The stimulus tax credit expired in April of 2010. There was a sharp drop in the number of sales after that but the number of
sales has been rising (with monthly fluctuation) since June of 2010 without government intervention. Forecasts are for the
number of sales to continue to increase as the economy improves.

17. US Housing Starts www.RichmondHousingToday.com
Source: NAR
Housing starts measure the number of newly constructed homes. The U.S. Population grows by approximately 3 million per
year (though it is estimated to have slowed to 2 million in 2011). Based on population growth and the need to replace some of
the demolished housing units, most economists believe about 1.5 million housing units need to be built each year, which also
happens to be the historical average (shown with the green line).
In recent years, new home construction has been well below the norm contributing to more job losses in the construction
industry. Multifamily units are primarily for rentals and this sector is experiencing a recovery due to rising rents.
Housing starts have risen by 20% so far this year. Falling inventory means that builders need to ramp up production. But many
smaller builders cannot obtain construction loans. Housing starts are forecast to rise 25% in 2012 and by 50% in 2013.

After 2+ years of inventory between 8 and 10 months, inventory began to drop in the later months of 2011 and has
continued to drop in 2012 and 2013. We are following a nationwide trend of declining inventory. In May 2010, there were

The inventory of houses is lowest at the lower price points. As lower priced houses sell, the Sellers will move up
to higher priced houses and the inventory of higher priced houses should start going down. There are clearly still
challenges for Sellers at the higher price points. However, the number of sales at the higher price points is
increasing.
