6. Consumer Sentiment Not This Low
Since Early 1980s
• U.S. Economy: Consumer Sentiment Falls on Job Losses
• By Shobhana Chandra and Bob Willis
• 1966Q1 = 100
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Sentiment among U.S. consumers, whose spending is critical to
an economic recovery, dropped in July after four months of gains as unemployment
approached 10 percent.
• The Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment fell by
more than forecast to 64.6 from 70.8 in the prior month. A separate report from the
Commerce Department showed the trade deficit unexpectedly narrowed in May to the
lowest level in almost a decade.
• Unemployment is rising even as economists predict an end to the recession in
coming months. Consumers in the survey said they are less likely to buy cars or appliances,
suggesting that the recovery may be weaker than anticipated.

10. 2009: Foreclosure Forecast
Within Company-Owned Footprint

County.
Less than 72 foreclosures in 08540 (3
townships).
Less than 27 foreclosures in West Windsor.
Majority of the 1800 are in Trenton.

11. Home Price Trends in Down Markets:
Big Declines in Subprime Neighborhoods
Yellow – Conforming Loans Only (OFHEO)
Orange – All Loans including subprime and jumbo loans (Case-Shiller)
Red – Subprime Loans (NAR estimate based on subprime weight)

12. Where is the bottom of the market?
“The effects (of foreclosures) are continued declining
prices….probably another 5-8%* to the bottom. As for the
effect of foreclosure pricing, all of these problems are
causing home prices to go lower than is necessary from an
affordability perspective.
That’s because everyone is now worrying about job
security.
As a result, the recovery will take place at a faster pace
once it gets started.”
– Jeff Otteau (otteau.com- January 2009)

13. What about the Real Estate
Markets….?

14. Pending Home Sales Record Fourth Straight Monthly Gain
Washington, July 01, 2009
Pending home sales show a sustained uptrend, rising for four
consecutive months with very favorable housing affordability
and a first-time buyer tax credit boosting activity, according to
the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index,1 a forward-looking indicator
based on contracts signed in May, increased 0.1 percent to
90.7 from an upwardly revised reading of 90.6 in April, and is
6.7 percent higher than May 2008 when it was 85.0. The last
time there were four consecutive monthly gains was in October
2004.

15. “Everything I am
seeing tells me we
have arrived at the
bottom of the market,
specifically in the
popular and
affordable price
ranges.”

Quick Take: Housing Starts and Bank Profits
Where is the bottom of the market?
July 17, 2009
By Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist
www.realtor.org
•Homebuilders are getting busier. Housing starts rose 4
percent to 582,000 annualized unit pace in June, the
highest six months and over 100,000 higher from the
pace just two months ago. The construction of single-
family homes advanced while that of multifamily units
declined. But even with the latest rise, new construction
activity is still down by 46 percent from one year ago.
Recent prior months data were modestly revised
upward.

Quick Take: Housing Starts and Bank Profits
Where is the bottom of the market?
July 17, 2009
By Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist
www.realtor.org
•At the bubblish peak in 2005, new home construction totaled 2.1
million units. So the current activity is only about one-quarter of
the peak level. Clearly unsustainable then, but the four straights
years of housing starts decline has translated into over one
million job losses in the residential construction sector. The latest
rise in building could arrest further job cuts in the sector.
•Perhaps the worst is over. Home sales have been rising
modestly in the past few months. The builders took our more
housing permits, a good indicator of future housing starts. Still
inventory of existing homes remain elevated (nationally) and
the builders will have difficult time competing….

East Windsor Active Inventory
East Windsor Actives

33. •With few exceptions (Princeton Township, Hamilton and
Ewing, Inventory in Mercer County is down compared to the
last several years.
•Absorption Rates in the majority of towns are lower,
suggesting an improved sales performance, specifically in the
lower price ranges in each town and product line (is single
family, townhouses, etc.
•The most expensive homes in each Community will have the
slowest pace of sales and continued depreciation.
• The 55+ Active Adult market will continue to struggle.

34. While continuing economic challenges lie ahead, it’s
instructive to remember that the housing market tends to lead
the economy in-to and out-of recession. …
Building on last month’s column as to what a housing recovery
will look like – more homes selling and fewer to choose from –
the New Jersey market continued in the direction of
stabilization last month. In May, Contract-Sales continued to
rise by equaling the pace from one year ago and appear poised to
exceed last year’s sales pace soon. Such a break-through above
the prior year’s pace has occurred only 3 times in the past 5 years,
in early 2007 and again in July 2007, as the market attempted to
stabilize before being swamped by mortgage foreclosures. But
different from 2007 when home sales slumped in the critical
spring month of April amidst rising foreclosures and falling
consumer confidence, this year’s sales pace has risen steadily in
each month and now stands 86% higher than the January pace.

41. Market Absorption Scale
(Absorption Rate in Months)
5-6 months absorption rate indicates a normal market.

42. Absorption Rate by Price Range
Weichert has been studying market
conditions for more than 3 decades and has
found a direct correlation between market
absorption and property values.
As absorption rates increase beyond a
normal market level of 5-6 months, property
values depreciate annually.

91. 2. The Effect of
Staging on the
Value of a Your
Home .

92. The process of preparing homes for sale
regardless of
Price, Location, or Condition
To achieve the maximum sales price in the
minimum marketing time.
The GOAL is to appeal to the broadest range of BUYERS.

93. The Way You Live In Your Home…

94. … And The Way We Market And Sell A
House Are Two Different Things.

Staging
is Always Less than Your
First Price Reduction!”

97. … Not The Way It Is Going To Be.

in sales price of an
ASP Staged vs. non-
Staged home is 6.9%.
That is an additional
$31,050 on a $450,000
sale.

marketing time of
an ASP Staged vs.
non-Staged home
is 80% less.

101. 3.The Effect of ‘ Pre-
Inspection’ on the Sale of
Your Home.

102. What is
‘Pre-Inspection?’

103. Home Inspection
WHAT DOES PRE-INSPECTION INCLUDE?
The standard home inspector's report will review the
condition of the home's heating system, central air
conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior
plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible
insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the
foundation, basement, and visible structure.

104. PRE-LISTING Home Inspection
DOESN’T THE BUYER DO THE HOME
INSPECTION?

105. All Negotiations, including real estate, are
all about negotiation and control.
Right Price
Right Staging
All Repairs are done in advance.
Offer a Home Warranty to the buyer..
Who is in control?

inspection.
Fall Thru Percentage 2007: 26%

107. Home Improvements
I am moving out of the house, I do not want
spend too much money to move.
Or
I just spent $$ on a new kitchen, I want $$$$$$
back on that investment when I move.

110. Reality of today’s market is that you will see the
return on your investment not in an inflated sales
price but in retaining the highest percentage of
your list price and staying on the market the fewest
# of days.
Please consult with your Realtor & staging
professional as to which improvements you should
finish to make your home the most salable.
