A ) Housing Slow and Points to
Obama Economic Quandary

The massive stimulus package will be running against a slowing economy and unemployment that may add 500 ,000 persons per month to the unemployment rolls.

Now today’s new that price and sales sales are still falling – the only glimmer of hope is the decline in starts that will eat at the inventory numbers.

Sales of existing homes plunged far more than expected last month as buyers recoiled from October’s financial wreckage on Wall Street. The median sales price fell by the largest amount on record.
The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday existing home sales fell 8.6 percent to an annual rate of 4.49 million in November, from a downwardly revised pace of 4.91 million in October.

Sales Price Drops 13 %

The median sales price plunged 13.2 percent in November to $181,300, from $208,000 a year ago. That was the lowest price since February 2004, the biggest year-over-year drop on records going back to 1968 and most likely the biggest drop since the Great Depression.

Lawrence Yun, the normally upbeat chief economist of the Realtors group, found few positive spots in the month’s dismal data. But he did note that after prior stock market crashes home sales usually rebounded within a few months.

“We hope that, similarly, the current slowdown in home sales activity is a short-term phenomenon,” Yun said, noting that people in the real estate industry are “crossing our fingers” that the market will recover. Sales fell around the country, with the largest drop — of 12 percent — in the Northeast.
Nationally, the Realtors group estimates that sales of distressed properties made up 45 percent of all property sales in November.

Almost A One Year Inventory

There were 4.2 million unsold homes on the market in last month. At the current sales pace, it would take 11.2 months to sell all the properties, matching a record set last spring.

Housing Horrors

Housing starts have nosedived from 2.3 million, seasonally adjusted at annual rates, in January 2006 to 791,000 in October, a post-World War II low (Chart 1). Meanwhile, homebuilder sentiment is now at record lows. Leaping foreclosures, among other forces, have pushed up the homeowner vacancy rate. Some of the victims of declining homeowner rates are moving into rental apartments as the bubble years’ lure of homeownership fades or they lose their houses. But others are doubling up with friends and family, thereby adding to empty house inventories.

Foreclosure Sales

As lenders spilled foreclosed houses on the market, they were sold for only 70% of the unpaid loan balance in the third quarter compared with 78% in 2007, and losses averaged 44% of the loan balance compared with 29% a year earlier. With about 40% of existing home sales coming from foreclosures, or “short sales” in which the mortgage amount exceeds the house’s value, the prices for selling homeowners and builders are forced to decline to compete.

Housing Recovery Essential to Economic Recovery

To end the crisis, four developments are needed, in the view of gary Schilling . The elimination of excess house inventories will probably continue until at least the end of 2010, as discussed earlier. The writedowns and recapitalizations of financial institutions — at least those related mainly to mortgage-related problems that have unfolded so far — are well along.

Subsidizing the mortgages of underwater homeowners is beginning to develop. And of course the quicker the excess house inventories are eliminated, the more limited will be further house price declines and the fewer will be the additional homeowners who will slip under water.
