Below are predictions for real estate in 2014 from Steve Harney at Keeping Current Matters:

Making predictions in what is still a somewhat volatile housing market can be tricky. That being said, we are going to give you what we believe will be the five biggest headlines for housing in 2014.

Home Sales Will Surge

Many housing pundits are calling for home sales to do slightly better in 2014 than they did in 2013. To the contrary, we strongly believe that home sales will skyrocket with increases of 10-15% in 2014.

Supply Will Struggle to Keep Up with Demand

With a dramatic increase in demand, it will be up to real estate professionals and builders to make sure there is the necessary inventory to satisfy this demand. This will be a challenge for much of the year.

Interest Rates Will Increase Significantly

Most experts are calling for an increase in mortgage interest rates in 2014. However, we believe the increase will be more dramatic than is being projected. We believe rates will be closer to 6% than 5% by year’s end.

Consumers Will Demand More from Real Estate Professionals

Home search will become a given to the real estate consumer in 2014. In order to differentiate themselves from other agents, real estate professionals will need to bring strong, meaningful content to the table in all their offerings

Go Mobile or Go Home

Any content strategy the industry contemplates must have a mobile component. All information will be accessed 24/7 in every conceivable environment. The professionals who understand and act on this will dominate 2014.

Great news from this press release:

Oxford, Miss. (Nov. 15, 2013) –The latest FNC Residential Price Index™ (RPI) shows strong growth of home prices during the third quarter of 2013 as the housing recovery continues to broaden across the country. The index, constructed to gauge the price movement among the underlying non-distressed home sales, increased 2.5% between the second and third quarters, making the third-quarter growth the fastest in the current recovery.

Rising home sales and relatively low foreclosure sales are the key drivers of continued increases in home prices. As of September, foreclosure sales nationwide accounted for 13.4% of total home sales, up slightly from August’s 12.7% but down from 16.6% a year ago. Home prices are expected to grow at a more moderate pace in the coming months because housing demand tapers off in the winter. In another sign of slower growth ahead, the leading October sales-to-list price ratio fell to 96.0 from 96.5 in July and August.

FNC’s RPI is the mortgage industry’s first hedonic price index built on a comprehensive database that blends public records of residential sales prices with real-time appraisals of property and neighborhood attributes.[1]  As a gauge of underlying home values, the RPI excludes sales of foreclosed homes, which are frequently sold with large price discounts, reflecting poor property conditions.

Based on recorded sales of non-distressed properties (existing and new homes) in the 100 largest metropolitan areas, the FNC 100-MSA composite index shows that September home prices increased from the previous month at a seasonally unadjusted rate of 0.5%.   In a sign of moderating month-over-month price momentum, September’s price increase has tapered off compared to July and August. On a year-over-year basis, home prices were up a modest 6.2% from a year ago, or 5.7% if measured quarterly. The 30-MSA and 10-MSA composites exhibit similar month-over-month price momentum but faster accelerations in year-over-year growth at 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively.

Twenty-seven metro areas tracked by the FNC 30-MSA composite index show rising prices from August to September, led by Miami, Baltimore, Charlotte, N.C., and Riverside, Calif. – each at about 2.0%. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix also recorded a sizable increase in September at 1.4%, 1.2%, and 1.2%, respectively, after a relatively flat August month. Meanwhile, home prices in Denver declined for the second month in a row after first showing signs of weakening in August. The city’s foreclosure sales picked up slightly in recent months. St. Louis, on the other hand, saw a significant increase of foreclosure sales in August and September, which likely caused the 1.3% drop in home prices. In September, nearly 30% of the city’s home sales were foreclosure sales, up from 19.5% a year ago.

As of September, 15 MSAs have shown double-digit price growth since early 2012. Continuing to lead in the recovery are the markets in high distress during the 2008-2009 mortgage crisis, including Phoenix, Las Vegas, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orlando. The 100-MSA composite showed an 11.0% cumulative price recovery nationwide. In comparison, the recoveries in Chicago, St. Louis, and Columbus are significantly lagging the national average.

Worn out from visiting theme parks? Take a breather from downtown Orlando and visit the 43-acre (17-hectare) Lake Eola Park, located in the heart of the city. The lake is actually an 80-foot (24-meter) sinkhole. Enjoy a concert or play in the amphitheatre, check out the view of the Orlando skyline, or, on Sundays, stop by the farmers market.

The Orlando Sentinel reports….

Orlando has a starring role when “The X Factor” goes live Tuesday. Three acts from Central Florida are among the Top 16 that will perform in the singing contest at 8 p.m. on Fox.

“It goes to show that Orlando is the best-kept secret,” said Rachel Potter, 29, who lived in Orlando six years. “I played at the Abbey over the summer. I hired a band to be my musicians. I’ve worked with musicians in New York and Nashville, and they blew them out of the water. There’s so much talent in Orlando.”

Alex Kinsey, 22, of New Smyrna Beach agrees. “It’s pretty amazing,” he said. “Our area has so much talent to share.”

Kinsey and Sierra Deaton, 22, of Winter Springs perform as the duo Alex & Sierra. The two — she is a University of Central Florida grad, he is a UCF student — are mentored by Simon Cowell.
