John Bonadelle, Bonadelle Homes - seeing a larger family home and lower rates are allowing them to purchase larger home. He's having a hard time with land available to build. Permitting still take a month or more and sometimes longer.
Unrealistic land prices are causing issues with building. Cities are not widening their boundaries causing the dirt to increase in price.
Sanger and Madera growth occurring as a result of Fresno;'s non expansion. Lack of skilled labor is slowing production and causing people to move out of the industry which is causing a slow down in production.
Builders are going to have to expand to new markets to survive. Competition is going to be vicious. Southwest Fresno will be noticed now. Products and lots will become smaller due to the economic growth and the lack of affordable land and space.
Rob Melfe, Appraisal Manager, Rabobank
The median price range has to be compiled by a lot of information rather than one segment. The most popular method of tracking is the median price.
There is NOT one price fits all. The median value when used to measure trending is a mathematical distortion.
The median price is a statistical point which fails to work in the analysis of any one price tier analysis of properties, much less an individual property.
1004 MC - worst form created! Used as the precipitous of the appraisal.
A median price is nothing more than a line bisecting the total of all sales prices, one half above and one half below. It NEVER represents the price movement of Any One Property.
John Shore, Community Housing Council -
Subprime ruined the market and HUD did not raise their loan limits at the time when the market was moving fast. Congress could not enact quick enough to keep up with the market.
