Projections

Projections Were Spot On

Every February, Real Estats projects the rest of the year based on January’s recordings. The level of accuracy is greater than 75% for all counties with some being much better than others. So far, our forecast has proven right on in four counties, Lane, Yamhill, Clackamas and Multnomah. Don’t miss out on this year’s projections by subscribing today.

Our first report for January 2013 is done for Clark County, Washington. If you want to know what it says, or what we are projecting for the year, it is in the this report.

In the News

Nouriel Roubini

One of best articles I have read is in the Financial Times of London where Nouriel Roubini argues that a deal that extends unsustainable tax cuts for 98 per cent of Americans is “a pyrrhic victory for Mr Obama”.

The First Day of 2013

Wow, the first day of the year was a whopper with stocks seeing their best gains in more than a year. Hopefully, this will benefit the housing markets.

Happy New Year

Real Estats is hopeful that the strength in housing sales will continue on into 2013. While government flails, people require homes in which to live. As rental housing becomes more expensive, those who can make the transition to ownership benefit from both low interest rates and distressed prices. The housing market is looking stronger than at anytime in the past five years.
