Though tragic, last week’s unfortunate assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto created only a minor ripple in stock and bond markets. Housing was again the more pressing concern. On that sinking front, home prices in 10 major metropolitan areas in October were down 6.7% from a year earlier, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price indexes. The decline exceeded the previous record year-to-year decline of 6.3% in April 1991, when the economy was emerging from a recession. Meanwhile, sales of new homes continued on their downward spiral, falling to a 12-year low in November. Specifically, purchases tanked 9% to an annual pace of 647,000, which exceeded even the lowest estimate. The continued slowdown in home sales is also taking a toll on mortgage demand, with mortgage-application activity – both refinance and purchase – recently posting at the lowest level of the year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Weekly Recap
The economic news was generally positive last week, though every release seemed to be accompanied with a “yes, but.” For example, housing starts posted at 1.187 million annualized units in November, which beat the consensus estimate by over 10,000 units. But the nattering nabobs were compelled to douse any optimism with multiple buckets of pessimism, such as “the industry is still struggling with significant overhang,” and “housing starts would need to fall to around 500,000 annually to soak up the excess inventory.”
The GDP rose at a robust 4.9% annual rate – the strongest rate since 2003. GDP growth was powered in large part by continued consumer spending (which only occurs when consumers are confident about the future). In fact, consumer spending rose 1.1% in November, the most in more than two years, as incomes grew and shoppers took advantage of early holiday discounts. But the highlighted media response to the strong economic growth came from one prominent, pessimistic economist: “You can hear the screech and see the skid-marks of the economy slowing down from the third to the fourth quarter. We're going to go from this supercharged rate to somebody-slammed-on-the-brakes.'' There are still serious issues that must be confronted in both housing and mortgage lending. Yes, inventory levels are too high, and prices will likely need to fall further to stimulate more demand. Foreclosures are also on the rise. RealtyTrac reported 201,950 foreclosure filings in November, a 68% increase over November 2006. (But November's filings were actually a 10% decrease from October's 224,451, which showed a spike after an 8% decrease from August to September.) There's work to be done, to be sure, but it's important (and fair) to appropriately note improvements when they occur.

Fed cuts rate 1/4 pt
The Federal Reserve cut benchmark U.S. interest rates by a modest quarter-percentage point on Tuesday. Many economists were expecting a 50 basis point cut. The central bank's decision takes the federal funds rate, which governs overnight lending between banks, down to 4.25 percent. Wall Street was disappointed with the modest cut, but is is still a move that should help mortgage rates.

Mortgage Rate Freeze
The big news story of the week was undoubtedly the Bush administration's mortgage rate freeze negotiated with the country's largest lenders. The plan, dubbed Hope Now, is an alliance of financial-industry stalwarts, (including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo) that could provide relief to up to 1.2 million borrowers.
Hope Now offers assistance in one of three ways: freezing rates (up to five years), refinancing into a new private mortgage, or obtaining a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Borrowers who have rates scheduled to adjust between January 2008 and July 2010 and who are current on their payments and have been no more than 60 days late in the past year qualify for the deal.
The timing of the announcement was fortuitous, to be sure; the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that homeowners fell behind on their mortgage payments at the highest rate in more than two decades last quarter.
Fortunately, the economy continues to mitigate some of the subprime damage and defy conventional wisdom that it's headed toward a recession. On the contrary, employers hired more workers than forecast in November, with payrolls rising by 94,000 and hourly wages increasing 0.5% to $17.63.
Just as important, workers – new and old – were found to be more efficient: Worker productivity accelerated more than forecast in the third quarter, rising at an annual rate of 6.3%, while labor costs dropped 2%, the most in four years. Greater efficiency eases pressure for companies to raise prices to counter rising energy costs, further diminishing the threat of inflation.
Last week the 30-year fixed-rate loan averaged 5.96%, while the 15-year fixed rate loan averaged 5.65%, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey. These are levels unseen in over two years.

Back with updates
I would like to apologize to all of my readers. I've been out for about 2 weeks. Surprisingly for this time of year I've been extremely busy, I've been sick, & traveling for Thanksgiving.
Anyway I'm back & will try to get everyone up to speed on whats been happening.
My last Blog was on Nov. 13th, so I'll just summarize the activity since.
For Single Family Homes
-614 Westgate went contingent with a list price of $1,769,000
-2 New listings
-950 Woodward a 3bed 1bath was listed for $249,900 (the price is correct, its being sold as-is)
-75 Mulberry a 4bed 2.5bath home was listed for $579,000
-5 Price reductions
-9 cancelled listings
-3 Closings
-1423 Deerfield closed for $406,000
-2 Tamarisk Ln. closed for $850,000
-1414 Hazel closed for $1,300,000
-4 Pending Listings
-1026 Central for $316,100
-1023 Greenwood for $323,900
-923 Stratfor for $349,900
-626 Appletree for $1,079,000
In the attached homes
-4 Properties went under contract
-464 Inverarry went under contract with a list price of $199,900
-422 Kelburn went under contract with a list price of $267,000
-849 Bluebird went under contract with a list price of $324,900
-420 Pintail went under contract with a list price of $339,900
-New listing at 297 Tanager a 3bed 2.5bath townhome for $339,900

-2 Reactivated listings
-3 Cancelations
-2 Closings
-331 Redwing closed for $200,000
-451 Elm closed for $217,500
The equity markets have tumbled again over the last 2 weeks & banks continue to cry about their exposure to the subprime loan markets. We'll monitor this through the rest of the year.
As a slight bit of optimism, I'm seeing more activity on my listings & my buyers seem to be more proactive on looking & buying before year end.
I'll try to keep more current with the updates & apologize again for the gap.

Slow day for the Realty market...bad couple of days for the Stock market
I know this is a Real Estate blog, but today we saw another terrible move to the downside in the stock market.
11/9/07
Dow -1.69 Nasdaq -2.52% S&P -1.43%
What does this have to do with the Deerfield Real Estate market?... Actually a lot. These recent moves down are due to credit concerns with more banks reporting more problems. This effects consumer confidence, lending, & the list goes on & on.
Back to Deerfield Real Estate....we had a very slow day yesterday.
Single Family Homes
-New Listings @ 1444 Greenwood...3bed 1.5bath home listed for $639,000
-Price reduction @ 1513 Dartmouth...reduced from $799,900 to $789,900
Attached housing
-Nothing to report
Like I said, a very slow day yesterday.
Have a good weekend everyone & I'll be back on Monday.

Updates for Nov 3rd-5th
We have a few updates for the Deerfield market for Nov. 3rd-5th
-Single Family Homes
-1 new listing... A 3bed 2bath home @ 950 Appletree Ln. listed for $424,900
-1 pending listing....1044 Chestnut
-1 price reduction...838 Rosemary was reduced from $649,900 to $599,999
-2 closings...831 Foxhunt Trail closed for $620,000 & 855 Smoke Tree Rd. closed for $850,000
-Attached Housing
-No new listings
-2 price reductions
-1 closing...560 Inverrary Ln. closed on 11/5 for $160,000
-Land
-Lot 3 of Maya Ct. came back on the market $579,000
The trend for the Deerfield market (and surrounding areas as well) seems to be that the lower end of the market is still selling fairly well. I see this trend continuing into the end of the year & hopefully we'll see a pickup in the spring market.
Due to a few requests, I will be giving market stats for the month of Oct. within the next few days.

Slow Day
Not much new to report in Deerfield Real Estate.
No new listings today, no closings.
I'm not in the habit of reporting price changes, but due to the fact that there is nothing else to report...here we go
-195 River was reduced from $1,300,000 to $1,289,000
In the national picture
-Foreclosure rates are on the rise
-Mortgage rates end lower on the week
-30 yr. fixed 6.33%
-15 yr. fixed 5.99%
-1 yr. adjustable 5.66%
