Even though the Pearl River housing market
looks as certain to rise as the spring shoots, behind that optimism is the
perenniel question about whether another “dip” is coming — a lot of which has
to do with Wall Street. Remembering how 2008’s economic downturn saw the
housing market and stock market take blows pretty much simultaneously, it’s not
far-fetched to assume that the two markets always move together. And while some
folks are emboldened as stocks soar to record-level heights, for others, the
same phenomenon causes altitude sickness. What goes up must…well, you know the
rest! Pearl River
Housing Market Not Really Yoked to Wall Street
Historically, the housing market and stock
market are hardly inextricably joined. Nor should that be a surprise. On the
one hand, the housing market reflects a real good (as ‘real’ as it gets!) —
something that carries intrinsic utility. That won’t change until people figure
out a way to exist without shelter. Pearl River Housing Market Not Really Yoked to Wall

Stocks, on the other hand, represent
participation in ownership of a venture, and a share of financial gain (or
loss) from its success. Both markets are influenced by some of the same factors
(employment, inflation, etc.), but to different degrees. It’s widely agreed
that the direct influence of one on the other waxes and wanes. Pearl River Housing Market Not Really Yoked to Wall

So when anyone thinks about whether a dip is
coming in the stock market, and whether that should influence their real estate
thinking, I’m pretty certain that the answers are less important than the more
measurable effects that buying or selling a home will have on their day-to-day
living experience. With positive housing market data continuing to arrive (like
the recent rise in land values — up 13% last year; the first annual gain in
eight years), it’s hard not to agree with the majority of economists that the positive
housing market trend is likely to keep going for a good while longer. Pearl River Housing Market Not Really
