From CoreLogic (no link):
Home Prices Down 3.9 Percent Year-Over-Year
Home prices in the U.S. decreased 1.3 percent on a month-over-month basis, the third consecutive monthly decline. According to the CoreLogic HPI, national home prices, including distressed sales, also declined by 3.9 percent on a year-over-year basis in October 2011 compared to October 2010. This follows a decline of 3.8 percent* in September 2011 compared to September 2010. Excluding distressed sales, year-over-year prices declined by 0.5 percent in October 2011 compared to October 2010 and by 2.1* percent in September 2011 compared to September 2010. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.
Highlights as of October 2011
* Including distressed sales, the five states with the highest appreciation were: West Virginia (+4.8 percent), South Dakota (+3.1 percent), New York (+3.0 percent), District of Columbia (+2.4 percent) and Alaska (+2.1 percent).
* Including distressed sales, the five states with the greatest depreciation were: Nevada (-12.1 percent), Illinois (-9.4 percent), Arizona (-8.1 percent), Minnesota (-7.9 percent) and Georgia (- 7.3 percent).
* Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the highest appreciation were: South Carolina (+4.6 percent), Maine (+3.1 percent), New York (+3.1 percent), Alaska (+2.9 percent) and Kansas (+2.8 percent).
* Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the greatest depreciation were: Nevada (-8.8 percent), Arizona (-7.0 percent), Minnesota (-5.7 percent), Delaware (-3.9 percent) and Georgia (- 3.6 percent).
* Including distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the national HPI (from April 2006 to October 2011) was -32.0 percent. Excluding distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the HPI for the same period was -22.4 percent.

Good Morning New Jersey
Yes and mortgage applications are way the hell up!!! Happy days are here again!! I bet I’ll have my house sold for my damn asking price shortly. Hell, I’d love to get a little payback on these stinking buyers–I’d love to see them begging and bidding again just like the old days!

My Dentist just told me he purchased in Boca year 2005, he put 350K down and just had to bring 250K to the closing when he sold. I asked him why didn’t you walk away? He said the bank would come after him since he has assets. He said he purchased in 2005 because he wanted a place to retire and didn’t want the prices to run away from him. I am thinking I may not need the root canal/crown he wants to do? I didn’t ask him about the shore house he as.

Gary (10) – There’s a short sale on the far south end of Glen Ridge on Midland Avenue with a “1” handle – $199k. Sure, it’s steps from East Orange, but there are several people who paid “3” and “4” handle prices on that very same block within the last few years. Ouch.
Gator,
Yes, very interesting!! I think the fun is just beginning and I had this vision in my head that some sellers would get to the point where they’re telling potential buyers that they’ll take the squirrels with them! lol! A far cry from 2005. Ultimately, it’s the property taxes that will be the fatal blow. They continue to rise unabated.
This one has a certain seduction; even though I’m not looking at townhouses. Read the description. The price can be had in the 300s range:

Friend in Slummit is thinking of moving. But unfortunately she bought in 2004 and put maybe 5% down. Place is a 3/1 with zero renovations. Friend says neighbor and local real estate agent told her she’d likely have to sell at a loss. She says she’s not sure if she should believe it because updated capes have sold for what she paid and Zillow says the house is worth 100k more. Sigh.
Allendale, buttoned up nicely, granite kitchen and bathroom, nice property. It’s on Crescent Ave. which is a double yellow but it has a “4” handle and nothing needs to be done. Hey folks, tick… tick.. tick…

Gary #10: But yeesh, look at that kitchen. It’s just waiting for one of those time capsule house people to grab it.
[11] Gator,
Explains why he described the Brig as middle class but Summit as upper class. If you get into the data, I expect there isn’t much difference, but folks in the Brig don’t consider themselves to be 1%ers while Hilltoppers do.
It’s one of the things I like about the Brig. Not that there isn’t attitude, but there is a LOT less of it here than in Summit.
14 – You must be mistaken, the South End of Glen Ridge borders North Orange, more specifically the “Upper Orange” neighborhood of North Orange.
I wish you wouldn’t keep calling it East Orange, you might give folks here the wrong impression about the area.
A few days ago, I posted a story about booming gun sales on Black Friday.
One thing I hadn’t considered was prices. I just got my Cabela’s circular, and the prices for handguns and black guns have really come down. I had not considered adding to my arsenal, but now I just might.
Too bad I can’t write it off as a business expense. So maybe I will settle for the espresso maker.
[20] make
From what I understand from computer experts, he is likely screwed.
But then, for viewing pron at work, he ought to be.
For being STUPID enough to view p**n at work, he ought to be. Perhaps he should seek help to discover why he can’t wait till he gets home. Sorry, zero sympathy for him.
Make [20];
If they want to fire him, they already have all they need. There will be a record of internet traffic webpage requests (including the ‘what’ and the ‘deliver to:’) in the company’s servers. Doesn’t mean it will happen — I know of several “boys’ club” offices, not to mention those like the SEC, but like I said, provided they are smart enough know where to find it, they already have everything they need even without touching his computer.
“That can’t be enough. is it?”
I second Nom’s conclusion that he is likely scr-ewed. My work has involved situations where we had to find files that were deleted in an attempt to hide things. Even without a sophisticated forensic computer analysis, there are pretty easy ways to recover logs and files that one has deleted. Remember “delete” just removes pointers to a location, the underlying data is still there, until overwritten. And, even then, unless the data is overwritten to Milspec, it is not going to take any competent computer forensics specialist to find deleted files.
Beyond that, the IT dept will have logs of every IP address visited by every computer on the network. He may want to negotiate before they confront him.
What Moose said is consistent with what I have experienced. Every step one takes, every file accessed, and protocol used is recorded and accessible to the IT folks. I have seen the logs when we were looking into a series of incidents involving someone who had things they should not have had and were trying hard to cover their tracks. The person in question had high-level responsibility for a large network and still could not cover their tracks when the security apparatus came a-calling.

“Excluding distressed sales”
What a joke. “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?”
Realtor-ese translation: “distress sale” == Any comp I’d rather ignore
I know of one particular neighborhood where a 4/2.5 just traded arms-length for within $3k of a ‘bank-approved’ short sale price on a similar property two blocks away.
These days whether its a ‘distress sale’ has solely to do with the state of the mortgage, and nothing to do with market value. To paraphrase Tanta, “We’re all [distress sales] now.”
Grim 25 – You’re right. These people should consider them selves privileged to own a 1300SF palace updated within the last 50 years on a 40×100 estate just steps from beautiful Upper North Orange for only $400k. And for those who aren’t down with the program, I am sure there’s an invisible fence at the border, right?
It depends on what kind of company he works for whether they will have the competent IT staff to chase this sort of thing down. The first thing going for them is that the IT staff probably considers this not only a waste of their time but of their resources. Who wants to spend all day finding out what kind of pron you were looking at in the last 24 hours when they could be spending time maintaining, building and protecting the networks that they do have.
The first thing I would suggest is that you read through the companies computer usage policy. If it specifically states that it cannot be used for such purposes then you have an uphill struggle. I’m guessing that he works in the US and thus the company is on the hook for EEO compliance. Se*xual harrassment in the workplace is often a big deal.
On the other side of the coin there are reasons why pron sites would be visited without him being able to control it such as a computer virus, malware, spyware, or redirecting websites (think pop ups). Visiting **NSFW** whitehouse(dot)com **NSFW** for instance could be seen as a social engineering trick that would cause someone to visit a pron site.
If it was a light infraction or the first time then you can probably do okay with “I’m sorry, I will make sure it doesn’t happen again. I didn’t realize the computer usage policy applied even when I was on break. I understand that many computer viruses are spread from pron sites and I will make sure not to use the computer for anything other than work related items” If the kid is young then he learned a very valuable lesson about se*xual deviancy in the workplace. If he is older than say 30 then he likely needs to be let go as by that age they should know better.
I consider “not looking at pron” a valuable workplace skill that should have been taught by parents or teachers well before they make it into their jobs. This makes you second guess all the other workplace skills you assume the new employee should have such as not peeing on the toilet seat, turning off the coffee pot if you are the last one out of the office, or not stealing other people’s lunches from the office refridgerator.
Let me add to the list of valuable skills…
…Not burning popcorn in the office microwave.
Re: 20 – kid’s only hope is to get a prescription for pron from his doctor.
I am not joking, the right MD can prescribe daily doses for all kinds of ailments.
Grim release #39 plz
Q: shouldn’t the network automatically block pron; the fact that it does not suggests the sophistication of the IT at that work site……
Blago gets 14 years.
Re-Looking at porn at work
Any half competent IT team probably has a setup like my company, where all traffic goes through proxies, proxies that use your credentials, so that likely each user has their own log or even worse it’s recorded to databases. In any event anytime a page request is sent there is a record, all IT needs to do is either query a DB for the user or retrieve the log file. Either way if the company wants to they’ll throw the book at him. It has happened in my work place before and people have gotten away with such things, low level people though usually get canned with no severance for even lesser indiscretions than that.

Chi, it dependents many companies have stopped trying to block based on content as that is difficult and expensive and try to blacklist known sites or keywords, depending on what he was visiting it might not have been popular enough to end up a black list. Small companies generally don’t have sophisticated IT and usually have a blacklist that was last updated when Clinton was president and would have to manually capture records from the routers based on the NIC address or ip(if static) of the offender and would likely be working with a situation where eventually the logs roll over and are pretty much lost. Any sizable company even if they are IT incompetent will be able to trace the browsing activity back to the workstation, in a small firm it depends on how much money they want to waste as they usually do not have full time IT and are usually not equipped for browsing surveillance.
At our company we have two general access networks. Our corporate network which is heavily locked down with Blue Coat and a separate and more or less open wireless network that employees can use personal devices to access. Users of the open wireless network have to register their devices (by MAC id) to gain access. We do some filtering on the open network, but no real tracking. Essentially our policy is use your work machines for work and use the open network with your personal devices for personal stuff you can’t get to on the corporate network, but act like an adult. If you want to do something quick on FB or eBay, fine, but utilize good judgment and don’t be watching the pron.

HEARD ON THE STREET
DECEMBER 7, 2011
Overheard
For drivers feeling pain at the pump, help is at hand from another type of gas: the invisible kind.
In a report published Tuesday, IHS Global Insight tries to quantify the benefits accruing from America’s shale-gas resource. It claims that in their absence, natural-gas prices could be about $12 per million British thermal units, roughly triple what they are today. IHS calculates the annual savings from this at $926 per household between 2012 and 2015.
At an estimated 122 million households, that equates to $113 billion a year in consumers’ pockets. With Americans currently burning about 135 million gallons of gasoline a year, the savings on natural gas are equivalent to knocking 84 cents off the cost of each one. That is like cutting the average gasoline price over the past 12 months from $3.55 a gallon to $2.71.
A saving compared to what you might have paid is never quite as satisfying as an outright price drop. But until that day comes, in this economy every little bit helps.
—overheard@wsj.com
On our corporate networks there is an access list for unapproved sites such as yahoomail, hotmail, etc to keep people from using non-corporate email resources. They seem to keep that managed pretty well so I’m not certain that companies still don’t have working blacklists.
There are private companies that build “no-go” list for pron sites to protect children if you wanted a parental filter at home. I think it would be easy and cheap enough to annually license that list if you were interested.
Google has by default explicit content filters which you can turn on and off. If you tried Googling for the word “facial” you are served responses for local nail/hair/spa salons in the area. Try turning off the moderator and you will definitely see why they say that 40% off all internet traffic is pron. Google does this for images as well, which I’m not entirely sure how. Perhaps some combination of associated text searching, picture metadata, and old-fashioned eyeballs.
Nicholas, yes it is easy and big companies generally pay the costs to buy the blacklists as well as ones they maintain themselves. Smaller companies do not usually pay continual licensing fees, nor care to spend IT resources on policing it.

Did you add a chart of historical gas prices to put some perspective. Triple I would think to be a bit far fetched. Although even that would be lower than the $15 peak we saw in 2005. The gas price is low today mostly due to oversupply in the US.

JCer – pardon? Not likely, too soon that might come at the end of the administration like a few other Preidents did in the last hours on the job. Tomorrow we get a little dog and pony show, Corzine makes opening statement and then takes the 5th on all questions. A year or so later after an exhaustive Grand Jury investigation (perhaps the longest ever so feel sorry for those folks ) he will be indited and then he will turn himself in, make bail a few minutes later and then a few years from now quietly accept a plea bargain and do a few rounds of community service teaching young folks at a community college about government.
#35 Moose – Throwing stones again for a change?
Distress sales aren’t about a seller with special motivation to accept market value in 30 days or less. Distress sales are about the product. The valid reason to avoid such sales as comps would be based upon substantially inferior condition, inherent defects and floorplan issues. Properties which require rehab loans, cash purchases and acceptance of defects that cannot be remidied are not valid comps for typical homes.

i agree to a point
but if/when the majority of the sales are short sales or foreclosures… does that “set the market” to an extent?
30-yr [58];
Looking to sell in 30 days, or holds out for 409 days, what’s the difference? Both equally distressed, right? I’m sure it doesn’t say a thing about market value.
Just ignore that neighborhood comp (particularly easy when your industry has a stranglehold on the dissemination of sales data).
Joyce [69];
DING!
Oh, and 30-yr, if I was looking to throw stones, I’d spend the time and effort to confirm that the listing agent who just spiked a higher offer was dual-representing the lower offeror. Gee, 5% of x or 2.5% of 2x>y>x … I wonder how that math will work out?

The short answer is that there is oversupply because you can’t export it, but I expect that is not the answer you are looking for. I understand that Fracking sources acount for 30% of todays supply, the big expense is getting to it, once it comes onlie you can start backing off other sources such as generation from coal. On top of that there are over 3000 wells drilled in the last decade that have not been connected to the grid. You could stop all new drilling today and there would not be an impact for years. But today there is the politcal climate of fear and the desire for energy independance. There is a soft political climate to override the ecological arguements. Its the new version od the 1800s land rush. Grab as many fracking sites as you can and get drilling, because the bubble will burst and the gvmt will step in at some point (I hope)with drilling moritoriams.
Here is a nice piece from the Uber progressives at Scientific American. Be sure to check out the comments.

[nat gas]
As opposed to the oil price which is largely controlled by the OPEC as long as the can keep their act together, gas price is more free market, especially within the piped-up geographic regions (e.g. North America). As LNG ports are natural bottlenecks, and LNG tankers are expensive and burn down a meaningful part of their load on the way, price differs between the U.S. v. Europe v. Far East. Back in 2005 we had very expensive gas (x2 of petroleum per BTU) since the import LNG ports were not yet developed, and demand had been outpacing internal supply (multiple reasons including almost exclusively gas heated new homes, and enviro standards making burning cheap coal expensive, at least in the new power stations). This resulted among other things in a significant drop in the domestic basic chemicals (methanol, ammonia, etc.) production increasing their imports and worsening our trade balance, as well as people choosing to have oil heat – which now comes to bite them. Right now and for a while longer we’ll have reasonably cheap gas; I hope some steps are taken to restrict its exports – cost advantage will help the productive industry, also I chose the average homeowner (that saves by having cheap fuel in winter) over the shareholders that gain if thanks to exports the prices rise. Regarding the fracking, if we are into damaging the environment, gas wells are definitely more controllable than blowing off the mountaintops looking for coal.
#64 Chi
Here’s a question.
When will we see the the big push to bring online LNG refineries to take up the excess Natural gas oversupply and start exporting it to the likes of Japan who will need it to replace the generating capacity lost from FU.
Expat Pennsyltucky = Brick?
Pennsyltucky: Some tidbits from the urban dictionary.
Rural parts of Pennsylvania with large concentrations of country folk, noted for interest in Hunting, Country Music, NASCAR, trailer life, Wal-Mart and working at the plant. Often spotted wearing camouflage with full grown beards or unkept caveman appearance driving pickup trucks with gun racks. Note: PA has the largest Rural population of any state, not everyone who lives or is from these regions is a red neck, hick or country bumpkin and most who don’t dislike the reference “Pennsyltuckey” and find it insulting.
The large section of the middle of Pennsylvania where more cars are seen on lawns than the roads. Cousin sex is acceptable, and New Jersey license plates are generally despised.
