Has The Worldwide Property Crash Begun?


Has The Worldwide Property Crash Begun?

Property prices are tumbling in the US, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and the UK.

Higher interest rates and borrowing costs are hitting the property market across the globe.

The FT reports that there will be a global property meltdown this year, especially in overheated markets like Canada and New Zealand.

The property market in China is now at the slowest pace since records began in 1992 – down 26% last year.

Home prices in several US cities are crashing, following a recording boom from 2020-22, including Houston, Sacramento and Las Vegas.

The cost of a 30-year fixed rate mortgage hit 7% recently, more than double the rate in 2022 and the highest since 2008.

Mortgage demand in the US is at its lowest for 25 years and house sales fell by a quarter last year.

Denmark has suffered the biggest fall in a decade, where house prices fell 3.8% in the third quarter of 2022 despite an interest rate of 1.75%, according to Yahoo Finance. In neighbouring Sweden, house prices have crashed by 20% in the last five months, say Yahoo.

Prices have fallen for the fifth consecutive month in the UK, where fixed mortgage rates reached 6% last year pushing affordability beyond the reach of average buyers.

Average property prices are close to ten times average incomes and much higher in parts of London and the south east of England.

Renters are also leaving London in droves to escape unaffordable rents and in search of cheaper properties to buy.

The Bank of England increased base lending rates by 0.5% last week to 3.5% in a bid to control the inflation their actions largely caused.

UK mortgage rates fall below 4%

Virgin and HSBC are offering fixed rates at 3.00% as lenders slash rates to stimulate demand. However, the headline rates required a 40% deposit and are usually for residential mortgages as opposed to buy-to-let loans.

Experts believe the property market will fall this year, but not at the same rate as in Sweden and Denmark.

Despite demand for housing in the UK, prices in popular areas are unaffordable and will have to come down unless the market simply stagnates. Transactions are down by 30% and buyer enquiries are at the lowest level since 2008 (excluding 2020).

Like the overheated stock markets, property markets regularly go through a 10-12-year boom and bust cycle. The current boom has been fuelled by an unsustainable central bank money printing on an industrial scale since the 2008 financial crash.

Happy Valentines Day!

Higher Interest Rates: How Central Bank Decisions Impact Borrowers, Save...

Higher Interest Rates: How Central Bank Decisions Impact Borrowers, Savers, and the Economy

Central banks in the US, UK, and EU have recently raised base interest rates in response to rising inflation. In the UK and EU, interest rates have gone up by 0.5%, while in the US, they have increased by 0.25%. This move by central banks is aimed at combatting inflation and maintaining the stability of the economy.

Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When inflation rises, it erodes the purchasing power of money, making it more expensive to buy the same goods and services. Central banks raise interest rates as a means of slowing down economic growth, reducing inflation, and maintaining the stability of the economy.

Higher interest rates have already had a massive impact on borrowers and savers. For borrowers, such as those with mortgages, personal loans, or credit cards, higher interest rates can mean higher monthly payments and increased debt. On the other hand, savers benefit from higher interest rates as they earn more interest on their savings deposits.

The recent interest rate hike by central banks is likely to have an impact on the stock market and the real estate market. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which can slow down economic growth and reduce consumer spending. This can lead to a decrease in the demand for stocks, potentially leading to a decline in stock prices. In the real estate market, higher interest rates can increase the cost of borrowing, which can slow down the pace of home buying and reduce demand for homes.

In conclusion, the recent interest rate hike by central banks in the US, UK, and EU is aimed at combatting inflation and maintaining the stability of the economy. It is important for both borrowers and savers to be aware of the potential impact of these interest rate increases and adjust their financial strategies accordingly.

Hundreds of thousands of UK mortgage borrowers are reaching the end of fixed rate deals each month. Many will face difficulty paying much higher rates and some will not even qualify for a new rate under the lender’s ‘affordability’ criteria based on higher payments.

If you are experiencing difficulty in keeping up with your mortgages, loans or credit cards, there are a number of steps you can take.

1.      Firstly, talk to your lender and explain the situation, rather than waiting for them to chase you.

2.      Secondly, you can ask the lender to temporarily switch your loan to interest only or a cheaper rate.

3.      Set up a plan to clear or reduce your higher interest debts, like credit cards.

4.      Finally, you can talk to regulated debt advisory firms or charities to negotiate with your creditors.
