Housing Rebounds Wonderfully!

[g5000]

How is a recovery even possible with all this socialism/Marxism/communism?

It's called "inflation". Asset values are rising all across the spectrum as people flee devaluing dollars. Watch for more of this.

I'm going to have to brace my lungs before I read your posts, or else sooner or later they are going to rupture from the spontaneous guffaws they invoke.

Inflation. BWA-HA-HA-HA!

Please show us there was 15.6 percent inflation in the past 12 months to account for the same rise in new home prices.

Man, sometimes you loons really set a new standard of overreaching.

Hmm, what has the S&P done in that time? What have other asset classes done in that time? Gone up? Yeah, that's it.
It's inflationary pressures. You really shouldn't maek yourself look any stupider than normal.

Wow! You have no clue what the difference is between inflation and rising relative prices, and you actually chose to expose that ignorance of something so fundamental in public!

"...Home prices closed out 2012 with the biggest annual gain in more than six years while sales of new homes spiked in January, the latest sign that the long-suffering housing market was on the mend, data showed on Tuesday....

....Separately, Commerce Department data showed sales of new homes jumped 15.6 percent to a 4-1/2-year high. The percentage increase was the largest in almost 20 years...."

Thank you, Mr. President, for holding firm against the Republican's, whose policies would wreck the recovery.

Exactly where are these gains in the housing market taking place??? Because I can tell you right now that it's not in your average everyday neighborhood. Large cities, perhaps, but that's only true for SOME large cities. For the rest of us....the housing market continues to suck, and badly. Most people are still under water with their mortgages and those who are trying to sell.....or need to sell....are having serious problems doing so. obama is NOT helping average Americans in any way, shape, or form.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

well one of our local billionaires who owns very expensive communities is building a development about 1.5 miles from me. I want to take a pic of the 10 or so acres of wooded/pine infested land that has already been bulldozed. (like a before pic) but as I mentioned a few weeks ago, they sure are building new homes here in Naples.

 

[Political Junky]

No president has had the resistance that Obama has had from the opposition, yet the stock market, employment, and housing are up.

over 4 years later and Trillions spent and we're still debating if the recovery is even working... I'd say the whole big Government stimulus thing kinda did as predicted and failed to deliver.

Then again, it was the same policies that got us into this mess, so I can't see why expanding bad policy would have helped anything, but a Democrat did it so you support it as per always.

Thanks to the Demi-God Obama!!!!

A few points I need to make.

1: If things are just starting to get better and Obama got less of what he wanted than any President in the history of the fucking world, does that mean:

A) Obama gets credit for things getting better despite not getting most of his policies enacted

B) Republicans get credit for making things better by stopping most of Obama's policies from passing.

Pick one, either way you look retarded.


You are aware that the FED is dumping 40 billion a month on the markets... take that away or just minus it out and you have a depressed market.

Bye.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Oh you don't think Foreigners could buy homes in the US? If foreigners are buying the bulk of these houses then what does that say about the supposed US Economic Recovery?

It means that the US is just like The South after the Civil War when carpet baggers came in and bought everything cheaply.

What makes you think foreigners are buying the houses in any quantity?

There is depressed real estate all over the planet.

Because I read and watch the News and I have these God given powers of Observation?

We have the weakest recovery on record. And the highest level of spending. For the first two years Obama had a filibuster proof Congress and could enact whatever he wanted. He did so. We see the results. If we have negative growth this quarter then we will be in a recession. Again. Unemployment is barely where it was when Obama took office. If you use the same workforce participation rates UE is much higher than when he took office.
Obama's economic policies make Robet Mugabe look like Nobel Prize material.

Sorry, but you made a complete fool of yourself attributing the rise in house prices to inflation. Laughing is the only proper response to that level of stupidity.

Is it Americans who are buying those homes OldGuy?

What difference does that make? Would you not sell your house to a foreigner if he had the money?

Did you not post this story as a way to show that the Economy is recovering?

If the Economy REALLY IS recovering then wouldn't Americans be buying these houses?

I show you an article that the Chinese are buying up real estate (along with other foreigners) and all you can do is imply I'm a Racist?

The Privately Owned Federal Reserve is buying up Mortgages too, and using our money to do it.

Americans aren't buying enough houses to fuel a recovery. Is it a stretch to expect that you would even understand this?

The Fed has been backstopping the housing industry since 2008, but has in fact scaled back its interference considerably since then.

Therefore the past year's improvement in sales cannot be attributed to the Fed's meddling. If you could show the Fed has upped its meddling in the past year commensurate with the increase in sales, you would have a case. But the Fed has not. They have not increased the rate of MBS purchases, and they can't lower interest rates any lower than where they are now (at zero).

These sales are a leading indicator of recovery. Simple fact.

I don't think anyone believes we are out of the hole. Not by a long shot, but this is a definite light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel moment. And you will one day be unable to look back and deny it.

California Housing is doing well,

Recovery from The Great Recession (The Bush/Right Winger Recession) will see no double dip on housing

That link does not support any claim whatsoever the 15% increase in new home sales is because of the Chinese. In fact, the woman in the video said the Chinese are investing mostly in COMMERCIAL investments.

And, in fact, she plainly states Chinese investment increased 15%! Now unless the Chinese are 100 percent of our real estate market (they aren't), their 15 percent increase in investing would not cause the 15% increase in new home sales.

So it isn't the Chinese.

Nice try.
