The Uptrend Has Started... And You Are Missing Out... Why?

By Dr. Steve Sjuggerud
Thursday, May 24, 2012

My friend, don't miss out...
 
I realize I have been pushing you on this idea all year... but I have a good reason.
 
I've been pushing this idea because it is probably the best investment most American households can make right now – with the potential for huge, tax-free gains and extremely limited downside risk.
 
As of this month, the numbers actually confirm what I've been writing about...
 
The latest numbers are out, and existing home prices are up 10% year over year – the largest jump in home prices since 2006. (New homes, a much smaller portion of the market, are up 4.9% year over year.) 
 
There's no denying it now. The real estate market is improving. The uptrend has started.
 
Now is the absolute perfect time to buy a home.
 
One of my favorite indicators for tracking what's going on in housing is homebuilder confidence. My favorite measure of this just rose to a five-year high this month... This number has more than doubled since September.  
 
Homebuilders are becoming more optimistic because the sales are coming in... For example, luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers just reported a 14% increase in bookings from a year earlier.
 
Meanwhile, home prices are cheap, cheap, cheap! Homes are more affordable than at any time in American history...
 
The median home price in my home state of Florida now is just $144,350. At current record-low mortgage rates (3.79%), that translates into a monthly payment of $671 a month. (That's principal and interest.) Unbelievable! 
 
If the median household earns $48,000 a year (to keep the math easy here), that's $4,000 in income a month. Surely, with $4,000 a month in income, the median Florida household can afford a $671 house payment on a median home.
 
This relationship between income and monthly house payment is what I mean when I say housing is more affordable than ever in America right now.
 
All year, I've been telling you that you need to get out there and buy a home, if it makes any sense at all for you. Right now, the numbers are finally showing what we've been waiting for... Things are getting less bad (at the very least). This is the lowest-risk, highest-reward moment to get in...
  
•   You have the value – housing is more affordable than ever.
•   Things are getting less bad. And...
•   Now, finally, we have the uptrend.
 
This is it...
 
If you want to "catch the bottom" in real estate, then today is your day.
 
It's here.
 
The bottom will be in your rearview mirror very soon, if it isn't already.
 
So if you have any possible need for a new home, and you want to get it at a rock-bottom price, don't wait...
 
Today is your day. Now is your moment. Go out and get your dream house, at the best price it will ever sell for, right now.
 
Good investing, 
 
Steve

"I believe you can get the deal of a lifetime, right now, if you're simply willing to go find it," Steve says. "But the window of great opportunities is closing fast..." 
 
"From my experience, this area is a minefield," Brett Eversole writes. "But you only need to find one gem to get an unbelievable deal." 
 
Brett shares a new piece of evidence for the incredible value in housing. "It clearly shows that housing is an even better deal than you thought, " he writes...

Market Notes


THE HATED U.S. DOLLAR IS STILL WINNING THE "LEAST UGLY" CONTEST

Despite lots of pessimism... and despite its problems... the U.S. dollar is still winning the "least ugly" paper currency contest.
 
As we mentioned last week, the U.S. dollar is the subject of a big financial debate. Bears say the U.S. is under a crushing debt load... which will push the value of the dollar lower and cause it to lose its "reserve currency" status. (The world's "reserve currency" is the one most people use to conduct business.) Bulls say the U.S. is doing just fine... so keep owning dollars.
 
We urge readers to think about the huge thing going for the dollar bulls: The competition stinks as bad as the inside of a fake leg. The competition is also ugly. The European Monetary Union (home of the euro) is unraveling. Japan (home of the yen) is in terminal, long-term decline. And China's financial system (based on the yuan) is many, many years away from being as robust as the U.S. system. We'll say, "Sure, the dollar has problems... but its competition has worse problems."  
 
Today's chart shows the dollar is still winning the "least ugly" contest. The euro just struck a 21-month low. Fear of a euro breakup is rampant (it should be). This has caused a flight of capital toward the dollar. The greenback just hit a 52-week high.
