Rising rental costs may drive home sales up<\/p><\/div>\n

Home sales could turn out sunnier than expected this spring based on data coming out of the rental market, according to economists at the Mortgage Bankers Association<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jay Brinkmann, the trade group’s chief economist, said Thursday that apartment owners have raised their rates, in particular large investment trust Equity Residential<\/strong> ($58.06 0%). That’s coupled with fewer people, roughly 60%, who intend to renew a lease, according to a study by Kingsley Associates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“This means we might see a spring season better than the numbers are predicting,” Brinkmann said at the MBA’s mortgage servicing conference in Orlando, Fla. The trade group forecasts 4.39 million single-family homes sold in the second quarter, already an increase from the seasonally adjusted 4.17 million a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Many Americans ran to rentals during the worst of the housing crisis, pushing home ownership to a 14-year low, and more tenants elected to stay put.<\/p>\n

“The question is not how did (home ownership) fall, but how it got so high in the first place,” Brinkmann said.<\/p>\n

The MBA adjusted its forecast for mortgage origination in 2012 to just more than $1 trillion with more refinances than initially expected, according to Mike Fratantoni, vice president of economics and research. That’s still below 2011 levels and would be the lowest since 1997.<\/p>\n

Fratantoni expects home sales to grow 10% in 2013, though he predicted refinances will drop off considerably as MBA projects interest rates to slowly move off the lowest levels in 40 years.<\/p>\n

Positive employment news, including a continued decline in jobless claims, could impact housing soon, but Brinkmann said uncertainty over business taxes in an election year and European debt could keep growth at bay.<\/p>\n

“Everything is going to be based overall where the economy goes,” Brinkmann said. “This is going to be a slow year. There are a number of headwinds we’re facing in terms of economic growth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
