Pike Research, a market research and consulting firm whose focus is on clean technology recently released a new report focusing on Energy Efficient Homes. The report estimates that between now and 2014, homeowners will begin increasing their spending on energy efficient improvements. By 2014, it is expected to increase to $50.2 billion.
Until now, homeowners have been reluctant to invest in energy efficient upgrades. This reluctance has been in part due to the high cost associated with these upgrades. However, as the costs for energy efficient materials and systems have begun to decrease in recent years, so has homeowners interest in such improvement. This combined with tax incentives and an increase in consumer education regarding the long term savings will be the catalyst for this expected increase in consumer spending towards energy efficiency.
This expected demand for energy efficient homes has already led some homebuilders to begin offering some energy efficient upgrades and systems to homeowners as well as providing estimates on monthly energy costs. This new approach allows buyers who are energy-conscious a new way to compare home prices.

According to preliminary data from Costar, there have been a growing number of investors who have been purchasing property in the U.S. hotel and hospitality sectors.
Being luxury expenditures for most consumers, the Hotel and Hospitality was among the worst hit segments of the commercial market during our recession. As a result, the majority of buyers jumping into these types of acquisitions are finding it easy to find distressed assets in core locations at extremely discounted prices.
In addition to low prices, the Hotel and Hospitality industry has also begun to see a steady increase in occupancy gains. This increase in occupancy has translated into a growth in the average expected revenue per room.
According to the recent Hotel Investors’ Gauge by Smith Travel Research Analytics and www.HotelNewsNow.com, 81% of investors surveyed are actively pursuing acquisitions. In addition, over 50% of those surveyed believes that occupancy rates will return to peak levels by 2012.

According to a survey performed by Bankrate, we have seen a significant increase to closing costs associated with mortgage originations. On a nationwide average, closing costs have increase 8.8% over the last year. This increase has primarily been attributed to the increased work lenders have to perform in order to approve a mortgage application under the ever tightening lending regulations.
