One in New York City, yielding us an average of 47%. Two more in Philadelphia are paying us 39%. And I've got six in Texas, sending us payouts amounting to 33% on our money. How do they generate enough cash to pay such ridiculously high dividends? [It’s all spelled out right here.]( Sponsored  --------------------------------------------------------------- The only bad thing about the best parties is that no matter how good they were, the good times can’t go on forever. Investing is always cyclical and even investments like real estate which have performed over time will have bad cycles. It certainly appears as if the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates has ended the boom period of strong profits that investors enjoyed after the 2008 crash. Rate increases became an unofficial “curfew,” sending almost all the partygoers home early. But even in that framework, there will be markets that don’t experience as big a fall as others. Benzinga takes a look at some of the real estate markets that are seeing the biggest downturns and what that means for the real estate game. The Sun Belt According to data from Realtor.com, Austin, Texas, saw a whopping 10.3% drop in home prices from June to September. The good news for sellers is the average home price is still $558,275, which is up 2.2% from the same time last year. Phoenix is another Sun Belt city that was attractive to buyers during the pandemic. It, too, has suffered of late. The average price of a home in Phoenix is down 9.9% from three months ago. If you’re looking to buy there, the average price is now $493,500. In Florida, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Palm Bay were popular Sun Belt destinations. When you consider that Florida offers year-round sunshine and no state taxes, it only makes sense that its real estate market would hit a boom cycle post-COVID. Palm Bay certainly did, but the worm has turned. There has been an 8.9% drop in sale prices to $379,995 from June to October. The Tech Drop and the Mountain West It’s not just the Sun Belt that has been experiencing what Fed Chairman Jerome Powell called a “correction” in home prices since interest rates went up. During the pandemic, Mountain West markets like Boise, Idaho, were suddenly red hot. During the tech boom, markets like Sunnyvale and San Jose, California, literally became ground zero for America’s housing affordability crisis. As the COVID pandemic brought remote work into the public consciousness, suddenly not everyone in tech needed a home near their company’s respective mothership in Silicon Valley. That has resulted in a cooldown of these notoriously hot markets. It’s Not Just Home Prices Single-family home prices are often considered to be the ultimate indicator of a real estate market’s relative strength. But residential rents in multifamily apartment communities are another key metric for the performance of a given market. This is why so many real estate investment trusts (REITs) own so many institutional-quality multifamily assets in the same markets where home prices are high. After all, a lack of affordability in single-family homes means a lot of people will end up being forced into the rental market whether they want to or not. For investors, the news is tough here, too. Orlando, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Dallas/Forth Worth have all seen average rents drop between 0.07% and 2% in the past several months. That’s certainly not good news for REIT investors because many of them responded to the boom in those cities by breaking ground on new developments. By some estimates, another 200,000 units are set to come online in those markets, which will put even more downward pressure on rents. The Rumors of the Death of the Real Estate Market are Greatly Exaggerated Obviously, many data points show that the real estate market is in a difficult phase. With that said, the resilience of the real estate market is legendary. In much the same way a palm tree can be bent almost all the way over on its side when it’s hit by hurricane-force winds, the tree almost always straightens itself out and stands tall once the storm clears. The current storm is not over, but it will eventually pass. Real estate is still a finite asset. Homeownership is still a cornerstone of the American dream. Yes, interest rates are at a 20-year high. But people were still buying homes 20 years ago, too. Eventually, buyers will reappear and many of these markets that are in distress will be strong again.
