While our next guest says that's -- -- thirteen it's going to be the year of the real estate boom but with more more foreign investors buying in this and an American dream.
A lot of people American that really into this much they were gonna have -- and -- right now CEO -- realty.
The basis for this assumption you'll look that I know housing is better feels like we hit terra firma.
But there's also a lot of evidence -- that you know Americans are -- it you know first time homebuyers have announced.
This seems more like flippers and speculators really.
Why I think the rental atmosphere kind of strengthened -- the real estate economy lot what you think it would you know I mean so much more expensive to rent them or more states than the buying yet people.
Aren't buying and -- so what's gonna change that.
-- think that there's more houses on the market that are legitimately on market back in 20072006.
There was just an influx of inventory that was not legit.
So that it's it's it's really a situation where there's more consumer confidence the banks are really.
Are more forthcoming on all the lending instruments that are available to you today so and then on top of that they're doing other things like offering more home buyer -- that up or more expensive.
But but what's going to be sort of the inflection what's gonna get people to say all of a sudden someone sitting on the fence any.
What do you think really gets that sparked one with sparks this move that you look at because we're talking about a boom -- -- -- talking about a big -- sure.
-- series sellers at the sellers that are entertaining.
Are below asking price offers are sometimes ten and 20% below the asking price and they're getting them so.
It's what's in -- measure that the housing market has bounced back because do we really want to see prices return.
To those pre housing bubble levels because those are part of the fact propped up like they -- return there I have.
Well what I'm noticing is before we take about three years before person would shop and then eventually bought.
Now -- happening within six months -- years so all that is what really kind of raises my -- balancing.
Have to point out does your business you're in the business your enemy so to this what we call talking your book to a certain degree right I mean by placing -- -- About what kind of role you does that have -- and that's the kind of girl yeah.
Already -- you don't recognize them.
-- it's -- -- because we grew from one location to sixty locations over the past thirty months and mainly it's because of our outlook on the on the recession.
We grew during the boom and mainly because were rental -- company.
But we are booming in sales now all of a sudden.
All right for the Fed last week of some suggestions maybe they'll take away all of this buying and you know maybe -- to start to climb.
Is -- some sort of sense of urgency that you think your industry will be able to pass on the would be a pet sitters and say guys make a move now because I gotta tell you I watch this and I'm happy about what's happening.
Although I don't see the bull might still -- to the boom that you see is or something that the industry itself will do -- convince people jump in now.
I think the deals are to be had now and I think you mentioned the foreign investors private equity -- snatching up all the great deals so it's now -- never.
Our never under that makes for a healthy US housing market -- all our buyers are international stepping in and buying art very cheap house is.
With a very weak US dollar.
Well I just think that it's just action oriented I think that that momentum.
It causes the economy to re stimulate itself especially the housing so.
Anthony we get the housing market -- like to believe that we like the blaming -- -- -- -- equity had nothing but gladly appreciate it -- think our guys time now for your morning -- report by the way have you got most of it on its risk but paragraph down two dollars right now 1646.
