Higher-End Housing Hits a Wall

Lastly a repeat of November,
Because when I say "high–end" I'm not talking multi–million dollar homes, I'm talking about homes over $500,000, which are move–up homes. If there's no move–up market, then there can be no real recovery because all the action is taking place in the distressed market, which then artificially pulls down the national home price numbers and scares the rest of the market away.

No move–up market also means those in higher priced homes who need to sell can't, and that could push up delinquencies on jumbo and even higher–priced conforming loans. Think of all the baby boomers who need to get out of big suburban family homes they can no longer afford. Suffice it to say, we need all segments of the housing market pushing forward in order to get the full market back to health.

The sale price for all 9 homes sold in Rhinebeck NY in the month of December 2011 were below $500,000 where these higher priced homes in the Rhinebeck real estate market continue to be the hardest hit.
