he Media

When the real estate market was booming, it is all we heard about in the media. There were television shows about flipping houses, commercials that showed you how to get rich with real estate and books were published about the glories of owning property. A bubble mentally is hidden well within media hype. It is important to examine the real estate market as a whole and know that real estate prices go up and down. If the media is publicizing real estate, chances are we are in a bubble or approaching one soon.

Homeowners Can No Longer Afford Their Homes

Another way to identify a bubble is if a homeowner can no longer afford to purchase their own home. For example say someone purchased their home 10 years ago at $125,000. Today, they find out their house is worth about $475,000, which is over a 200 percent increase in value. However,  the homeowner’s household income only rose by 30 percent. In essence, the same family that purchased the house 10 years ago would not be even remotely close to affording their house in the current market.

Investors Can’t Find Property

Another sign of a bubble is when investors aren’t able to find properties at prices that offer cash flows. When investors pay $350,000 for large complexes that only generate $25,000 a year in gross rents, it’s not investing, it’s speculating. In this scenario, the rents are not enough to cover the mortgage and expenses. The only reason people pay those prices is with hope that someone will come along and pay a higher price. This is the result of a market where homeowners no longer provide buying support because they are “priced out”. In turn, investors no longer provide buying support because they are also ”priced out”.

When it comes to a real estate bubble and purchasing real estate, the amount of risk you take is your choice. As a result, you should focus on motivated sellers so you can buy extremely low. Focus on buying small multi-unit properties or buy outside of your area where properties offer a positive cash flow.

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 10 /PRNewswire/ — Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. (MRIS), a leading provider of real estate information technology and the largest multiple listing service in the nation, announced that the number of homes sold in the Mid-Atlantic region increased by 7 percent* during the month of May compared to April 2010. MRIS today released its May 2010 Residential Real Estate Market Statistics, a monthly report showing purchase activity and trends by jurisdiction, county and zip code within the Mid-Atlantic region.

Data from the report suggests that a move toward stabilization could be occurring in the residential real estate sector, despite the end of the government tax credit incentive on new home purchases, which ended on April 30, 2010. Average Days on Market (DOM) in May decreased by 6 percent over April, falling from an average of 83 days to an average of 78 days in the region. Average sold price increased nearly 3 percent compared to May 2009, after increasing by 4 percent in April. The majority of homes sold were priced between $200,000 and $350,000** offering three or more bedrooms, a continuation of the trend reported in April.

“MRIS actively monitors and analyzes purchase activity and trends each month to keep real estate professionals (and their customers) updated on the latest meaningful market trends. As the Mid-Atlantic region continues to show selective signs of a slow recovery (even without the tax credit incentive on new home purchases for first-time and upgrading buyers) we are cautiously encouraged that supply has not outpaced demand in the region as a whole,” said John L. Heithaus, chief marketing officer of MRIS.

In the major cities of the MRIS region, as well as in some suburban areas, the report shows varied results compared to May 2009:

Baltimore Area***:

• Total units sold increased by 26%, and increased by 10% over last month
• Average sold price decreased by nearly 3%
• Days on market decreased by 20%

District of Columbia:

• Total dollar volume sold and total units sold both increased by 36%, but only increased slightly over last month
• Average sold price remained static
• Average DOM fell by 36%, from 91 days to 58 days

Shenandoah County, VA:

• Total units sold increased by 147%, and increased 9% over last month
• Average sold price declined by nearly 12%
• Average DOM dropped by more than 18%, from 167 to 136 days

Washington County, MD:

• Total units sold increased by 63%, and increased by 28% over last month
• Average sold price increased by 5%, but increased by 13% over last month
• Average DOM decreased by 5%, from 160 days to 152 days

BUFFALO, N.Y., June 3 /PRNewswire/ — Six Delaware North Companies chefs will head to the White House in Washington, D.C., this Friday to participate in the launch of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Chefs Move to Schools” program.

The first lady and a select group of chefs from around the United States will attend a kickoff event on the south lawn of the White House Friday morning, a call to action to chefs to partner with schools to provide nutritional information and cooking advice to schools, educators, parents and children.

Delaware North chefs are active in their local communities and have established programs and outreach, including urban gardens, cooking demonstrations for school groups and volunteerism with organizations. As an example, the company’s urban garden developed in partnership with the Buffalo area Boys & Girls Club teaches children about food from farm to table.

“It is a great honor and a privilege to attend this important event,” said Henin. “We have had the pleasure of serving President Obama at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and the first family in Yellowstone National Park. Our focus on sustainability, farm-to-table cooking and a focus on nutrition and sports make this a natural fit for us.”

Delaware North Companies Corporate Chef Roland Henin, a rare certified master chef and highly regarded culinary expert and educator, will lead the company’s efforts in the initiative. Accompanying Henin to the White House are:

• Kevin Doherty, a regional executive chef for Delaware North Companies Sportservice at TD Garden in Boston, a Delaware North Companies-owned facility and home of the Boston Celtics and Bruins;
• Percy Whatley, executive chef for Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts at The Ahwahnee, Yosemite National Park’s National Historic Landmark hotel;
• James Major, a regional executive chef for Sportservice at Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians;
• Scott Green, executive chef for Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment at Fairgrounds Gaming & Racing in Hamburg, N.Y.; and
• Ambarish Lulay, executive chef for Sportservice at PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres.

Henin provides consultation and direction on culinary operations for Delaware North’s food service operations in dozens of locations, including hotels and resorts, sports and entertainment venues and airports.

He is also one of the principal members of the Delaware North Culinary and Hospitality Council, which seeks to establish and maintain within the company the highest culinary standards in the industry. Delaware North requires and funds training for its more than 100 chefs to be certified by the American Culinary Federation.

Delaware North’s culinary council will work with the White House “Chefs Move to Schools” program to find appropriate linkages for the company’s chefs with local schools across the country in the next several months.

Chefs Move to Schools is part of the first lady’s Let’s Move! campaign. The goal of Let’s Move! is to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation. The program, to be administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will strive to pair chefs with interested schools in their communities, so together they can create healthy meals that meet the schools’ dietary guidelines and budgets while teaching young people about nutrition and making balanced and healthy choices.

The American Culinary Federation, the National Restaurant Association, the International Corporate Chefs Association, and Share Our Strength, a national organization devoted to combating childhood hunger, will work with chefs participating in the pilot launch this summer. Volunteers will begin working in schools in the fall. Delaware North is affiliated with the American Culinary Federation, the International Corporate Chefs Association and the National Restaurant Association.

“It is exciting to see our members, who comprise nearly 40 percent of all food service sales in the nation, come together in an effort that will help our future generations make healthier choices in our restaurants,” said Kevin Ryan, executive director of the International Corporate Chefs Association. ”Our vision is that the Chefs Move to Schools program will work to promote healthy food choices in homes across the nation just as seat belt campaigns have helped parents to buckle up.”
