National Home Sales See Biggest Gain Since July 2003-Middle TN Housing Market Steady

jstaler — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:55:43 +0000

An article by Patrick Rucker WASHINGTON (Reuters) reports sales of previously owned U.S. homes rose 5.5 percent last month, the biggest gain since July 2003, and the inventory of unsold homes fell, a hopeful sign for the housing market. The article also states that The National Association of Realtors said on Friday that sales of existing homes rose to a 5.18 million-unit annual rate from the 4.91 million unit pace set in August.

Economists had expected sales to rise to only a 4.93 million unit rate. It was the first time the sales pace had risen above its year ago level in nearly three years, a sign the market could be stabilizing. The surprisingly large jump in sales pushed the inventory of unsold homes down by 1.6 percent to 4.27 million, or a 9.9 months’ supply at the current pace, the lowest since February. “We’re not out of the woods yet by any means when it comes to falling house prices and our fundamental problem of an oversupply of homes, but we’re getting near to the bottom every day,” said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. Home prices, however, showed no signs of escaping their long, deep slide and economists said the number of homes on the market would likely have to fall further before they do. The median national home price declined 9 percent from a year ago to $191,600, the lowest level since April 2004. “As the median price continues to decline, seeking out that new equilibrium level, demand is — slowly and hesitantly — moving back into the market,” said Lindsey Piegza, an economic analyst at FTN Financial in New York. A Reuters poll taken October 21-24 found economists expect prices to continue to fall through next year. The median forecast from the survey was for a 15 percent drop this year and a 6.4 percent fall in 2009. Economists expect prices to turn up in 2010, but by a meager 1 percent. ‘VULTURE INVESTORS’ Rising U.S. mortgage defaults have sent credit markets into a tailspin, threatening economies worldwide. A majority of economists polled said finding a floor for house prices is an essential condition for ending the financial crisis. In order for prices to recover, the glut of unsold homes needs to be whittled down further, analysts said. “Most, if not all, the rise in sales is due to vulture investors buying cheap foreclosed homes, but all sales reduce inventory,” said Ian Shepherdson, the chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York. “If this continues, people will stop expecting further price falls and activity will start to recover.” Lawrence Yun, the chief economist for the Realtors’ trade group, also pointed to a rise in foreclosure and other ‘distress’ sales in regions hard-hit by the housing downturn. “In some regions, the lower prices are seeing buyers return to the marketplace,” he said. “This was a nice jump and hopefully this trend can continue because the first step to stabilizing the market is an increase in home sales.”

Sales jumped 16.8 percent in the West, while rising 4.4 percent in the Midwest and 2.2 percent in the South. In the Northeast, sales fell 1.2 percent. Sales of single-family homes, which represent the lion’s share of the market, rose 6.2 percent. Sales of condominiums held steady. “We’re still struggling with falling home prices and we will for a while, but we’re forming a bottom here,” said Bob Walters, chief economist at Quicken Loans in Livonia, Michigan.

Nashville TN Magnet Schools Make National Lists of Top Public High Schools

jstaler — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:08:30 +0000

The Nashville City Paper reports two Nashville Tennessee high schools — Hume-Fogg and Martin Luther King Jr. academic magnet high schools — are making national lists of top public high schools. According to the Nashville City Paper article last fall, MLK and Hume-Fog were ranked 23 and 24, respectively, on Newsweek magazine’s list of 1,300 American schools. Nashville Board of Education member Steve Glover said that while he wants to see increased academic expectations of students at zoned schools increase, MLK and Hume-Fogg may play a role in keeping some kids in public rather than private schools. Students at Hume-Fogg and MLK must meet academic requirements to qualify for attendance. There still are more qualifying students than there are seats at the schools, so a lottery is held to determine who can attend.Click here to read this Nashville City Paper article in its entirity.

According to MLK’s website Martin Luther King Academic Magnet is also honored by U.S. News and World Report as a gold medal award-winning high school and The Siemens Foundation, in association with the College Board, has designated Martin Luther King Academic Magnet as a top performing high school in Advanced Placement science and math courses.

Downtown Nashville Riverfront Redevelopment led by MDHA

jstaler — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:59:27 +0000

The Nashville City Paper reports Mayor Karl Dean is authorizing the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency to take the lead on redevelopment of Downtown Nashville’s Riverfront along both banks of the Cumberland River. According to the Nashville City Paper Mayor Dean routinely tells visitors to Nashville that in three to four years, the downtown riverfront will look completely different and it will become the centerpiece of the city. Dean said it was too early in the process to convey a long-term vision for the riverfront, but he added the key is to make it more accessible. “I think it needs to be the center of the city that we’re all focused on,” Dean said. “It will be an area that will attract people downtown. There are a variety of development possibilities on both sides of the river that will unfold over time.

A statement from the mayor’s office said “the plan envisions a redeveloped waterfront as a recreational, environmental, and economic development asset, and includes such public features as new parkland and play spaces, greenways, boardwalks, piers and docking facilities, integrated with significant mixed-use development.”

MDHA oversees Nashville’s redevelopment districts, which among other things, provide tax incentives to encourage developers to invest in an area. “I’m deeply grateful to Mayor Dean for placing the Cumberland River among his priorities,” Jameson said. “Redeveloping the waterfront, and the East Bank in particular, will provide the city with wonderful new parks, recreational opportunities, and much-needed business expansion potential, while simultaneously addressing one of Nashville’s most environmentally and aesthetically challenged areas. In a word, this is huge and we should all be grateful to this administration.”
