Proving
that higher prices aren't always better news, housing in Manhattan may
finally be catching a bid after a nearly yearlong slump in prices has
plunged far enough to finally attract buyers. Additionally, inventory
growth finally looks to be slowing down.
Manhattan home prices were thrashed again in April, falling the most since 2010
- but this time, there may be somewhat of a silver lining. The falling
prices caused buyers to "pounce", resulting in 1,193 homes under
contract during the month - more than any month since April of 2015,
according to data provided by Bloomberg and StreetEasy. Perhaps deflation is not so evil after all.
マンハッタン住宅価格が再び4月に下落した、2010年以来の大きな下落だーーしかし今回は希望の兆しが起きているかもしれない。価格下落で買い手が「殺到」している、結果として4月に1,193戸が契約に至ったーー2015年4月以来の成約数だ、ブルームバーグとStreetEasyのデータによるものだ。デフレも悪いものではない。
StreetEasy's price index fell 5.2% from a year ago to $1.11 million.
The index measures change in resale prices for the same properties over
time. It was the largest decline in the index since April 2010, when the index dropped 6.1%. StreetEasyの価格指数は一年前から5.2%下落し$1.11Mになった。この指数は同一不動産の再度の売り出し価格変化を追跡している。2010年4月以来の大幅下落だ、当時この指数は6.1%下落した。
The newfound bid for homes could be a sign that Manhattan's market
may be emerging from a drought of buyers, who had been previously been
sitting on the sidelines, scared of overpaying for properties. As prices
move toward more realistic buyer expectations, capital has been put to
work.
Grant Long, senior economist at StreetEasy said: “Sellers are finally
getting that many of their price expectations were not realistic.
They’re lowering their prices to a point that’s attractive to buyers.”
StreetEasy の上級エコノミストGrant Longが言うには:「予想価格が現実的でないことに売り手が気づき始めた。買い手の興味を引くまで値を下げ始めた。」
Here are some of StreetEasy's additional findings:
さらにStreetEasyはこういう点を指摘する:
The most homes went into contract since 2015. The
number of pending sales in Manhattan increased 26.6% from last year, up
by more than 250. The number of homes entering contract in Upper
Manhattan doubled year over year, from 66 to 132.
Inventory growth slowed. While sales inventory
growth remained in the double digits at 10.8%, it still moved at the
slowest pace in 13 months. The volume of new inventory hitting the
market shrank by 9.6% over last year.
As sellers priced homes more strategically from the start, fewer made price cuts. The
share of homes with a price cut fell slightly for the first time in 13
months. Some 14.1% of Manhattan homes saw a price decrease in April —
down 0.6 percentage points from last year. The share of price cuts fell
the most in the Upper West Side — down 2.1 percentage points to 14.2%.
年初より売値は戦略的になっており、値下げをする売りてもいる。値下げする住宅の割合はこの13か月で初めて少し減った。4月に値下げしたマンハッタン住宅は14.1%だったーー昨年から0.6%減っている。値下げ割合が減ったのはおもに Upper West Sideだーー2.1ポイント減って14.2%となった。
Luxury home inventory dropped slightly. The number
of homes for sale priced within the top 20% of the market fell by 0.3%,
the first year-over-year decrease in inventory since February 2018.
Recall, in early May, we wrote that inflated and overpriced retail real estate in Manhattan was turning the city into a "wasteland". Later, the Post wrote an article confirming our writeup from late March which pointed out that high prices were driving businesses out of town:
The total number comes to precisely one — a tiny shop to buy drones.
That’s right: On a nine-block stretch of what’s arguably the world’s
most famous avenue, steps south of the bustling Time Warner Center and
the planned new Nordstrom department store, lies a shopping wasteland.
開いている店は一軒だけだーードローン買い取りの小さな店だけだ。まさにそのとおり:この9ブロックは世界で最も有名なとおりだ、Time Warner Centerの賑わいから南へ、そしてNordstormが新規店舗を計画している、これがシャッター街となっている。
It appears that, despite what central bankers think, the only
logical, and natural, response to high prices is, gasp, low prices.
Unfortunately, while the Federal Reserve may be willing to ease back on
US home prices, it has so far refused to do the same to the stock
market. And just like unsustainably high prices resulted in the bursting
of the housing bubble in 2007, so the inability of the market to
deflate to a fair value will be the reason behind the next great bubble
burst.
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...
最後の二段落だけ訳をいれましょう。 Gold-Stock Head Fake? Adam Hamilton January 3, 2020 3174 Words Gold miners’ stocks blasted higher this past week, breaking out of their correction downtrend. Rapidly-improving psychology fueled such strong upside momentum that sector benchmarks are challenging months-old upleg highs. Most traders assume this is righteous, that gold stocks’ next upleg is starting to accelerate. But key indicators argue the contrarian side, that this breakout surge is a head fake within a correction. In early September, a major gold-stock upleg peaked after soaring higher on gold’s decisive bull-market breakout in late June. The GDX VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF, this sector’s leading benchmark and trading vehicle, had powered 76.2% higher over 11.8 months. It crested the same day gold’s own upleg did, hitting $30.95 on close. That ma...
最後の2段落だけ訳を入れておきます。 Silver Miners’ Q3’19 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton November 29, 2019 3726 Words The silver miners are finally enjoying higher prevailing silver prices, a great boon for this sector. Silver surged this past summer after gold’s first new bull-market highs in several years rekindled enthusiasm for precious metals. The long-neglected silver stocks rallied strongly with their metal. Their recently-reported Q3’19 results reveal whether those gains are justified, and how much fundamentals improved on higher silver. Four times a year publicly-traded companies release treasure troves of valuable information in the form of quarterly reports. Required by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, these 10-Qs and 10-Ks contain the best fundamental data available to traders. They dispel all the sentiment distortions inevitably surrounding pr...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
