You could pretty much guarantee on making a decent return on your investment, or at least recouping your costs, if you held onto your home for a few years. In today\u2019s changing world, however, it may no longer be the case, at least not in the United States. As of this writing, there are over 92 million working age people, out of a national population of approximately 315 million, no longer working and unable to find jobs in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, from this fact alone, it is clearly evident that there is a much smaller pool of prospective home buyers today, as a percentage of residential inventory available, than ever before.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When you add to the out-of-employment statistic the fact, that of the jobs that do remain in the United States today a much higher percentage of them are low income service sector jobs than ever before, it becomes painfully clear that investing in the American dream is no longer a smart decision. According to a July 5, 2012 article in the New York Times over 90% of the jobs in the United States were service sector jobs. Today, that percentage has only increased.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">With the dismal employment situation in the United States, it is no wonder why banks flush with cash are extremely hesitant on providing loans for home purchases. With mainly low service sector wages and declining personal incomes for the past 13 years, according to an October 1, 2013 report on the Business Insider website, many people today simply don\u2019t qualify for home mortgages, even at the lowest interest rates in decades.<\/p>\n<p>Banks would rather invest abroad, or not at all, than make bad risky loans to people who have a high probability of default with drowning collateral, i.e. their house.<\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5738 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Investing in your home.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When it comes to investment, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that investors invest first and foremost in prospective growth. Remember a bank, like any business, is in business first to make money for their stockholders, as they should. And to make money, they need to invest in growing businesses or entities. A textbook example of this fact is with Apple, Inc. It has tens of billions of dollars in cash in its coffers; however, for the past couple of years its stock value has fallen and maintains a low price to earnings ratio. The chief reason for the low stock price is that Apple\u2019s ability to continue to expand at its historical growth rate over the past decade has come into question by investors. So, like would-be-investors in Apple, a bank would rather invest elsewhere, where there are more prospects for growth, e.g. Asia and\/or South America. Even though wages are extremely low on these continents the near term prospects of income growth for the people of these regions, due to the growth in manufacturing jobs, are much higher than in the United States.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">The secondary effect of this situation is that since banks are flush with cash they have no need for raising additional monies, and thus part of the reason why passbook savings and money market accounts are effectively at zero interest rates today.<\/p>\n<p>The sad truth from all of these facts is that the United States Middle class is very rapidly vanishing due to societal and government policy changes. And as it does so, so goes the demand for the traditional three bedroom house and all its modern day trimmings.<\/p>\n<p>Until the mass United States population recognizes what is happening to itself and affects necessary personal and political change, an expected reversal of fortune in the housing market is unlikely anytime soon. This is not to say, however, that the housing market and home improvement space are completely dead.<\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/new-home-construction-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1294 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/New-Home-Construction-Bid-Sheet-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"New Home Construction Bid Sheet\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/New-Home-Construction-Bid-Sheet-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/New-Home-Construction-Bid-Sheet-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/New-Home-Construction-Bid-Sheet-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/New-Home-Construction-Bid-Sheet.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>People will always still need shelter and a roof over their head. It\u2019s just that the future of the American home, or residence, may be more utilitarian and less feature rich, akin to what is found today in rural Mexico, China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>So before making a large financial home improvement investment, think twice about whether or not it is important to you to recoup your investment. It is highly likely that it will take a very long time to recoup your costs, and there is very much the possibility that you may never do so. If you are willing to accept the potential financial suicide because the other benefits out way the loss, then proceed with your home improvement project with your eyes wide open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\"><strong>For help on building a home addition<\/strong><\/span>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.
