5 Housing Markets That Have Further to Fall


By Sarah Morgan, SmartMoney.com

Home buyers looking for a bottom in the real estate market may have been encouraged by housing data released earlier this week. Sales of existing homes rose 2.4% in May, according to the National Association of Realtors. The increase was a little less than most analysts had expected, but it represented the second straight month of improvement. Meanwhile, sales of new homes dipped 0.6% in May, continuing a trend of fairly flat months so far this year, according to data released by the Commerce Department.

Don’t get too excited – it’s still too early to say the housing market bottomed out, analysts and economists say. Distressed properties still account for about a third of all sales, and 29% of sales were to first-time home buyers, who are currently benefiting from an $8,000 tax credit.

The sales trends are telling. “You’re not really seeing a lot of move-up buying,” says Richard F. Moody, chief economist and director of research at Forward Capital, LLC. “There are so many vacant homes and so many foreclosures that [there’s] not the normal trade-up pattern that you would have traditionally seen,” Moody says.

Housing prices fell nationwide during the first quarter, according to Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Index. The decline appears to be slowing: in February and March, the annual rate of decline did not set a new record, but home owners should take little solace in those numbers. “Based on the March data… we see no evidence that that a recovery in home prices has begun,” David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s, said in a statement.

All of this less-than-terrible news has left analysts cautiously optimistic that much of the country will start to see housing prices rise sometime in the next year or two. Looking at the nation as a whole, today through the spring of 2011 may be the window for those looking to buy a house at the bottom of the market, says Gary Hager, president and founder of Integrated Wealth Management, a New Jersey-based financial planning company.

A few markets where the housing crisis started earliest have already shown signs of bottoming out. Early-suffering cities like Denver and Boston are now seeing slower declines in home prices, which could indicate they’re already poised for a comeback.

And in some areas, buyers have seized on rapidly falling prices. Existing-home sales rose 9% in the Midwest in May, according to the National Association of Realtors.

“There will be regional differences in the turnaround,” says Maureen Maitland, vice president of index services at Standard & Poor’s. “Most economists I talk to are expecting the beginning of the turnaround to be sometime next year,” she says. However, she added, “the last market may not turn around for two or three years.”

For those hoping to buy at the best possible price, we’ve got a list of five cities where home prices may still have farther to fall. But keep in mind, getting a house at a discount is still not necessarily a house you can afford.

“In light of the housing market boom and bust, consumers should feel very comfortable financially” before deciding to buy, says Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. “They should not try to overstretch their budget to get their dream home.”

1) Detroit Housing prices fell 4.9% in Detroit in March, according to the latest reading of the Case-Shiller Index. That marked the city’s largest monthly decline since January 1991, when S&P’s backlogged data begin. Houses in Detroit are currently selling at 1995 prices – and with prices still falling so fast, it’s hard to say when the city will rejoin the 21st century.

“Detroit is Detroit because of the auto industry,” says Maitland. The whole Midwest is hurting from car companies’ woes, but Detroit is hurting the most.

2) New York City Anyone who was hoping to see Wall Street suffer from the financial crisis can relax. New York may have avoided the nationwide implosion in home prices early on, but the city saw its largest-ever monthly decline in March, at 2.5%.

“New York may not be out of the woods,” Maitland says. “Because of what’s going on with the financial markets and the layoffs on Wall Street, New York may be one of the last places to turn around.”

3) Phoenix Home prices in Phoenix have fallen 53% from their peak in June 2006, and the 2009 data suggest they’ve got farther to go. In March, prices in Phoenix fell 4.5%.

The Southwest has been one of the hardest-hit regions in the mortgage crisis. The region still faces a glut of recently-built homes.

“In Phoenix, you had some of the worst excesses,” in terms of overbuilding, Moody says. “The surplus of houses is so great that it could take two or three years” for prices to turn around. However, a steady influx of new residents into the region suggests the long-term prospects for the market are sound, he says.

4) Portland, Ore. In the Northwest, median home prices are down but they remain above the national average. Portland’s prices fell 2.1% in March. Home prices in Seattle were down 2.0% for the month.

Portland’s still going down,” says Dave McCarthy, president and chief executive of Integrated Asset Services, a real estate valuation and asset disposition and management company that collects data on the housing market.

The city “has remained pretty strong but they’re starting to feel some of the effects,” he adds.

The local labor market may be playing a role, Moody says. Portland’s unemployment rate was 11.6% in April, according to the Department of Labor. That’s well above the national average for the month (8.9%).

The Pacific Northwest bubble was among the last to burst, which could mean the market will be among the last to recover.

5) Minneapolis Housing prices in Minneapolis fell 6.1% in March, the largest monthly decline of any metro area since data tracking began in 1987.

More than half of all March home sales in Minneapolis were due to foreclosure or short-sale activity, according to the Federal Reserve Board’s Beige Book, which gathers information on regional economic conditions. Foreclosed homes tend to drive prices down because “the bank’s best interest is to get the asset off their books” as quickly as possible, Maitland says.

Good habits work FOR you.


Like staking out a dedicated hour every morning to work on that book you've been promising yourself to write. (If you wait for inspiration, or just lollygag around hoping that an open week will magically appear in your schedule... the book will NEVER get done.)

But other habits just drain energy from you. And you probably don't even know which ones they are. They're invisible little energy leeches, rotting your pipes so slowly you don't notice.

Take the time, today, to examine the mostly unconscious ways you've installed "set" activities in your life. Many - like watching TV just cuz it's there - are robbing you of the joy of being alive.

Self-examination is hard. Your brain will resist at first... but you must keep at it, and go deep.

aTRAFFICplan - Is It Building MY List?


I get questions about whether by using aTRAFFICplan as a training and list building
resource, people are building THEIR lists, or not. And that issue is a little bit deeper that
what it at first seems.

First of all… is your list YOUR list? And even if it is… a list is worthless!

There is some information you may not be aware of about aTRAFFICplan or how it works that may help you in your thinking process about it…

The #1 importance in online marketing is in building your own list… but not only
that… it's even more important to build relationships of trust with your list by
delivering valuable content and being transparent.

aTRAFFICplan is designed to build YOUR list. You connect it with your own autoresponder
using Aweber or GetResponse. Although complete newbie marketers who don't have an
autoresponder yet can just use the built in autoresponders for convenience, but we teach
them right away that it's a COMPLETE WASTE of time to not get their own if they are
anywhere serious about being an internet marketer… it's simply not a conversation I
want to have, period.

People don't know HOW to attract targeted prospects and they don't know HOW to build
a list.

Chances are that if you don't have a list now, it's THE primary reason you haven't
made money online.

Many people THINK they know how to build a list and they create landing pages and offers
that do not convert opt ins…

That's the problem.

The other misconception however, is that people get so paranoid or over-protective about their list…but fail to realize that "THEIR" prospects are also opting into every other website on the planet and there is nothing you can do about it.

This is why building a relationship with your list by delivering quality content is so critical.

It's the relationship with your list that holds them to you. People receive thousands of email messages every day asking them to opt in here and opt in there…

And now in addition to that, they go and follow everybody on twitter and facebook… youtube and a whole host of social networking sites…

There is NOTHING that can be done to protect or shield "your" list… they are not "our" list… we
do not own them… not anymore…

So that's why aTRAFFICplan's actual training and the relationship building tools and resources are even more important than a mere collection of capture pages…

Having a massive list is completely worthless these days unless you're building a relationship with them.

Without the support and leverage of a SYSTEM to help you do this… you have to do it all by yourself.

Without experience… and competing with people like me and others that have an established
presence and the systems built already to leverage… you don't stand a chance… unless you can reinvent the wheel well and fast.

aTRAFFICplan not only allows you to learn how to generate traffic and be attractive to a target audience…

It not only allows you to build YOUR OWN LIST on YOUR AUTORESPONDER

But it goes further to what others are not even teaching…

It shows you HOW TO build relationships of trust with the people on your list, and it gives you the tools needed to get that job done (as you review the whole tour you'll see the free resources and tools)…

This allows you the advantage to start building relationships and promoting your own programs or affiliate offers BEFORE your competition figures this part out… and then HOPEFULLY your leads actually like and trust you…

Because if they don't like you… know you… or trust you…

It doesn't matter what system you use or how to try to protect "your" list… they are not owned by you and they will not pay attention to your messages… They will find others and opt in everywhere else…

So, that's why aTRAFFICplan was built.

To help people do a couple things they are OBVIOUSLY not doing now (obvious because so few are actually making money)…

1. Teach you direct response marketing and how to do it online.
2. Build YOUR list.
3. Show you how to start building relationships with your list
4. Show you how to monetize your list building.

It's a free community.

There are products inside that pay commissions even to free members… there are affiliate
links inside that are coded to you so you can generate passive income while they promote certain tools etc… and there is a place to showcase your primary program and affiliate products… if you wish.

NOTHING is mandatory. You don't "NEED" aTRAFFICplan.

You can do all this on your own like I did.

Just measure your results. And test. If you don't make money it's PURELY because your own
marketing doesn't work… it's not about companies, programs or systems… it's about the marketing competence of the individual.

I promote a variety of programs including the Home Seller Assist program which pays you $400 per referral and products successfully with my ONE system… in an organized way… and it's pretty simple.

The problem is that many people ask me to "teach them" but they end up telling me how it should be done… :0)

I do it the aTRAFFICplan way and it works...

Hope this helps…

Forget Hard Money Lenders and Credit Checks...

Our 2% Funding Allows You To Buy & Sell Properties Using No Cash or Credit

Webcast Tues and Wed evening, register now: http://www.fastbuyerloans.com

Our funding is not financing. We work with investors who want to buy and flip immediately. We go up to 50 million. So let's say you find a house worth $200,000 but can pick it up for say $140,000 and to sell it quickly, you find a buyer for $180,000

We wire the $140,000 for you to buy it. We charge you 2% plus $500 ( $2800 + $500= $3300) which you pay back after you flip (sell) the house for $180,000

So your profit is $40,000 - $3300, which equals $36,700.00

And you can do as many deals as you wish and we do not care about your credit.

Plus if you direct somebody else to the webcast at http://www.reofunder (you will
