http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_housing_market_correction

A United States housing market correction is a market correction or ‘bubble bursting’ of a United States housing bubble; the most recent began following a national home price peak first identified in July 2006. Because realty trades in illiquid markets relative to financial assets like common stock, timely valuation lags true values from three months to a year. Certain markets, including San Diego and Detroit, peaked as early as November 2005. A real estate bubble is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local, regional, national or global real estate markets. A housing bubble is characterized by rapid increases in the valuations of real property such as housing until unsustainable levels are reached relative to incomes, price-to-rent ratios, and other economic indicators of affordability. This in turn is followed by a market correction in which decreases in home prices can result in many owners holding negative equity, a mortgage debt higher than the value of the property. Based on the historic trends in valuations of U. S. housing, many economists and business writers have predicted a market correction, ranging from a few percentage points, to 50% or more from peak values in some markets, and, in spite of the fact that this cooling has not affected all areas of the U. S. , some have warned that it could and that the correction would be ‘nasty’ and ‘severe’. Chief economist Mark Zandi of the research firm Moody’s Economy. com predicted a ‘crash’ of double-digit depreciation in some U. S. cities by 2007–2009. Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research was the first economist to identify the housing bubble, in a report in the summer of 2002. NAR chief economist David Lereah’s Explanation of ‘What Happened’ from the 2006 NAR Leadership ConferenceThe booming housing market halted abruptly for many parts of the U. S. in late summer of 2005, and as of summer 2006, several markets faced the issues of ballooning inventories, falling prices, and sharply reduced sales volumes. In August 2006, Barron’s magazine warned, ‘a housing crisis approaches’, and noted that the median price of new homes dropped almost 3% since January 2006, that new-home inventories hit a record in April and remained near all-time highs, that existing-home inventories were 39% higher than they were just one year earlier, and that sales were down more than 10%, and predicted that ‘the national median price of housing will probably fall by close to 30% in the next three years . . . simple reversion to the mean.’ Fortune magazine labeled many previously strong housing markets as ‘Dead Zones;’ other areas were classified as ‘Danger Zones’ and ‘Safe Havens.’ Fortune also dispelled ‘four myths about the future of home prices.’ In Boston, year-over-year prices dropped, sales fell, inventory increased, foreclosures were up, and the correction in Massachusetts was called a ‘hard landing’. The previously booming housing markets in Washington, D. C. , San Diego, California, Phoenix, Arizona, and other cities stalled as well. Searching the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) shows that in summer 2006, the for-sale housing inventory in Phoenix has grown to over 50,000 homes, of which nearly half are vacant (see graphic). Several home builders revised their forecasts sharply downward during summer 2006, e. g. , D. R. Horton cut its yearly earnings forecast by one-third in July 2006, the value of luxury home builder Toll Brothers’ stock fell 50% between August 2005 and August 2006, and the Dow Jones U. S. Home Construction Index was down over 40% as of mid-August 2006. CEO Robert Toll of Toll Brothers explained, ‘builders that built speculative homes are trying to move them by offering large incentives and discounts; and some sdate = 22 August 2006 | url=http://www. marketwatch. com/tools/quotanxious buyers are canceling contracts for homes already being built.’ Homebuilder Kara Homes announced on 13 September 2006 the ‘two most pr

Free Market Fundamentalists!

Posted on June 4th, 2011 by admin in writers market | 25 Comments »

Mai book:

http://fringeelements.info/FAEG

Is the social-evolutionary environment of the market like a religion? Or is the concept of an entity above of the market intervening to save us from outselves like a religion?

Are the businesses building headquarters and mansions more like cult temples, or are the monuments in DC and the state capitols more like cult temples?

As much as hardcore statists love to paint Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman as religious figures to free marketers, most libertarians listen to a variety of writers and popularizers of libertarian ideas.

Compare this to the somber veneration of the constitution and federalist papers, and how instead of trying to argue economic truth in it’s own right, they try to interpret what the founding “fathers” really meant.

Stephen Metcalf offers advice on the job market

Posted on April 30th, 2011 by admin in writers market | No Comments »

tp hear more, go to: http://writing.upenn.edu/wh/calendar/0211.php#10

Stephen Metcalf discusses the market and students’ writing heroes at the Kelly Writers House on February 10, 2011.

Stephen Metcalf s a columnist at Slate, where he is the host of Culture Gabfest. After several years spent in a PhD program at Yale, Metcalf’s enthusiasm for a profession with radically un-normalized career outcomes and extremely few jobs, and in which the one compensatory perk –tenure –was being withheld from new entrants, waned, and he moved to NYC to be a freelance writer. While struggling to find a voice unaddled by literary theory and too many years in grad school, he worked several anonymous if shabby-chic literary jobs, eventually catching on as a speechwriter for Hilary Clinton’s first Senate campaign. Metcalf has also written for TNR, the Nation, and Times Magazine. He is at work on a book-length polemic on the 1980s.

Madison Meltz plays music at Maitland’s Sunday Farmers Market

Posted on November 29th, 2010 by admin in writers market | 1 Comment »

Madison Meltz age 12 performs her music at The Maitland Farmers Market.

Performing Arts of Maitland created this musical addition to Maitland’s Farmers Market and continues to bring fresh, vibrant and exciting talent to Maitland on every Farmers Market.Sunday.

This umbrella organization is determined that the arts continue to play an integral role in helping the Maitland community establish and maintain its cultural identity. On this site you will find information on the Maitland Symphony Orchestra (MSO), the Maitland Farmers Market (M3), the Maitland Poets and Writers (MPW) and the Maitland Stage Band (MSB). Other groups that have been supported by PAM are the Maitland Youth Community Choir (MYcc), and the Resonance Maitland Handbell Ensemble (RMHE). Performing Arts of Maitland (PAM), became the City of Maitlands 4th Cultural Partner in December 2006. City staff and community members assisted Jefferson S. Flowers, PAMs founder, in obtaining 501(c)(3) status by donating their time and resources. With the City as the major funding contributor at this time, the goal is to have a focal point to join with our children and our neighbors to interact with on a human scale, to know each other and learn from each other. Musicians and performers of all ages share their talents and help bring the arts in their many varieties to this neighborhood, just minutes from downtown Orlando. PAM goals include partnering with the Maitland Historical Society and the Maitland Art Center to build a thing of beauty that all can admire and come together to build. M3 small groups perform every Sunday at Lake Lily Park for the Maitland Farmers Market. This venue provides opportunities for a variety of talents from Maitland and its surrounding communities. M3 has performed for the Market since the event started at Quinn Strong Park in Maitland. MSO puts on Spring and Holiday concerts at the First Presbyterian Church of Maitland. In the fall of 2008 MSO performed an outdoors evening concert at the Maitland Rotary Arts Festival. MSO is available for other special performances that have a large enough facility to accommodate the 90 or so volunteer musicians. Maitland Poets and Writers (MPW) is the newest group PAM brings to the community. Local literary talents will help foster the growth of literary arts and provide opportunities for the public to come and experience the joy of creative writing. Maitland Stage Band (MSB) formed in the summer of 2009. Concerts are planed for the fall.
