Does anyone know if the prices of houses in Ocala will go up, down or stay the same in three years? I'm specifically interested in OTOW new home construction.

Labor costs and demand have risen sharply in the area. I would expect housing costs to increase accordingly.

Thanks. That's what the OTOW rep told me, too.

I see the market as being more stimulus-driven than fundamentals-driven. The key factors are interest rates and lending policy (ie down payment requirement, credit strength, etc). If you have a crystal ball that can see fannie/freddie policy for the remainder of the decade, you'll have your answer.

It took OTOTW years to get where they are at, but more and more boomers are retiring every day, looking for nice digs. OTOW I think qualifies.I think the buying will be accelerating so prices will be going up. JMO.

I do not think they will go down and prices in Ocala have been going up.
But I would not buy now to avoid the price increase if I was not going to use the home most of the year.
Rentals are 6 month or a year so if you are thinking of the home as an investment make sure you know the rules of renting.

The gains in home prices in a large portion of the area is worrisome in my opinion. Ocala appreciation rates are higher than the overwhelming majority of the state and continue to increase at an alarming (and unnatural) rate.

Max 80% LTV and 28/36 DTI would put a stop to this bullsh*t. It's the only thing I miss about 1985.
