房价终于大泄了

楼主 (北美华人网)
去年10月开始看的房,那个时候NJ的好区挂牌价几乎和高峰没有什么变化,当然据AGENT说,还个10%应该没有什么问题。
 
从今年1月初开始,我明显感觉挂牌价竞相下滑,今天你跌,明天我跌,我保存的几个颇有好感的房子,差不多都跌了有10%-15%,如果再还个10%,就有20%OFF PEAK PRICE。
 
实在都有点心痒了,以前可望不可及的房子,现在都AFFORDABLE了,不知道该不该下手。
 
BTW, 我发现,如果买新建的房子,和BUILDER还价,更容易谈下来了。看了WEST NY的一个CONDO, LISTING 687k, 有水景+CITY VIEW, 当场SALES就和我说575就卖给我。VALLEYVIEW AT MONTVALE, 60几万的LIST在54万,还一直说NEGOTIABLE,
 
既然看JERSEY的MM那么多,如果我们一起去买,会不会折扣更大。

的确,我们看到的也是顶级好区都开始跌了,而且抛的很多。。。。 越高级的越难卖。。。最近曼哈顿的统计不是也说Studio和1BR卖得好,价钱很坚挺,可是2BR以上的就很难卖了

我发现livingston的 regency townhouse community 最为惨烈。因为相似的UNIT太多了,BUYER就一两个,所以一个降价,其余的就纷纷跟着降。
 
去年10月LIST在60万,现在更好装修,更好的LOCATION LIST在了52.5万,这个LIST一出,其余的就跟着减价,因为大家都想逃,只有最低价才逃得掉,AGENT跟我们说,这些屋主都是60几万买的,现在亏10万在卖。
 
最可怕的是LIVINGSTON TOWN CENTER的一个TOWNHOME, AGENT 出示了当时的成交价,100万出头,
因为买主加了很多很多的upgrades,现在LIST在699K.
5层的TOWNHOUSE, 有私人电梯,3000SQF的LIVING SPACE ,WALKING CLOSET有一个卧室那么大。小区有室内游泳池&健身房。有兴趣的可以去看看。

这个是WALKIN CLOSET, 太震撼了,有窗户,就和SEX & THE CITY里一样


这个是LIBRARY



小区内有很多精致的店铺

livingston是16%的税率, 不过那里按地价乘, 不算房子价格. 一般地大概8万左右,  都是听说的.  不过地税会随房子估价降的.

我们差不多在NJ NORTH 看房一年多了,(CHATHAM, MILLBURN, WESTFIELD, LIVINGSTON) 真是研究越多越谨慎,其中也有两个房子被别人OUTBID,所以没有买成,不过反而觉得庆幸,因为如果现在再把房子LIST的出来可能ASKING PRICE WILL BE LOWER THAN THE SOLD PRICE BEFORE.

the thing is, when he decided to put down 40% to buy the house, when he had the job, he should save at least some cash in case something bad happen. If he can't afford the house for at least a year without any income, he should not buy it at the first place...

People never need to put 40% equity in the house,  no bank required,  and that's why I feel sympathetic of the owner,  he can cash out anytime before the crash,  but he choose to leave in the house, be the only loser,  not fair.   At least, bank should also share some loss.   Actually for irresponsible people like 0 downpay guys,  bank take all loss.  That's what I feel unfair for this system.

No, even if it is a foreclosure, the morgage company has no right to take out a penny from your saving account, which means if you have zero money down and at the same time you have a million in your banking account, you can always walk away from your property with losing anything... the bad side is, you have no credit and it will be hard for you to get a loan for a while...

我猜那卖主也不会放那么多,  不过看那价格跌的,   估计贷款比卖价都要高不少.   政府救银行对纽约的人来说也算好事了,   这里头都是相辅相联.   希望经济能好起来, 大家多发点钞票, 政府也多收点税.

     No, even if it is a foreclosure, the morgage company has no right to take out a penny from your saving account, which means if you have zero money down and at the same time you have a million in your banking account, you can always walk away from your property with losing anything... the bad side is, you have no credit and it will be hard for you to get a loan for a while...
      
     That's totally different from China ...
      
      
    


It's only true in certain(most) cases. I just learned that in CA, if you refinance, your new mortgage is typically recourse. A recourse loan means that the bank can go after your own fortune. So one needs to see in which state he/her is located in (judicial or non judicial states) and ask for an attorney's opinion on this issue.

that's it theorically true but you will never see a drop in proprety tax. because tax is depending on how much the gov need to spend. it's always going up.
 
地税当然会随着房子VALUE下降而降低,前两天我刚收到我们TOWN发的下季度地税的账单,平均一个月少了快$100.

     看过了,的确有的,整个2楼就是一个MASTER SUITE,卧式超大,WALKIN CLOSET,有人家一个卧式那么大,还有窗户。MASTER BATHROOM都是巨大的那种。
     除了三个BEDROOM,人家还有LIBRARY,所以真的很大。
    
这个简直是我的dream house啊。大WIC,独立library。不敢相信降价到这种程度了。

that's absolutely true, the house value is lower, but county can always raise the rate to keep the property taxes at the same level.

most people say house price will keep falling another 20-30% in 2009(Metro area). the bottom will be in 2010-2012. after 2012, the house will appreciate a little bit, around 3-4%,just beat the inflation rate.
 
why you pick maplewood, bergenfield and teaneck? as far as i know, these towns are not in the decent area

先在的建筑设计公司,对半开人的多得很。
很多建筑项目都被hold乐。开发商从银行贷款不到钱。
 
再不把房子卖出去。
估计都要死悄悄了。

That one is sold?  But you said that area is not very clean or has some other disadvantage.  Livingston's price looks still very high.

I think it is a stupid policy, simply awarding those home owners who should not get a house at the first place.  Those people are not sustainable.  Saving them will not save the market.
 
IMHO, the 15000 credit to buyers are the right way to move the market.  In the end, it is the buyers who move the market, not those deliquent home owners.
 
US is no longer a free market.
