Short Sales Are About to Increase

October 5, 2009

Short Sales: A Fraying Lifeline for Homeowners | www.businessweek.com

Treasury is announcing new terms that they hope will encourage more short-sales. These transactions have not been very effective in the past, and while this is probably not going to be a game changer, it’s wise to expect the incentives could spur some level of increase in short sales.

Hope can fuel bulls' charge as stocks rally despite worries | www.usatoday.com

We believe that the recovery will be W-shaped and that April was only a false bottom. Our estimate is that there will be a slowing beginning in December, and that we will hit the true bottom in summer of 2010.

Policy Makers, CEOs and Investors Beware

1. Mortgage Rates to Benefit from Stabilized Home Prices, Jumbo Mortgage Rates in Particular | www.examiner.com

The emergence of home price stabilization is spotty and should not be over-simplified. It’s important to look at the underlying indicators to see where stabilization is actually taking place.

Has Housing Construction Really Bottomed?

August 26, 2009

U.S. Economy: Housing Starts Gain to Seven-Month High (Update1) | www.bloomberg.com

The recent good news in housing starts is based on seasonally adjusted data, which can fluctuate and affect solid conclusions. Non-seasonally adjusted data across a 12-month period is a more stable reflection of construction activity.

Are Consumers Paying Down Debt?

October 17, 2008

Consumers Pay Down Debt For First Time In 10 Years | www.marketwatch.com

Why is there no effort by the media to understand the DEMAND side of the housing industry?

June 2, 2008

The Truth Behind Florida's Housing Numbers | online.wsj.com

This article is just another example of somewhat reckless reporting by the “drive-by” media. Yes, there was excessive overbuilding of housing during the three years prior to 2006.  Yes, there is a huge number of empty or unsold housing that must be sold over the next few years.  This message is old and it has been beaten to death -- supply – supply – supply.  It’s time for new media people to step up and deal with demand.  It’s time for media people with housing knowledge and business savvy to study and put forward visions of the housing recovery.  We need in-depth segmentation of facts.  In south Florida, unsold, high rise, luxury condo’s have very little to do with current and future housing needs of the mass workforce.  Why is such housing data merged with all other housing data as if they are one and alike?  Why is there no expressed understanding of the limited amount of undeveloped land remaining in south Florida  for the very certain growth of housing that will come?

No Bottoming Out Soon

February 26, 2008

Existing Home Sales Decline | biz.yahoo.com

Unsold inventory is at an extremely high level, which will be increased significantly as mortgage foreclosures continue to ramp up through 2008.  The median home price has dropped only 4.6% year over year.  Even with historically low interest rates, the credit crunch will continue to suppress demand.
