Now, let's take a look at what is expected in 2018:
The 2018 Forecast is for more of the same.
There have not been many changes to the U.S. economy. That all changed with the new tax bill that was signed into law on December 22. The mortgage interest deduction was lowered from $1 million to $750,000. Equity lines of credit are no longer deductible. State and local property taxes deductions are capped at $10,000.
The cards seem to be stacked against Californians and, more specifically, Orange County residents. Yet, with a chronically anemic inventory and demand juiced by historically low-interest rates, the tax bill will not have a major impact on the local housing market like so many fear.
The bottom line, 2018 will feel a whole lot like 2017 with not enough homes on the market and buyers tripping over each other to purchase. Multiple offers will be the norm for homes priced below $1 million. Once again, the market will heavily favor sellers and buyers will have to pack their patience to isolate their piece of the American Dream.
