Home Price Indices Disappoint | www.realestateeconomywatch.com

The recent release of the Case-Shiller home price index for March was disappointing news for the housing markets. Other home price measures for April-- the FHFA purchase-only home price index and the median price for existing homes also disappointed the markets. Home price deterioration and weak home sales are keeping the housing markets from recovery.

Why is there no effort by the media to understand the DEMAND side of the housing industry?

June 2, 2008

The Truth Behind Florida's Housing Numbers | online.wsj.com

This article is just another example of somewhat reckless reporting by the “drive-by” media. Yes, there was excessive overbuilding of housing during the three years prior to 2006.  Yes, there is a huge number of empty or unsold housing that must be sold over the next few years.  This message is old and it has been beaten to death -- supply – supply – supply.  It’s time for new media people to step up and deal with demand.  It’s time for media people with housing knowledge and business savvy to study and put forward visions of the housing recovery.  We need in-depth segmentation of facts.  In south Florida, unsold, high rise, luxury condo’s have very little to do with current and future housing needs of the mass workforce.  Why is such housing data merged with all other housing data as if they are one and alike?  Why is there no expressed understanding of the limited amount of undeveloped land remaining in south Florida  for the very certain growth of housing that will come?

Continued Housing Difficulties

May 14, 2008

The Housing Crisis is Over | online.wsj.com

The housing bust is not over and trends continue to be negative.  The only positive activity is that homebuilding stocks have gone up, without a good reason.  We still have a ways to go to work through all this.
