Hoboken Condos Sales & Activity – Week of November 10th

Technical problem fixed!

We’re back from New Orleans with lots of new information and ideas. Here is a sampling of what was presented:

Finally, there was a presentation by Dr. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, and Dr. Tom Hoenig, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas. Both speakers were of the opinion that the deflation of the bubble has occurred. Dr. Hoenig has some interesting ideas about how to revive the housing market going forward, focusing on a reduced role for governmental intervention and public subsidies that he believes have distorted the market over recent decades. Fix Fannie & Freddie, and return to sound lending principals were the basis of his plan. The two differed only over the continuation of the mortgage interest deduction. It’s easy to criticize statistics and forecasts and to find conflicting predictions. Nonetheless, I’d rather have more information than less.

Back in Hoboken, inventory is down but the holidays are almost upon us. The word on the street is that it is very, very difficult to get a loan unless you have stellar credit and 20% to put down. Even with today’s unbelievably low interest rates, that hurts our market where we have many first time buyers, few of whom have 20% saved, and very few FHA approved buildings which would allow a buyer to obtain financing with a lower down payment. Do future buyers have to change their spending and credit habits and start saving more? It seems so, at least for the near future.
