All polls show that the majority of Americans are against the plan as proposed by the Democrats but at the same time most people feel that something has to be done. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Will the Democrats be able to come to an agreement considering the vast differences on many key parts of the legislation? Will the American people really see a reduction our the Federal deficit as a result of the passing of this legislation? Will taxes really stay even or go down for most middleclass Americans? Stay tuned. The lastest numbers from the Triangle Area Residential Real Estate (TARR) Report shows that residential sales of homes in the Triangle MLS counties (including Wake, Durham and Orange counties) was up more than 70% versus last November. Average days on market also went down to 91 from 96 and the supply of homes has decreased from 11 months to 7 months year to year. All told the news is very positive given continuing problems with jobs, the health care debate and lingering concerns about the holiday shopping season and what that will means for retailers in 2010. But companies continue to announce they are coming to the Triangle or are expanding their operations if they are already here.

Consumers submit questions and one Realtor in the entire U.S. is selected to answer the question. This time marks the fourth time in as many months that Tim McBrayer has been selected to provide the answer. This time a consumer wanted to know what steps to take if she was thinking about putting her home on the market in the next year or two. See Tim’s blog answer here: http://www.realtor.com/blogs/2009/11/01/preparing-a-home-for-a-sale-ask-a-realtor%C2%AE/ RISMEDIA: 10-30-09 – The consumer is back. Consumption spending increased by 3.4% this quarter, its strongest growth since the first quarter of 2007. This was largely due to a 22.3% jump in spending on consumer durables, such as cars. Car sales jumped 56.4% in the third quarter of 2009 with the help of the additional incentives, known as “Cash for Clunkers.” Consumer spending on a number of other items also increased at a healthy rate. Spending on recreational goods grew by 13.8%, furniture spending by 6.5%, and other goods by a respectable 6.2%. Food spending, a non-durable goods item, rose by 5.0% in the third quarter. There are encouraging signs, based on one quarter of data that the housing slump seems to have come to an end. The housing market expanded for the first time in almost four years. Spending on new homes increased by a strong 23.4% in the third quarter, the first increase since the fourth quarter of 2005. This is also the largest gain in more than two decades since the second quarter of 1986. The increase in spending on housing was aided by price declines during the previous years and low interest rates and the momentum in the housing market could thus very well last. |
