreciation. In Boise, home prices jumped 53% over the past two years. That took home prices there well beyond what economic fundamentals in the market would historically support. In fact, Moody's Analytics deems it the most "overvalued" market in the country.
Over the coming year, Moody's Analytics expects significantly "overvalued" housing markets like Boise and Austin to see home prices fall 5% to 10%. Nationally, Moody's Analytics expects year-over-year home price growth to be at 0%. However, if a recession hits, Moody's Analytics predicts significantly "overvalued" housing markets could see home prices drop by 15% to 20% while national home prices would fall by around 5%.
There's another reason bubbly markets like Austin and Phoenix are contracting faster: investors.
Investors poured into the U.S. housing market over the past two years. There were small players like Airbnb hosts and mom-and-pop landlords. Home flippers returned. There were also institutional types like Blackstone and iBuyer players like Zillow. Their favorite locales? Hot housing markets throughout the Mountain West, Southwest, and Southeast.
However, as housing markets in those boomtowns begin to contract, investors are the first ones who run for the exits.
"Investors sometimes move in a herd. If Phoenix real estate isn’t the cool investment anymore in 2022, it could have a big and quick impact on home sales. If a lot of investors decide to sell…yikes," John Wake, an independent real estate analyst based in Phoenix, told Fortune.
This housing recession, of course, is all by design.
Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve flipped from quantitative easing (i.e. buying bonds) to quantitative tightening (i.e. selling bonds). Immediately, financial markets pushed up both the 10-year Treasury and mortgage rates. That's exactly what the Fed wanted: If mortgage rates rose, it would cause the pandemic housing boom—which helped fuel higher inflation—to fizzle out.
"I'd say if you are a homebuyer, somebody or a young person looking to buy a home, you need a bit of a reset. We need to get back to a place where supply and demand are back together and where inflation is down low again, and mortgage rates are low again," Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters in June.
According to Palacios, that Fed housing "reset" actually means "falling home prices." While the Fed didn't directly say it, Palacios says many in the industry believe that's exactly what's coming next.
That ongoing housing contraction coupled with a determined Fed, Palacios says, is the perfect recipe for a recession. Historically speaking, Fed-induced recessions begin in rate-sensitive sectors like housing. It usually goes something like this: Spiking mortgage rates quickly translate into fewer home sales. Then inventory rises sharply and homebuilders scale back. Next, demand for both commodities and durable goods falls. Of course, a housing recession also brings with it layoffs.
"The lesson learned in reading [Paul] Volcker's piece, that’s where [the Fed] messed up [in the 1970s]. If you have this red-light, green-light mentality around inflation, then you’re going to allow the psychology of inflation to get out in front of you…If you listen to the Fed over the last month or so, that's what they’re so freaked out about," Palacios says.
