                       MSN Money.com, Case Shiller
Projections for 2012
“For 2012, we are expecting better
housing numbers than in 2011, and
a better second half than first.”
IHS Global Insights




                                     IHS Global Insights 2/13/2012
Projections for 2012
        “A lot of housing and
   macroeconomic data came in
   higher than expected so far in
    2012…while jobless claims
    have fallen steadily this year
   and indications on consumer
     sentiment show Americans
   may be ready to begin buying
          properties again.”
          Jason Philyaw, Editor, Housing Wire


Housing Wire 2/27/2012
Projections for 2012
  “The US economy continues to build on the momentum
  from the end of last year. Our outlook anticipates gradual,
  but steady, improvement in the economy and the housing
  market, supported by low interest rates and brightening
  job market prospects.”

  Frank Nothaft. Freddie Mac VP and chief economist




Freddie Mac 2/22/2012
Projections for 2012
   “The improved tone of housing data
   buoys hopes that the market may be on
   the verge of its long-awaited recovery.
   ..Increases in new- and existing-home
   sales over the last three months follow
   stronger job creation and improved
   affordability, including the overall drop
   last month in conventional mortgage
   rates to below 4%.”

Warren Buffett Speaks Out

Is it time to buy real estate?
“If I had a way of buying a couple hundred thousand single-family homes I
would load up on them.”


Why invest in real estate now?
“It’s a way, in effect, to short the dollar because you can take a 30-year
mortgage and if it turns out your interest rate’s too high, next week you
refinance lower. And if it turns out it’s too low, the other guy’s stuck with it for
30 years. So it’s a very attractive asset class now.”




                                                                             CNBC 2/13/2012
Warren Buffett Speaks Out

Is buying your own home better than investing in
stocks right now?
“If I knew where I was going to want to live the next five or 10 years I would
buy a home and I’d finance it with a 30-year mortgage… It’s a terrific deal.”


Should we buy multiple houses?
“If I was an investor that was a handy type and I could buy a couple of them
at distressed prices and find renters, I think it’s a leveraged way of owning a
very cheap asset now and I think that’s probably as an attractive an
investment as you can make now.”

Impact of Settlement
“The settlement sets forth clear guidelines for
lenders and servicers to follow when foreclosing,
which should allow them to push through some of
the delayed foreclosures from last year.”
Brandon Moore, Chief Executive of RealtyTrac

                                               RealtyTrac 2/16/2012
Impact of Settlement
“The settlement helps the housing market in the
long run because it allows banks to proceed with
millions of foreclosures that have been stalled.
Many lenders have refrained from foreclosing on
homes as they awaited the settlement.”
Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities
                                                            Washington Post 2/08/2012
Impact of Settlement
“I think there’ll be more price weakness, because
we’ll see the number of distressed sales pick up.
But I think the price declines will be modest.”
Mark Zandi, Chief Economist Moody’s Analytics

Price Depreciation
“The latest settlement will hasten
the pace of filings and push up the
distress sale share of total sales
over the next several quarters,
driving national
house prices down
another 3%.”

Short Sales Surging

“We continued to see a shift toward pre-foreclosure
sales, or short sales, and away from REOs…
That trend will likely show up in more local
markets in 2012 as lenders recognize
short sales as a better option for many
of their non-performing loans.”

    Warren Buffett SpeaksOut Is it time to buy real estate? “If I had a way of buying a couple hundred thousand single-family homes I would load up on them.” Why invest in real estate now? “It’s a way, in effect, to short the dollar because you can take a 30-year mortgage and if it turns out your interest rate’s too high, next week you refinance lower. And if it turns out it’s too low, the other guy’s stuck with it for 30 years. So it’s a very attractive asset class now.” CNBC 2/13/2012

    Warren Buffett SpeaksOut Is buying your own home better than investing in stocks right now? “If I knew where I was going to want to live the next five or 10 years I would buy a home and I’d finance it with a 30-year mortgage… It’s a terrific deal.” Should we buy multiple houses? “If I was an investor that was a handy type and I could buy a couple of them at distressed prices and find renters, I think it’s a leveraged way of owning a very cheap asset now and I think that’s probably as an attractive an investment as you can make now.” Source: CNBC 2/13/2012

    Impact of Settlement “Thesettlement sets forth clear guidelines for lenders and servicers to follow when foreclosing, which should allow them to push through some of the delayed foreclosures from last year.” Brandon Moore, Chief Executive of RealtyTrac RealtyTrac 2/16/2012
  • 26.
    Impact of Settlement “Thesettlement helps the housing market in the long run because it allows banks to proceed with millions of foreclosures that have been stalled. Many lenders have refrained from foreclosing on homes as they awaited the settlement.” Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities Washington Post 2/08/2012

    Mortgage Forgiveness DebtRelief Act Obama’s 2013 budget proposal includes an extension of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007. Without the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, debt reduced through mortgage modifications or short sales qualifies as income to the borrower and is taxable. The administration’s extension would apply to any amounts forgiven before January 1, 2015. DS News 2/15/2012
