https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/10/20/a-global-house-price-slump-is-comingCitarA global house-price slump is comingIt won’t blow up the financial system, but it will be scary(...) The good news is that falling house prices will not cause an epic financial bust in America as they did 15 years ago. The country has fewer risky loans and better-capitalised banks which have not binged on dodgy subprime securities. Uncle Sam now underwrites or securitises two-thirds of new mortgages. The big losers will be taxpayers. Through state insurance schemes they bear the risk of defaults. As rates rise they are exposed to losses via the Federal Reserve, which owns one-quarter of mortgage-backed securities.Some other places, such as South Korea and the Nordic countries, have seen scarier accelerations in borrowing, with household debt of around 100% of gdp. They could face destabilising losses at their banks or shadow financial firms: Sweden’s central-bank boss has likened this to “sitting on top of a volcano”. But the world’s worst housing-related financial crisis will still be confined to China, whose problems—vast speculative excess, mortgage strikes, people who have pre-paid for flats which have not been built—are, mercifully, contained within its borders.Even without a synchronised global banking crash, though, the housing downturn will be grim. First, because gummed-up property markets are a drag on the jobs market. As rates rise and prices gradually adjust, the uncertainty makes people hesitant about moving. Sales of existing homes in America dropped by 20% in August year on year, and Zillow, a housing firm, reports 13% fewer new listings than the seasonal norm. In Canada sales volumes could drop by 40% this year. When people cannot move, it saps labour markets of dynamism, a big worry when companies are trying to adapt to worker shortages and the energy crisis. And when prices do plunge, homeowners can find their homes are worth less than their mortgages, making it even harder to up sticks—a problem that afflicted many economies after the global financial crisis.Lower house prices also hurt growth in a second way: they make already-gloomy consumers even more miserable. Worldwide, homes are worth about $250trn (for comparison, stockmarkets are worth only $90trn), and account for half of all wealth. As that edifice of capital crumbles, consumers are likely to cut back on spending. Though a cooler economy is what central banks intend to bring about by raising interest rates, collapsing confidence can take on a momentum of its own.A further problem is concentrated pain borne by a minority of homeowners. By far the most exposed are those who have not locked in interest rates and face soaring mortgage bills. Relatively few are in America, where subsidised 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are the norm. But four in five Swedish loans have a fixed period of two years or less, and half of all New Zealand’s fixed-rate mortgages have been or are due for refinancing this year.When combined with a cost-of-living squeeze, that points to a growing number of households in financial distress. In Australia perhaps a fifth of all mortgage debt is owed by households who will see their spare cashflow fall by 20% or more if interest rates rise as expected. In Britain 2m households could see their mortgage absorb another 10% of their income, according to one estimate. Those who cannot afford the payments may have to dump their houses on the market instead.That is where the political dimension comes in. Housing markets are already a battleground. Thickets of red tape make it too hard to build new homes in big cities, leading to shortages. A generation of young people in the rich world feel they have been unfairly excluded from home ownership. Although lower house prices will reduce the deposit needed to obtain a mortgage, it is first-time buyers who depend most on debt financing, which is now expensive. And a whole new class of financially vulnerable homeowners are about to join the ranks of the discontented.Dangerous propertiesHaving bailed out the economy repeatedly in the past 15 years, most Western governments will be tempted to come to the rescue yet again. In America fears of a housing calamity have led some to urge the Fed to slow its vital rate rises. Spain is reported to be considering limiting rising mortgage payments, and Hungary has already done so. Expect more countries to follow.That could see governments’ debts rise still further and encourage the idea that home ownership is a one-way bet backed by the state. And it would also do little to solve the underlying problems that bedevil the rich world’s housing markets, many of which are due to ill-guided and excessive government intervention, from mortgage subsidies and distortive taxes to excessively onerous planning rules. As an era of low interest rates comes to an end, a home-price crunch is coming—and there is no guarantee of a better housing market at the end of it all.

Otro artículo más, al aportado por Derby, en la edición semanal de The Economist.Housing markets face a brutal squeezeHow bad will things get?CitarFor two years during the covid-19 pandemic, home-sellers in Quakers Hill, a suburb in the farthest reaches of Sydney’s sprawling west, raked in fortunes. Some 60 or 70 viewers would traipse round every house up for sale, recalls Josh Tesolin of Ray White, an estate agent. Buyers jostled at auctions, bidding well above the odds. “We’d ask for, let’s say, $1m and sell at $1.4m,” says Mr Tesolin. “The market back then was crazy—a very different picture to now.” This year prices in the neighbourhood have fallen by 20%, he estimates. Owners are pulling their homes, because they cannot sell them for as much as they want. The market is gumming up.Australian house prices have dropped for five straight months, placing Quakers Hill at the forefront of a global trend. As central banks race to tame inflation, they are raising interest rates at the fastest pace in at least four decades—which is now translating into housing-market carnage. Prices are falling in nine of the 18 countries monitored by Oxford Economics, a consultancy, and are dropping fastest in the most overheated markets. In Canada and Sweden they have fallen by more than 8% since February; in New Zealand they have fallen by more than 12% since their peak last year. Prices have begun sliding in America and Britain, too. Many other countries are heading in the same direction.https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2022/10/20/housing-markets-face-a-brutal-squeezeEl resto es de pago, pero vamos ya le han dado la extremaunción*.

Obviamente es imposible rebajar el precio de nada más del 100%, a no ser que nos paguen además por llevárnoslo. Por eso, cuando traen cosas como que si los jóvenes de ahora tienen no-sé-cuantos idiomas y másteres-del-universo, pues como que me da la risa floja, sobre todo si además creen que por eso la sociedad les debe algo.Me quedo con la anécdota comentada por Zugwang sobre su hermana.Por cierto, le diré que por los pelos, pero yo fui de los últimos educados bajo el antiguo BUP+COU. Se podrían criticar muchas cosas de ese modelo, pero comparado con lo que ha ido viniendo después, pues como que no hay color.
Artículo imprescindible. Parece escrito por un PPCChttps://www.elconfidencial.com/cultura/2022-10-23/rusia-china-europa-eeuu-rencor-clase-media-alta_3511034/ Por cierto, que El Economista no para de hablar del derrumbe de la vivienda y la subida de tipos.
P. Pero no una victoria de sistema como la de la Guerra Fría, ¿no?.R. Claro. La Guerra Fría se ganó por el tipo de vida que tenía el bloque occidental, que generó más estabilidad, más prosperidad y más legitimidad. Y eso, a su vez, favoreció que aparecieran innovaciones, también en el ámbito tecnológico. Son ese nivel de vida y esa fortaleza ecónomica los que, en última instancia, provocan que el régimen soviético se caiga por su propio peso sin disparar un solo misil en territorio soviético. Eso fue posible porque la batalla fue anterior y tuvo lugar en el plano económico y en el social. Ahora estamos en una situación similar, sólo que al revés: son los chinos los que piensan, y razonablemente, que están creciendo, que el futuro va a ser mejor para ellos, que su régimen es más eficiente, mientras nosotros nos percibimos en decadencia.Hay que revertir eso, y solo puede hacerse cuando se tienen un propósito y una visión clara: hay que reforzar el nivel de vida de los ciudadanos, y con él, la estabilidad y la legitimidad del sistema. Y para eso, hay que ser capaz de poner el capital a producir en lugar de a hacer apuestas financieras. En caso contrario, nuestras instituciones se deteriorarán enormemente.
