sales: I want to know if it's just me................. - 03/02/10 01:32 PM
Seems like the last year my real estate transactions have been more difficult than normal. I think I have had one "normal" transaction in the past year. The rest have been very trying. Seems like there are extinuating circumstances that are out of my control. You end up working 3 times as many hours and/or it falls apart. Then there's the mortgage industry. With all of the new changes, this makes our job more challenging as well. So, is it just me? Is anyone else thinking about going to work for McDonalds? Would you like ketchup with that?

sales: Ten Questions on the Volatile Housing Market - 11/22/09 05:28 PM
By JAMES R. HAGERTY
The U.S. housing market has been in a slump for the past four years. When will it ever end?
In recent years, real estate has proven as jittery and unreliable as any other market. The average U.S. home price nearly doubled between January 2000 and April 2006, according to the First American LoanPerformance index. Since then, the average has fallen about 30%. The drop has been 53% in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and 39% in Miami, where about a quarter of all households with mortgages are behind on their payments or in foreclosure. The value … (0 comments)

sales: Now's The Time To Buy, If............... - 08/18/09 10:37 AM
NOW'S THE TIME TO BUY, IF . . .
"It appears we are at the bottom of the housing market in most Texas cities," said Real Estate Center Director Mark Dotzour after reviewing the state's latest home sale numbers.
Dotzour mentioned two years ago that new home construction needed to fall dramatically to avoid the level of overbuilding that could damage Texas housing markets. He even picked summer 2009 as the bottom of the housing cycle because bankers would constrain credit to homebuilders and developers.
Apparently he was right on all counts. The Texas inventory of unsold new and existing … (1 comments)

sales: Home Prices Seem Far From Bottom - 10/18/08 10:14 AM
Home Prices Seem Far From Bottom
In New York and other cities that rely heavily on the financial sector, economists expect that job losses will increase and that pay heavily tied to year-end bonuses will decline significantly.
One reliable proxy of housing values -- the ratio of home prices to rents -- indicates that in many cities prices are still too high relative to historical norms.
In Miami, for instance, home prices are about 22 times annual rents, according to analysis by Moody's Economy.com. The average figure for the last 20 years is just 15 times annual rents. The difference … (0 comments)
