Recovery a Year Away UCI Professor Stated - 09/19/10 04:38 PM
Kerry Vandell pprofessor of finance and director of the UCI Center for Real Estate stated recovery is a year away according to The Orange County Register.
Pprofessor Vandell indicated the the tax credit us to accelerate sales.  He stated that the drop in number of sales was an expected outcome therefore it is not much of an issue.  As I have been stating in blogs and comments the real issue is jobs. 
Valdell thinks the market will bounce around for a while with the market pretty much level.  We cannot expect a rapid recovery.  Because of the leveling of the market … (4 comments)

The Market is Slow - 09/12/10 04:09 PM
Another piece of evidence of a Slow market is the report that Orange County is on track to have the fewest mortgages taken out in over a decade.  Wow, that really is another piece of evidence of a slow market.  We can see a slow down in the purchases but with interest rates so low I would have thought that we would have had people flocking to the refi market.  Buyers I thought would have kept coming after the tax credit for the low interest rates and the low prices of homes.  But they are not!
What is causing the drop … (4 comments)
