That's why the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects housing data more infrequently than most other items in the CPI basket of goods.</p>\n<p>For renters and buyers, you encounter the changing cost when something about your living arrangement changed: When you move to a new home, sign a new lease or refinance your mortgage.</p>\n<p>But Americans do need to know how much housing costs are rising or falling -- not the least of which because residential real-estate makes up such a huge portion of the nation's economy.</p>\n<p>The government's Consumer Price Index calculates the \"imputed rent\" -- essentially the amount a homeowner is paying for their housing rather than paying a landlord.</p>\n<p>If it did not do so, GDP would actually fall, Dietz said, \"because money that would be a rental payment in the marketplace paid by a renter suddenly disappears.\"</p>\n<p>To bridge this challenge, the government relies on survey data to produce its estimates of housing costs for renters and homeowners. In renters' cases, they are simply asked how much they pay for housing.</p>\n<p>But owners aren't asked what their mortgage payment is -- after all, not everyone has a mortgage. Instead, that's why they are asked to estimate how much they would be able to charge for rent to lease out their current home.</p>\n<p>Government statisticians survey the same cohort of Americans periodically to produce their findings and track changes over time to estimate housing costs.</p>\n<p>\"Inflation and [changes in] housing prices have generally been matched up,\" said Jonathan Needell, President and Chief Investment Officer of KIMC, a private real-estate investment company. He added that rising housing prices has \"exceeded inflation in some circumstances.\"</p>\n<p>Some researchers have argued, however, that this approach can also understate and/or be slow to identify true inflation occurring in the housing market.</p>\n<p>A new analysis showed that there is typically a lag between when home prices are actually rising, and when that price growth is reflected in inflation reports like the consumer price index.</p>\n<p>The role played by COVID-19</p>\n<p>The shifts in housing preferences and needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also complicated our ability to gauge the effect of inflation in the housing market.</p>\n<p>Wealthier Americans, many of whom suddenly found themselves able to work remotely, chose to move away from major cities into larger and cheaper homes in the suburbs, often saving money in the process. As a result, rental rates declined in pricier neighborhoods.</p>\n<p>But in more affordable areas, rents actually increased. Americans who lost their jobs because of the pandemic rushed to find cheaper housing, pushing rents higher for the least expensive apartments and homes in the suburbs.</p>\n<p>Those effects are beginning to dissipate, but will continue to weigh on official measures like the consumer price index given the time lags that occur.</p>\n<p>So is housing quickly becoming more expensive? The answer, economists agree, is yes. First American Financial Services has its own measure, the Real House Price Index, which compares nominal-price gains with Americans' ability to afford to purchase a property based on the prevailing interest rates and household income.</p>\n<p>For a period of time between 2018 and the beginning of 2020, the Real House Price Index was falling, because Americans' buying power was rising faster than home prices, Fleming said.

The calculations for most other CPI items are collected monthly or bimonthly.\n\"Like most other economic series, the CPI views housing units as capital (or investment) goods and not as consumption items,\" the Bureau of Labor Statistics says . \"Spending to purchase and improve houses and other housing units is investment and not consumption.\"\n\"The cost of shelter for renter-occupied housing is rent. For an owner-occupied unit, the cost of shelter is the implicit rent that owner occupants would have to pay if they were renting their homes,\" the bureau adds.\nThe government pollsters ask homeowners: \"If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?\"\nAnd they ask renters: \"What is the rental charge to your [household] for this unit including any extra charges for garage and parking facilities? Do not include direct payments by local, state or federal agencies. What period of time does this cover?\"\nHousing isn't like other goods\n\"The rate of house price appreciation is not akin to inflation,\" said Mark Fleming, chief economist at title insurance company First American Financial Services FAF (#phrase-company?ref=COMPANY%7CFAF;onlineSignificance=prominent).\nFor a start, housing is a very basic necessity. \"Demand for shelter doesn't go away -- it just moves around,\" Fleming said. In other words, if the price of airfares surges 2.7%, as it did over the past month, families could decide against going on that summer getaway.\nThat choice isn't so simple when it comes to housing. As the cost of shelter increases it can have a \"cascading effect on extremely low-income renters,\" said Andrew Aurand, vice president for research at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.\nResearch from Aurand's organization has shown that more than 9.2 million \"extremely low-income\" renters are cost burdened by their housing, meaning they spent more than a third of their income on shelter-related expenses. Many of these households spend upwards of 50% on housing, leaving little money behind for other purchases.\nThe alternative for these households would be losing the roof over their heads. In recent years, that has become the reality for many Americans. A 2019 study released by the Trump administration estimated that more than 500,000 people sleep outdoors each night across the country, while many more couch surf or utilize shelters for unhoused people.\nMeanwhile, for people who own their homes, buying a property isn't the same as buying, say, a banana. Owning that banana won't benefit you financially in the long-run, whereas with a house you can expect to see its value increase and to profit off that. But a home isn't a pure investment asset like a stock -- it's a mix of both.\nHome prices can rise both because the actual structure itself may be worth more -- thanks to the rising cost of labor and lumber -- but also because people see value in it as a capital investment.\nAs a result, there can be a mismatch in the way economists or government statistician view rising home prices, and what that means to a consumer.\n\"In a market environment where prices are rising so quickly to buy a home the economist would say that's the increase in the price of the capital good,\" said Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders. \"But to the buyer, it represents a higher cost of living.\"\nWhy housing inflation is different\nPeople experience inflation vis-à-vis housing differently to most other products, and that makes it a challenging to measure.\nFor the typical homeowner, their housing costs likely haven't changed too much over the past year.\n\"If you have a fixed mortgage, on your home, year over year, how much does your cost of living in that home change? Not very much,\" Fleming said. \"The only things that change year over year are your escrows for taxes and insurance.\"\nEven with renters, the price of housing doesn't shift higher or lower from month to month. That's why the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects housing data more infrequently than most other items in the CPI basket of goods.\nFor renters and buyers, you encounter the changing cost when something about your living arrangement changed: When you move to a new home, sign a new lease or refinance your mortgage.\nBut Americans do need to know how much housing costs are rising or falling -- not the least of which because residential real-estate makes up such a huge portion of the nation's economy.\nThe government's Consumer Price Index calculates the \"imputed rent\" -- essentially the amount a homeowner is paying for their housing rather than paying a landlord.\nIf it did not do so, GDP would actually fall, Dietz said, \"because money that would be a rental payment in the marketplace paid by a renter suddenly disappears.\"\nTo bridge this challenge, the government relies on survey data to produce its estimates of housing costs for renters and homeowners. In renters' cases, they are simply asked how much they pay for housing.\nBut owners aren't asked what their mortgage payment is -- after all, not everyone has a mortgage. Instead, that's why they are asked to estimate how much they would be able to charge for rent to lease out their current home.\nGovernment statisticians survey the same cohort of Americans periodically to produce their findings and track changes over time to estimate housing costs.\n\"Inflation and [changes in] housing prices have generally been matched up,\" said Jonathan Needell, President and Chief Investment Officer of KIMC, a private real-estate investment company. He added that rising housing prices has \"exceeded inflation in some circumstances.\"\nSome researchers have argued, however, that this approach can also understate and/or be slow to identify true inflation occurring in the housing market.\nA new analysis showed that there is typically a lag between when home prices are actually rising, and when that price growth is reflected in inflation reports like the consumer price index.\nThe role played by COVID-19\nThe shifts in housing preferences and needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also complicated our ability to gauge the effect of inflation in the housing market.\nWealthier Americans, many of whom suddenly found themselves able to work remotely, chose to move away from major cities into larger and cheaper homes in the suburbs, often saving money in the process. As a result, rental rates declined in pricier neighborhoods.\nBut in more affordable areas, rents actually increased. Americans who lost their jobs because of the pandemic rushed to find cheaper housing, pushing rents higher for the least expensive apartments and homes in the suburbs.\nThose effects are beginning to dissipate, but will continue to weigh on official measures like the consumer price index given the time lags that occur.\nSo is housing quickly becoming more expensive? The answer, economists agree, is yes. First American Financial Services has its own measure, the Real House Price Index, which compares nominal-price gains with Americans' ability to afford to purchase a property based on the prevailing interest rates and household income.\nFor a period of time between 2018 and the beginning of 2020, the Real House Price Index was falling, because Americans' buying power was rising faster than home prices, Fleming said. That's not the case anymore.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145160933,"gmtCreate":1626199058522,"gmtModify":1703755415908,"author":{"id":"3585375787607869","authorId":"3585375787607869","name":"Alecksliew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6fade8abd6ef6cd3dee71b892bd8dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585375787607869","authorIdStr":"3585375787607869"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/145160933","repostId":"1198485083","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198485083","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626186297,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198485083?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-13 22:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"477 Days And Counting: How The Current Post-Pandemic Bull Market Compares To Bull Markets Of The Past","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198485083","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The S&P 500 made new all-time highs on Monday, and the bull market that started on March 23, 2020 ha","content":"<p>The S&P 500 made new all-time highs on Monday, and the bull market that started on March 23, 2020 has had very few bumps in the road up to this point.

The bull market is now 477 days old, and the S&P 500 has rallied just over 100% since hitting its intraday pandemic low of 2,191.86 last March.</p>\n<p>It may seem like an eternity since that pandemic low in 2020, but asRitholtz portfolio manager Ben Carlson highlighted, history suggests the bull market may be just getting started.</p>\n<p><b>Bull Market Numbers:</b>A bull market is defined as a gain of at least 20% from a bear market trough. There have been 23 S&P 500 bull markets since 1928. The average bull market has lasted 1,121 days, or just over three years. However, the past five bull markets have lasted at least 1,826 days.</p>\n<p>The bull market from March 2009 to February 2020 that ended when the pandemic hit lasted 3,999 days. The bull market from December 1987 to the bursting of the dot-com bubble in March 2000 lasted 4,494 days, or about 12.3 years.</p>\n<p>By duration, the current bull market is relatively young compared to most bull markets of the past. But it has certainly come a long way fast.

The bull market is now 477 days old, and the S&P 500 has rallied just over 100% since hitting its intraday pandemic low of 2,191.86 last March.\nIt may seem like an eternity since that pandemic low in 2020, but asRitholtz portfolio manager Ben Carlson highlighted, history suggests the bull market may be just getting started.\nBull Market Numbers:A bull market is defined as a gain of at least 20% from a bear market trough. There have been 23 S&P 500 bull markets since 1928. The average bull market has lasted 1,121 days, or just over three years. However, the past five bull markets have lasted at least 1,826 days.\nThe bull market from March 2009 to February 2020 that ended when the pandemic hit lasted 3,999 days. The bull market from December 1987 to the bursting of the dot-com bubble in March 2000 lasted 4,494 days, or about 12.3 years.\nBy duration, the current bull market is relatively young compared to most bull markets of the past. But it has certainly come a long way fast. In fact, in just 477 days, the current bull market’s 100% return off of trough lows is just 22% shy of the average bull market return since 1928.\nAnd just because a bear market was less than two years ago doesn’t mean investors are in the clear of a major market correction (a decline of at least 10% from the bull market peak) or another bear market (a decline of at least 20%). There have been 32 corrections and 21 bear markets since 1928, or roughly one every 21 months.\nBenzinga’s Take:These historical numbers are a great way for investors to keep some perspective on where the S&P 500 is and where it might be going. But past performance is certainly not a reliable predictor of future results, and nobody should be going long or short the based on historical bull market trends.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
