When supply side economics encounters a supply problem
Nov 29, 2023, 9:46 AM
|
|
Been saying this forever. The Inflation we have is supply driven. It's not people flush with money driving prices up (demand). But the housing supply crisis is ongoing. I would suggest builders start building smaller, cheaper houses to ease this mess that will probably take many years to stabilize.
No one is selling. And not enough builders are building, especially houses people can afford. They're still building large 3% and 4% homes in an 8% market. Makes no sense.

Been saying this for a while: you have to start with zoning reform.

No point in building smaller on a large lot restricted to SFH because the land price is going to eat away at any value in building smaller dwellings. So long as developers are restricted to SFH, they're going to build as big as they can on lots.

If you're in your 20s or early 30s, single or newly married -- there is increasing demand for living in a walkable neighborhood in a city. The explosion of development in the South End of Charlotte would prove my point.

make me ancient; it makes me someone who has to work in the morning.
I feel sorry for anyone who chooses to buy a house in a "high density" zoned area.
Downtown CHS is also filling up with Condos/APTS/Whatever you want to call them. Its the high rent/high regime fee area. I'd bet 70% of the people who live there don't want to live there; but it seemed like a good idea to begin with. That the answer with 100% of the very few people I know who have bought/lived in one.
A young couple, especially one that is planning on kids...doesn't want to live in essentially an apartment.

Can't speak for elsewhere but there's been a shift from big single family home construction to townhome/condo construction in my area. Presumably in response to higher rental rates forcing people who now can't afford those single family homes into purchasing townhouses.

Those very same folks were getting the hell out of cities in 2021.
Do you have some business interest in high density homes? I've seen you espouse this fanaticism over living on top of someone you don't know before, and never understood why.

More big cities in the South. They're not leaving because of high density living. They're leaving the North and the cost of living there, and looking for similar city access/life without the costs. And that's just one demo. Young adults want the city experience, for however long. Again, look at the South End of Charlotte and the number of cranes you'll see putting up apartments. There is also a ton of infill housing with zero yard -- again, because that's what's in demand.
My stanning for high density housing isn't fanaticism. It's a proven, pragmatic approach to housing affordability, which is both based on the economics of supply/demand, but also reflective of changing preference for housing. There will always be demand for SFH homes with yards and privacy. We left the South End of Charlotte for that. But the same people complaining about housing costs are the same ones who think building more SFH is going to bring them down.

Nov 29, 2023, 11:24 AM

not because it's more preferred over any size house.
I've been looking to buy a rental for a while, and am primarily looking at one area for a condo. If i could afford to buy a second home to rent out, I would. I don't prefer to buy condo...its just that its cheaper.
And this idea of wanting to "live in the city" stuff you keep saying I just don't see, at least not en masse. Maybe it's different here; I dunno. Younger people I meet in bars and restaurants in Mt Pleasant (and I go out quite a bit and meet a lot of folks of all ages) that can't afford to live here uber from other areas like West Ashley or James Island or even downtown. They ride right through the "city" to get here.

I'm going to trust their read of the market, and what people are demanding, because they have millions tied into developments and don't often build housing people don't want to live in. They do a ton of market research, and build where housing trends are heading.

airbnb's, wall street buying swaths of houses at a time, and now there is low inventory because people in <=3% mortgage rates don't want to sell, so housing prices continue to go up even more.
None of that had anything to do with housing prices going up?
Well then it only makes sense it was all zoning regulations that caused it. /Sarcasm

I never ignored it; supply is the root of the issue.
Nov 29, 2023, 12:25 PM

But supply being a problem is certainly not because of overly restrictive zoning regulations.
Developers are building rectangular concrete monoliths with ridiculous regime fees because simply, that's where the money is. Much like you living in an apt rather than a house when you were 20...people can't afford the houses that are available.
If zoning regulations were as restrictive as you say they are, the CHS skyline wouldn't look like they are building a massive prison system downtown.

He lives in Dilworth, which actually is pretty average density.
Nov 29, 2023, 3:36 PM

Very similar sized lots to the average tract development, but with much larger homes typically at this point (after all the teardown and rebuilds or enlargements have occurred). People in Dilworth aren't giving up space typically.
They are giving up the ability to leave the lawn mower in their front yard unattended for more than 20-30 minutes without it walking off.

But the spillover of South Blvd. development into Dilworth definitely makes it a high density area. I don't know the last time you've been in the South End, but it is truly unrecognizable even to me who lived there six years ago.

If you tell Alex he lives in South End I suspect you'll get a quick "ahem....Dilworth". Not trying to be Hairsplitter McPedantic, but Alex's hood is a bad example of the trends you're wanting to demonstrate. People move there for the prestige and historic homes as much if not more than for a love of urban planning, and while your Prius driving low to middle-middle classers who worried about their carbon footprint could afford to move there through the 90's and the aughts, that option no longer exists.
It's like Augusta Rd in Greenville or North Main......sure it's close to downtown, but people want to be 29605-ers because it's a ritzy area to live.
Now if we want to talk about a true South Ender living in a high rise next to the trolly stop, I'd be curious who you're seeing buy those. Here in Nashville in those true urban areas (and we have high rises for days now), it's young people and retirees/empty nesters. Very few people choose that environment for raising a family.

As soon as he turns onto South or East Blvd., he's dealing with the impact of density from the South End. And I'm using him as an example of someone with the means to move, but so far hasn't, because I suspect that the proximity to uptown is more preferable to less density and a longer commute.

If you want want both of those in Charlotte you can pay $1-2M for Dilworth or $3-4M+ around Queens Rd.
There isn't a high cachet neighborhood with early 1900's Craftsman bungalows in Waxhaw that he's choosing Dilworth over.

I'll try once more. If you're in Dilworth, you aren't experiencing "Density"
Nov 29, 2023, 4:36 PM
|

Traffic and clogged infrastructure is hellallover Charlotte, whether you're all the way down Independence Blvd in Weddington or in Dilworth.
The lot sizes in Dilworth are pretty much exactly the same there as in new housing in Weddington. "Density", whether viewed positively or negatively, is a moot point when considering Dilworth.
You have a quarter acre, 2000-2500 sq feet, a driveway and/or a garage, and zero walls, floor, or ceilings shared with anyone else. That's not a situation where you're overwhelmed with feelings of density.
The people truly in actual South End in a building with 100 other units and a direct neighbor to almost every wall in their apartment who have to circle the block or a parking deck multiple times for a spot and a tiny balcony as their only private outdoor space.....those people are choosing "density".

And now you get why people are moving into apartments. If there is a "trend", its because they are cheaper than houses. It's not a trend anyone wants, even the people who live in them. Ask a few of thos trend setters if they'd rather live in a house, or in a condo with 400 of their best friends living on top of them.
People are also living in campers, and I doubt many want to do that, either.

People who can't afford houses? Young Couples starting a family? Or 20 years olds who want to party?

Than an apartment complex due to the inherent stability and benefits they offer, right? Apartments and townhomes are a detriment to communities, for the most part. And the ones that aren’t sure as hell aren’t affordable.

Not to mention the general crime/traffic increases they usually bring. It’s not so much cost of living, but quality of living most people are concerned about. I thought multi family dwellings were supposed to help with cost of living, anyway?

Apartments have their place, and maybe Charlotte is one of them. But overall they are absolutely a detriment to the community they are built in. They're money makers for developers and that's about it, nobody is having their standard of living raised, nor is it becoming more affordable.

Higher vacancies don't exactly go hand in hand with economic prosperity for an area, the reality is you want some level of scarcity to maintain rent levels to keep an area nice. That's also coming off the heels of huge real estate price/rent increases, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
In my area housing has quadrupled at minimum, yet property and rent only increases exponentially. That's the case for most areas that aren't city centers. And then surrounding property owners get to foot the bill for new schools, roads, and other infrastructure necessary to support the increase in population. Which is kind of bulllshit considering they're the ones with skin in the game, the apartment renters can move on like locusts whenever they want.

doing? It has zero to do with what I want. I already have what I want.
I find it VERY hard to believe that given the same costs, someone would choose living in a condo complex vs living in their own house.
Its very similar to teh choice of having a roommate vs NOT having a roommate.

bias.
If we isolate the renting/owning variable, and just say where people would prefer to rent. Most, or at least a sizable percentage of people (that skews heavier the younger you go), would prefer to live in bigger complexes with less space if it came with more walkability and greater entertainment access, than bigger units with fewer neighbors at the cost of longer commutes and less social opportunity.
Isn't that why you lived in Mt. Pleasant, than say Goose Creek? Surely you could have afforded more for less out there.

Doing my due diligence on the place, I found they don't have reliable internet. As I work from home, I require a primary and backup internet source. Neither is available. Hughesnet satellite is their only choice, or at least it was when I looked.
Frankly, I'm not going to live in Goose Creek. I don't like it there, and its too far from the ocean. You may choose to, but I'm not.
I mean if you are going to use that logic, I could have chosen a million places to live. How about in Hell's Half Acre, Wyoming? Or why not Warm River, Idaho?
If I could have afforded it, I would have stayed in Isle of Palms. Maybe they'll build some massive condo complexes for me to live in.
Pfftt That will never happen outside of Wild Dunes. The town knows better than to let something like that happen.

Best decision I ever made was downsizing from a nice house with a big yard to a nice townhouse since I've gotten older. So much more extra money and way less time keeping everything up for a house that was too big for our needs.

Guess you never heard of CRA
Nov 29, 2023, 11:18 AM
|
|
"The government has promoted bad loans not just through the stick of the CRA but through the carrot of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which purchase, securitize and guarantee loans made by lenders and whose debt is itself implicitly guaranteed by the federal government. This setup created an easy, artificial profit opportunity for lenders to wrap up bundles of subprime loans and sell them to a government-backed buyer whose primary mandate was to "promote homeownership," not to apply sound lending standards."

too long, the pandemic allowed for remote work so people left undesirable winter locations for other places they wanted to live, wall street got involved in buying houses to turn into rental units, and grandpa down the street was buying every run down house in 50 miles at 2.x% interest to turn them into airbnb's.
If you really want to believe in some deep state voodoo about "the great reset" go ahead, but the real "great reset" about "owning nothing and liking it" was actually done buy a bunch of people that were warning us about the WEF coming after us...while they were the ones busy buying up all the housing causing prices to go up availability to crater, forcing those who wanted to buy a house...to rent.

And zoning is restrictive that doesn't allow for more inventory to be built.

And before you shoot your mouth off again. There was a single home down the street that sold, and was originally planned for a dozen townhomes. Community pushback struck down the plan. Now there are four mcmansions built, with no yard, costing about $1.75M each.
What's more to blame here? Lack of by-right development, or low interest rates?

"restrictive zoning is the cause of all the problems1!"
Yeah, tear down that park and build condos! That's what everyone REALLY wants!

You don't need to be a developer to understand supply/demand.***

6 houses on an acre of land, a small condo building, or 2 SFH houses.

That's not *My* preference.

Unlike you, I can understand the housing market is multi-faceted with preference, and what I want as someone in my late 30s is likely fundamentally different than say someone starting their career, or a young family who has no desire to spend their life in a car commuting.

Housing supply is low, and demand is high. That increases prices. There is no one-solution to fit this, but failing to address supply by building more housing is a fundamentally stupid idea. By doing things like reforming zoning restrictions (sqft. mins, parking mins, dwelling maxes) and strengthening by-right development, you enable developers to build more houses. This is especially true in major metro markets were existing space is harder to come by. But improving these aspects of developments, you allow developers to take a parcel with a SFH that would not change housing supply, and replace it with MFH (townhomes, Xplexes, condos, apartments) that adds multiple units to the housing supply.
That is basic ass math.
You may argue that people don't want this, but that is a personal opinion shaped by your experience. It is not what developers in these markets are seeing and saying. If you can't accept or understand this, whatever. I don't care. I fall back instead on the basic ass math.

I think most would agree that a pre-Wynkoop Clemson is better than a post Wynkoop Clemson.
Wynkoop didn't build condos on college avenue for any altruistic reason other than lining his pocket. He'd build condos IN Death Valley if he could grease enough Clemson administrators palms to do so.

But, let's say Clemson expanded its enrollment but kept on-campus housing inventory static, and the off-campus inventory stayed static, you, as a student, might appreciate what he's done.

this part? You kinda say people don't want this further up in the thread:

so let's try to simplify here: banking regulations exist to keep banks from doing overtly risky things with their funds. They don't exist to force banks to take on risk that they don't want to.
CRA allowed banks to lend to segments that they wouldn't lend to previously because they owned the risk. When the government takes on the risk for them, they cease giving a shit about the risk of default on those loans. Never once was a bank forced to lend $ it didn't want to lend. Stop being a dumbass.

there's one right down the road that is recently remodeled and by remodeled I mean they redid the hardwood flooring and put in stainless steel appliances. Still the pink and green tile bathrooms from the 60's and the pine plank paneling everywhere.
300K.

The reason housing is FUBAR is because of the federal reserve artificially limiting the price of money (keeping interest low), not to mention endless bailouts whenever real estate lenders screw up.

I respectfully disagree, at a macro level

and we've gone through this before haha. Love you too much to go down the road again.
I will admit that I think you're correct in the microview of the housing market though, to a degree. Inventory levels in specific markets are too low relative to demand. But builders ain't having problems sourcing materials, are they?
There's still a ton of cash out there man. Nextdoor neighbors house sold in 48 hrs, $1.6ish million, cash.
Prices don't just keep going up if there aren't any buyers.
We don't have problems finding materials anymore. We got problems finding buyers. B/c buyers got problems finding cash.
Q4 and Q1 earnings will be extremely impactful, along w/ CPI prints. Retail, CPG, manufacturing, commercial real estate sectors are all on the verge of falling off a cliff.
Interestingly enough, mainstream analysts are predicting rate CUTS next year. To the tune of 1.25 - 1.75%. That's WILD, if you think about it.
