By now, most of us have heard something about Brexit (British Exit). In a sentence, Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU) in a historic referendum June 23.
The effects of Brexit are being heard around the world. Britain has the world’s fifth-largest economy and is one of the United State’s biggest trading partners. After the vote, Britain’s pound dropped to a 30-year low prompting Americans to change vacation plans to visit Britain and take advantage of the low prices. Our stock market took a hit by dropping over 600 points. Oil dropped and gold rose after the vote. Currently, BBC News reports shares are taking a dramatic slide as fears over Brexit continue to grow.
It seems strange that a vote across the ocean could affect American housing prices but the global economy is very interconnected.
Last December, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since the recession and was expected to make four more hikes this year. Last week, Fed officials voted to keep the mortgage rates on hold citing risks of a Brexit the main factor. With Brexit an actuality, mortgage rates are expected to fall to an ultra-low amount.
Lower mortgage rates generally mean higher home prices. The low rates enable homebuyers to afford a more expensive home with the same income. Home prices have been slowly moving upward from a national average of $134K in 2011 to $176K in March of this year (end of first quarter).
Many analysts conclude that Britain’s exit may cause an added demand for American real estate, both residential and commercial and especially in our major cities. Investors from around the world have been increasing their real estate holdings in the U.S. over the past few years gaining an insight and appreciation of realized profits.
These same investors are expected to now look at America’s real estate market as a good alternative to the London market. London has long been considered a haven for the global rich. It’s predicted major companies and banks in London will move their offices to Germany and France in the near future to avoid disruption to their European business which, in turn, will create instability and uncertainty.
Real estate investors don’t like the uncertainty over what new rules regarding foreign investment post-Brexit might be. This is a real concern that will further push investors to a more stable U.S. real estate market translating into U.S. residential and commercial property prices to rise.
Denver home prices were already predicted to rise 7.7% this year and that was before the Brexit vote. Denver (and surrounding areas) is one of those major cities investors may be headed to. The average home price in Colorado is $301,200. Home values have risen 12% over the past year in our state. Colorado already has a red-hot real estate market and predictions post-Brexit apparently will make it even hotter.
Competition with foreign investors in the Colorado market can lead to real estate issues, as current U.S. buyers and investors often make hasty real estate decisions and purchases in order to compete in a hot market.
