Home Prices Hit Lowest Mark in Nine Years
9:00AM 3/23/2011
You've heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, in real estate news this week, a picture has been painted by what seems like a thousand numbers -- and the picture ain't pretty, people.
Yesterday, the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) announced that sales of...
Three Key Rules for an Unpredictable Housing Market
6:30AM 3/15/2011
Some recent reports on the real estate market show home prices starting to stabilize in many areas. Other data suggests the housing market has further to fall. But whichever direction the numbers are heading, there are few tenets that smart buyers and sellers should always follow.
Housing remains in a slow, but uncertain recovery, as existing-home sales increased a less-than-expected 5.6% last month, to a 4.68-million-unit annual rate. At least, home sales rose in every U.S. region, and inventories fell.
The 2011 Housing Market Outlook: Unsettled, Underwater and Unsold
11:30AM 12/06/2010
Sales agreements for previously occupied homes rose 10.4 % in October. But that one spark of hope comes against a backdrop of declining prices, bulging inventories and ongoing legal issues around foreclosures. Don't count on a real estate recovery next year.
Don't Worry About Mortgage Interest Deduction Disappearing Soon
10:00PM 12/02/2010
A recent survey found that around three-quarters of home owners and two-thirds of renters said the mortgage interest deduction (MID) is important to them. Of course, the survey was conducted by the pro-homeowner National Association of Realtors.
Pending Home Sales Rebound Strongly in October
11:25AM 12/02/2010
Aided by an improving job market and comparatively low mortgage rates, U.S. pending home sales surged a record 10.4% in October. Still, the latest new- and existing-home sales reports suggest a sluggish housing recovery at least into early 2011.
Sales of existing homes were hit with their first monthly decline since July as October sales fell 2.2% to a seasonally adjusted 4.43 million-unit annual rate. However, the drop isn't too surprising, given the usual seasonal cooling of home sales in the fall.
Historically, buying a home has been advantageous for both owners and the country at large. Long considered the engine that drives the American economy, home ownership brings huge rewards to banks, mortgage companies and builders, and the building industry provides tons of jobs.

September's Drop in Pending Home Sales Suggests Uneven Recovery
3:10PM 11/05/2010
Pending home sales in the U.S. unexpectedly fell 1.8% in September, the National Association of Realtors reported Friday. It was the statistic's first decline in three months, and one that suggests that the housing sector's recovery is likely to remain uneven through at least early 2011.
Real estate whiplash: new data says market is recovering (or not)
6:00PM 10/27/2010
The name of the real estate news game these days is all numbers, all the time. It's not at all bizarre for four or five different sets of real estate market data to come out in a single week! That wouldn't be so terrible if it weren't for the conflicting messages that the real estate market reports...
