While US Real Estate Flounders, Australia’s A Seller’s Dream

US real estate prices are at record lows, but our cousin down under has quite the lucrative market, thanks to a housing shortage. Bloomberg has more:

…a shortage of 200,000 dwellings…is helping fuel Australian home prices, which are 82 percent higher than in the U.S., and disproving investors such as Jeremy Grantham, who says they will fall 42 percent as interest rates rise in one of the world’s priciest home markets.

Home prices in Australia surged 20 percent in the year to March in an economy with a 5.2 percent jobless rate, about half U.S. and European levels. Government stimulus and demand for raw materials from China helped Australia skirt a recession and escape a housing slump since the onset of the global financial crisis.

Australia’s median home price was 6.8 times gross yearly income last year, compared with 5.1 times in the U.K. and 2.9 times in the U.S., according to the annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey. The nation of 22 million people has six of the 10 most unaffordable cities among the U.S., U.K., Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, the survey showed.

“Over the next 10 years, Australia needs to build about 420,000 homes more than were built over the past decade to meet demand,” according to one analyst interviewed in the Bloomberg article. Developers must be chomping at the bit to get a piece of this bubble before it blows.

Will the commercial real estate bubble burst your small business?

Small businesses are already besieged by the prospect of rising taxes, health care costs, and tightening access to credit.  A recent report by the Congressional Oversight Panel indicates that there may be more troubles in store.

Small business may get another punch to the gut when commercial real estate mortgages come due over the next three years.

As noted by Rieva Lesonsky on Small Business Trends , pundits are considering the effect that we could experience a commercial real estate fallout, much like the fallout for residential real estate mortgages.  Community banks in particular have been cited as vulnerable because they have disproportionate amounts of commercial loans on their books relative to their assets. According to Elizabeth Warren, chair of the Congressional Oversight panel (which monitors the financial bailout), half of all commercial mortgages will be “underwater” by 2011.  This means that the borrower owes more on the loan than the property is currently worth.

The net effect for business owners? If you have such a mortgage for your commercial property, consider refinancing now. If you’re a tenant, be prepared for the possibility that if your office building goes into foreclosure, you may need to relocate–pronto. And for all taxpayers, be prepared for the real possibility that another major bailout program may become necessary.

Got a few hours with nothing to do?  Check out the report of the Congressional Oversight Panel, “Commercial Real Estate Losses and the Risk to Financial Stability“–makes for curious reading.
