Short Sales Are About to Increase

October 5, 2009

Analysis by:John Burns, President,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:John Burns, President,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:John Burns, President,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:John Burns, President,

Analysis of: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

Analysis by:John Burns, President,

Analysis of: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.
