Drop in Calif. real estate licenses continues
2008-05-13 22:27:00
California Department of Real Estate statistics show that the number of real estate licenses has plateaued. But even though the number of licensees has decreased for a fourth consecutive month, the total remains close to record levels. Real estate licenses peaked in November at 549,244. That’s 1.5 licenses for each house sold in the state in all of 2007 by the California Association of Realtors’ count. Licensee numbers have decreased steadily since then, falling to 546,247 in March, the latest DRE number out. California real estate licenses soared during the housing boom, and people continued taking the state license exam in near-record numbers for a year after sales began to slump. Professionals say that their colleagues have now been forced to leave the business in droves, taking full-time jobs elsewhere. But many are keeping their licenses active and staying in local Realtor associations, either working part-time as agents or hoping to return to the business when the ...
Is Calif. housing mess really Starbucks’ big problem?
2008-04-26 05:06:00
Builders, brokers or bankers can complain about the real estate mess. But the CEO of coffee giant Starbucks, Howard Schultz? He says: “The current economic environment is the weakest in our company’s history, marked by lower home values, and rising costs for energy, food and other products that are directly impacting our customers.” The company also noted: “Contributing to the softness in revenues for the quarter was a mid-single-digit decline in U.S. comparable store sales, driven by decreased traffic. Of note, the California and Florida markets, where consumers have been especially impacted by the effects of the downturn in the housing market, account for 32 percent of Starbucks U.S. retail revenues and 31 percent of its U.S. company-operated retail store portfolio.” What's the real problem ... Yes, housing! Snooty service Poor products High prices Tough ...
Calif. home prices down 22.48%, nation’s worst
2008-04-22 20:55:00
First American LoanPerformance says California home prices were falling at a 22.48% annual pace in late March, again, worst in the nation. Next in this dubious line was Florida (-17.41%), then Nevada (-16.67%), Arizona (-16.32%), and Ohio (-10.78%.) California has been at the bottom of this national ranking since May. (What’s behind the price slump? Golden State foreclosures are soaring. READ HERE!) The nation’s top performer was Utah, with 4.9% annualized gains, the second consecutive month that state’s taken the crown. (As an aside, with an eye to today’s Democratic primary: Pennsylvania home prices are falling at 6.46%, the nation’s 36th ranked market by this FALP math. In March 2007, Pennsylvania homes were appreciating at a 1.8% pace.) FALP says … “28 states now show year-over-year real estate declines … However, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, there are now 36 states with decreasing property values.” To read more, CLICK ...

Calif. home prices down 20.67%, nation’s worst
2008-03-28 20:30:00
First American LoanPerformance says California home prices in February were falling at a 20.67% annual rate, worst in the nation again. The state’s seen the largest depreciation in home values, by this math, since May. Just behind California in this sad list, ranked by mid-month results, is Florida (-15.74%); Nevada (-15.68%); Arizona (-13.67%); Minnesota (-9.42%) and politically key Pennsylvania (-7.75%.) Note that as recently as June, Pennsylvania — host to the next Democratic presidential primary — had shown price appreciation by FALP’s math. Back then, the Keystone State’s housing market ranked 28th in the U.S. vs its 45th place showing for February. Wonder why the economy’s a hot currency on the campaign trail lately? Santa Ana-based FALP says: “Twenty-eight states now show year-over-year real estate declines … However, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, there are now thirty-six states with decreasing property values.” Close...
Realtors think ‘08 is bottom for Calif. sales
2008-03-24 20:00:00
The California Association of Realtors is now projecting that 332,100 homes will sell this year, revised downward by just over 2,000 sales from the association’s prediction in October. The revised forecast also projects that the median price of a single-family house in the state will drop 9% this year, as opposed to a 6% drop expected in October. CAR Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young delivered those revised numbers at a Newport Beach Association of Realtors meeting on Wednesday, saying that this latest forecast takes into account the full impact that the credit crunch is having on the state’s real estate market. Under the revised forecast, the median single-family house price is expected to drop to $505,100 this year, compared to a 2007 median house price of $558,100. The sales total is down from a peak of 625,000 homes sold in 2005. Appleton-Young said she believes that sales likely have hit bottom this year, but how long they will stay at these levels is anyone&rsq...
Calif. real estate licenses fall for 2nd month
2008-03-22 01:01:00
California Department of Real Estate figures show that the state’s real estate license total fell in January for a second straight month. Although the decrease from December to January is slight, it’s the first back-to-back monthly decline since November and December 1998. The number of licenses fell to 548,879 in January. While still the third highest on record, that’s down 0.01% (or 80 licensees) from December’s total of 548,959. December, in turn, fell 0.1% from November’s all-time high of 549,244 licenses. A related item posted here on Jan. 31 reported incorrectly that December marked the state’s first year-over-year decrease since March 1999. That upward trend remains unbroken, with current license figures still higher than a year ago. The state’s real estate license total also had climbed steadily month in, month out since March 2002. That upward trend ended in December. Here are statewide license figures for the past 13 months: Mont...

Calif. worst U.S. home market with 18.65% loss
2008-03-04 19:43:00
First American LoanPerformance reports that, by its math, California home values in mid-January are off 18.65% from a year ago, the nation’s worst. It’s an unwanted crown the state has worn since May. In January 2007, California prices were falling at a 2.5% annual rate. Next worst was Florida (-13.87%), followed by Nevada (-11.83%) and Arizona (-11.06%.) Locally, LA/OC prices were down 15.43% in the year ended mid-January, FALP reports. That’s second worst among the 34 big U.S. markets it tracks. The worst? Inland Empire homes, down 18.24% (Oh, by the way, LA/OC prices were up 1.4% in January 2007.)

Calif. home price off 18.7%, nation’s worst
2008-02-14 17:30:00
First American CoreLogic says California home prices were falling at an 18.7% annual rate through late January, the nation’s largest decline. California has held that dubious distinction of FACL’s worst performing state since May. FACL’s “paired sales” pricing indexes track gains or losses on individual homes that sold vs. watching changes in an overall median or average of all homes sold. (Read latest report HERE!) It’s monthly snapshots are based on the first three weeks of activity in a given month and are later updated to full-month reports.

Calif. ranks 32nd for outbound van moves
2008-02-11 21:00:00
Allied Van Lines’ moving data for 2007 shows that 52% of its California moves were outbound. My trusty spreadsheet tells me that ranks California 32nd among 48 states (no Hawaii or Iowa) in terms of a state’s relative “draw” for new residents. Michigan (67% outbound) was worst; Arkansas (38%) was best. Looking at old Allied reports (this was this van lines’ 40th annual tally), you see an improvement in California’s outbound van traffic. In 2005, for example,57% of California moves via Allied were outbound. That improvement, though, came as the number of moves out of California dropped 22% while inbound moves were down only 6%. Competitor United Van Lines showed 50.8% of its California moves were outbound in ‘07, the lowest rate in five years. (That report IS HERE.) Van moves are usually seen as a barometer of management-level relocations, reinforce the notion that many families find O.C. a challenging place to call home, particularly due t...

Calif. real estate licenses suffer first drop since ‘99
2008-02-01 00:12:00
The California Department of Real Estate reports that real estate licenses decreased vs. the year before in December for the first time since March 1999. As of December, the state had 548,959 folks with a real estate license — still the third highest number on record and equal to one licensee for every 22 Calif0rnia households or one for every 1.4 homes sold last year. But that’s down 0.1% from the number of licensees in December 2006 and from last November. The housing downturn and revised license-exam requirements are possible factors in the decrease. Local Realtor associations are budgeting for membership drops of up to 15 percent in 2008. (See blog post HERE!) Local real estate execs say agents and mortgage brokers have left the business in droves, or taken other jobs to make ends meet as the number of sales fell to their lowest level in at least two decades.

For October, our Golden State clocked in with a 14.83% loss in a year, followed by Florida (-11.01%), Nevada (-10.97%), and Arizona (-9.43%).

2008 Ford Focus qualifies as partial zero emissions vehicle (PZEV) in Calif
2007-12-10 14:42:00
The new U.S.-market 2008 Ford Focus may not offer the diesel engines available to European buyers, but it can produce some exceptionally clean exhaust. Buyers in California can choose a variation that meets the requirements for a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) certification. To get that honor cars must meet the Super Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle standard, emit no fuel vapors and offer an extra long 15-year, 150,000-mile warranty on emissions equipment. The SULEV emissions standard means the Focus puts out eighty percent fewer smog-forming pollutants than the average new 2007 car. The new Focus may not be the prettiest face on the road, but there's no doubt it goes a long toward eliminating noxious pollutants which is more than can be said for the European diesel engines.[Source: Detroit News]

Are Calif. new home prices 13.8% too high?

Builder consultant Real Estate Economics in Irvine has new market index out for the state. Here’s a summary of what REE sees in its Composite Index of Leading Indicators, combining the jobs-to-housing and mortgage cost-to-income indexes … • Currently, the Composite Index resides below the equilibrium line, but the trend is toward the equilibrium line. As it approaches equilibrium, increasing opportunity will be evident for land purchases and housing construction. • This Composite Index implies that current housing prices must fall by a total of 13.8% from 4th quarter 2007 net price levels in order to fully reach equilibrium. This is a higher level of drop than our previous method of forecasting, but this composite index-based estimated is considered much more reliable than other measures. • Composite Index leads market changes by 12 to 18 months. For example, the Composite Index in July 2006 effectively describes market conditions from the mid to latter Year 2007....

Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing Showtime for Californication
2007-11-25 21:27:00
I guess I saw this coming but I wasn?t expecting it to take so long! The latest successful TV show from Showtime was named Californication and the first thing that came to my mind was that humm isn?t it a Red Hot Chili Peppers? song? But nothing was said about the matter and I even thought there was some kind of agreement for the use of that word?Guess not! After this season of Californication was over, RHCP woke up on Nov 19 and decided to sue saying "'Californication' is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career. For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right."That CD came out soo long ago that they should be thanking Showtime to make people remember their glory days! Oh RHCP still want the show to stop using the name and to turn over any profits made by using it. I say whatever? they should get over their rock ass egos!!Read More: Californication Last Episode of the First Season!Californication with David Duchovny
