If and When?
Market is continuing to deteriorate in terms of
backlog of unsold homes and price declines
• Price decline is approaching that experienced in the early 1990s
Major problem now is buyers sitting on the
sidelines
• New construction is not adding much inventory (that’s good)
• Inventory in absolute terms is stable/modestly improving (that’s good)
To get buyers back in the game:
•
•
•
•
They need confidence they will have a job
They need confidence prices will not drop further
They need reasonable access to mortgage credit
They need low interest rates
Major national economic and buyer incentives
could take hold in second half of 2009 to
provide some stability, if not recovery.
50-50 chance we will see price and inventory
stability by the end of the year, but at low
levels
Look for a very gradual recovery, when it
comes
