How many times has someone predicted that we’ve hit bottom in the housing market? Probably a gizzillon times. But recent data shows that we may indeed be at the end of the housing crisis — and it was ultimately about just letting the market heal itself. An update — More evidence of recovery: Foreclosures were [...]

Here’s a thought-provoking article about how the current student-loan bubble resembles the build up to last decade’s housing bubble — complete with absurdly easy credit, low lending standards, government-backed loans, and large private lenders all too ready to push the risk envelope because they know they won’t be held responsible. More than likely, it probably [...]

You might be saying, “Huh? Don’t root for a housing recovery?” That’d normally be a logical reaction.

Good news: US housing prices were up again in July, indicating a sustained if slow housing recovery. It should help the overall economy too. Boston’s prices, seasonally adjusted, were also up in July, Fyi. And, oh, Atlanta’s market is also showing signs of improvement, though it’s like saying a few hours after a heart attack, [...]

Update – Hold that optimism! One prominent economist says we haven’t seen the bottom yet of the housing market and prices could [...]

What national nightmare? Laverne & Shirley reruns? Boiled spare ribs? What? Wait, it’s the housing slump nightmare that’s now allegedly and unimpeachably over. OK, we can live with that, though the only thing worse than Laverne & Shirley reruns and boiled spare ribs is watching Laverne & Shirley reruns while eating boiled spare ribs. And [...]

Here’s an interesting piece about how sales of homes are picking up in the U.S. while the overall supply is dwindling. It’s pushing up prices, slightly. Of course, there’s probably yet another wave of foreclosures coming out of the old pipeline. But it’s still encouraging news.

Can you guess where they’re talking about? Seaport? Cambridge? Nantucket? Weston? Nope, nope, nope and nope. Hint: It’s farther west. Much farther west. File under: Energetic recovery

The housing market and economy may slowly be recovering. But within banking circles, it’s still a mess, according to this article by Reuters. How best to describe it? Think of a really big hangover, such as from downing a few too many at a cousin’s truly wild wedding, and then not wanting to look at, [...]
