- You Never Know When The Glass Is Empty In California
-
KMPH reports from California. “An inventory closeout auction in Chowchilla, Sunday afternoon, placed high-end homes in the reach of buyers in need of a break. In a time when home sales are low and foreclosure rates high, Michael and Hermosa Dopheide landed their 4-bedroom home. It was previously priced at $319,000 but they bought it for a flat $200,000. ‘We’re both teachers and we don’t really have a lot of cash, so we have to be really very discriminate in the way we use it,’ said Hermosa.”

- Roubini on Shape of Recession
-
Note: A “V” shaped recession is usually short, and fairly shallow like in ‘90-’91 and ‘01. Both of those recessions lasted 8 months. A “U” shaped recession is longer and possibly deeper. A “W” shaped recession is a double dip (like in ‘80 and ‘81/’82). And an “L” shaped recession is like the experience in Japan in the ’90s. Professor Roubini writes: The US Recession: V or U or W or L-Shaped?….

Best CMBS paper to date (from BOA):http://www.mediafire.com/?bfylmzdgyu2Has well reasoned ideas on commercial real estate losses and what that will translate to in CMBS losses. Here is the meat:• Pre-2007 market price-implied loss expectations were about $12-18 billion US over the next decade. Yet, key market prices were distorted by demand from CDOs.

- March Reporting Roundup
-
I would have posted the reporting roundup on Saturday, but I was out of town for the weekend, and my only Internet access was dial-up (*shudder*). The tone of this month’s reporting isn’t too much different from last month, except that we’ve got a small dose of optimism thanks to a slight spring improvement. Of course, we’ve got still more bottom-calling as well, so that’s fun.
Also, Seattle Bubble gets yet another mention on TV.

More than $25 billion would be handed out to homebuilders over a three-year period in the form of rebates of income taxes paid during the height of the housing boom.”

- NBER’s Feldstein: U.S in Recession, Will Probably Linger
-
From Reuters: NBER’s Feldstein says U.S. sliding into recession “I think that December/January was the peak and that we have been sliding into recession ever since then,” [Martin] Feldstein, the president of the National Bureau of Economic Research, said on CNBC television. Feldstein also said he thinks the recession will “linger” and that it might last twice as long as the previous two recessions (both lasted 8 months). He also thinks Q1 GDP might be misleading - his view is the economy is in recession even if the preliminary GDP report shows some positive real growth.
