The Difference Between A Home’s Cost vs. Price
Let me explain.
There are many factors that influence the ‘cost’ of a home. Two of the major ones are the home’s appreciation over time, and the INTEREST RATE at which a buyer can borrow the funds necessary to purchase their home. The rate at which these two factors can change is often referred to as “The Cost of Waiting”.
What will happen in 2015?
A nationwide panel of over one hundred economists, REAL ESTATE experts and investment & market strategists project that home values will appreciate by almost 4% by the end of 2015.
Additionally, Freddie Mac’s most recent Economic Commentary & Projections Table predicts that the 30-year fixed MORTGAGE RATE will appreciate to 4.5% by the end of 2015.
What Does This Mean to a Buyer?
Here is a simple demonstration of what impact these projected changes would have on the MORTGAGE PAYMENT of a home selling for approximately $250,000 today:

It was another good year for Hilton Head area home sales
Following similar footsteps from 2013, real estate sales in the Hilton Head area for the past year fared well. While not a boom year, 2014 was another solid recovery year.
Last year, home prices posted modest gains, that's two consecutive years of increased property prices, a very positive real estate trend.
The median sale price of area properties for the 12-months period of 2014 increased by 2.3 percent. For the same period, the average sales price increased by 2 percent.
The percent of list price received was 95.4, the same for the past two years. In some plantations and developments, a number of offers came in at the full asking price.
Last year's inventory of homes for sale improved from the year before, up nearly 10 percent. This increase represent a movement from 'not many homes to choose from' to a market approaching normalcy.
Other measures of real estate market activity (e.g., pending sales, and days on market) did not experience major fluctuations.
There were some ups and some downs from 2013 to 2014, which strongly suggested market stabilization, which is a precursor to growing market values.
Interest rates also affect real estate sales. Fortunately, the rates continued to remain low for the entire year, and they are still very attractive.
Two other pluses for Hilton Head and Bluffton areas are our "coastal attractiveness" and the fact that this is a great place to retire, which helps keep the areas economy very strong.
As a matter of fact, Beaufort County continues to be one of the fastest growing counties in the US, with more people, organizations and business moving here on an ongoing basis.
After long 5 years (2007-2011) of depressed real estate sales and declining property values, it's great to see the housing pendulum beginning to move in the right direction.
No one know for sure what will happen with Hilton Head real estate in 2015. However, based upon the past three years of positive market statistics and January's current sales activity, things are looking bright.
Sellers seem confident, out-of-state buyer calls are increasing, and many agents, including me, are busy showing properties.

Ready for a Jolt to the Housing Market?
The strengthening of the economy will drive the housing market forward this year and make up for last year’s “unspectacular” housing activity, according to Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research Group’s report, released Thursday. Stronger wages for many Americans likely will lead to a higher rate of household formation in 2015, Fannie researchers note.
Fannie economists point to several positives in the housing recovery’s favor: Low gasoline prices, stronger labor market conditions, rising household net worth, improving consumer and business confidence, and reduced fiscal headwinds. Fannie economists predict the economy to climb to 3.1 percent this year, up from its prior estimate of 2.7 percent.
"Our theme for the year, ‘Economy Drags Housing Upward,’ implies that both housing and the economy will pick up some speed in 2015, but that the economy will grow at a faster pace," says Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan. "We have revised upward our full-year economic growth forecast to 3.1 percent for 2015, which is not yet robust but still an improvement over last year’s growth. Consumer spending should continue to strengthen due in large part to lower gas prices, giving further support to auto sales and manufacturing. We believe this will motivate the Federal Reserve to begin measures to normalize monetary policy in the third quarter of this year, continuing at a cautiously steady pace into 2016 and 2017, likely keeping interest rates relatively low for some time."
The strength in the broader economy, along with employment and income growth, is expected to lead to a more active housing market, Duncan says. Fannie economists are predicting that home sales will increase 5.8 percent this year, due to low mortgage rates and the gradual easing of lending standards.
"Most of that is likely to come from growth in existing home sales, but we expect the rising share of new home sales to lead to a healthy increase in single-family construction of about 19 percent, or 765,000 units,” Duncan adds. “Although we don’t view this as signaling a breakout year for housing, we do expect to see broad-based improvement in 2015 following a disappointing and uneven year for the housing recovery in 2014."
