Charlotte home prices hit new low

Or so reports the UPoR. Which is good, I suppose, in that it’s always darkest just before dawn. Of course, given the mass of foreclosures in the pipeline/still to come and with unemployment extremely high, there’s no guarantee though when housing’s new dawn gets here or how bright it will be. Unlike cars or refrigerators, houses don’t have really a limited lifespan, so there’s no penned up replacement demand, so a slow status quo in housing can in theory continue for a quite prolonged period of time.

Bonus observation: The best hope for housing is actually population growth of a tad under 1 percent a year nationally. Eventually, as the number of Americans increases, the excess of housing that currently exists will be taken care of. It just will take some time.

    To think that the CO indicated just recently that prices rose 3.5%. Just to suck up to the DNC and to make it look good to the masses who are obvioulsy clueless or why is the county filled with these loser politicans.
