  1. Nothing, which is why surf has either been huffing, is drunk on too many appletinis, or had yet another brain fart.

  2. Those German stats are unbelievable.

    Does anyone knows some more insights on their decade long flat house prices?

    Cheers.

  3. Germany is still suffering from a gigantic glut of homes/apartments from the 1990s reunification-fueled homebuilding frenzy. Tons of private investors got burned back then in semi-fraudulent real estate developments/investments.

    Home ownership is relatively low, rent increases are barely keeping up with inflation. German law is structured in a way so tenants rights are given higher priority in court than owners' property rights (i.e. you have a single mom with children in your apartment and she can't pay rent, you will have a tough time evicting her -- unless you can provide her with an alternative place to live in. Thousands of owners are being burned by tenants that can't pay but that can't be easily evicted).

    Real returns after taxes on owning and renting out e.g. an apartment building are low (< 3-4% annualized is not uncommon). Why the hassle when the good ole' German Bunds pay the same 4%?

  6. East Hampton is very expensive. Pretty much anything that you'd say "nice house" is two mil and up.

    Jem, do you think the failure of the recent ballot initiatives will have any effect on the San Diego housing market? I'm thinking that a lot of the houses in the 500k to 700k range are owned by public employees and that many of these people are going to get laid off in the next few months. Do you have any thoughts on to what extent this could do for real-estate markets in San Diego?

    I do not know. Ca has a low homeownership rate. People are standing on the sideline ready to buy as long as banks will give them the money.

    Set this off against the wave of foreclosures set hit the market in the fall and I just do not know.

    I suspect it will all depend on interest rates and jobs.

    The demand is there - the variable are interest rates and fha 3% loans.

    Perhaps another leg down in the fall. And a chance at stabilization next spring..... if the worldwide depression does not spread out of Japan and overwhelm the Obanana republic inflationary stimulus.

    by the way that Obanana Republic is trademarked by JEM - you may use it with attribution as long as you are elitetrader member as of today.
