  14. Are There Secular Changes Going On Given Economy, Credit Collapse and Household Net Worth Implosion? • Debt & Savings • Discretionary spending patterns • Homeownership • Financial System & Banks

  15. A Thought from Maxine "BAIL EM OUT! ????” Wow, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed, and it closed. Now we are trusting the auto industry, the banking system and healthcare to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!

  16. Looking Ahead to 2010 & 2011

  17. Our Last Economic and Housing Forecasting Staff Meeting

  18. Major Hurdles for 2010 & 2011 • State, local and school districts’ falling revenues • Credit contraction continues – business, consumer credit, mortgages • Jobs, income and spending • Pending changes in laws, regulations and taxes – capital gains tax; cap and trade; financial institutions & banking regs – UNCERTAINTY! • “Extend & Pretend” in banking system • “Foreclosure-gate” • Psychological malaise

  19. Texas Scenarios for 2010-2011 • Texas lagged into recession may be leading out • Expect job losses to stop and new jobs to start being created, 1.5% maybe 2% job growth in 2010 • Natural gas prices and activity just as important as oil prices • Flat housing sales and prices until economy truly recovers • Small and regional bank problems to work out • State, local and school districts financial problems just really starting • In-migration should reinvigorate economic growth and housing markets

  22. The Housing Market

  23. Current Housing Trends • Tax credit & direct subsidies over • Household creation very slow; generational housing preferences changing • Purchase mortgages much more difficult to obtain – tight underwriting • Renting a more viable option • Appraisals are major issue in purchases • Jumbo home loans and ADC loans difficult • Housing deflationary expectations

  36. Has the Housing Market Bottomed? Answer: maybe, hopefully, probably. But we still may not really know for sure for another several months. • Can the market sustain itself without massive Federal government help •  Foreclosures will stay high. A large number of Option-ARM and prime ARM mortgages reset starting this quarter and going through all next year and into 2011. • The health of the housing market, nationally and locally, depends on a general economic recovery - especially stopping the loss of jobs and preferably adding new jobs. • The housing market may have bottomed out, but will probably have a long, slow recovery – think 5 to 10 years, not just one or two.
