  1. Housing 2020: What is Shaping the Future of Housing in Virginia

  2. Problems emanating from the housing market forced financial institutions to take massive write-downs on their mortgage portfolios, igniting a broader banking crisis. Amid fears about the strength of banks and severe losses of both housing and stock wealth, consumer confidence plunged 41 percentbelow its lowest previous trough. Households slashed their spending and—for the first time on record—cut their net borrowing.State of the Nation’s Housing 2009

  3. Where we’ve been in the last 5 years • Our housing market has been defined by the housing crash over the past 5 years. • Over 100,000 homes foreclosed in Virginia • Construction of new homes nearly came to a halt • Sales of existing homes dipped to record lows • Nearly 25% of mortgages in Virginia are underwater or near underwater • The homeownership rate began to decline for the first time

  4. After several false starts, there is reason to believe that 2012 marks the beginning of a true housing market recovery. State of the Nation’s Housing 2012

  5. We’re beginning to hear noises that we’ve reached a major turning point in the housing market — and that, with interest rates so low, this is a rare opportunity to buy. But are such observations on target? It would be comforting if they were. Yet the unfortunate truth is that the tea leaves don’t clearly suggest any particular path for prices, either up or down. Robert Schiller, NYT, January 26, 2013

  6. Housing 2020: Why? As traumatic as it was, we need to look beyond recovery from the Housing Crash There are sweeping trends that are re-shaping housing in seismic ways. Our housing markets and products will be affected. Understanding these trends and their impacts will help us prepare our communities to take advantage of them.
