Shrimp Po’Boy

The paper-thin crust and pillowy crumb of a New Orleans—style French roll is essential to this classic sandwich—as is Crystal hot sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (about 36), peeled, deveined
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 4 8″-long French rolls, split horizontally
- Rémoulade (go to bonappetit.com for recipe) or mayonnaise
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
- Dill pickles
- Hot pepper sauce (optional), preferably Crystal
Preparation
Whisk first 8 ingredients in a small bowl to blend.
Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of a heavy wide pot. Add enough oil to measure 2″. Heat over medium heat to 350°.
Meanwhile, place shrimp and 2 tablespoons spice mix in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Pour buttermilk into another medium bowl. Whisk flour and cornmeal in another medium bowl.
Dip seasoned shrimp briefly in buttermilk, then coat with flour mixture. Working in batches, fry shrimp, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Open rolls and spread cut sides with rémoulade. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and shrimp. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Not much in the way of changes from last week’s update.
On the short sale list there was one price reduction and one sold to report. The home at 915 Fairview listed at $650,000 sold 01/26/2012 for $650,000.
On the REO list we also have just one price reduction to report and one sold. The condo at 872 Tanager #12 listed at $79,900 sold for $69,900 01/20/2012.
We finally have snow. We have needed it and people are in the area. There seems to be a significant increase in showing activity as reported by our front desk staff and January 2012 closings are significantly above January 2011 closings.

2011 Market Report & Graphs Single family home sales are down approximately 16.5% from 2010 to 2011 with only 96 sales reported by the MLS in 2011. Condominium sales are down approximately 6.25% from 2010 to 2011 with only 135 sales reported by the MLS in 2011. 2011 was mirroring 2010 sales through the first three quarters with a sharp drop off in sales in the last quarter leaving 2011 behind 2010 figures. Since most of our buyers are discretionary buyers, the grid-lock in Washington in the last quarter delayed many purchasing decisions by buyers. This may continue to be a significant factor in 2012 sales. The median sold price for single family homes dropped approximately 8.1% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $771,500 in 2011. The median sold price for condominiums dropped approximately 3.5% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $357,000 in 2011. Condominium sales include condominiums and town homes.

The decrease in median sold prices in 2011 over 2010 is largely a reflection of the significant number of short and bank owned sales in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market. Short and bank owned sales accounted for one in four home and condominium sales in 2011 as was the case in 2010. Incline village MLS reports a total of 231 home and condominium sales in 2011 of which 58 were distressed property sales.

This significant trend should continue through 2012. Of the 58 distressed sales in 2011, 27 were homes with a median sale price of $700,000 and 31 were condominiums and town homes with a median sale price of $269,900 as reported by the Incline Village MLS. Luxury condominium and town homes sales above $1,000,000 in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market dropped off significantly in 2011 while average and median sold prices were up slightly over 2010 figures. The Incline Village MLS reports 13 luxury condominium sales in 2010 and just four in 2011. The median sales price in 2010 was $1,200,000 and $1,400,000 in 2011. Luxury home sales above $2,000,000 in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market dropped off only slightly in 2011 while average and median sold prices dropped off significantly from 2010 figures. The Incline Village MLS reports 20 luxury home sales in 2010 and 17 in 2011. The median sales price in 2010 was $3,225,000 and $2,700,000 in 2011. There were more waterfront home sales in 2010.

The median sold price for single family homes dropped approximately 8.1% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $771,500 in 2011. The median sold price for condominiums dropped approximately 3.5% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $357,000 in 2011. Condominium sales include condominiums and town homes. The above chart depicts the number of annual sales reported by the Incline Village MLS from 2004 to 2011. Condominium sales include condominium and town home sales in Incline Village/Crystal Bay.

What’s Ahead for Home Prices in 2012

The median home price in the U.S. has plunged nearly 40% in a little over five years, but the worst is definitely over: The market has finally wrung out the last excess valuations born of the housing bubble. Before you break out the party hats, note that this doesn’t mean prices across the nation are poised to rebound anytime soon. Alex Villacorta, director of research and analytics at Clear Capital, a provider of real estate data and analytics, says the housing market is in a suspended state, with positive and negative factors offsetting one another. But he doesn’t expect another free fall in prices, assuming things are left to work themselves out and there are no further shocks to the economy.
Although the percentage of sales of distressed homes will rise, the federal government’s latest loan-modification program might allow as many as 1.5 million to two million homeowners to refinance, estimates Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. Zandi says that further home-price declines nationwide will be limited to 3% to 5% and that 2012 will be the year that prices finally stabilize — setting the stage for gains in 2013.
Short-lived spikes in prices will affect some cities sooner. When housing markets touch bottom and begin to stabilize, price appreciation tends to be spread unevenly, creating a lot of confusion about where the recovery is occurring and when, says David Stiff, chief economist at Fiserv Case-Shiller. Even within a single city, more desirable neighborhoods will stabilize first, while prices in other neighborhoods may fall at a rapid pace.
Touching bottom
In the year ending September 30, home prices across the U.S. fell by 2.6%, and the median home price stood at $171,250, according to Clear Capital. That comes on the heels of a 2.5% decrease from September 2009 to September 2010. In the five-plus years since the peak of the market, home prices nationally fell by 38.1%.
Theoretically, low rates should help push buyers to act. The average interest rate on 30-year fixed mortgages fell to 3.94% in the first week of October 2011, according to Freddie Mac. The past couple of years, predictions that rates would rise were based on the premise that the economy would improve, says Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance, an industry publication.
Other positive signs: Existing home sales increased during the summer and early fall of 2011, according to the National Association of Realtors, after a deep slump following the expiration of the first-time home buyer tax credit. Although the inventory of homes on the market and in foreclosure remains high, a lull in home building over the past three years is gradually easing the surplus.
The lure of affordability and low mortgage rates hasn’t increased buyer demand as much as one might expect. Some would-be buyers can’t get a mortgage, given lenders’ stiffer requirements. Many more are hesitant to pull the trigger on a home purchase, for fear that home prices will continue to fall or that their job prospects are uncertain. Although the recession has technically ended, the economy doesn’t feel better to many.
But Celia Chen, director of research at Moody’s Analytics, says that both corporate and household balance sheets are healthier and should lead to stronger economic growth and improved confidence. She anticipates more robust growth by the second half of 2012, assuming that Congress follows through on its debt-ceiling deal, the Fed keeps interest rates low, and there are no new shocks to the economy.
The foreclosure problem
The dark cloud of foreclosures still hangs over the housing market. The pace of foreclosures has slowed as lenders, loan servicers and regulators have sorted out paperwork and procedures in the wake of the robo-signing controversy that emerged a year ago. But RealtyTrac, which monitors the foreclosure market, says that foreclosure filings have begun to ramp back up.
Nevada, California and Arizona — among the epicenters of the boom and bust — still suffer the highest rates of foreclosure. Georgia, Florida, Utah, Michigan, Idaho, Illinois and Colorado round out the top ten. Among metro areas, Las Vegas still tops the list.
Currently, about 1.84 million home loans are 90 days or more delinquent (a strong predictor of foreclosure) but not yet foreclosed on, and 2.17 million have finished the foreclosure process but haven’t yet been offered for sale, according to Lender Processing Services (LPS).
Of course, the longer lenders take to work through the foreclosure glut, the longer it will take for home-price appreciation to return to its normal pace of 2% to 4% a year. To hasten the process, the federal government may introduce more policy initiatives — although whether they’ll have any meaningful impact or come soon enough is debatable. In October, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, expanded the Home Affordable Refinance Program to allow more underwater borrowers to refinance out of their mortgages into more manageable loans. The FHFA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Treasury have called for ideas to handle the foreclosures they own, such as converting them to rental properties for purchase by investors.

2011 Incline Village/Crystal Bay Market Report
Single family home sales are down approximately 16.5% from 2010 to 2011 with only 96 sales reported by the MLS in 2011.
Condominium sales are down approximately 6.25% from 2010 to 2011 with only 135 sales reported by the MLS in 2011.
2011 was mirroring 2010 sales through the first three quarters with a sharp drop off in sales in the last quarter leaving 2011 behind 2010 figures. Since most of our buyers are discretionary buyers, the grid-lock in Washington in the last quarter delayed many purchasing decisions by buyers. This may continue to be a significant factor in 2012 sales.
The median sold price for single family homes dropped approximately 8.1% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $771,500 in 2011.
The median sold price for condominiums dropped approximately 3.5% from 2010 to 2011 with the MLS reporting a median sold price of $357,000 in 2011. Condominium sales include condominiums and town homes.
The decrease in median sold prices in 2011 over 2010 is largely a reflection of the significant number of short and bank owned sales in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market.
Short and bank owned sales accounted for 1 in 4 home and condominium sales in 2011 as was the case in 2010. Incline village MLS reports a total of 231 home and condominium sales in 2011 of which 58 were distressed property sales. This significant trend should continue through 2012. Of the 58 distressed sales in 2011, 27 were homes with a median sale price of $700,000 and 31 were condominiums and town homes with a median sale price of $269,900 as reported by the Incline Village MLS.
Luxury condominium and town homes sales above $1,000,000 in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market dropped off significantly in 2011 while average and median sold prices were up slightly over 2010 figures. The Incline Village MLS reports 13 luxury condominium sales in 2010 and just 4 in 2011. The median sales price in 2010 was $1,200,000 and $1,400,000 in 2011.
Luxury home sales above $2,000,000 in the Incline Village/Crystal Bay market dropped off only slightly in 2011 while average and median sold prices dropped off significantly from 2010 figures. The Incline Village MLS reports 20 luxury home sales in 2010 and 17 in 2011. The median sales price in 2010 was $3,225,000 and $2,700,000 in 2011. There were more waterfront home sales in 2010.

Trust is powerful.. Accept this fact: YOU are an important person. YOU are somebody. YOU are unique and have talents and abilities only you can use. YOU were created to be a success. TRUST is a key part of you. Not trusting is contradictory to your life's purpose. You believe in yourself and you will count on your skills to give and receive trust. Its not much different than hitting the bullseye. You either do or you don't, you either are or you are not.
1. Make a Trust list of your past experiences and accompishments, your trust successes. I take mine back to my childhood. I listed the events that I remember had tremendous trust attached. Trust in my teachers, trust as part of school play, part time jobs, athletic events. Trust in family and friends. Doing this has helped me build trust in others. Trust is something that is built not in weeks or months. Trust takes years.
2. I like to read stories of successful men and women who have become great role models and how they embraced trust. How they measured trust and gave trust. Such stories inspire us and enable us to visualize doing the same thing. My subconscious is a map of past trusts both good and bad. I always want to error on the side of trusting. Being trusting on the outside helps me be trusting on the inside, enables me to trust others.
3. Offering your trust to others will build the trust others have of you and they will reciprocate.
4. Join groups, clubs or other organizations to build your trust experiences. From others you will learn to stand, offer trust and accept trust. As said, trust is an ongoing building of skills to improve upon. Never stop tuning these skills. In doing your own evaluation, we help others acquire and learn about trust, to offer trust and accept trust.
5. A firm handshake, a warm inbrace, a pleasant smile. You will feel better when you give someone these simple gestures, along with your trust, and they will reciprocate. I know I almot cannot help smiling myself when someone smiles. My trust is improved when they do. Is my trust without boundries? Of course not. But its is a start toward trust for both of us.
6. Don't be afraid to be the first to offer trust. Step up, step out. Help me trust you. In return I will work hard to help you trust me. All I have is my attitude, my reputation. On that I can do business, enjoy friends, and make new relationships. We that have trust are fortunate and can make a contribution.
7. As you learn the definition of trust, as you begin to develop trust and offer trust, you will begin to associate more with positive trusted-trusting people. You will begin to wear off on them and they you. The others are negative and you know how to deal with them, but my guess is the will begin to avoid you.
8. We are speaking here of big and important words. Do you think we should be careful throwing such important words such as trust, good character, positive, enthusiastic around so easily? Maybe we need to think about the distructivness of these important words as well as those that are bad. Some will say these are just words. It is in the actions that one tells who someone is.......trust or otherwise.. Probably true, but the definitions come from the actions and the way we express these definitions. Remember the saying.....Garbage-in-Garbage-out.
9. My trust of you comes from successful failures of mine. I hate to admit, some were my failure. Some were yours. But at the end of the day, my failures...our failures have been the steps to my success. To my learned trust, to my being able to use it and know just how important the word is...
Trust is like this post. I am making a post and trusting this submission to Activerain / Adobe EchoSign Trust Contest will win me a prize. You too can find out about this Contest by going to the Activerain blog.
