Housing Slump Could be Slowing!

by Galand Haas

Good Monday Morning!

It was quite a Civil War football game between the University of Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers.  The Ducks won this heated contest for the third year in a row and clinched their spot to play in in the National Championship game against Auburn University in Glendale Arizona on January 10.  Congratulations to the University of Oregon football team!

Recently several national indicators are showing that the decline in the housing industry nationally may be slowing.  Several companies that are industry watch dogs have indicated that the light at the end of the tunnel may be nearing.  What we will all need to do is to watch and see if these indicators remain positive and that a positive trend begins to develop.  Locally, the market continues to dip, but remember the Eugene and Springfield area was late to have the negative market take hold.  This could mean that we may stay in the down turn a bit longer than other parts of the country.  Any positive news is good news at this point and we can only hope that the first quarter of 2011 shows continued signs of growth in the housing market.

Have An Awesome Week!

Home Foreclosures Suspended

by Galand Haas

Good Monday Morning!

Congratulations to the Oregon Duck and Oregon State Beaver college football teams for their weekend victories.  Also, the Oregon Ducks are now #2 in the nation in all three polls.  Keep up the good work!

The problems with the nations housing industry just keep coming.  Last week Bank of America gave notice that it was suspending home foreclosures in all 50 states while it investigates problems within.  Now, GMAC and JP Morgan Chase have announced that they also are suspending home foreclosures.  There are now fraud allegations and misconduct involving foreclosures within all of these major lenders.  Short term this may be of some benefit to the housing industry because it freezes foreclosures and will put less pressure on already heavy inventories of homes for sale.  Long term it is a disaster because it will prolong the flushing out of foreclosed properties.  Some experts feel that it could extend our housing industry problems as much as another 2 years.  Any kind of recovery within the housing industry is conditional on the large number of foreclosures passing through the system.  This is also not good news as recovery in the housing industry will lead the way to recovery from our current recession.

Have An Awesome Week!
