A fiscal operating plan was not requested or completed for FY16. A station's allowance was provided by OFO and funds were obligated to cover all recurring expenses such as utilites and annual maintenance contracts. Funds in excess of recurring expenses and annual maintenance contracts were allocated for other general operating expenses.

The new construction market in the mid 2000’s was flourishing. People saw building a home as an opportunity for a solid investment because prices and rates were so low that certain homes could depreciate extremely slowly. However, there would be a negative effect from all this low-cost new construction and few were aware of just how devastating it would be to the new construction market.

“As the original commerce center of Oregon, Portland is the largest city in the state and home to a diverse population, culture, recreation, and history” (Ash, Jylnne). It ranks 17th in terms of population of metropolitan areas in the United States (Park, Peter ). Portland is known for its character, as well as its environmental consciousness, top breweries, and food carts. In a 2009 Pew Research Center study, Portland ranked as the eighth most popular American city according to where participants would choose to live (For Nearly Half of America). It has become a popular city for millennials as well as those escaping the high cost of living in California. The influx of people has caused home prices in Portland to skyrocket in the last quarter century. Between 1990 and 2000, the median home prices for the area surrounding Portland increased by 114% compared to 46% nationally (Anderson, Susan).

. Tech firms already established in San Francisco, the diversity of the Bay Area’s population has been growing equally remarkable. People, who live and work in metropolitan area relies on several benefits such as economic, cultural, and social. Systematically the density of the population comes to the center housing and business offices can be built nearby the area, which could be closed to employee’s jobs in the urban development area. As a result, the construction cost increases. Mostly, when high-rise buildings replace urban sprawl housings, which are already in place and low-density buildings tend to increase the value of the land skyrockets. Simultaneously, the landowners, investors increase the land value, which leads to increased rental

An investment in office space represented a logical choice for River Triangle at a time in which they sought higher returns than what its typical strategy offered. Since the housing collapse largely had not influenced multifamily housing prices in the greater Pittsburgh area, the crux of Delconte and Colme’s strategy, buying and renovating distressed property, would likely suffer. Pittsburgh’s historically average vacancy rates and the absence of any significant oversupply in the city justified this expectation; multifamily home values in Pittsburgh had little reason to appreciate at a torrid pace after having remained fairly stagnant. “If you picture a line of home values, they just kind of keep going up and up whereas if you look at Vegas or Phoenix, you’d see a bubble in there where home values climbed extremely high and they collapsed again and you don’t have that in Pittsburgh,” remarked Svenja Gudell, the director of economic research for Zillow.

For all of the peace, quiet, seclusion, and cheap office space that suburban America offers, corporations and companies have always clung to the need to have offices within major cities. Of course, they don’t get any more major than Manhattan. The trouble is that real estate costs in areas such as Midtown or the swanky neighborhoods of Chelsea and Soho routinely top out at close to $90 per square foot, and even at those costs, vacancies are virtually unheard of. Yet this saturation of coveted commercial space has led to an ever-increasing trend of more and more companies looking to set up shop in Lower Manhattan. While this may seem to be among the least surprising of real estate trends, the sector that’s driving it is generally farther west

With this thought in mind, Realtor® members across the country were asked, "What do you think the top real estate trends will be in 2017?"

As said plenty of times throughout this semester, you are guaranteed two things in life and that is death and to pay taxes. Yes, taxes, taxes help fund our schools, build/fix roads, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, military/security defense, safety net programs, and of course the interest on our national debt. The federal government must make regular interest payments on all the money borrowed from other countries. Budget deficits, budget surplus, national debt, deficit spending all have pros and cons.

in regard of the timing of the Housing Boom the authors by providing figures and chart explain: ” according to the evidences residential investment moved above its average share (for the 1974–2001 period) in 2002 and rose substantially through the end of 2005, reaching 6¼ percent of GDP late that year—the highest share in a half-century.” (Dokko, Doyle, Kiley, Kim, Sherlund, Sim, & Heuvel, 2009).

Buyers and sellers are fueling the market for single family homes. Some of looking to trade up for more space as families grow, while other professional are simply enjoying the fruits of their labor and looking for a developing investment away from the city. Just 20 minutes from the center of downtown Los Angeles Mount Washington consists of single family homes, estate

In good news to potential buyers, economists expect real estate prices to, after a three-year period of extreme growth, slow down substantially beginning in 2016. For the first time since 2009 the Moody’s/RCA Commercial Property Price Index (CPPI) is dropping “below the long-term average growth rate of 5.8 %.” The CPPI will continue to grow “at very subdued and slowing rates”: 5 percent in 2016 (down from 12.7 percent in 2015), 2.7 percent in 2017, and 3 percent in 2018.

Over the years I 've seen many changes in real estate investing. Currently, I 'm seeing a subtle but oh so ever present transition in real estate investing. It involves a shift in the way folks think about their real estate investment, a movement towards being more dispassionate, a movement away from qualitative and being more focused on the quantitative. Folks historically look at property differently than they do other investments. They look at their rental properties with the same viewpoint that they look at their home, with some pride of possession.
