Econintersect: Every day our editors collect the most interesting things they find from around the internet and present a summary “reading list” which will include very brief summaries (and sometimes longer ones) of why each item has gotten our attention. Suggestions from readers for “reading list” items are gratefully reviewed, although sometimes space limits the number included.
- Housing Recovery: Illusion or Reality? (Michael Haltman, GEI Discussion Group, LinkedIn) Michael Haltman contributes to GEI. He discusses an article by Michael Sincere at MarketWatch (see next article) which is a review of an article by Keith Jurow. Haltman wants to believe that the U.S. housing market will continue to climb, but he finds that arguments presented by Keith Jurow and discussed by Sincere for a continuing bear market for U.S. housing cannot be dismissed out of hand. Jurow’s article can be read at GEI Analysis: Why the Trade-Up Housing Market Is Gone.
- Opinion: This house market is falling apart (Michael Sincere, MarketWatch) This is the article that caught Michael Haltman’s attention (article above). You can read the article by Keith Jurow that started all the discussion at GEI Analysis: Why the Trade-Up Housing Market Is Gone.
