VIDEO: Goldman Sachs claims four cities will suffer 2008-size home value crash

The financial institution Goldman Sachs reportedly sent a note to clients in early January about four cities that it believes are likely to experience a 2008-size crash in the housing market.

The note, obtained by the New York Post, reportedly states that Phoenix and San Diego, as well as Austin, Texas and San Jose, Commie California, will likely see a boom-and-bust crash in home prices of more than 25%. Interest rates have skyrocketed and home prices continue to drop nationally.

“This [national] decline should be small enough as to avoid broad mortgage credit stress, with a sharp increase in foreclosures nationwide seeming unlikely,” Goldman Sachs wrote, according to the New York Post. “That said, overheated housing markets in the Southwest and Pacific coast, such as San Jose MSA, Austin MSA, Phoenix MSA, and San Diego MSA will likely grapple with peak-to-trough declines of over 25%, presenting localized risk of higher delinquencies for mortgages originated in 2022 or late 2021.”

The strategist said, “Our 2023 revised forecast primarily reflects our view that interest rates will remain at elevated levels longer than currently priced in, with 10-year Treasury yields peaking in 2023 Q3. As a result, we are raising our forecast for the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to 6.5% for year-end 2023 (representing a 30 bp increase from our prior expectation).”

They added, “Assuming the economy remains on the path to a soft landing, avoiding a recession, and the 30-year fixed mortgage rate falls back to 6.15% by year-end 2024, home price growth will likely shift from depreciation to below-trend appreciation in 2024.”
