Nobody ever wants to “hit bottom” but the optimist in you might tell you that once you hit bottom, there’s no place to go but up. Well, not really. Experts looking at the real estate market say that there could be several periods in which the real estate market hits bottom over the next 1-3 years. Real estate is often a major component of retirement investments, so this is genuinely bad news for anyone who is saving for retirement.

Retirement investment managers have entered into 70% fewer real estate transactions this year. Buyers aren’t taking advantage of lower real estate costs. Instead, they’re waiting. As a component of a portfolio of retirement investments, the ROI prospects for cash are better than they are for real estate.

The refinancing market is also slow, and this could be where new problems lie. Organizations, funds and individuals that need to refinance debt according to a particular schedule may find that the refinancing they counted on at the end of their loans won’t be available. Without the availability of refinancing loans, many investors – corporate and individual – could find themselves facing the loss of their investments.

This isn’t good news, but the news isn’t all bad, either. Real estate, for as poorly as it is performing in the US, is performing extremely well in Mexico. Mexico real estate in some places – like Puerto Vallarta – have experienced 10% gains per year for the past decade. That’s performance you’re not going to find in the US market.
