The Housing Market and the Economic Crisis

moneyhousesmall

Back in September 2007, we devoted our first ever new ‘Inside Edge’ publication to examine the escalating sub-prime issue, and to predict how the financial instability was going to affect housing and community development in NYC. As the economic crisis became a reality, we have continued to use our expertise to conduct unique research and analysis to reveal the real impacts of the recession on the housing industry.

You can keep track of CHPC’s work in this issue here.

No Bottom Yet – Case Shiller Goes Down Again

Those who hoped that 2012 would be the year of stabilizing home prices are disappointed by today’s release of the February 2012 Case-Shiller index. While the non-seasonally adjusted Index shows that the rate of decline has slowed for some areas, 9 cities posted new lows for the post-boom era. The seasonally adjusted numbers show a .1% gain for the 10 city Index, but the general trend is still negative.

2012 Starts with Case Shiller Decline

The January 2012 Case Shiller index, released March 27, 2012, shows substantial declines. For the New York area January 2012 was a 2.9% decline from the index level in January 2011.  The 20 City Index shows a 3.8% decline over the same period. Despite hopeful signs in the rest of the economy it appears the housing market has not yet reached its bottom.

Down Again

The Case Shiller Index for December 2011 has scored new lows on its three major indexes; the national composite index, the 20 city composite index and the 10 city composite index. New York metro area has also hit an all time low, so home prices are now at the lowest they have been since the housing crisis started in 2006. Is this the bottom?

Not Yet the Bottom; Housing Prices Decline Again

The Case Shiller Index for single family houses continues its decline. The frequently forecasted “bottom of the housing market” has, apparently, not yet arrived. All metro areas in the US, with the exception of Phoenix, experienced a decline from October 2011 to November 2011 in the non-seasonally adjusted index. Some economists now predict the market bottom by the spring of 2012.
