Examples of Very Good Commercial Real Estate Loans:
 
1106 Main St., LLC (1715 England Dr., Alex, LA 71303) to Red River Bank (1412 Centre Court, Alex., LA 71301) - 1.3827 acres in Sec 37, T5NR3E (1260 Hwy. 115, Deville, LA 71328), $758,933.90. This is long term financing for Dollar General in Deville.

People not Properties:
 
Matt Ritchie was installed last week as President elect for Louisiana Realtors Association for 2013. Who was last LRA President from Central La. Board?
 
Sandy Ray director at Hope House called and ask me not to spring their news prior press conference next week. Often caller will ask me a question where I do not know the answer. No credit given for things I know but cannot tell.
 
HK Stanley and Tom Ryder both very active in our local real estate industry passed away this past week. Tom Ryder was a banker at Red River bank at one time he had his own mortgage company, great guy. HK Stanley is a role model of perseverance, self-starter, and a dreamer. We first met when he optioned land that Sundrop Fuels has under contract at Rapides Station surrounding Cowboy Town for Jena Choctaw future casino 1997.
 
Tip for The Week:
 
Don’t miss quarterly luncheons for CLEDA (Central Louisiana Economic Development Alliance) Jay Moon President and CEO Mississippi Manufacturers Association and Chairman on International Economic Development Council made a great presentation on manufacturing in America and beyond. Some of his bullet points included the following:

1. 40,000 number of plants closed in America between 2000 and 2009
2. 32% of all manufacturing jobs lost between 2002-2009
3. 1941 was the last time USA had fewer than 12 million workers in manufacturing
4. 56 years old is average age of American welder
5. Discussed what he termed as “Onshoring” jobs moving back to America

 
Take away for me is that Union Tank Car, and Sundrop Fuel deals are very rare captures for any community but especially smaller markets.

USA Today Article
 
The housing market's rebound is gaining strength as foreclosure sales slow and more people who are not in financial trouble put their homes on the market. New signs are adding to recent evidence of housing's upward momentum:

• Existing-home sales in August were the strongest since May 2010. They rose 7.8% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.82 million, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday.
• August housing starts, including houses and apartment buildings, rose 2.3% from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 750,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Single-family home starts rose 5.5%, reaching their best annual rate since April 2010. The pace of newly issued building permits fell 1%, down from a four-year high in July.
• Homebuilders are getting ebullient. On Tuesday, the National Association of Home Builders reported that builders' confidence is the highest since 2006. The NAHB's list of 99 improving local markets now includes hard-hit areas such as Jacksonville and Tucson.

Housing prices have fallen so sharply that the ratio of home prices to incomes is now near the average from 1985 to 2000, said Stan Humphries, chief economist at real-estate web site Zillow.com. Factor in interest rates, and house payments are 16% easier for today's average buyer than they were for a decade and a half before the bubble, he said. “Prices have gotten so low, and affordability so high, that buyers have come off the fence,'' Humphries said.
 
Wednesday's data show that the supply of homes added to the market is rising, even as foreclosure sales slow, meaning regular buyers and sellers are gaining confidence, Moody's Analytics economist Celia Chen said. Demand is growing even faster than new supply, putting pressure on prices, she said.
 
The national median existing-home price was $187,400 in August, up 9.5% from a year ago, the Realtors said. The increase was the biggest since January 2006. Stable prices are bringing out buyers who hesitated while values were falling, said Stephen Paul, executive vice president of Mid-Atlantic Builders in Rockville, Md. His summer sales tripled this year, to 15 units from five last year.
 
Low down payment mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration are filling gaps remaining in private financing markets, he said. "We had our best summer in seven years,'' Paul said. "If I'm selling in July and August, when markets are in hibernation, people are looking to buy in a serious way.''
 
The NAHB survey shows builders are more positive about the early 2013 market than they are about conditions now, association president Jerry Howard said. "Confidence and customer traffic -- the precursors to capital spending -- are very good,'' he said. Housing starts will reach almost 1.1 million next year, up from 780,000 this year, enough to boost overall economic growth by 0.8%, Chen said. Barclays economist Michael Gapen said a 1.5 million-unit market would be healthy. "We're about halfway back,'' Gapen said.
