National Economic Outlook (August 2013)

August 5, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

The pace of job growth in July was unchanged from the 1.7 percent annual rate of previous months, but the details suggest an economy that will do modestly better for the rest of the year. Most importantly, jobs in business services were up 3.5 percent from last year.

Business services is one of the largest sectors of the economy, on a par with health care and government, and bigger than retail or manufacturing. Earlier this year it was growing at a 3 percent rate, in the last few months around 3.5 percent; it seems only a small increase but it means that businesses are expanding again.

National Economic Outlook (June 2013)

June 10, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

The economic recession only lasted a year, but there wasn't a recovery for homes because prices had climbed much too high and builders had built way too many of them. Prices had to fall, not just back to a “normal” level, but to an even lower level so that the large inventory of excess homes could be moved – a sort of clearance sale. We're not yet done with that sale – see the large number of mortgages still delinquent – but enough has been cleared out so that prices can drift up to a more normal level.

United States Real Estate on Sale?

April 22, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

Demand for U.S. real estate by foreign investors has exploded over the last year.  The first reason has been the weakness of the U.S. dollar.  That has allowed foreign buyers to invest in U.S. real estate that produces favorably high yields, as well as profiting from the currency trade. These two factors compound to give foreign investors greater returns.

Since 2006 property values in America had declined in many markets by as much as 70%.  Now with the ongoing manipulation tactics of the Federal Reserve Bank, Ben Bernanke’s QE to infinity, and suppressed real estate inventory by the major banks, real estate prices have been rebounding in most U.S. real estate markets.  That explains some of the reasons foreign investors are taking their capital and placing it in U.S. investment properties.

Zombie Foreclosures

April 10, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

Hundreds of thousands of homes in the US are now labeled as “zombie” foreclosures. That's when the owner of a foreclosed home leaves only to find out years later that he or she still legally owns the home and is on the hook for property taxes and other fees. Such cases occur in more than a third of foreclosures, industry figures show.

Although it's hard to quantify exactly how many homes fall into the category, real estate information company RealtyTrac says that, in the first three months of the year, roughly 302,000 homes qualified as “zombie” properties because the owner has moved out, but the bank has not yet taken possession.

Real Estate Market Trends for 2013

March 26, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

The first quarter of 2013 is almost over and so far, a few trends have emerged in real estate.  These trends are not set in stone, nor can we be sure that they will continue on the same trajectories throughout the rest of the year.  As with any other major part of the economy, much of real estate depends on external factors such as employment, interest rates, and general economic conditions.

With that being said, the first quarter of 2013 has established a few trends in the national market that extend into regional and local markets and could point to broader movement throughout the rest of the year.
