While housing values in Sunbelt states have benefited from recent demographic changes, these states may be most at risk for pricing corrections, new data from researchers at 澳门六合彩历史记录 and indicates.

Housing markets across the Sunbelt are most exposed to the possibility of price corrections in the future based on their price-to-rent premiums, according to January data from the from 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 .听

McAllen, Texas poses the greatest risk for a correction with the area鈥檚 price-to-rent premium of 22.72 percent. It鈥檚 followed by San Jose, California, 22.47 percent; Charlotte, North Carolina, 15.10 percent; Durham, North Carolina, 14.98 percent; Nashville, 13.83 percent; Atlanta, 13.24 percent; Raleigh, North Carolina, 13.17 percent; Orlando, 13.07 percent; Lakeland, Florida, 12.65 percent; and Dallas, 12.32 percent.

A higher price-to-rent ratio favors renting over owning, in general. Additionally, recent price-to-rent ratios for an area that are higher than the average local price-to-rent ratio poses particular risk suggesting that homeownership is becoming relatively more expensive than renting paving the path for a possible pricing correction. All else equal, the greater the price-to-rent premium for an area, the greater the risk for correction. A premium is measured as the percentage difference between an area鈥檚 current price-to-rent ratio, and its average price-to-rent ratio.

鈥淚n the majority of the metros located in the Sunbelt states, housing prices have gotten more out of line with rents than in other parts of the country,鈥 said , Ph.D., real estate economist with 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 . 鈥淭he price of homeownership is increasing faster than the cost of renting, causing home prices to get more out of line than rental prices, putting these areas most at risk for a pricing correction.鈥

The BHJ National Price-to-Rent Index, conducted by Johnson, along with fellow researchers , Ph.D., of FIU鈥檚 Hollo School of Real Estate and , Ph.D., dean of FIU鈥檚 College of Business, calculates the ratio between local home prices to annualized rents in 100 of the most populated metropolitan areas in the country. The greater the difference of the price-to-rent premium above the historic average, the more the market favors renting, while price-to-rent discounts (lower than average ratios) favor home ownership.

鈥淗igher price-to-rent premiums for these markets are mostly likely a reflection of families from the Midwest and Northeast moving into the Sunbelt and paying cash netted from the sale of their former properties. Regardless of cause at this point, home pricing has simply outstripped rents, placing downward pressure on prices in these metros,鈥 Beracha said.

For potential homebuyers looking to buy in these areas, it might be preferable to rent and reinvest rather than purchase a home until the local price-to-rent ratio returns to being more in line with the historic average.

For data on all 100 metros, .
