Housing and the Economy: Impacts and Forecasts - presented by Dr. Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, Director - Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL), University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs
This document summarizes the state of the housing market and economy in Illinois. It finds that while housing sales increased in 2012, prices remained low due to a large inventory of foreclosed homes. Job growth is improving but remains below pre-recession levels. Continued recovery of the housing market and broader economy are dependent on addressing issues like high foreclosure rates, fiscal problems at the state level, and lack of leadership. The regional economy also remains tied to national and Midwest trends. Price and sales forecasts for 2013 anticipate only modest growth.

Paul Young, a CPA and expert in various financial fields, discusses making housing more affordable in Canada. He outlines issues like rising real estate prices, lack of housing supply, and the need for cooperation across levels of government. New technologies like 3D printing offer promising solutions. The 2019 federal election will likely focus on housing affordability as no party has sufficiently addressed systemic problems to date. All stakeholders must work together using innovative ideas to increase housing availability and affordability going forward.

Stimulus money and stock market investmentsInvestingTips
The Biden administration is pushing through a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that will provide $1,400 payments to individuals making under $50,000. Surveys show that many young recipients plan to invest a significant portion of the payments, with millennials and Gen Z planning to invest around 40-50% of the funds. This influx of stimulus money directly into the stock market is expected to boost consumer stocks initially and provide an overall lift to the market, as occurred with previous relief packages.
According to a recent report from Policy Matters Ohio, Cincinnati's median home sales price was the highest among the ten largest cities in the state and had risen 20.5 percent between 2007 and 2013.
This document analyzes the potential economic and fiscal effects of President Obama's proposed tax increases. It finds that enacting these tax increases would:
1) Slow economic growth significantly over the next decade, reducing GDP by $1.1 trillion total and eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs each year on average.
2) Reduce business investment, personal savings, consumer spending and disposable income while increasing unemployment.
3) Have widespread negative impacts beyond just high-income taxpayers by slowing the overall economy, reducing job opportunities and income.
4) Exacerbate the country's fiscal problems by reducing the tax base as taxpayers adapt to higher rates, rather than solving the deficit issue through higher revenues alone. Congress should

Mid Term Elections & Commercial Real Estatekottmeier
The 2010 mid-term elections resulted in Republican control of the House while Democrats retained the presidency, dividing government. This document discusses several implications for commercial real estate, including that a divided government may delay decisions around fiscal stimulus and employment, prolonging recovery in real estate markets. Additionally, debates around tax cuts, federal spending, healthcare reform, and financial reform could impact demand for office and medical space. While employment is slowly improving, decisions made by Congress will influence future projections and commercial real estate demand over the next 5 years is estimated at 550-925 million square feet of office space.

The document summarizes housing affordability trends in metro Atlanta. Home prices have risen faster than wages since 2011, and fewer affordable homes are being built. While home prices in north Atlanta and northern suburbs have appreciated the most since 2000, prices in southern areas have declined. When factoring in transportation costs, true housing affordability is even more constrained, with over half of average household income spent on housing and transportation across the region.
Metro Atlanta's economy is recovering strongly from the pandemic, with job levels now only slightly below pre-pandemic levels. However, inflation is high, driven by increased transportation costs, and wages have not kept pace. The labor market is extremely tight, with many job openings but few job seekers. Housing costs remain high due to low inventory levels and rents are increasing. While most sectors have rebounded, employment in food and accommodation remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Financial insecurity persists for many in the region.

Maricopa Economic Outlook and Labor Study PreviewCity of Maricopa
The document provides an economic briefing for the City of Maricopa discussing the state of the economy and recovery. It notes that while some indicators like GDP are improving, the overall recovery will be weak with continued job losses and struggling consumers. Arizona has fallen from 2nd to 50th in job growth recently due to financial issues. The recovery in Arizona and Maricopa will be slow and dependent on national economic improvements, but positives include affordable home prices and a skilled local workforce.
Right-wing billionaires such as Robert Mercer are attacking the New York State Constitution to gain more power and tax breaks for themselves at the expense of working families. Mercer created the group "Reclaim New York" to push for a constitutional convention and rewrite the constitution to benefit billionaire interests by cutting taxes, privatizing schools, allowing fracking, and reducing environmental and worker protections. Voters will decide in November 2017 whether to hold a constitutional convention, and the document argues that people should vote no to block these billionaire efforts to rig the system for their own benefit.

The document presents the results of a study evaluating the toxicity of TMOF, an insecticide, and its formulations (WP TMOF and Rice Husk TMOF) on Elaeidobius kamerunicus, a pollinator of oil palms. Exposure to the insecticide formulations resulted in mortality rates of less than 20% for the pollinator at 24, 48, and 72 hours, classifying the toxicity as "harmless" according to international standards. This confirms that TMOF and its products have little to no adverse effects on non-target insects like E. kamerunicus.
High-throughput computing and opportunistic computing for matchmaking process...Silvio Sangineto
This document is a thesis proposal for a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Calabria. The goal of the project is to create a distributed web spider using high-throughput computing and opportunistic computing to efficiently index and match websites of Italian companies using identifying information from a customer database. The student proposes both a centralized prototype architecture and a distributed architecture using the Condor middleware to improve scalability, resource utilization, and costs. Test results on sample data sets show that the distributed approach significantly increases computational throughput and allows processing larger data sets.

Housing Market and Economic Outlook: July 2011REALTORS
- The housing market showed signs of improvement in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, though sales were still down in many areas due to the end of the homebuyer tax credit.
- Job growth and economic factors like rising stock markets and rents are expected to support a more stable housing market going forward, with annual sales growth projected around 4% without tax credits.
- However, uncertainty remains around potential policy changes in Washington and high unemployment could continue hindering the recovery.

VERTEX's CEO, Bill McConnell, PE, JD, MSCE, CDT, provides his annual outlook on the state of the Construction industry. The US economy has expanded, albeit slowly, for the past 8+ years. The construction industry, which over-corrected during the Great Recession, has rebounded with vengeance on the heels of record private construction spending. On the other hand, public construction spending was considerably less in 2017 than it was in 2006. Moving forward, all indicators suggest that private construction will slow while public construction spending will soon pick up steam. Also, all good things come to an end, and the current economic expansion will be no different—it is likely the US will enter into a mild recessionary cycle in late 2019 or 2020.

It identifies 8 key factors: affordability, location, interest rates and inflation rates, mortgage rates, population growth and limited supply, the economy and unemployment, property taxes, and government policies. It provides analysis of each factor, including how rising incomes and affordability have not kept pace with home price increases. Charts show relationships between home prices, income, and location-based home price to income ratios.
The US housing market is healthier now than during the Great Recession, however COVID-19 is negatively impacting sales. Pending home sales declined 40% YoY in mid-April due to fewer listings and showings. Unemployment could increase mortgage defaults if it remains high. Home prices are at record highs but historically low mortgage rates have improved affordability. Demand from millennial first-time buyers may sustain the market but supply constraints exist in some areas.
Land use and real estate development consultants from The Concord Group offer up a brief overview of the current for-sale housing market conditions and forecast both national and regional recovery scenarios. Land/lot development is expected to precede a broader housing recovery by as much as 18 months, suggesting that builders and developers move to make adjustments to land entitlements and planning immediately to be in position to meet new-home demand when it returns in full force.

- The document summarizes the state of the US housing market and economic outlook based on a presentation by Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors.
- It finds that the first-time homebuyer tax credit was successful in stimulating home sales but much of the benefit went to those who would have bought anyway. Continued job growth is needed for further recovery.
- While home prices and sales are stabilizing, high foreclosure and housing inventory rates remain risks going forward. The outlook expects moderate economic and housing market growth through 2010 but uncertainty remains from factors like a possible Greek debt crisis contagion.
The document discusses 10 major themes for 2010 and beyond related to offsetting economic forces. Some of the key themes discussed include: 1) The US dollar may be neutral in early 2010 but weaken later in the year as US economic weakness persists relative to other economies. 2) Rising US government borrowing needs may be offset by increasing consumer savings and shifts to fixed income. 3) The need for the US to cut spending and raise taxes may be offset by the US simply printing more money to avoid difficult political choices.

The document provides an analysis of the real estate market in Princeton and Greater Princeton, NJ from January 2020. It discusses inventory levels, pending sales, absorption rates and other metrics in different towns over the past 3-4 years. The markets show signs of stability with absorption rates around 10 months and inventory either steady or declining in most towns. The summary also notes signs of modest price increases in the state.
This document summarizes Lawrence Yun's presentation on the recovery of the housing market and job market to normal levels. It finds that while consumer confidence about current conditions is low, confidence about the future is improving. It also notes that jobs growth has added over 1 million jobs in the past year but it could take until 2015 to return to normal 6% unemployment levels. The housing market fundamentals have returned to justifiable levels with home prices stabilizing and sales improving in line with job growth, but mortgage underwriting remains too strict. The outlook predicts moderate GDP growth and over 2 million new jobs added annually over the next two years, with housing sales and values expected to improve gradually as the job market recovers.
The document discusses the subprime mortgage crisis that began in the early 2000s and led to a recession. It describes how many Americans took out subprime mortgages that they could not afford once rates adjusted higher. This caused a surge in foreclosures that hurt the housing and construction industries. While the crisis began in 2001, its effects were not fully felt until 2007 when home prices declined significantly and the economy entered a recession. Recent investments in housing developments suggest a possible recovery, but many are still dealing with the financial impacts of the crisis years later.

This is common because most of the properties up for sale at these auctions are worth less than the total amount owed to the bank: the minimum bid in most foreclosure auctions equal the outstanding loan amount, the accrued interest and any fees associated with the foreclosure sale.
