What I learned today will have devastating ramification for the real estate marketing and in turn the entire financial and stock market and the broader economy as a whole.
If true…our real estate fate is seal. There will be more housing and real estate foreclosure carnage ahead. The road is long.
Prepare yourself and protect your family from this coming economic catastrophe.
PLEASE RATE, LINK, SHARE and SPREAD the word so others can learn about the real nature of our real estate and economic crisis. Don’t be a sponge to the talking heads that spew only that which benefits them and their bosses. Wake up!

From L.A Times:
Bulk of bank-owned homes aren’t even on the market yet
“Banks to unleash flood of REOs” at Inman News looks at the effect of foreclosures on the housing market this year:
Inventories of unsold homes are likely to swell in coming months as lenders begin to push a growing backlog of repossessed homes up for sale — often in communities already awash in distressed properties….
Because it can take weeks or months for lenders to put repossessed homes on the market, the impact of real estate-owned (REO) properties on inventories lags behind foreclosures. Government efforts to recapitalize banks through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other bailout measures may also have taken some of the heat off of lenders to unload REO properties at fire-sale prices.
But with the emphasis of TARP and other government relief efforts now expected to shift to creating jobs, helping troubled borrowers avoid foreclosure and providing incentives for home buyers, lenders could soon unleash a torrent of real-estate owned, or “REO” properties — even in markets already flooded with an oversupply of homes for sale.
“It’s almost like a tsunami — you can see it coming and you know it’s going to hit but you can’t get out of the way,” said Ann Stickel, vice president of affiliated services with Sarasota, Fla.-based brokerage Michael Saunders & Co.
So how many bank-owned properties aren’t even on the Multiple Listing Service yet? RealtyTrac senior vice president Rick Sharga puts the number at 75%. That’s a lot of houses.

Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) — The collapse in commercial real estate is preventing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke from declaring the economy and financial markets are healed.
Property values have fallen 35 percent since October 2007, according to Moodys Investors Service. Thats making it tough for owners to refinance almost $165 billion of mortgages for skyscrapers, shopping malls and hotels this year, pressuring companies such as Maguire Properties Inc., the largest office landlord in downtown Los Angeles, to put buildings up for sale.
Negative Fundamental
Demand for commercial space comes from employment and the income generated by that employment, said University of Pennsylvania Professor Joseph Gyourko, director of the Wharton Schools Samuel Zell and Robert Lurie Real Estate Center in Philadelphia. Mounting job losses are a really significant negative fundamental, signaling that conditions are going to be tough for the industry for a while, he said.
That may spill over into mounting losses at some banks. Forty-seven percent of loans at the 7,000-plus smaller U.S. lenders are in commercial real estate, compared with 17 percent for the biggest banks, according to New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Inflationary Holocaust. ‘Legendary investor Jim Rogers warned during a CNBC interview this morning that global central banks are creating the environment for an inflationary holocaust by their ceaseless overprinting of currency, a measure that isn’t even successful in stabilizing the stock market.
Rogers said that the only solution to the market crisis was to let failing banks and speculators go bankrupt and stop pumping endless amounts of liquidity into the system, labeling it outrageous that responsible investors and taxpayers are being made to bail out crooks on Wall Street.
“The way to solve this problem is to let people go bankrupt,” Rogers stressed, “All of this pumping money into the system is not going to save it – see what the market is saying, it’s saying we don’t buy that, let people go bankrupt,” he added.
“Then you will hit bottom and then you start over. The people who are sound will take over the assets from the people who aren’t sound and we will start over. This is the way the world has worked for a few thousand years,” said Rogers.
Rogers warned that the reliance on governments printing money would not aid a recovery and would only lead to the problem becoming worse in the future.
“We’re setting the stage for when we come out of this of a massive inflation holocaust,” he said.
Rogers said that excesses of credit and people becoming over-leveraged meant that they would now have to take some pain.
“Never before in world history were people able to buy houses with no money down, many people bought four or five houses with no money down and no job and then they did it with cars and student loans and credit card loans, you just think we say well that’s too bad we’re gonna start over nobody loses his job, be realistic,” said Rogers.
Rogers said that the G7 leaders, who are meeting this weekend, should “go down to the bar, have a beer and leave the rest of us alone, let the people who are sound succeed and let the other people fail.”
“What I’m afraid of is they’re gonna keep doing what they’ve been doing – which the market hates, you can see the market hates it – because this is going to unleash rampant inflation around the world, rampant confusion in the currency markets and you’re gonna have currencies gyrating all over the world,” said Rogers, repeating that the central bankers were unleashing an “inflationary holocaust”.
A CNBC expert then expressed his confusion at Rogers’ argument that overprinting of currency caused hyper inflation, seemingly displaying less grasp of basic economic cause and effect principles than a 5-year-old would.
Rogers again made the point, “When you print gigantic amounts of money and you flood the world with money, throughout history that has led to inflation.

Like I’ve been telling my friends for years, it’s a bubble stupid, it can’t last for ever. If the average young couple has to save money for 30 years just to buy their first starter home, then does that not tell you that something is wrong? Things were out of whack, not everywhere, but apparently in enough areas to have caused this mess that we are now in. I know there is more to it than that, but that is the main reason for our crisis.
We should never have had a housing bubble. If you find the ones responsible for the bubble, then you will have found the ones that are responsible for all of our pain.

The housing bubble is bursting and the decline is accelerating!
Here are graphs of inflation-adjusted, historical real estate prices.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble. Some economists claim housing prices are near a bottom, while others claim that the real estate bubble is the largest financial bubble in history and still has far to fall. This site aims to add to the housing bubble debate with inflation-adjusted graphs and spreadsheets showing that today’s real estate prices are quite abnormal, especially for many coastal metropolitan areas.
Notice that in the 25-year period from 1975 through 1999, real existing house prices stayed roughly within the range of $125,000 to $160,000, with an average during this period of $142,850. The United States median price was $180,100 as of the fourth quarter of 2008.

Housing prices to free fall in 2008 – Merrill
According to a Merrill Lynch report, home prices will drop 15 percent this year, and declines will continue in 2009.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The worst housing financial crisis in decades is only going to get worse, a Merrill Lynch report said Wednesday.
The investment bank forecasted a 15 percent drop in housing prices in 2008 and a further 10 percent drop in 2009, with even more depreciation likely in 2010.
By contrast, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) expects housing prices to remain flat in 2008. NAR did cut its home price estimate for the current quarter, however, to a 5.3 percent year-over-year decline, which represents the steepest drop in that price measure on record. But NAR sees an uptick in home prices in the last two quarters of 2008.
“Merrill Lynch’s figures are way too pessimistic, and they are unprecedented,” Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors chief economist told CNNMoney.com. “There is so much variation in local housing markets, and we see stable price conditions for 2008.”
The current housing crisis and the depreciation in home prices have pummeled the economy, with businesses and consumers cutting back on spending, raising the specter of a recession. “Lower sales and higher inventory for sales are lowering the velocity of transactions,” said Fritz Siebel, Director of US Property Derivatives for Tradition Financial Services. “That cannot be a sign of good health for the economy.”
But for those who think that the worst is over, Merrill Lynch said that housing prices still remain comparatively high. The brokerage believes that home prices are still far above historical norms when compared to other measures such as rent or GDP. “By our calculations, it will take about a 20 to 30 percent decline in home prices to correct this imbalance,” said the report.
Merrill Lynch believes that housing starts will most likely slide another 30 percent by the end of 2008 – a historic low.
The report says that the inventory situation only continues to worsen, as homebuilders are now looking at more than a nine months’ supply. “The current supply/demand environment does not favor a swift recovery in the housing market, in our view,” according to the report.
Yun agrees that the reduction in housing starts will not bode well for the economy, especially in the homebuilding industry, but he believes that the reduction will soothe the housing market by slowing the glut in inventory. “The reduction in housing starts is not stabilizing the economy, but it will stabilize the market,” said Yun.
