A sleepy town in North Carolina has become the victim of its own popularity. Lake Wylie is a lakefront community that has mushroomed in size since the year 2,000. Unfortunately, population growth has outpaced the town’s ability to keep up, and local officials have placed a temporary ban on new development. This is just one example of a city that needs “smart growth” instead of “fast growth.” www.NewsForInvestors.com
In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending February 15th, 2020... the benefits of mortgage shopping, 401k millionaires, and moving for love. www.NewsForInvestors.com
The U.S. has a population problem and it’s not because we have too many people. The nation’s birth rate is declining. It’s half of what it was when the baby boomers were born, and is currently at a record low -- so low, that the incoming generation can’t replace the outgoing one. According to some social scientists, that could have a serious impact on our future -- both socially and economically. www.NewsForInvestors.com
There’s been a lot of worry about the cost of California’s new solar power requirement for new homes. But the January 1st start date has now come and gone, and it appears the mandate has had little impact on home buyer demand. There has been a small decline in affordability for some people, but according to real estate experts, the mandate appears to be a “non-event.” www.NewsForInvestors.com
In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending February 8th, 2020… new lower mortgage rates, the city with a 5-year rent freeze, and a Netflix series about gentrification in Los Angeles. www.NewsForInvestors.com
Concern about the Wuhan coronavirus is pushing mortgage rates lower. That may seem like a weird cause and effect relationship, but there is a good reason for it. The latest rates for a 30-year mortgage have fallen to their second-lowest level in three years. Freddie Mac reported last week that the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.51% and the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was down to 3%. That’s for the week ending January 20th.

Calls for a wealth tax are getting louder because of a growing gap between the ultra-rich and the not-so-rich. Oxfam International released a report ahead of the World Economic Forum that says the world’s 2,153 billionaires have more wealth combined than 60% of the global population. That’s about 4.6 billion people. The global anti-poverty organization also says the wealth gap has a much greater impact on women than it does men. www.NewsForInvestors.com
Chicago landlords have a new tenant screening law to abide by called the Just Housing Amendment. It is now part of the Cook County “Human Rights Ordinance” to help people with a criminal record get housing. Landlords need to know about the required screening process to avoid big fines. There’s also a similar ordinance that was just approved in Oakland, California. www.NewsForInvestors.com
New rules in Cincinnati will force landlords to provide security deposit “options” to tenants. It’s the first such ordinance in the nation to help tenants who can’t afford a large cash deposit. The new rules are not sitting well with some landlords who say all-cash deposits are necessary to help protect their properties. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Rental housing has changed a lot in the last decade, and the start of a new decade gives us a chance see where we are today. These trends are crucial for landlords to know about. By putting them all together, it’s easier to see the big picture and whether any adjustments are needed. www.NewsForInvestors.com
The nation sailed by a big milestone in 2019 for the longest economic expansion on record and many economists expect the good times to keep on rolling. But there are plenty of variables looming in the year ahead, and quite a lot of disagreement about which way the wind might blow. www.NewsForInvestors.com
