Appreciation Quotes
Mortgage interest rates were at the highest level since the third quarter of 2003.

Certainly Quotes

-
Clear Quotes
No doubt these numbers will be taken by the market as a clear sign of a softening housing market and, by implication, an indication that higher interest rates are biting. We are much more skeptical: housing starts lag home sales, which have been depressed in recent months more by lack of inventory than by higher interest rates.

Analyst Quotes

Achieved Quotes
Capitalization rate is merely one indicator of real estate value.

Bubble conditions may not be present yet but are approaching such and thus require close monitoring going forward. To allay this concern, housing price increases will need to start to moderate soon from recent sharp increases. Our expectation is that this should occur, since rising mortgage rates should slow the growth in housing prices to a rate below gains in income.

Add Quotes
Because we do relatively small volumes of many different products, if we're not careful, inventory can gobble up our cash. We used to have huge growth rates of our inventories as business grew.
