The next 2 months are very predictable, forcasting the next half year is possible, because real estate moves so slow and you have a lot of leading indicators - but beyond that it is speculation and I never go on record with that, even though I think about it quite a bit, and here are some ideas that are "a little bit out there":- inflation may take 2-3 years, maybe longer, for the FED to correct - total compounded devaluation could be 30-50%- home prices will continue to increase at rate of inflation and then some extra for suuply/demand- national home prices trends could split, prices could flatten or declien on the coast and possibly double in the midwest- climate migration will increase (I have clients every month that cite water shortage/ floods/fire/smoke..)- the midwest will see the biggest boom in 50 years- condo's will become the new starter home as SF get too expensive- rents will continue to increase in amount and volume- homeownership rates will decline- social unrest will increase as the wealth gap continues to widen and political extremeism increases (this could get bad)I would not go on record predicting any of this, but in the back of my mind I think they are possibilities.
