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.

Thank You, Uncle Sam

September 2, 2009

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

August 26, 2009

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

Consumer borrowing has decreased for the first time in over 10 years as outstanding revolving and non-revolving credit fell in August.  This may be an indication that Americans are pulling back on spending as the financial and housing markets continue to deteriorate.
