The stimulus tax credit expired in April of 2010. There was a sharp drop in the number of sales at that time but the number of
sales has been rising (with monthly fluctuation) since June of 2010 without government intervention. Forecasts are for the
number of sales to continue to increase as the economy improves.

11. US Housing Starts www.RichmondHousingToday.com
Source: NAR
Housing starts measure the number of newly constructed homes. The U.S. Population grows by approximately 3 million per
year (though it is estimated to have slowed to 2 million in 2011). Based on population growth and the need to replace some of
the demolished housing units, most economists believe about 1.5 million housing units need to be built each year, which also
happens to be the historical average (shown with the green line).
In recent years, new home construction has been well below the norm contributing to more job losses in the construction
industry. Multifamily units are primarily for rentals and this sector is experiencing a recovery due to rising rents.
Housing starts have risen by 20% so far this year. Falling inventory means that builders need to ramp up production. But many
smaller builders cannot obtain construction loans. Housing starts are forecast to rise 25% in 2012 and by 50% in 2013.

The supply of houses is determined by the number of active listings divided by the monthly sales rate for the past year.
After 2+ years of inventory between 8 and 10 months, inventory began to drop in the later months of 2011 and has
continued to drop in 2012. We are following a nationwide trend of declining inventory. In May 2010, there were 7455
houses listed for sale in Greater Richmond and now there are 4468. A normal market is 5-6 months of inventory.

The inventory of houses is lowest at the lower price points. As lower priced houses sell, the Sellers will move up
to higher priced houses and the inventory of higher priced houses should start going down. There are clearly still
challenges for Sellers at the higher price points. However, the number of sales at the higher price points is
increasing.

In the condominium market, price per square foot is
increasing in the higher price points.
In the single family market, prices were dropping in
Greater Richmond through the early spring of 2012
but have been rising since then. So the decreases
seen in price per square foot on this graph should be
followed by increases in a few months. Note the
increase at the highest price point.
