폭락하는 집값

 

Good evening. When we hear about a 3-day sales event and slashing prices, that usually means car dealers or appliances 가정용 기구, 전기제품. Well, tonight, it’s about houses. It’s a big well-known builder who needs to move its inventory 재고품. That means cutting home prices upwards of $100,000.

 

They’re trying to sell a thousand homes this weekend because no one’s buying. They have many more than that. And everyone’s trying to figure out when rock bottom 맨 밑바닥 has arrived and what has become a genuine crisis 진짜 위기 in this country. Diana Ollick is the housing expert at CNBC.

Good evening, Brian. Call it a fire sale 특매, but don’t call it a going out of business 폐업하는 sale. The nation’s home builders are doing everything in their power to stay afloat 빚지지 않는 상태로 견디다. Khovnanian calls it the deal of the century. Slashing prices on its properties in 18 states by up to $100,000. “Right now, really there’s no excuse not to buy it.”

 

But others call it desperate measures by a major US builder whose stock value has dropped 75% just this year. “It is very much a short-term fix and they’ll face the same issues all over again in the next quarter.” They were driven to these extremes by falling sales and prices across new and existing homes. One forecast predicts prices in the nation’s largest markets will fall 3.2% from last year, the steepest decline in 20 years.

 

Prices are falling fastest in the areas that led the boom, in California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada. And where local economies are in trouble like Michigan and Ohio. “The problem is, we have seven states, some of them are very large states that are having problems and as a result they’re driving the national numbers.”
