Some Economic Update- from Wells fargo Senior Economist Mark Vitner

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Properties Ltd

Distressed Home Sales are still Increasing

Sales of Existing Homes rose 12.3 % in December 2010 which was well above expectations.

Gains were broad based with increases in single family + Condo sales

Distressed transactions however still account for a significant portion of total sales at 36%

which is an increase from 33% in November

Investors accounted for 20% of transactions.

All-cash sales also remain elevated at 29%

Over supply of existing homes remains a challenge

Single Family inventories fell

At the current rate of sales, it would take 78 months to clear the supply of homes.

In the coming months existing home sales should continue to increase modestly as private sector employment growth accelerates.

SO....... We need internal infrastructure jobs back in our country and decrease the out sourcing.

Build, Buy + Sell American!

I believe that we also have a lot of adjustable rate mortgages that are resetting this summer... payments are to escalate and homeowners may not be able to swing it.... hence, more foreclosures.
