Drop in inventory of new for-sale homes an encouraging sign - Jacksonville Business Journal:
ignatiywulyxura.blogspot.com
The number of newly constructed, but homes in Alamance, Forsythu and Guilford counties declinedto 1,466 in May 2009, compared to the 2,192 available in May according to data compiled by Nashville-based research firm . It’ds a positive piece of news for a residential real estatee market battered in the last year by lack of available credit andthe U.S. recession. According to MarketGraphics, a relativelh “healthy” inventory of unsold new homes for the area the size of the Triacd is inthe 1,200 to 1,3000 range.
“We’re basically going through a correctiobn cycle, and the good news is, we’r progressing on a positive saidJerry Herman, president of the Triad builders say the inventor decrease mostly stems from the fact that they have sharplyh reduced the number of “spec” homees — houses without a specific buyer under contract — bein built in the past 12 monthzs in order to adjust to weakening demand and give the marke t time to absorb the product already built.
Spec home are typically built anticipatingg that some buyers will want to move into a new homerelativelhy fast, often 60 days or less, ratheer than wait for a home to be builft specifically for them, a process that can take twicre as long or more. But when a market turns builders can get stuck with too manyunsold homes, straining them with debt payments and property taxes. Groveer Shugart, president of Winston-Salem-based , said he has cut his company’as inventory by 52 percent fromDecembe 2007, to about 100 spec homes now. He said he’z advertised discounts on options and other incentives in ordet to sell excess inventory and has built at a muchslowerr pace.
These days, he said, the company maintaind about three spec homes in each of its communities for thosew who want to movein immediately, instead of the five or six he woulfd have had on hand a few yearz ago. “Everyone is just bein g a lot more careful thanthey were,” Shugarty said. Builders are relying far more theswe dayson pre-sales, a safer bet than spec homes becausde the company isn’t stuck paying interesyt and taxes until it finds a buyer.
Tom regional president of Eastwood Homed in HighPoint — where spec home inventory has been slasheed by more than half, to less than 20 said about 40 percent of the firm’s sales used to be spec These days, however, it’ only about 15 Of course, the drop in inventory also is a reflectionh of a slower building marketg overall. MarketGraphics data shows that the number of homes started by builders has fallen 38 percent in thelast year, to And the number currently under construction is down by almost 40 to 696, from May 2008. Therew also are just fewer activd buildersout there. Some of the area’ds most prolific builders, including John Kavanag Co.

The deal resulted in BofA’w receiving an additional $20 billion in federal funds undet the Troubled Asset Relief BofA has received a totalof $45 billion in TARP funds. Lewiz has been under intense pressure from BofA shareholders for not disclosinv the depthof Merrill’ s financial difficulties before the Merrill lost $15.3 billion in the fourth quarter. Lawmakers questioned Lewis on reports that he felt pressured byfederal authorities, including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Henry to go ahead with the deal in Decembere as Merrill’s losses mounted. Lewixs testified that BofA contacted officials atthe U.S.

When lawmakers presses him Thursday on the alleged threatsby regulators, Lewis said both partiese were concerned about making the best decisions for the healtn of the U.S. economy and BofA.

Lewis testified that he wasn’t intimidated by the threart of losing his job but bythe “seriousnesxs of the threat” and the ramificationws on the overall economy had an influence on his “Just six months later, it is easy to forget just how close to the brink our system Lewis said. “I will neveer forget.” Still, some lawmakers suggested Lewis should have knownabout Merrill’s lossees before December.
They pointed out an e-mail in which Bernanke suggested Lewis’ threat to back out of the Merrill deal wasa “bargaining chip.” Lawmakers also pointed to other e-mails from regulators suggestintg Lewis’ claims about surprisingf losses were “not credible.” Rep. Dennis Kucinic h (D-Ohio), among others, suggested the e-mails indicated Lewis threatenede to call off the Merrillo deal as a way to land moregovernmenft aid. “It’s quite possible it was Bank of Americas that put a gun to the head ofthe government,” Kucinichu said.
BofA eventually closed the deal withMerrill Lynch, and receivesd a $20 billion loan from the TARP fund to cover the Merrilkl losses. Also on Thursday, Lewisw indicated that federal officials never asked him to withholfd information from shareholders that BofA thought needed to be That caused lawmakers to remind him he wasundetr oath.
