UBS has released its annual house price bubble report. Here are the most overvalued markets.

“The willingness to pay for owner-occupied homes is likely to take a hit. In cities with strong population growth, such an adjustment could manifest in the form of a prolonged stagnation in nominal purchase prices. But as real estate markets rarely trend sideways, this is not the most likely outcome,” says the report.

Since the UBS report is a global one, only five U.S. markets are analyzed: Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and New York. The bad news is, all five are overvalued. The good news is, none are called a bubble risk. Save Miami, the other cities haven’t seen price growth as strong as the nationwide average, UBS points out. And income growth has been exceptionally strong, though strained affordability will likely start taking its toll, the report cautions.

Globally, the market that seems to be most in a bubble is Toronto, followed closely by Frankfurt, UBS says. Adjusted for inflation, price levels in Vancouver and Toronto have more than tripled in the last 25 years.

“In such overheated markets, with already very stretched housing affordability, the recent rate hikes by the Bank of Canada could be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. New buyers and owners during mortgage renegotiations not only need to pay higher interest rates but are also required to provide more income to qualify for a mortgage,” said UBS.

The UBS ranking is based on five factors: price to income, price to rent, the change in mortgage-to-GDP ratio, the change in construction-to-GDP ratio and the relative price of the city to the country.

The chart

In his third-quarter shareholder letter, Bill Nygren of the Oakmark Funds produced this chart, showing the ratio of the 50th highest price to equity ratio in the S&P 500 to the 450th P-to-E. That dispersion is 40% wider than normal. “As has often been the case, unusually high volatility leads to a high spread in valuations, which has been—and we believe will be—a good environment to add value via stock picking,” he says.
