A recent post asked about estimating the future value of real estate. It made me think of what I've noticed recently.
How can you determine the value of real estate in the future without knowing the value of the dollar.
At present, it seems like the printing presses are running overtime to print money. What does this do to actual value of RE?
I'm in Cancun at present, 3rd time since 10-09. Each time in the last 3 months, dollar is reciving less in pesos than before. Down about 10% in last few months .
If the RE went up 10% in dollar value, but our dollar loses 10% against other currencies, did we gain anything?
As an owner of a lot of diverse real estate, some with financing, it is a concern to me that our printing presses are running crazy and the spending or give away of the newly printed dollars cause concern. Just curious. If China stops investing and buying our dollars, what will our currency be worth and what changes will that cause in our inflated real estate? Rich
