From CoreLogic:
Distressed Sales Accounted for Just 11 Percent of Total Home Sales in June
Distressed sales (REO and short sales) accounted for 11.4 percent of total home sales in June, the lowest share since December 2007 and a strong improvement from the same time a year ago when this category made up 15.8 percent of total sales. Within this category, REO sales made up 7.2 percent of total home sales, and short sales made up 4.2 percent of total sales in June. At its peak, the distressed sales share totaled 32.5 percent of all sales in January 2009, with REO sales making up 28 percent of that share. The more recent shift away from REO sales is a driver of improving home prices, as REOs typically sell at a larger discount compared to healthy sales than do short sales. There will always be some amount of distress in the housing market, so one would never expect a 0-percent distressed sales share, but the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was traditionally about 2 percent.
Michigan had the largest share of distressed sales of any state at 27 percent[1] in June, followed by Illinois (24.1 percent), Florida (23.6 percent), Nevada (22.7 percent) and Georgia (20.7 percent). California experienced a 14.6-percentage point drop in the distressed sales share, the largest of any state. Of the largest 25 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) based on population, Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, Ill. had the largest share of distressed sales at 27.4 percent, followed by Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla. (26.4 percent), Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (24.8 percent), Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (24.6 percent) and Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, Nev. (23.9 percent). Sacramento-Roseville-Arden-Arcade, Calif. had the largest drop in its distressed share, falling by 17.1 percentage points from 33.1 percent in June 2013 to 16.1 percent in June 2014.
Existing home sales due out at 10
From MarketWatch:
Sales of existing homes seen holding steady in July
The sales pace of previously owned homes likely held steady last month, staying close to the fastest pace since late 2013, according a consensus forecast.
Economists polled by MarketWatch expect the annual sales rate for existing home ticked down to 5 million last month from 5.04 million in June, which was the fastest pace since October. If data show that sales declined in July, that would be the first decrease in four months.
Economists expect total deals this year to wind up below 2013’s tally, pulled down by a weak first half of the year. A July pace of 5 million would mean the sales rate was down 7% from the year-earlier period.
An unusually harsh winter, escalating mortgage rates and prices, limited inventory and tight credit standards have all contributed to holding back home sales. Households are also increasingly interested in renting than owning.

Let’s see if you can identify all the bullsh1t in these two sentences.
On my way to work. Doing my best to support all the Oblamma voters.
North Jersey MLS stats for July 2014 are about the most confusing I’ve ever seen, year over year comparisons yield no clear direction, trend, or even reason.
Inventory, Contracts, Contract Prices, Sales, Sales Prices, DOM, SP/LP, etc.
Up, down, left, right, towns you’d expect to do well didn’t, towns you didn’t expect to do well did.
East Orange…
Inventory down, median LP up to $125k from $109k. Contracts more than double, up to 24 from 11, with prices up to $130k from $80k. Sales up way more than double, to 20 from 8, with median price up to $116k from $68k.
Then you’ve got Berkeley Heights, with sales falling to nearly half, from 32 to 17, however median sales price skyrocketed from $499k to $630k.
Over the highway in Plainfield sales jumped to 29 from 18, with median sales price up to $190k from $148k.
Westfield sees sales fall from 63 to 53, with median sales price down to $652k from $760k. But Summit holds strong with 41 sales, vs 43 last year, and median sales price holding tight at $1.25m.
Millburn still hot, sales up to 48 from 43, median SP holding firm at $1.52m. Contracts up strongly to 40 from 28, with median LP up to just shy of a million, from $875k.
Out in Vernon, rocketship, sales up to 27 from 19 last year, with the median sales price up to $200k from $165k. Contracts slightly down, 32 to 29, however median lp up strongly, in line with sales at $160k to $199k.
Out in Morris, Kinnelon market virtually grinds to a halt, 23 sales last July, down to 8. Median SP up to $515k, average DOM down by 25%. However, contracts push higher, up to 11 from 8 last year, with prices jumping from $589k to a staggering $650k
Put this in contrast with Montville, who is absolutely on fire. Sales up to 41 from 29 last year, however closing prices drip to $572k from $630k. However, fire looks to be going out, with contracts dropping to 22 from 30.
Not sure what’s going on in Morris Twp, but that’s where the inventory is. Massive jump in inventory, up to 207 from 143, with June seeing 63 new listings hit the market, almost double what we saw last June, 36. What the hell happened in Morris?
Clifton, like always, middle of the road. Inventory nearly on par with last year, inventory lp on par, contracts on par, sales on par. So completely boring, if not for all the damn activity, 64 under contract in June, 56 sold.
Over the border in Paterson, all over the place, sales down from 31 to 18, SP down from $145k to $128k, however contracts showing a strong reversal, up to 32 from 19, with prices firm at $147k. Must be all the business 30yr is doing.
Montclair, booooring, other than inventory being sharply lower, and at a higher price, with fewer homes coming to the market, those too at higher price. Glen Ridge? Snooooozefest. Started the year as one of the hottest towns in the state, now taking siesta in the backyard hammock. Will say though that prices in Montclair up strongly to $675k from $618k, as well in Maplewood, up to $580k from $495k. If that’s too expensive, head over to Irvington, median SP of the 11 houses sold last month was $50k.
If you are a real estate agent in Hunterdon, sorry to hear it, talk about absolutely boring. Out in Warren, inventory solidly up year over year, in almost every town in the country.
How’s the trend in Sussex County towns….like Sparta, Newton, and Andover? I get the sense things might be picking up….I wonder if people are being priced out of areas closer to the city…
Sussex – July
Active
2013 – 2463 @ $289,233 Avg. LP
2014 – 2383 @ $300,590 Avg. LP
New
2013 – 324 @ $278,871
2014 – 389 @ $324,323
UC
2013 – 161 @ $249,852
2014 – 184 @ $248,934
Sold
2013 – 151 @ $257,480 DOM 124
2014 – 142 @ $244,997 DOM 145
Out in Andover, lower inventory at a higher price, fewer listings came to the market, but at a significantly higher price, contracts and sales slightly higher (very slightly), but at higher prices. On the sales side, up to 6 from 4, but with the Avg. SP up to $344k from $229k.
Personally, I think Sparta has a massive overhang of inventory, well over 12 months at current sales pace. Sales down slightly, 31 to 27, avg SP down to $344k from $381k. However, contracts holding, 32 this year vs 30 last year, with price must stronger, Avg LP up to $396k from $374k.
The trend is toward final doom. All else is noise.
The dirty bomb of an unstable, rigged-up housing market is being packed with tacks and medical waste. Any little thing will set off an implosion that will leave us all living like cavemen, roaming the country in armed packs and sleeping in the open.
And where are the qualified sellers?
seems that shooter’s anger resulted from his mother being a whor e. that’s why many of you can relate to him
“Online court records show that Wilson’s mother — Tonya Durso, also known as Tonya Harris — pleaded guilty in 2001 to a dozen felony stealing and forgery counts in Missouri’s St. Charles County just west of St. Louis and was sentenced to five years on probation, with the judge suspending a five-year prison sentence. Durso was 35 when she died in 2002, and Wilson was placed under the guardianship of Tyler Harris until a St. Charles County judge dissolved that in mid-2004.”
@AP: Ferguson police officer who shot unarmed 18-year-old has lived quiet and sometimes turbulent life
there was somebody here looking for a $500,000 house in Summit
“But Summit holds strong with 41 sales, vs 43 last year, and median sales price holding tight at $1.25m.”
12 – So Wilson came from a difficult background and struggled as a youth, just as many of the young residents of Ferguson had? With all the talk about community policing lately, and the demographics of the PD being in-line with the population, it would seem that Wilson’s struggle put him in the same position as many Ferguson youth. The fact that he could overcome such significant adversity should make him a role model, no?
I know many in that same position would have turned to drugs and crime, having given up on society. Clearly he did not have a well-off upbringing, and came from a shattered household, losing everything. Wilson need not “Check His Privilege”, he had none.
I believe that Wilson had discussed this somewhat publicly in the past, the fact that he had “made it”, despite the odds, was a defining part of his life.
God help him if he is innocent, because he is going to need it.
One thing is for sure, in case of any trial, Wilson is building a healthy warchest.

NJ now the 13th state to enact the Ban-The-Box policy, which bans employers from asking whether or not applications had been convicted of committing a crime.
Push from multiple politicians and groups lately to wipe clean criminal records of minor offenses that limit felons ability to reform themselves post prison.
Decriminalization of minor drug offenses.
Hell, even Fair Isaac chaining the FICO score recently to not penalize borrowers as significantly for medical-related debt and non-payments.

http://news.yahoo.com/kkk-disowns-kkk-fundraiser-darren-wilson-165046965.html
It’s not surprising that an organization known for their hatred of African Americans would unequivocally support a white police officer who has killed one, as the Klan demonizes the black community as a threat to law and order. However, this grab for publicity and fundraising was distasteful even to others in the Klan. Other top officials affiliated with the Klan are not supporting the effort, causing a rift within the community.
The fundraising email is actually in violation of the traditional Klan constitution, according to another Imperial Wizard, Frank Ancona. Ancona leads the Traditionalist American Knights, one of the largest branches of the KKK, approaching 10,000 members in the lower 48 states. Their headquarters are in Missouri.

For such a young guy, he sure is showing signs of being burned-out of his job.
It is pretty evident he is just running out the clock at this point. Sure, he might be uber stressed out as things cascade out of control, but the the fact that he’s not even bothering to keep up appearances is especially troubling. It leaves me wondering what, precisely, he envisioned to be the role of the president of the US? He is not demonstraing the traits of a leader.
I’m really surprised nobody is stepping up to fill the void…huge opportunity right now IMO.

Obama has been checked out since the Obamacare law was passed. Everything else to him has been a distraction to his golf game. Any other sitting President who would leave a 3 minute presser about a beheaded journalist and a racially charged situation in America’s heartland and fly off to play golf would be completly evicerated in the media. Imagine if this was Bush!!

For someone who wants to argue facts, that is one of the most nonsensical and illogical jump you just made there. I was not aware that the offspring of prostitutes are likely to shoot black teenagers. Though, you definitely have a future as a left wing journalist though. This is the poppy-c0ck that they try to pass as a defense when everything else they’ve been fighting for has been proven wrong. I’m done with you.
Would have had more respect for Obama if he held the press conference on the back 9, in front of the beer cart, while having a hot girl crack him open a Heineken and hand it to him halfway through. Bonus points if he’d titled the video with “A Message to ISIS”, provided arabic subtitles, and carried out simulcast drone strikes in Iraq and Syria. “F*ck you and your desert wasteland, thank you, and God Bless America”. Someone needs to send this to SnL.
The president isn’t even hiding it any longer. It’s blatantly obvious, even to his hardcore supporters. He has zero friends on the hill. I would even set the odds at 50/50 that he says something akin to, “I don’t give a f.uck” before his presidency is finished.

Looks like the protests are over. That video and the injuries to the police officer are damning evidence. It appears that even the residents of Ferguson agree that the deadly force was justified. The progressive press did a wonderful job making sure that Wilson was presumed guilty till innocent. I hope you enjoyed the sh1tpie Anon.
Whole Fergerson thing cracks me up. How come when Colin Fergerson a Black man pulled out a gun on the LIRR and started shooting and killing multiple white people by the Garden City stop of LIRR there was not white people protesting. Yet a black guy is shot in the middle of a crime it is a big deal.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) – Money-manager Pimco is fighting “an isolated issue with insects” in its New York office. “As a precautionary measure the firm is fumigating certain areas of the office space,” the unit of Allianz SE ALV, +0.94% said in a statement Wednesday. “During this period our employees are working remotely and we expect to resume full on-premises staffing over the coming days. This is an issue that is far from uncommon in New York City.” Pimco didn’t identify the bugs, but Fox Business Network’s Charles Gasparino reported it was an infestation of bed bugs, citing traders. Bed bugs are blood-sucking insects that prefer warm spots, including beds. Three New York City subway trains were fumigated after riders and staff spotted bed bugs in the cars two weeks ago.
Warren Buffett – the richest man ever to make his fortune through investing – even told his shareholders this year that most people are better off in a Vanguard index portfolio.

Welcome to my world..perhaps the problem is that pricing is completely arbitrary and solely based on what someone is willing to pay. I see comparable houses on same block that sold for 400k last year and now people want 500k
Other decent houses are sitting at 2003-2004 prices with no takers. Some people (aka fools) will pay bloated price bc they do no research past 3 mos. I’m sure this is skewing asking prices and sales. It is a free for all. Lots just sitting and waiting for fantasy price. I think majority of suckers dropped out by early spring thus July numbers.

Accused killer says Livingston teen’s murder was ‘vengeance’ against U.S.
The man accused of gunning down a Livingston teenager in his car earlier this summer told investigators the murder was an act of retribution for U.S. military action against Muslims in the Middle East.
According to court documents filed Wednesday in Washington state, where he is accused of killing three other men, Ali Muhammad Brown said he considered it his mission to murder 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as an act of “vengeance” for innocent lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran.
“All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life,” he told detectives, according to the documents.
Brown, 29, also confessed to killing the other men, all of whom, like Tevlin, were shot multiple times in isolated areas late at night. He described the murder as a “just kill” – carried out against an adult male who was not in the company of any women, children or elderly persons, court papers said.
Prosecutors say Brown is a devout Muslim who had become angered by U.S. military intervention in the Islamic world, which he referred to as “evil.” He also referred to drug use as inherently evil.
“During the interview Brown also stated that, as part of his beliefs, if a ‘man sees evil then he must take action against that evil’,” according to court papers.

I bet those fools never been over to the Middle East, let them rot in jail. Or save the taxpayers money and an accident happens.
Didn’t the press run a character assassination piece on Livingston teen? Somehow said he was over there dealing in drugs or something.
The JJ I know would say that is great news…and he will be buying everything in sight.

#90..actually Star Ledger ran an editorial saying that the Police and Prosecutor slandered the victim by implying the he was “targeted” versus random….
People are flush with Cash. I was in New Jersey Last night at a concert and parents bought tickets, t-shirts, paid for parking, snacks and lot was loaded with 50K SUVs.
I was at the IZOD Center las night and like 10K screaming girls, they were in freenzy, yelling screaming their love. But I told them I am married with my daughter so you got to focus on Austin Mahone and Sean Mendes the two singers on stage. They were disappointed. But the guys on stage were happy I backed off.
Funny story on the way back I95 was a living nightmare in the Bronx I was stuck for any hour so around Jerome Avenue I got off and was snaking on side roads at 12 midnight. The navigation goes turn left of I295 then turn rightfor I 295, they it starts yelling for the love of god get back on I95 you are in the Bronx in middle of night with teenage girls and a Denali. I was pimping it baby, XM, Nav, tints on my Denali the homies they better go running or I go all bonfire of vanities on their butts. But luckily they gave me props as I flew by and no one ended up under my Denali.
Where is Wielebney Ostry Czarny?
WARSAW, Poland — Polish officials have complained to the organizers of the European Swimming Championships in Berlin after an announcer introduced the Polish team by joking that they would return home with stolen cars.
Poland’s Foreign Ministry said its embassy in Berlin was asking for a clarification on the matter and possible “consequences” for the announcer.
Andrzej Kowalski, the president of the Polish Swimming Federation, told the Polish news channel TVN24 that during the event on Monday the announcer said “a large group came from Poland that will return home with our cars.”
“We were shocked. We couldn’t believe what we heard,” Kowalski said.
He said he complained and the announcer made a public apology.
An Associated Press photographer at the event confirmed hearing both the comment and the apology.
Wielebney = Wielebny

Given Columbia’s uber leftist reputation, I surprised you didn’t. Or did you go for The Kremlin on the Charles as we denizens of 02138 called it?

Jeez, I fed the troll, didn’t I? Time to go dump a bucket of ice water on my head.
Seriously, I got challenged so off I go. Piece of cake considering the ice buckets I swam in as a kid.
How about we talk about real problems?

104 – you frequent some weird websites dude
google takes me places no one else can.
I went to high school and college in Florida more than 20 years ago. The high school cheerleaders were super pretty, had nice mild tans. I saw photos from a 25 yr high school reunion and it was so sad. The girls of my youthful dreams had turned into toads, and were barely recognizable. The girls in NJ emulating snooki are going to go down an even steeper slope.
re# 107 – What percentage of 50 yr old women aren’t toads?
Hillary needs to get off the ass tanner.
Hipster beating by the NYPD.

Two markets I know a lot about are Philadelphia and Wilmington, DE. When we started our family, we knew we weren’t staying in Philly because the schools suck and we didn’t want to pay taxes and tuition. As it happened, we moved to NJ.
Later, when we were contemplating a move to Wilmington, we learned that no one of any means sends their kids to Wilmington public schools. They are worse than Philly. Indeed, I know the locations of a dozen private schools in Wilmington but not a single public school. So what folks like us, who don’t feel like paying taxes and tuition, do is to live across the PA line in the uber-blue ribbony Unionville-Chadds Ford School District.

As usual, you are Da Man. Gawd, I feel privileged to have been and done half the manly things you have done.
There are limits though. Lately, I have this strange feeling that my MIL has been coming onto me. Probably just a misperception on my part but Ewwwww.
Man, the media are just scraping the bottom of the pot to keep the Ferguson coverage going.
What are they going to do tonight? 400 reporters chasing 7 people down the street.
Juice,
No they would have only been 41, 42 at the time of the photos. My wife looks 10 years younger than they did, though she’s not. Possibly because Chinese women generally hate getting sun.
Comrade,
Milfs make some sense when you’re 17, not over 40.

@Ragnar….you must not have met a milf who’s rich husband works all the time. The benefits go well beyond a roll in the hay with the right one.
I’m tired of hearing about the Ferguson incident. Now CNN is stating that the officer only had a swollen face but no factures. The “source” is always a friend of a friend that’s close to …

If people really wanted the ALS challenge to go viral, they would have made it a wet t-shirt challenge. Either you pay or you play.

Go back and ask Columbia to give you an Ahmadinejad scholarship.
That fcuking traitorous skool is actually interested in my son. I enjoyed calling them and personally telling them he will attend over my dead body. Fcuking anti-Semites.
“funny you should mention it cause back in the day Columbia’s school of journalism wanted me to attend”
Wow. What cleared the room here?
Can’t be my calling Columbia U anti-Semitic…
Everyone is out protesting.
Ask one of the protesters to score me a case of Olde English and a pack of Philly blunts.
Looks like the claim that Wilson had a fractured eye socket might be false.
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/43759_Exposing_Gateway_Pundits_Dishonesty-_He_Altered_a_CT_Scan_Image_to_Trick_His_Readers
Not really. Just an over zealous reporter. I’m sure his eye socket was fractured. The reporter just couldn’t get a copy of the x-rays. But you really want there to be a cover up. I understand well the progressive mindset. You believe those who do not agree with you are less intelligent, or dare I say, dumb enough to take you at your word.
So why didnt he just say they were the actual xrays. Uh maybe bc hes dishonest. Surprised you are 100 pct believing the words of a rigbt wing blogger when you scold anon daily for doing the same.
I’m not saying he was not trying to deceive.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless think about if you added
some great images or video clips to give your posts
more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and
clips, this site could certainly be one of the greatest
in its field. Superb blog!
