What Have We Learned In 2 Millennia? The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC Change one word ROME for USAand the story is the same one. Scary, isn’t it?

The Texas Outlook for 2009 • Economy still strongly tied to energy • Texas job growth 1.5% to 2% IF no major downsizing in energy industry • Texas housing markets generally strong but “spotty” • Fall in overall residential demand: tighter credit, less investment buying, less second home • Significant decline in commercial real estate • Still vulnerable to US conditions, especially in capital markets
Current Residential Finance Conditions • 65% of US owner-occupied homes have a mortgage • 76% fixed-rate • About 12% of all mortgages are subprime loans • 75 percent of all subprime loans originated between 2003 and 2007 • About half of all subprime loans are ARMs • As many as 20% of homeowners have negative equity • Falling home prices is the key factor to defaults and foreclosures and the major contributor to the financial market problems
