Housebuilding Sector (Property)


Guest tk20

Recommended Posts

Housebuilders and construction have had a fantastic 12 months, beating all sectors. Highlights are new FTSE 100 entrants and 250 risers, special dividends, cash surpluses, margins 20%+, high forecasted dividend returns and a chronic over-demand-under-supplied market.

 

With many books already pre-sold and 2016 order books filling up very quickly, how much upside do you think there still is in the industry given the forward certainty and fundementals?

I think the upside will prevail throughout the year ahead. There is no indication, fundemental or analytic, that proves the opposite - very lucrative market indeed, I would say....

I've held Persimmon since 2008 and bought into the dips including getting some as low as 400p.  Although I've reduced my holding at higher levels in recent years the income and special returns from this share mean I've kept in my SIPP and will not be selling this year or maybe even next.  Buying in now is a trickier call, probably depends on motives.

Interesting area, which I have too much bias on to trade in.  Massive bull run in line with the rest of the market since 2009 but also fueled (in the UK at least) by government and BoE policy and, in London, foreign buyers using new build as a safety deposit box (not even letting out their properties in many cases!).

 

There have been many articles on why property will never fall in value, which is enough for me to think it will.  Recently some negative ones have crept in but there are 4 (maybe more if I think about it) factors that I believe will govern what happens next:

  1. Prices are totally out of kilter with incomes - people can't afford to buy
  2. Cheap money has driven the market - remember 2008 in the US???
  3. There is a massive impending mismatch between supply and demand for new builds (especially in prime locations at high value) as house builders swarmed into the market
  4. The politics has changed - there are more voters who want to buy but can't now than home owners to protect and even many of the latter want prices to fall so their kids can leave home...  Government policy has targeted this market in the past few years and this will get worse for house builders, foreign owners and the buy-to-let crowd

It may not happen soon, property will probably be the last asset class to fall but fall it will and hard.  given the performance so far it is hard to justify not cashing in and there is now case for investing now I feel.  Put another way, if I won the lottery I still would buy a property yet!

 

For the record, I use to own property but now rent and am awaiting the best opportunity to buy my long term home for 20 years to emerge...

HI Condor,

 

This quote I picked up today may interest you and anyone else invested in or trading property sector.

 

"Developers in central London are offering institutional investors discounts of as much as 20 percent on bulk purchases of luxury apartments as demand from international buyers slumps amid higher taxes and low commodity prices"

 

-Bloomberg

 

Interested in people's views on the property market in general and how they are playing it.

I think we are heading for a 15-20% correction.  Wondering what I can use to hedge this.  I have been searching for a product tracking Nationwide UK property index, or an ETF which might do the same but can't find anything exact.  Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Will

Hi .  A couple of old but interesting articles on this subject and describes an instrument IG used to have for the purpose and the problems they ran into with it. The suggestion at bottom of the Moneyweek piece seems reasonable.

thanks very much  

yeah seems they don't have that instrument anymore which is a shame (well assuming i'm right anyway!)

fair point on betting on individual companies, but then you are taking on a load of other risks too!

    • Hi @neueneuen Thanks for coming back to this, Please note that number 1 above has been confirmed, unfortunately, I don't have number 2 yet. We will keep you updated. Thanks, KoketsoIG
    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.     Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
