Prices of U.S. single-family relaxing

El precio de las viviendas unifamiliares en Estados Unidos registró en junio un aumento intermensual -respecto a mayo- del 0,9%, según ha informado Standard & Poor's. Un tibio incremento que apunta a una ligera ralentización dentro de la recuperación del sector.

El indicador Case-Shiller, que elabora esa firma para estudiar la evolución de los precios de la vivienda, subió en junio un 12,1% en las principales 20 áreas metropolitanas del país respecto al mismo mes de 2012, frente al 12,2% de mayo -la mayor escalada desde marzo de 2006-.

Las cifras indican a que "los precios de la vivienda están subiendo, pero pueden estar moderándose". "14 de las 20 ciudades vieron las cifras debilitarse entre mayo y junio", señala el informe. Aún así, en los 20 mercados los precios subieron tanto a ritmo mensual como interanual.

Por otro lado, en las 10 mayores ciudades del país, los precios subieron un 2,2% respecto al mes anterior y un 11,9% sobre junio de 2012.

Por ejemplo, el precio de la vivienda se ha recuperado en San Francisco un 47% desde su punto más bajo en marzo de 2009, mientras que en Phoenix ha subido un 37,1% desde septiembre de 2011.

Los precios de la vivienda a nivel nacional aumentaron más de un 10% a nivel interanual en los últimos dos trimestres. "Sin embargo, los datos mensuales por ciudades apuntan a que el ritmo de incremento se puede estar ralentizando", señala en el informe David Blitzer, presidente del Comité de Índices de S&P.

Con estos datos, los valores de la vivienda vuelven al nivel de la primavera de 2004, pero todavía están un 23% más bajo que en el momento en que tocaron sus máximos, en junio y julio de 2006.

Real Estate Sector is strengthened and consumer confidence falls in U.S.

While consumer confidence has followed a volatile path along the year, the real estate sector not done anything but give good news in U.S. This time, the housing prices of the 20 largest cities in September experienced its largest year increase since February 2006 , while building permits rose in October to its highest level since June 2008.

The S & P / Case- Shiller index of property values ​​, rose 13.3% in the ninth month of the year compared to the same period in 2012 , exceeding the 12.8% increase in August and 13% pointing to the polls. Meanwhile , applications for new construction rose 6.2 % last month to an annualized rate of 1.03 million , also exceeding estimates .

"Housing will continue to contribute to growth," said Brian Jones , an economist at Societe Generale , explaining that while the industry was faced with a rise in the interest rate , this increase was not " meshing enough to drown " that market.

Volatile confidence

In counterpart, consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in November to a seven-month low . The Conference Board index gave up 70.4 points from 72.4 the previous month, falling short of forecasts for a rise to 72.6 integers.

According to Jacob Oubina , an economist at RBC Capital Markets , the decline is because " the labor market remains a major challenge", which generated doubts in people 's uncertainty in fiscal policy added .

Mirages U.S. growth

Optimism has recently intensified in the United States for economic growth , which would be on a trajectory of 3% with euphoric U.S. indices ( +29.6 % for the S & P 500 to 2013) , the unemployment rate the lowest ( 6.6 % ) , a real estate market surge and consumption ( +2.7 % at year-end ), which also seems to rise again . Marketing more effective unfortunately shatters as soon as you look at the numbers a little more closely.

6% of GDP is injected by the Fed
On economic growth, we have seen over the last 5 years to forecast a return to growth without it manifests itself in a sustainable manner , including regular high quarterly estimates but are often a few months after revised significantly down (in the most total indifference ) . It is astonishing to see how the quarterly preliminary estimates are annualized automatically , as if the subsequent quarters were by who knows what miracle follow the same trajectory.

Growth in 2013 will probably be around 1.9 %, which may seem significant compared to Europe for example, but that is just ridiculous when one takes into account the fact that the Fed has injected $ 1 trillion into the financial system for the single year 2013 ( more than 3 trillion since 2008) that is equivalent to 6 % of GDP ...

Low rebound in consumption
U.S. economic growth is at 70 % on consumption. It is further necessary that consumers see their incomes increase , or the median wage fell by 8% since 2008. The rebound in consumption observed at the end of the year means one thing : Americans have tapped into their savings yet already low ( just over 2% savings rate ) . And this is only average, half of households do not even have a savings account and 76% could not cope with an emergency situation ( unforeseen health care expenses , loss of employment for 3 -6 months ... ) .

To overcome this lack of income , Americans have resorted again to credit, including credit cards and student loans , which alone account for 1.3 trillion dollars (more than half are either in arrears or by default). Some articles in the financial press have these same statistics as a return of confidence among households ( the last time we saw such an increase was ... 2008). In fact, a return of confidence would require a real decline in unemployment.

A truncated unemployment
However, the unemployment rate of 6.6 % does not take into account discouraged people who fall more or those underemployed (part -time work , for example) . If we include these people, the unemployment rate then increases to 12.7 % ( U6 statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics ) is almost double the official rate. In total, 27 million are non- or underemployed , 11 million receive allocations of " disability" and 50 million are in the food stamps ( food stamps ) . It is estimated that, on average , 4 out of 5 people will be affected in their life of poverty.

Moreover , the jobs created are not only not enough to absorb the increase in the labor force but also highly concentrated on low value-added jobs in services ( fast food ... ) while at the same time, companies continue to cut jobs executives or technicians to significantly higher wages led to a further decline in demand .

Riches do not profit in boosting consumption
Indeed, during the crisis, companies saw their sales decline wanted at all costs to maintain their results and for this greatly reduced their numbers and also took the opportunity to redeem their shares in order to improve ( totally artificial way ) profits per share. In addition, the investment rate has not really off again except during periods of temporary restocking but do not announce movements magnitude . In all cases , listed companies are smiling with indices spraying the last records dating from 1997.

All this would not have been possible without the ultra accommodative Fed policy (zero rates and QE ) which causes inflation without common measurement of assets , whether the shares ( with a price earnings ratio ( Shiller ) high of 25.5 for the S & P 500 against a median of 16.5) , real estate (+10 % yoy ) or raw materials ( barrel of crude to more than $ 100 ), while the fundamentals of the economy are not good . The EDF welcomes the rising markets or real estate which should improve consumer confidence (the famous wealth effect). Must not forget that 53% of Americans do not hold any shares and that most of them are held by a minority with large financial assets ( but not able to stimulate consumption ) .

Similarly , increasing the value of the property benefits only a small proportion of households owning their homes in specific regions (eg New York , Miami and California ) . Many homeowners are still in " negative equity " (ready to pay more than the value of the property ) and above , this increase is dramatic for younger generations who face lower wages and leave university with debts tens of thousands of dollars making any real estate purchase completely out of their reach .

A paralyzed Congress
Finally, an assessment of the economic health of the United States would not be complete without an examination of the action of the State. Now Congress is paralyzed for the past 5 years, with threats of shutdown organized by Republicans who strongly impact the confidence and economic recovery. No major economic reform has been implemented , no rethinking of the very complex (and sometimes anti economic ) U.S. tax , no drastic improvement of the health system ( too expensive and not very effective , at the 46th largest in the world ) , or secondary school system (31st in mathematics in the last ranking PISA) . Instead, the vote of extremely complex regulations only adds costs for companies without being effective ( Dodd Frank ... ) .

Finally, the huge public debt continues to increase with a current level ( including the federal government , individual states , cities and off balance sheet) representing 160 % of GDP, which hampers all the more imperative for infrastructure renewal face competition from many Asian countries including ( China and South Korea for example).

Assets remaining
All this is a pity that the country retains many strengths. The ability of U.S. to initiate and innovate gives them an advantage with integrated highly productive ecosystems such as Silicon Valley . Most international brands are American and the economic environment is still competitive (5th place). In addition, the university system ( in contrast secondary ) still represents excellence through Harvard , Yale or MIT.

In addition, the United States are taking full advantage of the hydraulic fragmentation at the extraction of gas and oil which ensures lower energy costs and thus renewed competitiveness. Finally, the dollar remains the international currency and the United States have never hesitated to use this weapon at the expense of its commercial.

Real Estate of Florida - the Sunshine State

Florida real estate is definitely worth a look if sun and fun is your ticket . Florida real estate , even close to the beach , is a very good deal .

Florida

Florida is a well-known haven for people living through winter storms , in the northeast. Sun and warm water is obviously an attraction , but there is much more to Florida . Orlando appears to be a giant theme park with Disney World, while Miami offers adult entertainment distinct variety with a legendary nightlife . Throw in the Florida Keys, tons of college and professional sports teams , the Kennedy Space Center and you have a state with a lot to do besides loaf on the beach . Then again , loafing on the beach should never be ridiculed !

Miami

Miami is a city that really needs no introduction . With influences of Cuba , the city is an explosion of styles , colors and fun -loving people . Palm trees are plentiful , such as beaches , bars , outdoor cafes and walking streets . When you need a break from the beach , Miami hosts professional sports teams in baseball , basketball , hockey and soccer . The real key for the region , however , is simply the festive atmosphere and people . Almost half the population is Hispanic with a heavy influence appearing throughout the city . Every day is a party in Miami.

Orlando

If Orlando is not the capital of theme parks , I am sorry for the position is . Orlando is home to no less than the world of Disney, Universal Studios and Sea world . In fact , the theme parks are located on the edge of town, which makes Orlando proper a bit bland . Humidity can be a bit of a bear in the summer, but winter is incredibly nice.

Tampa

Tampa is an underrated city in my opinion . The chief criticisms seem to be too modern and a little boring . In fact , it is exactly the opposite. Tampa has a funky cultural feel, particularly in Ympor city where different cultures clash in free wheeling fun and you can get a Cuban cigar hand rolled by a Cuban artist . Museums, galleries and theme parks abound . The beaches of Clearwater are white , clean and a good place to roast in the sun .

Florida real estate

Florida real estate is very reasonably priced considering many of them are so close to the ocean or a lake . The average home price in Orlando will run you a little over $ 300,000 , about the same amount as Tampa . In Miami , prices vary depending on the part of the city you are looking at , but you can expect price ranges from $ 250000 $ 800000 .

If you want to get in on Florida real estate , now may be an ideal time . For 2005 , property in Florida is estimated at nearly 25 percent!

They extend the Aventura Mall with more upscale

One of the largest and most prosperous commercial centers in the nation , is about to get bigger . The Aventura Mall soon will demolish its current fast food area to build a new three-story wing , with shops and a parking seven levels high.

Turnberry Associates, the company that owns and manages the mall received approval by the Commission of the City of Aventura, earlier this month. The company expects to begin construction at the end of the year. Plans to move the fast food area have not yet been specified , a spokesman for the shopping center said.

Expansion and 241,000 square feet will be built where the current is fast food area near the JCPenney store. Parking could include up to 1,400 jobs .

Aventura mall is already the largest shopping mall in Florida and one of the largest in the country, with a floor area of ​​2.7 million square feet. That makes it the 16th largest , according to the Centers Directory of the United States , according to other measurements , is the third largest . It is also one of the top five highest income in the country, in terms of sales per square foot, according to Turnberry .

Adventure owners said they have not signed a lease for the new space. But buyers can expect to see more luxury brands, a segment that the mall has pursued in recent years.

"The continued resurgence of the real estate industry in Florida, and the growth of tourism has led to significant increases in the number of buyers , specifically in the Aventura Mall ," said the mall owners through a statement sent email . "We had a tremendous demand from retailers and simply do not have enough space to meet their needs."

Currently , the mall houses 300 retail stores , including Bloomingdale's , Nordstrom and Macy's , according to Turnberry Associates. Other retail stores include Louis Vuitton , Cartier and Bluberry . The mall also has several restaurants and a 24-screen AMC cinema and IMAX .

It's amazing to see how South Florida is evolving into one of the main destinations of fashion , "said Jackie Soffer , one of the directives of Turnberry Associates. "We are very excited about the continued transformation of Aventura Mall, which will provide an enhanced shopping experience for our local and international visitors."

The rise in online shopping has put pressure on traditional stores that have experienced a decline in customer traffic . But the malls have responded by focusing on the experience in the store, said John Fleming, a spokesman for the Florida Retail Federation . Many events have increased and remodeled facilities .

" Shopping is an experience that many people appreciate ," said Fleming . " It's just not the same as searching the Web from your chair, walk and lunch and [ do] all things that people love to buy in the stores."

EL Aventura Mall specifically benefits from being in the category of "destination malls " which attracts both residents of Miami- Dade and Broward as well as tourists. To meet the needs of these shoppers , the mall will create a closed conveyor system for buses in the street level of the new parking lot .

" Bus stops are currently five to six around the mall and are not as convenient for some people ," said Manager Eric Soroka Aventura Mall. "It's not ideal when it comes to having pedestrian and vehicle traffic situation together . This will allow all traffic from buses go to one place , which will be safer and [ will make it ] more convenient for people to use public transport to get to come to the mall . "

The city is currently evaluating a study on the impact on traffic , delivered by Turnberry, said Joanne Carr, the director of community development in Aventura.

Jorge Perez learns from his mistakes

On a recent sunny afternoon, Jorge Pérez plunged a shovel into the ground and threw a ceremonial lump.

"We are changing Miami ," Perez said at the inauguration of the construction of the SLS Brickell , a project with about 450 condominium units and 133 hotel rooms. "I feel very proud that we are adding this to the skyline ."

The following week , Perez celebrated the opening of MyBrickell , a smaller building that represents the first high-rise condominium in downtown Miami since the collapse of the real estate market that almost decimated Related Group of Florida, of which he is president and chief executive .

"When you end a job and does what it is supposed to make you do , it's a wonderful feeling ," said the developer , almost jumping for joy as he went from one group to another , wearing a green suit and an orange tie that matched the cheerful decor of the building.

With over $ 1,000 million in losses behind them - and having learned costly lessons - Pérez and his company have entered a new cycle and , as usual, the "King of the condo ," 64, is not living charge.

"I do not know if I still do well, but I think I'm getting better at distributing responsibilities among others and letting them take charge , and not doing much micromanagement as he did before," he said. "Before, I made ​​all the decisions , in every detail. I went to all the projects every week. Now I depend more from others, and I want to. "

The economic crisis - a blow personally and professionally - and a major health problem with Perez and Related razed in 2009 , leading him to consider how his company worked, and their personal priorities and final legacy.

In the years that followed, the art collector donated $ 40 million in cash and artworks to the Museum of Art Miami, which now bears his name publicly pledged to donate half of his fortune to charity ; restructured its company to rely less condominium high profits but equal risks, and remained largely disconnected during a vacation that lasted a month. The tumor they had discovered on his pancreas was found to be benign , and , after recovering from the operation that caused him to extirpárselo Perez has returned to an active tennis calendar and other exercises five or six times a week (and , he admits, overeating occasionally ) .

" I think a lot more in terms of legacy , to give more, in philanthropy , in my family and my friends, spend more enjoyable time doing things other than work," said Perez, " and that has changed me ."

Still confident that their contributions to the profile of Miami have been transformative . Some observers have noted that the change was not always for the better , especially when the company attracted speculators who fueled the buying frenzy that preceded condos Miami real estate collapse in 2008.

"I think that during the last boom , Mr. Perez and the Related Group inflated market excess and were definitely partly responsible for overbuilding and the collapse in South Florida," said Jack McCabe , CEO of McCabe Research & Consulting , an independent housing analyst based in Deerfield Beach has not worked with Related . "Having said that , I would also say that Mr. Perez is a very intelligent man . I think he learned his lesson in the past decade . "

However, the impact of recent years has not been erased . Although Perez has returned to the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans, which it took the crisis in 2013 he had the number 350 with an estimated $ 1.550 net worth millions admits that neither he nor his company are so wealthy as they once were .

"It's hard to lose the amount of money we lost and retrieve it in a couple of years," he said. " But are we well off and well on solid financial sense ? The answer is yes . "

Born in Argentina of Cuban parents , Perez said that growing up in a family of exiles showed that everything can be lost in an instant. Especially now , he said, he did not take anything for granted .

" My wife and I pinched us all day to ourselves because we are very fortunate," he said of his second marriage, to Darlene Perez. " A wonderful children and a wonderful marriage , and so lucky ... We like to give , we like good restaurants , we are just lucky ."

The decision to donate part of his personal collection of art ( as well as $ 20 million in cash ) to the institution that is now the Pérez Art Museum of Miami has given a new leak to passions that otherwise would have been devoted to business .

But , despite the dedication of his head to the museum 's top executives say Perez still sometimes receive emails from him at 4 am

Since , a lot has changed in Related, whose profits rose 50 percent in 2013 to $ 1.500 billion from the last cycle.

While the company is currently valued at $ 8.850 million , was 20 condominium projects with over 7,000 units under construction during the boom of 2004-2008 - and no rental apartment building - now the company's businesses are better distributed . Of the 29 projects under construction right now , 12 are condos , 10 are affordable housing seven are multifamily rental . That represents 3,050 condo units , 1,485 affordable housing and more than 2,250 rental units.

"I think it is key to learn from your mistakes," said Mathew Allen , executive vice president and general manager of Related Group . "The key is diversification. All are well placed if the condo market slows or stops , we still have money in the other divisions and I think that is important to the future success of Related " .

Peter Zalewski , director of real estate consultancy Condo Vultures and Bussiness Magazine columnist for The Miami Herald Monday , said the company this time seems to be " much less rigid , more mobility."

But Zalewski noted that the new massive project , One Brickell, has three towers in front of Icon Brickell . That $ 1,000 million project comes to symbolize Related problems after speculators withdrew their contracts and two of the three towers will be returned to the lenders.

"It's interesting that they have a second chance on what was probably the most successful project without more recent boom ," Zalewski said. "He's coming back and no wonder . Were all in terms of memory loss ? He could try to do the right thing at this time . "
