Saving Enough for Retirement?

Saving Enough for Retirement?

Most Americans gives themselves a grade of C or lower when it comes to saving for retirement, according to a new study from TD Ameritrade. The number of Americans who give themselves an A is equal to those who give themselves an F at 12%, the study also found.

Real estate pros, many of whom are independent contractors, particularly may carry the burden of finding retirement plans for themselves and not being able to take advantage of employers’ 401(k) offerings.

The Motley Fool, a financial and investing advice resource, offers some advice on how to turn around your retirement savings. For one, it suggests that you start by figuring out how much you need on a monthly or annual basis. Nearly 60% of Americans say they don’t know how much money they’ll need for retirement.

The Motley Fool offers one way to estimate this: “Those close to retirement can make a budget to see what income they’ll need, then subtract projected Social Security benefits to figure out what their savings must provide. If you multiply that amount by 25, you’ll get a good idea of the total you should save.”

Then, access online calculators to see how much to save each month to reach that goal. Access one such online calculator from Investor.gov.

Financial analysts also stress the importance of setting up automated contributions to your retirement account. “If you have a 401(k) at work, talk with HR or the account administrator to set up your desired contribution,” The Motley Fool article suggests. “If you don’t have a 401(k), you can set up automatic contributions to an IRA through your bank or brokerage firm. Once yu have your automatic contribution in place, don’t change it unless you’re increasing it.”

Housing Inventory Falls

Housing Inventory Falls

Housing shortages abound in markets across the country and that could set home shoppers up for a challenging spring. The nation’s housing supply saw the steepest year-over-year decrease in January in more than four years, dropping 13.6% annually, realtor.com® reports. The supply for homes for sale is now at its lowest level since realtor.com® began tracking such data in 2012.

The housing shortage shows no signs of easing in the coming months either, realtor.com® says. The volume of newly listed properties is down by 10.6% since last year.

“Homebuyers took advantage of low mortgage rates and stable listing prices to drive sales higher at the end of 2019, further depleting the already limited inventory of homes for sale,” says Danielle Hale, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “With fewer homes coming up for sale, we’ve hit another new low of for sale-listings in January. This is a challenging sign for the large numbers of Millennial and Gen Z buyers coming into the housing market this homebuying season as it implies the potential for rising prices and fast-selling homes—a competitive market. In fact, markets such as San Jose in Northern California, which saw inventory down nearly 40 percent last month, are also seeing prices grow by 10 percent while homes are selling at a blistering pace of 51 days.”

The housing shortage is present across price points too. It is most evident in the entry-level market, realtor.com® says. In January, homes priced below $200,000 saw a 19% drop in inventory. Among the mid-tier of properties—those priced between $200,000 to $750,000—inventories fell 12% year-over-year. In the upper-tier of properties—priced at more than $750,000—inventories dropped by 5.9% annually.

As inventories fall, home prices are rising. The median U.S. listing price increased by 3.4 percent year-over-year, reaching $299,995 in January, according to realtor.com®.

Gas Stoves Are Coming Under Fire In Housing Markets

Gas Stoves Are Coming Under Fire In Housing Markets

The gas stove is increasingly coming under attack by some cities who are seeking more ways to fight climate change. A rising number of municipalities want to eliminate natural gas lines from homes and move solely to electricity. That would include swapping out popular appliances that run on gas for cooking and heating.

California started the movement. In July, Berkeley became the first municipality to sign a law banning the installation of natural gas lines in new buildings. More than 20 other California cities have since passed similar laws. Other local governments across the country are also weighing similar moves to cut building emissions too. Internationally, some countries have already taken the steps to ban domestic natural gas. For example, Amsterdam is completely eliminating it by 2050.

Still, “mandating that new buildings, and any large building retrofits, avoid or replace gas infrastructure and install all-electric appliances won’t completely eliminate the use of natural gas in homes anytime soon,” Curbed.com reports about the growing movement. “But electrification is a great tool for those seeking to start cutting carbon emissions.”

An estimated 70 million American households and businesses burn natural gas, oil, or propane for heating, according to the Rocky Mountain Institute. That generates 560 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

“Gas use in buildings presents a significant roadblock to cutting emissions,” Rachel Golden, deputy director of the Sierra Club’s building electrification initiative, told Curbed.com.

Energy experts say cutting out gas can make a big difference. For example, if California went gas-free in all new and rebuilt buildings, emissions from these buildings could be reduced 90% by 2050, according to E3, an energy consulting firm.

Representatives from the energy industry, however, are fighting back against resolutions that try to curb natural gas use. They’re advocating for “balanced energy solutions.” Some homebuilders are voicing concern too about any rush to going gas-free suddenly.

“There have been billions of dollars invested in gas infrastructure that goes to commercial and residential properties,” CR Herro, vice president of innovation for Meritage Homes, a Arizona-based homebuilder that has built all-electric developments, told Curbed.com. “Environmentalists who want to scrap that and spend the resources to build new infrastructure are being really inefficient from a sustainability perspective. It’s become such a buzzword. Retrofits can be rushed, and sometimes older neighborhoods don’t have the electrical capacity to swap out all the gas-powered devices with electricity.”

Co-Living Trend on the upswing

Co-Living Trend on the upswing

Co-living is breaking out from being a niche real estate fad and becoming more mainstream, CNBC reports. The practice is serving as a way to get young adults out of their parents’ house and branch out on their own.

“Many of us thought that during the recovery, as the job market improved, the share living with their parents would peak and start falling,” says Richard Fry, a senior researcher at Pew Research Center. “That has not happened yet.”

But housing analysts believe co-living may do that. Co-living brings together a group of people in a shared space. Kitchens and work areas may be communal areas, but sleeping quarters are private. For young adults on a tight budget, co-living is a way to move out of their parents’ house while keeping their rents lower than living on their own in an apartment. Co-living setups also tend to offer more flexible lease terms.

Forty-eight percent of 690 commercial real estate practitioners recently surveyed by the National Association of REALTORS® have reported an increase in group or co-living apartments.

The number of co-living units is expanding rapidly, CNBC reports. For example, WeWork opened two locations under a brand called WeLive in the U.S. Its units in New York offer studios to four-bedroom units. The units tend to cost less than similar buildings in the area. Other companies, including Haven, Common, Ollie, Quarters, and others, are using similar business models in offering up shared common spaces.

Interest Rates Can Price Some Buyers In, Out

Interest Rates Can Price Some Buyers In, Out

Low mortgage rates can be a cost-savings boon to home buyers. But even the slightest difference in rates can price some out.

The National Association of Home Builders, on its Eye on Housing blog, offers various scenarios of the price differences in affordability with interest rates. For example, take the median new-home price in 2020 of $345,908. The buyer gets a standard mortgage interest rate of 3.75%. If the interest rate moves up just a quarter of a percentage point, it would price about 1.3 million U.S. households out of the market, according to the NAHB’s analysis. The NAHB factored in a 10% down payment as well as an annual premium for private mortgage insurance, property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance into its calculations.

On the other hand, “a reduction in interest rates will price households into the market,” the NAHB says. Recent drops in mortgage rates that started at the end of last year have equated to about 44 million households that can now afford a median-priced new home. The drop in rates has also brought the median-priced new home within range to about 5.2 million additional households in 2020, the NAHB notes.

View this chart from the NAHB to view the difference that interest rate fluctuations can make on affordability.
