[Durham INC] With the speed of City Council approvals on new developement, there is a real possibility of this in Durham

[Stephen Knill]

Ii SE Durham, CC has approved over 6000 new homes with 2200 more in the queue. Half or more are townhomes. If interest rates continue to climb, the individual buyers they expect to attract may sit on the sidelines. Most of these are national builders so getting a big investment group to purchase a whole development eliminating the builders sales costs etc. could be very attractive to both parties.   And when the market comes back, they could sell off individual homes again. In Phoenix, 32% of new home purchase are now going to investors. It can happen here.

Durham may not be immune from the national trend that investors will buy properties at a discount and that individuals looking for housing may not be able to complete with them.

 

Mortgage rates have doubled which will effect individual home buyers. How will more rental houses affect Durham??

 

Home ownership as a primary wealth builder may be further out of reach for many.

I would be very surprised if that is happening around here. While demand has slowed some, there are plenty of investors (from here and elsewhere) who are still buying.
