February Figures Surprising
March 27th, 2009
The overall performance of the many industry analysts in the housing and real estate industry got a very welcome surprise indeed as February figures showed a slight rise in terms of movement. But there is a great deal of skepticism on the fact that the market has been victim by many false-positives and this should be treated as welcome news and left to that. The market needs more than slight fluctuations for it to recover and the long term problems faced by the market has shaken the industry down to its knees. The volatile housing market have been in a steady downturn ever since the housing market bubble collapsed that has rippled all over the globe with dire consequences.
Cities are being abandoned and long thriving markets are brought down to it’s knees with many neighborhoods turned into desolate ones in a flash, with people thrown out of their homes to find lodging elsewhere. The foreclosure rates are still quite high even with the government bolstering the economy as people begin to react proactively, saving as much cash in their homes as even the biggest and most established banks face bankruptcy. Life in the real estate industry will have to do more to start recovery, and with new home surplus of almost a year’s worth, recovery won’t be swift.
