#YourStoryIsOurStory

Life happens fast. New job. New baby. A new chapter. When the Williams family grew out of their starter home, my job as their Windermere agent was to do more than find them a house that worked. My job was to find them a home that fit.

A home to create new memories and tell old stories. I’m honored to have found the Williams family their new home.

And proud to have their story as part of my story.

BUBBLE

TALK

by Matthew Gardner

Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate

Exactly 10 years ago this month, Alan Greenspan was asked if he had any concerns regarding the housing market. At that time, he emphasized that he saw no sign of a nationwide housing bubble, but he did have concerns over “froth” in the market and pointed to a big increase in the purchase of investment properties— particularly in second homes. As a result, he said, there are “a lot of local bubbles” around the country, but not at a national level.

16 W I N D E R M E R E . C O M

As we are all very much aware, he, along with many other esteemed economists, was incorrect in his prediction that there was no national housing bubble in sight.

So here we are, a decade later, and some are starting to suggest that we are on the verge of another “bubble” bursting due to an overheated housing market. I’m often asked if there is any truth to this, and my response is no, I don’t believe there is a national bubble on the horizon. And here are the reasons why:

LENDING STANDARDS REMAIN VERY STRINGENT. Banks actually did learn a lesson from the collapse of the housing market and remain wary, and because of this, qualifying for a mortgage remains difficult. For example, in June of this year, the average FICO score required for an approved conventional home loan was 757 with a 20 percent down payment. The average FICO score for someone who was denied a loan (with
