O.C. houses off $199,000 from peak in mid-May
2008-06-06 18:04:00 Latest homebuying stats from DataQuick, for the 22 business days ended May 20, show modest sales strength, with O.C. deals closed still running above 2,000 residences — a level not seen from September to March. (Psst! That’s still not great. The 1988-2007 monthly average is 3,793!) But what has it taken to get O.C. homes moving a bit again? Like any retailer, a sale! Just 15 of O.C.’s 83 ZIPs have median selling prices above a year ago. (Full ZIP analysis IS HERE!) So look at this “discount” pricing by key O.C. slices … • The median selling price of a single-family houses is now $199,000 cheaper (a 27% markdown) vs. the June ‘07 peak of $734,000. • Condos are $105,000 (-22%) below March ’06’s $470,000 high. • Builders sell new residences $434,500 below the record of February ‘05 at $864,000 (that’s -50%, HALF OFF!) • Overall, the countywide median of $480,000 is down $165,000 (-26%) from its June ‘07 t...
Banned from buying houses, foreigners opt for long lease
2008-06-06 08:41:00 With the Goa state government ?banning foreigners from buying properties in the state?, local builders have fine tuned their strategies and are promoting five-year leases among tourists. There are no official figures to prove the trend, but lawyers and builders agree that this is definitely increasing, with several builders from the state organizing road shows and exhibitions in UK to attract customers to Goa. But something needs to be done as houses are being leased to foreigners at a huge price, making it difficult for Goans to invest in homes. Purchasing of property by foreigners has come to a standstill and it?s difficult to execute any deed of sale as the procedure is no longer simple, thus forcing them to seek options like lease, if they intend to stay for long periods in the state. Non-residents require permission from Reserve Bank of India to purchase a house or property in Goa. ?But if the foreigner stays 182 days in India and shows the intention to reside for indefinite pe...

2-For-1 Houses In San Diego
2008-06-06 04:06:00 I found this interesting article on Reuters about a savvy developer who is offering "Buy One Get One Free" on row houses in the San Diego area. With the purchase of a $1.6 M luxury home in the upscale city of Escondido in northern San Diego County, you can get a $400k row house for free! Great marketing and a gutsy way to improve your sales figures. The townhouse aren't too shabby either- with four bedrooms, four baths, six car garages and swimming pools they aren't exactly sheds. "We are targeting a niche market of investors who are interested in the opportunity to buy a new home for themselves and get a free rental property or second home for family members," developer Michael Crews Read More Click Here

Residents Seek Ban on New Houses
2008-05-28 08:18:00 Despite of the fact that the Haryana government has failed to provide adequate water and power to the existing population, the Haryana government continues to indiscriminately release licenses to developers for more projects. Being worried about the severe depletion of groundwater which will in turn lead to environmental and ecological degradation due to mindless and unplanned development. The residents' associations of Gurgaon have moved the Supreme Court, seeking a complete ban on any more residential and commercial projects in Gurgaon and surrounding areas. They have demanded that the state agencies should first ensure adequate water supply to the existing population before thinking of future expansion. The petition also sought immediate ban on mass-scale extraction of scarce groundwater and its misuse for construction and commercial activities by the builders. What's more, due to shortage in canal water supply, 70 per cent of the total water demand is being met by extracting g...

People who live in glass houses shouldn?t stage an Olympic protest
2008-05-20 15:49:00 Though a little late in the game, calls for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics can still be heard. For instance, President Bush and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev plan to attend the August 8 opening ceremonies. But French President Nicolas Sarkozy may be a no-show unless Chinese authorities negotiate with Tibetan leaders. Since the March 10th uprising in Tibet, Chinese security forces have terrorized Tibetans by not only firing upon, but “disappearing” protesters. They also occupied monasteries and villages. Meanwhile, 194 American rabbis recently signed a letter protesting China’s support for Sudan and its brutal oppression of Darfur. Besides investing billions of dollars to help prop up the brutal Khartoum regime, China has sold it assault rifles and other weapons. “Insecurity,” reports Foreign Policy in Focus’s John Feffer, “which poses the greatest threat to civilians and humanitarians in Darfur, derives directly from the arrogant def...
Do Open Houses Work in the Santa Barbara and Montecito Areas?
2008-05-20 00:53:00 As a real estate agent here in the Santa Barbara and Montecito area, it is almost impossible to sell a home unless you get people in to first see the home. With this said, one of the main first questions a Realtor is asked upon listing a home for sale is...how will their property be shown. That begs the question: Are open houses a big selling tool? Answer: No/Not really/ Barely/It can be... Most likely you will get some version of this answer from a seasoned real estate agent. The problem for many agents is that the majority of home sellers in the Santa Barbara area view open houses as a right. If an agent is unwilling to hold their home open for 2-4 hours on a nice sunny weekend afternoon, week after week, waiting for prospects to come rolling through the door with an offer in hand, they feel cheated. But do open houses work for the seller. Here is what Realtors know and sellers should know about open houses if they don't already...

Buy stocks. Sell houses.
2008-05-18 13:52:00 Here's the S&P 500 chart for the past three years. You'll note that most HP'ers went to cash last fall, and avoided the carnage through March. And then many of you have posted here or written me that you've gone back in and scooped up some bargains recently. Nice. And of course, a lot of HP'ers made a lot of money shorting REIC stocks these past couple of years. Again, nicely done.I don't give stock picks here because when I have in the past (short or long) all we get is daily "HA! I told you! Countrywide is ROCKING! DOPES! CFC to $100!" kind of garbage. And many of us have been wrong about the general market before - thinking that it would fall further and earlier as housing crashed, although any stock connected to real estate and lending did.So I want you all to be clear over the past few weeks that I've modified my neutral stance. Previously I was a picker, and not a bull and not a bear. I recommended buying good companies with good earnings with good P/E ratios and go...
