Economic reporting disclosed last week suggest employers are laing off fewer workers, buisnesses are ordering more computers and appliances, and consumers are spending with more confidence.

Home-sales slide means no rebound in '10 in Central Ohio and Clintonville. - 12/23/10 01:33 PM
Any remaining homes for a central Ohio real-estate upsurge this year were dashed by figures released yesterday, showing a continued drop in sales. The number of homes sold in central Ohio fell 27.9 percent in November compared with a year ago, when the market was fueled by a federal home-buying tac incentive.
The figures, coupled with the number of homes now in contract, virtually ensure that central Ohio home sales will fall below the level of last year, which was the slowest year since 2000. Through November, 18,216 homes has been sold this year in central Ohio, compared with 18,771 during … (1 comments)

***Home construction up after 2 months of decline nationally*** - 12/20/10 04:07 PM
The amount of new construction homes has climbed up in November after almost 2 months of declines. Builders broke ground last month on a seasonally adjusted 555,000 units, a 3.9 percent rise from October, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

They are down 76 percent from their peak in January 2006, and 45 percent under the 1 million annual rate that analysis say is consistent with a healthy housing market.

===>Foreclosures thin ranks of underwater borrowers in Central Ohio and Clintonville<=== - 12/17/10 12:29 PM
The homeownership rate could fall below 60 percent if homeowners who are deeply underwater end up losing their homes, a new report from mortgage data aggregator CoreLogic suggests. Some 10.78 million homeowners were "underwater" during the 3Q, meaning they owned more on their mortgages that their homes were worth. About 22.5 percent of all homeowners with mortgages had negative equity.
That's a slight decline from the 10.97 million homeowners who CoreLogic estimates were underwater in the 2Q, but the improvement was driven primarily by foreclosures rather than rising home values. So far this year, the ranks of underwater homeowners have thinned … (1 comments)
