| Why This Housing Bust Is Worst Ever: The American Dream Ends | | 2008-07-09 11:48:00 | | The current housing downturn isn't over and is "much much worse" than past downturns, says Barbara Corcoran, who built The Corcoran Group into a multi-billion firm during the real estate busts of the mid-1970s, 1980s and early 1990s.This downturn is "grossly different" than those past cycles because homeowners are much more willing to "walk away" from homes, says Corcoran, who sold her namesake firm in 2001 for a reported $66 million and is now an author and widely cited real estate guru.Just a few foreclosures - which Treasury Secretary Paulson says are unavoidable - can "put a pall on an entire neighborhood" by putting downward pressure on all local prices, she says.The good news is that there's a "Macy's Day sale" in housing right now and buyers are starting to step in. But there aren't enough "brave souls" to stem the decline which Corcoran says will take prices down another 5%-to-10% nationally and end next Spring - in a best case scenario. | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| Credit, housing concerns wipe $1.3 trillion from S&P 500's companies in 2008 | | 2008-07-08 11:38:00 | | NEW YORK - UNITED States financial companies have lost more than US$1 trillion (S$1.4 trillion) in value this year, and yet another decline on Monday shows concerns aren't going away soon.Banks and brokerages began the week lower on the same fears that have been proven toxic since last summer in the ongoing credit crisis. The financial sector was hit with a confluence of troubles on Monday: cautious remarks from a Federal Reserve official and new capital concerns at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.The drop in names like Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch caused the financial section of the Standard & Poor's 500 index to lose almost US$150 billion in value on Monday, according to the rating agency. That means S&P 500's 85 financial components have lost some US$1.3 trillion since the sector reached a high last October.Even more startling is that shares of 35 of the companies, which include insurers, have lost more than half their value so far this year.

| France's housing hiccups | | 2008-07-02 16:12:00 | | France never really bought into the US-style property frenzy with the same zeal as Britain. The French have generally shunned variable-rate mortgages, with their element of unpredictability, and home-lending practices have toed a more conventional line.Nonetheless, a tide may be turning in France, where existing home prices fell 0.8% in the first quarter of this year - after rising just under half a percent in the previous quarter. In Paris itself, prices were still up 1.1% in the first three months, but that marked a slowdown from the 2% increase in the year-earlier period. And elsewhere in the Greater Paris region known as Ile de France, home prices declined, falling 1% in the Val d’Oise, north of the capital.But the real shock stats are to be seen in housing sales. Year-on-year sales of all homes plummeted some 17% in May in France. In Ile de France, sales tumbled some 21%.

| Hugyfot HFC-40D Underwater Housing Review | | 2008-06-27 08:51:00 | | The combination of the Canon EOS 40D and the Hugyfot HFC-40D Housing is an excellent one. The underwater housing fits the camera like a glove and is very compact and waterproof to a depth of 300 feet. Its round curves and matte black colour make this housing look beautiful. Unfortunately it is somewhat difficult to operate the underwater housing for people with small hands. The fisheye port has no obvious distortion and the housing does not suffer from steaming up at all, not even at huge temperature changes.

Australia's population increased 1.59%, or by 331,872 people, last year, but the country is reportedly experiencing a construction shortfall of 30,000 new houses a year."This kind of population growth will support the housing market, but it means that we're facing a long-term under-supply problem regardless of what may look like an over-supply in today's softening (conditions)."Mr Lawless said buyers, particularly second or third-home owners with strong cash reserves, were well positioned to buy investment properties in the today's environment of flat price growth and oversupply.

But what about the tenants?I drove an old friend "home" last night. She told me she was looking for another place to live because the three family house she and her son were living in had been foreclosed on. The weird thing about it was that the house was in foreclosure three months before she moved in; the owner knew it and didn't tell her. Turns out I know the guy who lives downstairs from my friend, he's the son of an Arise member. He'll be out on the street, too.The owner told me friend that she should go ahead and look for another apartment, and that on the day she found one, he would write her a check for first month's and security at the new place if she agreed to sign a paper abandoning all future claims.

Crosson, speaking tonight, sets the table with this thought: "Long Island is losing young people at the same time the baby boomer [retirement] tsunami is beginning, [and] we will be in serious trouble. ... The Island's economy depends on the availability of young people in the workforce, and if we don't have that, the cost of living goes even higher, and [business] growth will be virtually impossible."

| Subal ND30 underwater housing for Nikon D300 dSLR review | | 2008-04-30 08:39:00 | | When the Nikon D300 was released last summer (’07) I along with many other underwater photographers recognised that its introduction coupled with the relatively low retail price would substantially influence uwp world over. In my role as uwp educator I decided to ‘jump on the bandwagon’ and upgrade from my trusty, reliable and much loved D200.You need to know that I have favoured Nikon since my days with a Nikon F2 and Oceanic housings of the 80’s. I have owned and used Subal housings since the introduction of the Nikon F801 in the early 1990’s. In my teaching role I regularly instruct in Ikelite, Sea & Sea, Nexus and Hugyfot DSLR housings. Whilst I’ll endeavour to be impartial as I can, the influence that Nikon and Subal have had on my own photographic career cannot be ignored. I am unable to compare the D300 against our Canon cousins but I do have sufficient experience using the D200 to compare against the Nikon D300.

| Sealux CD300 Housing for the Nikon D300 Review | | 2008-04-30 08:31:00 | | Whilst my previous two Sealux housings were functional and durable (see http://www.underwaterdisplay.net/rig for reviews) the CD300 shows an improvement in aesthetics and ergonomics with the introduction of some subtle changes including: curved handles and conically tapered flat ports for close-up and macro work.A feature on Sealux housings which I think is a good design attribute is the raised inner lip on the housing body which stops water falling back into the housing when the housing back is removed after a dive. This also serves as a guide to placement of the lid on the housing body for sealed closure. Attention to detail is evident in the design of the CD300. Mineral glass rather than polycarbonate is used for the window over the D300 monitor display and this does justice to the resolution and clarity of the D300’s display. This is an important feature and one which rated highly in my deciding whether to purchase. The monitor window is visible with the 150 degree viewfinder rot | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |

| Housing slump could exceed drop of Great Depression: economist | | 2008-04-22 20:41:00 | | NEW HAVEN (Connecticut) - AN INFLUENTIAL economist who long predicted the housing market bubble cautioned on Tuesday that the slump in the US housing market could cause prices to fall more than they did in the Great Depression and bailouts will be needed so millions don't lose their homes.Yale University economist Robert Shiller, pioneer of the widely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said there's a good chance housing prices will fall further than the 30 per cent drop in the historic depression of the 1930s.Home prices nationwide already have dropped 15 per cent since their peak in 2006, he said.'I think there is a scenario that they could be down substantially more,' Mr Shiller said during a speech at the New Haven Lawn Club.Mr Shiller's Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index is considered a strong measure of home prices because it examines price changes of the same property over time, instead of calculating a median price of homes sold during | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

And despite what you may hear, policies that are good for housing are not necessarily good for the nation.An article in today's New York Times details the scary amount of influence that the lobbies in these industries have, as well as how they also try to manipulate public opinion on issues relating to housing tax policy. The Realtors® did the latter in 2005 with their "the world is coming to an end" scare tactics about the recommendations made by the President's Tax Reform Panel.As many bloggers covering the housing bubble have pointed | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| It's Unanimous: Senate Housing Bill Is Not Good Tax Policy | | 2008-04-10 23:00:00 | | On most fiscal policy issues that come up in Washington, there is disagreement among reserach organizations regarding what is good or bad tax policy. But on the recent housing bill that passed the U.S. Senate and gave billions in more tax breaks for housing, the tax policy research community is in unanimous agreement.Researchers from the following organizations have stated that this bill is bad tax policy: Heritage Foundation, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Cato Institute, Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, Tax Foundation, Citizens for Tax Justice, and the Center for Economic and Policy Research.To put this diverse group in perspective, imagine if Ted Kennedy, George Bush, Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Ralph Nader, Barack Obama, and Sam Brownback all agreed that a given bill was not good public policy.Unfortunately, it appears as if the lobbyists putting money in the coffers of the politicians are currently the ones winning instead of sound fiscal | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Ways & Means Committee Says "We Love Housing Too" | | 2008-04-09 23:00:00 | | While the Senate is busy finalizing what amounts to terrible tax policy, the House Ways and Means Committee has said "Don't forget about us! We can make bad tax policy too."You cannot make this stuff up, folks. It is maddening. The House Ways & Means Committee has voted to make the IRS the new Freddie Mac. The committee passed yesterday an $11 billion Housing Assistance Tax Act. As today's Daily Tax Report explains, it would create a "refundable tax credit of up to $7,500 for first-time home buyers, who would be required to repay the amount received over the next 15 years in equal installments."Rangel, McCrery, and Co. want to use the tax code for the government to offer taxpayers interest-free loans for housing.

| Special Interests, Housing, and the Current Tax Debate in the United States Senate | | 2008-04-04 23:00:00 | | Steve Pearlstein of the Washington Post had a rather amusing yet at the same time somewhat scary look at the current debacle that is taking place in the U.S. Senate with regards to housing and the tax code. It's scary because what he says is true, and it says a lot for the state of tax policy in America.Hold on to your wallets, Mr. and Mrs. America, Max and Chuck are at it again.Yes, our favorite sugar beet socialist and cornhusk communitarian have decided to ride to the rescue of the nation's troubled housing sector.It all started on Monday when members of the Senate returned to Washington after another two-week recess in which they apparently discovered that voters actually expected them to do something about the housing crisis rather than just talking about it until the next recess.

| Canada's housing market remains stable | | 2008-04-04 16:21:00 | | Canada's real estate market stands on stable footing. On average, healthy year-over-year house price gains were recorded during the first three months of 2008. While more modest price increases were observed when compared to previous quarters, the solid appreciations noted in the first quarter are largely due to the shared effects of resilient local economies, high immigration levels, and relatively low interest rates - all leading to enduring buyer demand, according to a House Price Survey report released today by Royal LePage Real Estate Services.While almost all markets surveyed experienced price increases, it was the smaller cities, with relatively affordable housing and strong economies based on resource industries that emerged with the most significant gains. Thriving Saskatoon saw appreciation as high as 66 per cent, while areas in Newfoundland posted increases above 20 per cent for the first time since Royal LePage started tracking house prices.

| More Bad Ideas for Housing Tax Credits: Credits by Sens. Isakson and Stabenow Incorporated into Larger Subsidy Bill | | 2008-04-02 23:00:00 | | A recent Tax Foundation Fiscal Fact analyzes two new housing credits proposed by Sens. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI). Faced with a choice between the two bad housing credits, the Senate merged the two and added several more unwise housing tax incentives."The bill of housing incentives going to the floor of the Senate today is a panicky effort to artificially keep the housing bubble from popping," commented Gerald Prante, Tax Foundation senior economist. "Would it have been wise in 2001 for the government to have given tech stock investors a huge tax credit for having bought overvalued stock during that bubble?"Sen. Isakson had proposed a $5,000 tax credit that could be claimed for three years by buyers of homes that are vacant, occupied but in default, or foreclosed on. Sen. Stabenow had proposed a refundable, one-year credit of $6,000 ($3,000 for singles) for first-time homebuyers. The bill sent to the floor includes a $7,000 one-y | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

The project, named Dr. Barbara Carey Shuler Manor, carries an estimated cost of about $28 million. Carrfour hoped to subsidize most of the project by selling tax credits.

The REALTORS® want more tax preferences for housing. In this week's edition of the rent-seeking lobby's publication "Economist's Commentary," REALTORS® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun argues that a tax credit is needed to help the housing industry during this downturn.Unbelievable. We have a situation where too many people bought homes that were too big and now we need to not let it fall, according to NAR. In other words, according to NAR, it is the government's responsibility to artificially keep the housing bubble from popping. Maybe the government should have done this with the stock market bubble in 2001, and given Wall Street investors a huge tax credit for buying stock in internet tech companies.I guess over $100 billion of tax subsidies already in the code isn't enough for these folks in the housing industry.

| Senate Republican Housing Tax Credit Plan Is Terrible Tax Policy | | 2008-03-24 23:00:00 | | Republican Senator Johnny Isakson, a former real estate agent, has come forth in support of yet another tax handout for housing. The bill is co-sponsored by many other Republicans in the Senate, including Senators Gregg, Craig, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. This time they want to give a $15,000 per year tax credit spread out over three years to anyone who purchases a new home, a foreclosed home, or a home that is pending foreclosing.These same Republicans who claim to want to rein in government spending as part of being "fiscally conservative" are themselves proposing a massive new hidden spending program, though they disguise it as a tax credit.If there is anything the tax code needs, it is fewer handouts for the housing industry, not more. Members of Congress need to start listening to the consensus of economists on both the left and right who believe that housing receives too many favors in the tax code.

| Toronto is set for its own housing collapse? | | 2008-03-20 17:23:00 | | Not likely. The record sales reached in 2007 were largely due to the shock caused by the introduction of 40-year mortgages in Canada. Now that most of the home buyers who were sitting on the sidelines bought houses, sales volumes are expected to return to more sustainable levels. Another big issue is the slowing down of the Canadian economy, with experts now predicting that Canada will follow the US into a marked contraction. Ironically, one of the biggest dampeners on the Canadian housing market may not be the troubled US housing market per se, but related woes in the financial markets. The ensuing "credit crunch" has restricted credit globally, led to higher fixed interest rates and decreased affordability for all consumers.

| Housing Crisis? | | 2008-03-19 08:06:00 | | I have to admit I have not been paying much attention to the recent housing/mortgage problems everyone is talking about. I know that lenders offered really nice deals to people because of the low interest rates and now that interest rates are going up they can't afford to pay their payments anymore.I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I mean, when we bought our house I did look at what the monthly payment would be. Afterall we had to be able to pay it. But I also took into consideration the interest rate and the amount we would pay over the life of the loan.I have to wonder who, if anyone, is to blame for this huge amount of Mortgages that are now going into foreclosure. Are the borrowers to blame for not making sure they could afford the payment if the interest rate went up? Are the lenders to blame for not making sure their borrowers could afford the loan if the rate went up? I am not sure.I do hope this mistake is something everyone learns from.

| Canadian Housing at Least Affordable Level in 18 Years | | 2008-03-14 22:48:00 | | (CEP News) Ottawa – Housing affordability is at its worst level in 18 years as a result of sound macroeconomic fundamentals such as job growth, says a report released from RBC Economics on Friday.However, the report also says most Canadian markets will see that lack of affordability improve in 2008 as price increases weaken, incomes grow and rates for popular five-year mortgages are reduced.“Housing affordability deteriorated across the country in every quarter in 2007, to end the year at its most unaffordable level since 1990,” said RBC assistant chief economist Derek Holt. “Back then, soaring interest rates and a recession sparked much of the trouble. Today, a long upward trend in house prices driven by sounder macroeconomic fundamentals, like job growth, is primarily responsible for the deterioration in affordability.”

| From the Ashes of the Detroit Housing Market | | 2008-03-03 11:33:00 | | Detroit, MI – In the Detroit market is now possible to stop making house payment and/or stop paying rent and yet enjoy the pride of home ownership independent of credit score. The depressed Michigan housing market allows investors to buy bank owned properties for les than 20 cents on the dollar. These properties can be re-habbed, HUD-appraised and purchased by a senior, who is 62 or older and approved for a reversed mortgage. This senior can now be a proud home owner without ever having to make house payments again! The investors are willing to help the seniors by providing a private mortgage or land contract on the home while the reverse mortgage is obtained.What is a reverse mortgage? A reverse mortgage lets an owner convert home equity into cash. However, unlike a traditional home equity loan or second mortgage, no repayment is required until the borrower no longer uses the home as a primary residence.
