A lot sure has happened since my
last DealWire: unemployment numbers came in lower than expected,
domestic growth came higher than expected, the Central Bank lowered
rates once again, and I just heard that some analysts are calling
for Bank of America to walk away from the Countrywide deal. Wow,
talk about a roller coaster. At least those people scaring consumers
into believing we are in a recession are quiet, for now.
I
am not sure if you are a big Sunday Newspaper reader, but I am. This
past week the Sunday circular, Parade Magazine, ran an article on
the housing market. In there, it listed some geo-specific market
trends. Of all the places mentioned, only the Washington DC Metro
area had seen a net increase since 2004. So, that got me thinking,
what other places in the US have seen net home price increases?
After some quick research I found that the National Association of
Realtors tracks some of this data. Among the areas that have seen
such increases are parts of Washington (upwards of an 18% increase),
parts of New York (upwards of a 14.8% increase), and parts of
Maryland (upwards of an 19% increase). We have available transfers
in these areas, so call me if you want to jump on this bandwagon.
