Heath Coker: Real Estate Data: South Jersey Edition

Good info. You might want to look at the report from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. It has positive info about PA as a whole state! PA had positive appreciation for 2007. New Jersey was a little less fortunate in 2007, but it has seen almost 500% appreciation since 1980 up to then. The report can be found at http://www.ofheo.gov/media/pdf/4q07hpi.pdf
and is referenced often in my blog on activerain.

Kenneth Cox: Check out this chart of inventory in San Jose

Wow, this confirms the California market is definetely closer to a bust! I've heard that some of the major cities in California were the worst hit around the nation in terms of falling home prices and sales. All you have to do is type in market bust in Google and Cali is in the top 3 discussions....

I'm a sucker for these types of articles too. I think it is great to recognize accomplishments for agents who put in the hours. I wish they would consider 35 under 35 or 40 under 40, this would at least give me a few years to try and make the cut!

First Time Home Buyers Loan: Hedge your real estate risk. For real this time!

I'm very cautious when it comes to paper instrumetns put out by Wall Street. It seems to me that this is just another method for Wall Street firms to promote derivatives. It is generally the public that loses in these types of speculative investments. I do agree though, this could be a very useful tool for sophisticated investors.

OakTown Home Buyer : Home Prices in Oakland vs. Berkeley

OakTown Home Buyer — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:10:41 -0700

I wonder if upswing in condo development in and around Oakland area has any bearing on that market. Berkeley inventory is a lot less likely to grow as the city has been almost fully developed. Great information and a graphs.

Toronto realtor: June 2008 National Real Estate Report Released

Toronto realtor — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:23:38 -0700

Few month ago I read so many articles, stating there would be bottom hit for sure during spring, but their prophecy didn't seem going on well. Maybe now it's the time. On the other hand, here in Canada real estate is loosing steam, some realtors believe faster than it should...

Charles: Las Vegas Existing Home Inventory Levels Stabilizing?

Charles — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:05:52 -0700

You were correct. Sales have been picking up over the last 45 days and inventory is leveling out a bit. Prices have started inching back up in several markets.

john beck real estate sytem: When is a recession not a recession going to be a recession?

john beck real estate sytem — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:29:48 -0700

Reason for the present recession is the after effect of full employment and industrial growth and net increase in GDP .Naturally this will be reversed automatically and the correction process can be stimulated on government intervention .By looking on the safer side of investment it will be better in the share market than in the real estate market .
