| Economic Notes: |
| |
- New Residential Construction (C20)
- Housing starts decreased 14.6% to 1.486
million units in October. Housing permits decreased
6.3% during the month.
- NAR Metro Prices
- House prices are falling in the third quarter of
this year. While some metro areas are still seeing
appreciation, nationally, the median existing price is
down by 1.2% on a year-ago basis. The declines are
most evident in the Northeast's metro areas. The
South is holding up the best overall, although Florida
metro area prices are sinking.
- MBA Mortgage Applications Survey
- Mortgage demand decreased 3.7% in the
week ending November 17. Purchase applications
decreased 2.8% and refinance applications
decreased 4.3%.
- Chain Store Sales
- Chain store sales jumped 1.2% in the week
ending November 18, continuing a recent pattern of
erratic growth, according to the ICSC. Year-over-
year growth increased only slightly, to 2.2%, as sales
jumped in the comparable week last year as well.
- Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report
- Underground storage of natural gas
decreased by one billion cubic feet during the week
ending November 17. This was less than the
expected draw of three Bcf from storage. Inventories
are now 7.5% above the five-year average. This
report is likely to reaffirm bearish pressure on
prices.
- Oil and Gas Inventories
- Crude oil inventories soared by 5.1 million
barrels for the week ending November 17, according
to the Energy Information Administration, well above
expectations of a 0.6 million barrel build. A surge in
oil imports by one million barrels was largely
responsible for the surprise build in crude inventories.
Distillate inventories fell by a whopping 1.2 million
barrels, in line with expectations. Gasoline stocks
rose 1.4 million barrels, against expectations of a 0.9
million barrel drop. This is a bearish report, albeit in a
light trading week.

"Problem-solving" is not planning, and
"Planning" is not the same as "problem-
solving"
Effective planning can not be done without
addressing the problems that are critical.
Not all problems deserve attention. Some just
go away.
BONNEVILLE RESEARCH

firm providing economic, financial, market and policy
research to public and private sector clients

My uncles who were road contractors, would
always try to get jobs in Zion, St. George, Las Vegas
or Arizona for the winter. I've never been that lucky
or smart! We currently have assignments in
Arizona and New Mexico, but they are more than
balanced by one in West Yellowstone.
Yes, we do work on a regional basis and if you
have something we can help with in "Sun Country",
Jon or I would love to load up our bicycles and
explore the opportunity.
