Will house prices ever go down?

I don't think they will ever go backwards. What's happening is a market correction.
For a while in the mid 90's into 2003 or so, homeowners were making 10-15 or even 20% annually on their real estate, which is just insane! Since the beginning of the housing industry, you could expect a 5% (or so) gain on your investment annually. That's where the market is heading again.

So to answer you question, no. Prices will not go backwards.



Good Luck!

it is very unlikely that house prices will ever devalue. The only time they may devalue is if there was a "Slump" that was erected in your area or close to your area other factors that may influence devalue is economic instability, crime rate increase, war etc. But if an economy is stable or always developing then property will always increase in price, these factores play a bigger influence in the price fluctuation than those of crime etc.............

Yes, if we have another recession.
However, they will never drop as low as they did during the last one, so as a long term investment they are pretty good, hence the expression 'safe as houses'...

In London, in the late 1980's, people were rushing to buy studio flats at GBP100,000 and taking on 90% mortgages. Then there was a recession and the price they could sell at dropped to GBP85,000. Those who could sit tight survived, because eventually the market rose again and they were no longer in a situation of negative equity.

Those who had to sell lost out because, having sold, they had lost their 10k deposit, and still owed 5k.

The answer is that over the short term prices can drop, but in the long term the trend is steadily upwards. BTW, pundits suggest that property prices in Ireland are currently over-inflated and that a downturn is on the way.

They are definitely slipping, but give it another year and a half. Then buy.

Well eventually even those City bankers will own them all and only be able to sell them to each other unless they lower the price...

We are already seeing a house pricing drop in the DFW area... i believe largely to the fact interest rates are higher. just hang in there it will happen!

There is speculation that housing prices will fall. A house that sits vacant for a while will eventually be lower in price just so it sells.

Usually the price of lands or houses depend mainly on the spread of population and some factors that might act as a stimulant to pric increase ... For example having a park being opened in an area known as being very calm and nice will make prices go high or knowing that this area is only for rich people prices will go up eventually...

But yet, they got to fall one day, it depends on alot of predictions but for sure it will fall ... because continuing increase in prices will cause a non ability to support its buying ... and people will run toward the acceptance of buying at normal places at normal prices. therefore the investors at high priced areas will be forced to move along with lower new prices to stop this loss before it can be severe !

Real estate prices are down in most parts of the country. At least they are in Las Vegas (I am a Realtor in Las Vegas). But they are not crashing and I doubt that they will. Depending on the areas, I have seen about a 5% decrease in home prices. However, there are a few great deals if you look hard enough. I find my clients homes priced well below market plus get the seller to pay their closing costs (2.5% to 3% in Las Vegas). The best deals appear to be pre-foreclosures; people with equity but they have to sell NOW! These homes can easily be 10% to 15% or more below market prices. But they are not easy to find; I ended up writing software to locate them because you have to go through so many homes to find only a few that are really good buys.

Bottom line – I think homes are near the bottom and mortgage rates are still reasonable. I think now is the time to buy.
