I think it depends where we live. In California, Florida and Phoenix, there is solid panic. People are trying to unload their crappy houses onto the market in great numbers. Definetely a sign of panic.

In New Jersey, for instance, we are between fear and panic. There are homes in the market, but most are still holding on.

My take is that when the jobs start to fade away, panic will set in and housing prices will crash in the North East.

Desperation...definitely not yet panic.....that's coming with the pick-a-pay option ARM crisis beginning 2009.
Those poor bastards are beyond help, many have ARM 2nds and HELOCs behind their exploding 1st ARM..
Now that's going to be panic... Hold on for a wild ride...and keep your treasure buried, avoid the falling knives all around you

The stock market went back up the curve to somewhere between denial and euphoria.

If your house is on the market, I'd say "Panic". The house across the street has been for sale since mid-January. Lots of yelling last week, then 2 police cars showed up. I wish they'd lower their price and get out of here.

Folks, party central for the housing bubble was never in S. FL or Phoenix - it was in "the OC" CA. Yep, mortgage alley, home to New Century Financial, Ameriquest, and a host of others.
Unlike other locales, they had so much punch in the punch bowl, folks have been a bit slow to stumble out the door. However soon there will be car wrecks up and down the street.
The OC has defined RE trends and prosperity for the last few decades - where the 1st national RE franchise began (Century 21), where Coldwell Banker is HQed... the list just goes on and on.
When the OC crashes that will be the fire bell in the night - and panic will ensue. I've been doing some research, pulling up docs from the title companies and here is some of what I see. Purchase date mid 2000 @ $375K (you don't need to ask the down payment, y'all know the drill). Home refi-ed at end of 2004, appraised at $840K, new 1st of $625K option ARM at 1% teaser, and negative accrual, new 2nd $125K with ARM ( all of these loans were with the Orangeman's Company - hey its OC after all), then they added a $50K HELOC to fund the negative cash flow - its now a rental unit. When the option period ends, the total payments will easily be over $100K per year - and the house probably valued at $550K (currently down to $720K) with liens accrued to $850K,

Anybody believe these folks are going to be paying $100K/ yr (or more, recall ARM financing)when the homes is totally underwater?
Another did the refi to the max game (option ARM, natz) and bought 5 homes in the San Joaquin Valley ( yes option ARM low teaser, of course). So here we have a cascading default scenario.
Bottom line, when the OC, RE Central for middle America, totally hits the skids - and that's coming - panic will set in. The "gains" have been so spectacular there, that there has been enough refi cushion to delay the pain.
When the OC strikes out (mighty Casey at the bat), everyone will know that the game is over and panic will ensue.
Watch what happens in the OC - that's the bellwether and signal for heading into your panic rooms.

Fear

Anonymous said...

I reiterate my objection to this scale as a way to measure the psychological state of the herd through the stages of a speculative bubble because it presupposes that people generally are at least somewhat informed or somewhat care.

Most people are neither informed nor care enough to qualify for any of the categories on this chart.

To the extent that the Amerikan people do fall somewhere on this chart, I would still have to say it's denial. The general populace will not realize that this is more than a temporary economic bilp until the MSM tells them so, and that will not occur until the stock market crashes.

Alternatively, there are people who have been directly affected by the housing cwisis (as Bawney Fwank would say). They have been fired or laid off, are facing a readjusting mortgage, can't get a mortgage, can't get a HELOC, or simply can't sell their house. These people must be in states of mind ranging from denial to despondency.

"Wow! Two Davids on American Idol!" "I wear my sports jersey while eating Doritos and watching NASCAR. I wear it basically everywhere." "The Chief Justice is Donald Rumsfeld, right?"

Real bargains aren't popping up in my specific area yet because the rental market is still decent thanks to the commands at MacDill Air Force Base and their role in the upcoming attacks on Iran before Bush leaves office.

One house (f*cked buyer poster child) entered foreclosure in my neighborhood, but the owner is confident he can argue for an extension with the court. Does anyone know if the courts are that sympathetic in FL?

For sale signs and empty houses are everywhere, but that's only because people are trying to leave to escape the outrageous property taxes. No failed flippers here!

The big unions (county, state, teachers) contracts are coming up for re-negotiations, and the union’s higher-ups KNOW what's coming down the pike, and are adjusting their so-deserved salary and benefit demands accordingly.

Fear. The next step should be "Panic" and then "Desperation". People will Panic then react in desperation.

DESPERATION!!!

"A former Arizona real estate agent is suspected in five armed robberies in San Luis Obispo County, including one of a real estate agent and another at a real estate office."

“He said, ‘Sorry dude, but I’m kind of desperate,’ ” the victim told police. The man was robbed of about $45."

In the Wash DC 'burbs, we're somewhere between Fear and Desperation. You can start seeing homes listed for 50% of their former selling prices. The higher priced areas are trying to cling to some of their former fairy tail pricing, but those are sitting on the market longer and longer. Desperation will set in as those people have a tougher time paying the mortgage with gas for their two BMWs costing $4+ a gallon.

either between anxiety and denial or denial and fear.

Desperation. In my area the prices are starting to fall on the biggest homes. When a big house falls below the magic $500K threshold, it gets snapped up. But it must fall first. For smaller houses I have anecdotes of 10% discounts to the asking price.

Capitulation for these people we know. They filed for Bankruptcy recently but think they can save the house from foreclosure.

And yes, they did refinance themselves into the abyss. Fun while it lasted I guess.

Anonymous said...

The problem with just about everyones commentary and even this graph is it indicated that this is part of a cycle. A bubble is not a repeating cycle, it's a one way street. When dot.com values went from $120 a share to $4 a share and are today at $5 a share, it's not something to try to find an opportunity to try to buy at "the bottom". We are returning to normal valuations, once we return after another 30 to 40% drop, housing value will basically keep pace with inflation. In other words, it will have a real return of zero. There are no "opportunities". People keep thinking of this has a stock market boom/bust cycle. A bubble again is a linear path straight to the pavement.

I'm in Austin,TX...yee haw!

Up until yesterday, I truly believed we were moving quickly from Desperation to Panic.

Not anymore. I think Austin is somewhere between Euphoria and Anxiety.

Reason being....I just spoke with a friend who is a homeowner in the outskirts of town(South Austin, just south of the Ben White highway, LITERALLY butted up against the rail road tracks, so 3rd rate property IMO)

They just got a tax apprasial from the city saying their home is now worth 190k. That means they get to pay the 10% max increase in taxes! But that's not the point.

Last year this same letter said 125k, and they bought it in 2005 for 110k.

So it seems that Austin real estate is experiencing hyper-appreciation, over 50% in ONE YEAR! We're gentrifying some shady parts of town and the potential condo-glut is of Florida porportions.

Austin is always behind the curve, and I don't see this playing out well, but I'll have to be patient and wait until we follow the rest of the nation.

until then.....

Yep, I just got my appraisal too. Its appraised 100K higher this year. 325 => 425. But the new laws cap the tax at a 10% increase per year. A 31% increase in home value.

Texas law restricts equity take out such that you can only spend it on the house.

------------------------------

well, you didn't answer the question but I would guess you are in denial.

What the housing start numbers mean is more inventory coming down the line. Just because more is built doesn't mean more will sell. If anything it means that prices will fall as there is more supply.

Anonymous said...

Fear. It feels like fear. I've been saying denial for quite a while but, unfortunately for two of my married couple friends, they no longer have the luxury of denial.

They aren't going to financially make it and foreclosure is now discussed by them openly. It's happening. It's really happening.

It makes you sad but, to be honest, I knew they couldn't afford their houses, but my wife kept telling me, "You think you know these things, and you don't."

When one of them called sobbing to her, though tempted, I never once said, "Told you dear.....told ya"

It's kinda sad, but I am amazed how perfectly they followed the diagram to financial disaster:

1)Think your house is an ATM

2)Run up enormous debt on the credit cards.

3)Act like you're rich, when in fact you just owe a lot of money.

Between Denial and Fear, since about 70% of homedebtors still think that their cancer home has been going up in value.

They behave as the government and crooks on Wall Street: If you just repeat the lie long enough, the sheeple believes that we've hit bottom or that inflation is low, or that the surge is working.

Bernanke even said with a straight face to Ron Paul that if consumers don't buy imports, there's no inflation. That's why when oil goes up or dow is good news to the stock market; if unemployment is high or low is good news; if inflation is skyrocketing is good news; etc.

Last time I think I said we were passing through Denial or through Fear--but now I think WE'VE SPREAD OUT quite a bit, with some of the stories I've heard.

I think we're getting pretty solid spread between remaining denial and some leading capitulation.

But of course, again, I'm speaking overall and I'm sure it varies heavily locale by locale.

Like a previous poster aluded to, it really depends on area.

I am in the "core" area of Silicon Valley, near San Jose. Despite a price drop of around 20% (depending on county) here, people are still firmly wedged in denial.

The farther out areas like Stockton, Tracy, parts of Oakland, and now areas on the coastline are either in fear or in panic. Further out still, in Sacramento, it is panic and desperation.

We still have a LONG way to go. As another poster mentioned, we have not even begun to touch the option ARM and Alt-A portion of the refinance curve. Which will be a bigger disaster. Exacerbated by the fact that by then, the Fed will have already begun its interest rate hikes to curb inflation. Get ready for a storm.

Housing starts have never been lower on a population basis which is the only way to rationally measure it.

Scared, but no panic yet.

By November, we'll see the panic...

Paul E. Math said...

I think that the rises were so rapid and the declines have come on so quickly that people may still be labouring under the false assumption that sales and prices can just bounce right back. I think this is why anxiety has not become outright panic.

Flippers think that if they can just hang on for another year or, at the most 2, they'll be back to 'normal' double-digit price gains.

The problem with this chart is that it needs to be wider for the housing market to reflect the slower cycles. You need to stretch the timeline out.

Fear here in the bay area....some homes have been for sale for sometime without offers.

October for the stock market and the the housing market should be very interesting.

A friend wants to buy a house in Roseville, but havent been able to because multiple offers are knocking them out. Personally, I think the agent (who is not their representative) says people are buying like crazy....(knife catchers)

I think the stock market is in Denial - they have bi-polar pundits on the right and left saying housing is bad one day and good the next. Check out the latest spin - the latest housing starts numbers - the MSM said it was a surprising turnround. They led with that headline. You dig deeper into the story - apartment construction shot up 36%, not housing. Now that any good news appears, and I mean any, they want to lump us much chastised bitter renters in their 'fake' good homedebtors news?

anon 3:23pm. Those housing start numbers represent the opposite of what you think. Multi family housing starts up 8%, single family housing starts down 2%.

Builders are building for what is coming, people not being able to afford anything but cluster living. Many larger single family houses have close to no value as most families can not afford the taxes and insurance, let alone a mortgage.

Really! want to say between FEAR and DESPERATION. But, the fact is it feels closer to HOPE and RELIEF; as if we're already on the other side.

That being the case, I'd say it's still firmly in DENIAL. People are still buying albeit fewer people, but there are still too many knife catchers. There is still a 100% confidence out there that even if you buy a little too early, in the long run you're going to be happier than if you had not jumped in; so why wait? Why delay the joys of granite countertops and stainless steel?

I find this form of insanity especially true among Middle Easterners (double true for Persian Jews). It has been my experience they will alway pay top dollar for real estate as long as they can get financed. There is something in their culture that tells them to buy land, and keep buying it - as if it is simply impossible to ever overpay. Ironic from the culture that gave us math. As long as there are people who feel this way, it is a self-fulfilling truth. As long as banks finance this perverse lack of economic sense, people will be allowed to make overpaying look like genius.

Tool Flood lyrics

Here comes the water.
All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images
that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.
So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.
This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.
Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.
I was wrong.
This changes everything.
The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.
The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me
in the water.

Grandma here again:

I live in a condo (my son rents) here in Colorado. Units are about 20 years old. Nothing special. All the same, 2 bedroom, one bath, wood structure, about 120 units. In our little block, the prices ranged, in last 3 years, from 88 K to 140K. The guy downstairs redid a few things in his kitchen 2 months ago and has his listed for 113K. A young woman over a bit sold hers for 132 last fall. Our landlord bought his 2 years ago for the 140K. He's a young guy who is well educated, but he's a young guy...I can't see him getting his 140K. The lady next to us bought hers last fall for 98K. Our unit is average.
Nothing to make someone want to pay what you'd have to pay. The tenant on the bottom floor pays 200 dollars a month lower than us: I saw the ad on craigslist. Didn't anybody look at the tax info? It's right there....My God, what a shock everything is going to be. One big event...Even on CNBC or Bloomberg the other day they said the Fed has already put out 60% of the money it has available to grease the wheels.
I don't think it's going to be a happy Thanksgiving.
