The economic outlook for real estate is never just black and white – you’ve got to look at the encour-aging signs and various forms of data if you want a
realistic picture.Despite these challenging economic times, existing home
sales will be rising. Why? � e answer, in a word: a� ord-ability. Currently, the two most important factors driving home sales are: AFFORDABILITY and INTEREST RATES!
With home prices stabilizing in many parts of the country and mortgage rates still near historic lows, a� ordability conditions have markedly improved.
Even with the current unemployment rate, nearly 92 percent of households will have jobs.
� ese 92 percent of the working households (rather than 97 percent during the BOOM economic times) respond to home-buying incen-tives. I say this because we have history as a lesson.
Back in the prior recession (2001-2003) the economy shed nearly 2 million net jobs. Even during those years, existing-home sales rose from 5.2 million to 6.2 million just as jobs were being cut.
New home sales, likewise rose from 900,000 to 1.1 mil-lion. Mortgage rates were falling. Housing a� ordability increased. While those 2 million job cuts were painful, the
economy still had 130 million job holders, and given the right incentives, they purchased homes.
Measures such as the recently expired � rst-time home-buyer tax credit and a larger number of mortgage loans that qualify for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and through the FHA program have further brought home
buyers to the marketplace.Purchase applications using FHA-insured
mortgages – the hottest game in town – were up by 15.2 percent! Part of the reason for the ap-plication jump: Mortgage rates continue to hover just half a point over 40-year lows.
Last week saw the year � nish on a high note for the housing market with Pending Home Sales for November coming in UP 3.5 percent, a� er this � gure was expected to be down slightly for the month. � is reading measures homes under con-tract, and therefore should point to an increase in closings in the January-February time frame.
In addition, Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Index for December cited 4 of the major 20 national cities showed annual price GAINS and the index is still above its spring 2009 low. In addition, the Case-Shiller 10-City Index
showed a year-over-year price gain.It’s important to remember that real estate is local!
FORBES Magazine recently stated employers are more optimistic about hiring in the � rst quarter of 2011 than at
any time in more than two years.Overall nine percent more of them expect to be adding
sta� than expect to be reducing it. Some cities have an exceptionally positive outlook. So how does our local area rank?

ment relations at the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce.According to FORBES, the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area is
the second-most optimistic metropolitan area in the country, with a 15 percent net employment outlook!
� e Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce issued its own jobs sector survey; 1,200 employers were polled, and the results were upbeat. Fi� y-six percent of King County employers an-ticipated that business would be better in 2011, and 41 percent expected to hire more.
If you’ve been waiting to get closer to warmer weather before beginning the search to buy your � rst home, you may want to start now with a game plan. � e traditionally busy spring real estate season is just around the corner, meaning competition looms, even in a market like we have today. � ere are things you can do as a potential homebuyer to get a head start.
So with that in mind, the competition to buy may be tougher than the average buyer thinks. It’s already gaining momentum in some neighborhoods.
� ere are some things you can do to improve your chances of landing in a home, including:
• Get a copy of your credit report. Potential lenders will view your credit history - how much debt you’ve accrued, how many accounts you have open, whether your payments are made on time, etc. - to determine whether they’ll give you a loan. Make sure they’re accurate and clear up any problems before you ap-ply for a loan or make an o� er on a house.
• Determine how much you can aff ord. Look at how much you can a� ord given your other bills, expenses, and long and short-term savings goals, including retirement, college for the kids, vacations, etc.
• Figure out how much you have for a down payment. NAR says � rst-time buyers typically make a down payment of 5-10 pecent on a home purchase, and 24 percent of down pay-ment funds were gi� s from relatives or friends. If that’s not an
option, there are many FHA loan programs that accept 3.5–5 oercent down payments.
• Research on the Internet. Look at the Multiple Listing Service to � nd houses you like in neighborhoods you’re eyeing. � is will also give you an idea of how much sellers are asking for listed homes.
• Start interviewing full-time, trusted and professional Realtors so you’ll have a skilled one when the time comes to start looking. Get referrals and select someone who knows your market and the neighborhoods you prefer. A Real Estate Professional will consult, negotiate, and oversee the hundreds of transactional details. You will want a Realtor that will be working in YOUR best interests.
• Pin down the basics, specifi cally the neighborhoods you like that will accommodate your family’s needs, including commute to work, schools, recreation, shopping, and, most importantly, are in a price range you can a� ord.
• Have an open mind. It’s easy to start looking at houses and get discouraged because you don’t see anything that matches your vision of the perfect house. Be OPEN to a home’s poten-tial. Remember carpet and � ooring can be replaced, walls can be painted, and a dreadful kitchen can be updated.
In conclusion, with national experts already predicting sales to rise because of a� ordability, continued low interest rates, pent-up demand and a signi� cant national increase in eco-nomic security (compared to the last few years) – this IS good news for potential home buyers and great news for the stability of our local and national economy.

[ SPRING from page 9] Owning A Home Can Pay Dividends(NAPSI)-� ere are many good reasons to become a
homeowner. In addition to the social bene� ts, the feel-ing of autonomy and sense of community investment, there are the tax bene� ts. One major tax bene� t is the mortgage interest deduction (MID). Th e MID has been part of the federal tax code since 1913 and helps families o� set the cost of homeownership.
� e ability to deduct the interest paid on a mortgage can translate into signi� cant savings come tax time. For example, a family who bought a home this year with a $200,000, 30-year, � xed-rate mortgage, assuming an interest rate of 4.5 percent, could save nearly $3,500 in federal taxes when they � le next year.
“In today’s market, eight out of 10 home buyers must borrow money to buy a home,” said National Associa-tion of Realtors® chief economist, Lawrence Yun. “For aspiring homeowners who don’t have hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in savings to buy a home outright, tax bene� ts like the mortgage interest deduction help them begin building their future through homeownership.”
Of the taxpayers who itemize deductions, 80 percent utilize this bene� t. � is is true for people of all income levels. According to the most recent IRS tax return data available, 65 percent of the families who claim this deduction earn less than $100,000 per year.
“People who benefi t most from the MID are fi rst-time home buyers and younger homeowners,” said Yun. “� ese families can use the money they save to build their emergency fund, apply it toward their children’s future education or help them improve the quality of their lives right now. � at’s just one of the ways owning a home can pay dividends.”

Insider trading can be a tell-tale sign of what is going on within a
company.Every October,
legends are cre-ated under the bright lights and intense pressures of the baseball diamond. What allows some hitters to thrive under pressure when others crumble? There are many very, very good hitters, but what separates the best from the very good?
The fundamentals are a given: good hand-eye coordination, practice in the batting cage, and studying your opponent. All hitters do or possess these things, and some just have a natural gift when it comes to physi-ology. But, some hitters take it a step further.
Some are such students
of the game that they can predict with reasonable accuracy what pitch is coming next based on
how the pitcher is gripping the ball, what the point of release is, and any other number of tiny man-nerisms. They recognize these “tells” and, in doing so, are able
to increase their odds of success dramatically.
These “tells” can be viewed as a parallel to an important step in investing - monitoring legal insider trading. Monitoring doesn’t do it justice though – you can monitor all day long, but if you don’t know what to look for, you will remain lost both at the plate and in the market.
So, how can investors not only observe but learn to spot the tells?
First, you have to under-stand that the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion requires all insiders to disclose their stock transactions. Tracking insiders and being able to weigh the impact of their past movements has served as a leading indicator of the market. This information is pub-licly available, but you must have a system that differentiates between the routine transactions and the tells.
Corporate insid-ers buy and sell stock for a variety of reasons. The trading oppor-tunity lies in being able to determine which actions have and will lead to profitable trades. An insider selling stock through options grants that have a significant percentage not vested, can be a sign that they
either do not believe in the company, the stock is overpriced, or the executive doesn’t plan on staying. If someone with more information than the market and the ability to earn a significant sum of money through stock or options is not willing to put their capital at risk in the stock, I certainly would be hesitant to con-sider that stock as part of my allocation.
Investors should do their homework,
have a plan when they step into the batter’s box, and know how to give
themselves every legal advantage.
The insider tell that’s most important to me is a large buy by a cluster of a company’s execu-tives. These cluster buys, particularly at the C-level (CEO, CFO, etc.), historically have been
highly predictive of a rise in a company’s stock price. When an executive at a company makes a large dollar purchase or
dramatically increases his holdings on a percentage basis, they are really tell-ing the market that they see value in their own company and are willing to show it by investing their own disposable as-sets in the company for whom they work.
On the other hand, an insider might be selling for a variety of reasons. They may be paying for a large purchase, such as a house or college tuition. They may be prudently diversifying their financial portfolio. But, at the end of the day, a corporate insider buys his own company’s stock because he believes it will be trading higher at some point. If he and his fellow executives are selling, I’d be asking questions.
