Sunday Morning - My Old Home Burned Up (Fire Updates) by Kathy McGraw
On to the Industry Report...
Existing Home Sales: are looking ugly for the month of September.
Unsold inventory spiked to a 10.5 month supply
Median home price dropped by 4.2% year over year to $211,000
California and Florida are designated as the biggest problem areas as they have also enjoyed some of the more larger gains in the most recent years.
It's anticipated that much like the housing decline in the early 90's, a full recovery will most likely be achieved in years rather than just months.
Stocks have been under selling pressure this morning...
Kathy: why thanks for chiming in...by the way, did you notice the update I made???
It's good to hear that your daughter is doing ok.
Ana: as usual, it's my pleasure! As for what is transpiring, it's such a catastrophe!!! It's times like these when you need people the most. A small reminder that you have friends to support you is always a good thing! :)
