LAS VEGAS ENTERS A "GOLDILOCKS" RECOVERY

July 22, 2008

NEW HOME SALES HOLD STEADY IN LAS VEGAS | www.lvrj.com

June's housing statistics suggest that the Las Vegas real estate market has entered a rolling "Goldilocks" recovery.  A rolling "Goldilocks" recovery is not hot.  It is not cold.  And, it may not be "just right" for everyone.    Rather, as the existing home market recovers, it will roll the new home market segment into recovery.   Those two market segments then "roll" the vertical market component into recovery.

Phoenix Attached Projects in Trouble

$3.1M lien filed against condo developer | www.bizjournals.com

The question many looking from the outside-in may soon start asking is, “How many buyers are there for $300 / square foot to $800 / square foot housing in Phoenix?”  As the single-family market bottoms out, the answer will come.  Hopefully the timing is sooner rather than later.

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?

For Buyers with Income, Feelings are Problem, not Financing

May 29, 2008

Consumers Are Downbeat on Economy | online.wsj.com

An improvement in consumer sentiment will lead to an improvement in new home traffic and home sales, as well as an improvement in other areas of the economy.  Buyers that “feel” good make confident purchases.  Watch consumer sentiment and confidence indices, as well as BREC traffic count figures, for improvements, which we expect late in 2008.
