Really good webinar on 2022 State of Real Estate from Greater Los Angeles Realtors ( https://www.facebook.com/GreaterLARealtors @GLA_Realtors). The speakers were Otto Catrina from the California Association of Realtors ( https://www.facebook.com/CAREALTORS @CARealtors) and Steven Thomas of Reports on Housing ( http://www.facebook.com/reportsonhousing @housereports). If you're a member of GLAR, a video of the webinar will be here along with the slides. https://www.greaterlarealtors.com/members/new-updates If you're not a member my summary is below along with most of the slides. 

The biggest issue of course was the Fed interest rate increase of .75%. This has really slowed the housing market which was the intent of the rate increase. The Fed and others expect a target Fed rate of 2.5 to 2.75% in 2023. This rate affects generally shorter term interest rates such as credit card rates, car loans and equity lines. It does affect long term home loan rates but not as directly or quite as much. 

Europe also has inflation but they don't have the Fed controls that the US has. Steven Thomas is not calling a recession right now even though we had two quarters of decline in GDP. He will call a recession if the GDP declines for a longer period. The job market is still strong as is real estate. He uses six factors in determining a recession.

Steven Thomas coined the term the "pandession" which is a combination of the pandemic and recession. It's not a recession. The current market today is affected by the pandemic and lack of balanced supply and demand of homes. Last year was a supply catastrophe. It's still a seller's market but as rates rise, demand slows and supply starts to rise. People don't want to sell because they love their current mortgage rate. If they don't buy a new home after selling, they'd have to deal with high related rent. 

Thomas stated this is not a bubble. There will be no housing crash. People have lots of equity. Home values are still doing well. Most homeowners today have good credit as opposed to 2007/2008 when they gave loans to everyone even people with bad credit. Our issue today is lack of supply though it's changing. 

We have a headwind right now which is slowing things. It will continue to the end of the year but home values won't plunge. Luxury has really slowed. "Luxury market got a cold because of what has happened recently on Wall Street." We may have a recession next quarter but it won't affect housing that much. Not all recessions affect housing. All these comments go along with his slides, charts, research and numbers. 

Below are the slides from first Otto Catalina of CAR then Steven Thomas of Housing Market in chronological order. I missed a few. The slides are larger after the first 20 when I expanded my view. Click to see images larger. If you're in real estate sales or appraising, Thomas' newsletter subscription looks pretty good and it's affordable. I may subscribe as he really has his finger on the pulse of the market. He runs a lot of numbers and makes some great charts and graphs besides giving his experienced common sense commentary. If you're in real estate in Los Angeles, makes sense to join GLAR. If you're in real estate in California, join CAR at least for the forms.

Los Angeles Sixth Street Bridge and Texas Seventh Street Bridge Similarities - Mary Cummins real estate appraiser

After I posted about the new Los Angeles Sixth Street Bridge and viaduct a Texas friend told me it looked like the Fort Worth, Texas Seventh Street Bridge and viaduct. They look very similar. Some facts about both. 

The Los Angeles, California Sixth Street Bridge and Viaduct built 2022 is 3,500 ft long with 20 arches and four traffic lanes. It took six years at a cost of $588,000,000. It replaced the 1930 Sixth Street Bridge and Viaduct.

The Forth Worth, Texas Seventh Street Bridge and Viaduct built 2013 is 1,000 ft long with 12 arches and four traffic lanes. It took four months to build at a cost of $25,000,000. It replaced the 1919, 1954 Van Zandt Viaduct.

Arches are actually a common bridge element. Early bridges back before Roman times were arched for structural integrity. Here's an article on only arched bridges.

The original Sixth Street Bridge built in 1930 below had arches but only two. The LA bridge has arches that go below the bridge driving surface whereas the Texas one does not. Still, they are very, very similar bridges. I think at the very least the LA bridge was inspired by the Texas bridge.
