Economic Notes:
 
Global Business Confidence -17.6%
Sentiment among global businesses remains very poor, but it is slowly improving. Confidence has moved measurably higher since mid-March and is now close to where it was last November. Businesses are notably more upbeat about the outlook toward the end of this year but remain dour regarding weak sales and pricing. The global economy remains mired in recession, according to the survey results, but the recession is becoming less intense.
 
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence           May        54.9
The Conference Board index of consumer confidence surged again in May. The index jumped to 54.9 from April's 40.8 (upwardly revised from 39.2). The expectations component again led the rise, increasing to 72.3 from 51 (previously 49.5). The present situation component rose much more modestly to 28.9 from 25.5 (previously 23.7). Assessments of current labor market conditions improved, but views of future labor market conditions rose more sharply.
 
Existing-Home Sales +2.9%
Sales increased nearly across the nation, although the increase was particularly strong in the Northeast. Sales have been quite volatile in the Northeast this year, however, and April's gain follows a particularly sharp drop in March. Sales picked up modestly in the West and Midwest but declined in the South. On a year-ago basis, the Northeast, Midwest and South are performing similarly, with sales down by about 10%. Bolstered by foreclosures, sales in the West remain very strong compared with one year ago, up by 19%.
 
Existing Home Prices - 15.4%
The decline in the median existing-house price took a turn for the worse. The median existing-house price was down by 15.4% y/y in April compared with the previously reported 12.4% y/y decline in March. The NAR revised the March decline down to 15%. January still stands out as the worst month, with a nearly 18% drop in the median price. The median existing-condo price, declining at a nearly 19% pace, fared worse than the median single-family house price (-15%). The median house price is falling most rapidly in the West (-22% y/y). Prices in the South and Midwest are declining by 13% and 12%. The Northeast is holding up the best, with a decline of 10%.
               
S&P/Case-Shiller� Home Price Indexes      March    -18.7
Existing-house prices fell faster in March than had been expected. The 20-city index declined 18.7% from a year ago during the three months ending in March, unchanged from the rate reported during the three-month period ending in February. The consensus had expected a decline of 18.4%. The 10-city index fell 18.6% over the year, a slightly slower rate of decline than the 18.9% recorded last month.
All 20 metro areas reported year-ago declines in existing-house prices in March. Of these, Phoenix (-36%), Las Vegas (-31.2%) and San Francisco (-30.1%) reported the greatest rates of decline. Denver (-5.5%), Dallas (-5.6%) and Boston (-8%) reported the smallest declines.
Measured from its peak, the 20-city index had fallen 31.4% through March, while the 10-city index was down 32.4%. However, the distribution across metro areas varies widely, ranging from a 53% decline from peak in Phoenix to an 11.1% decline in Dallas.
 
FHFA Purchase-Only House Price Index      -7.3
The FHFA purchase-only price index decreased by 1.1% from February to March, reversing the gains in January and February, which were also revised downward. The index is now 7.3% below its level in March 2008. The largest price decreases were in the Mountain and New England census divisions, with no divisions reporting price gains in March. The March data support the belief that the January and February numbers may have been statistical anomalies caused by more repeat sales in higher-priced markets.
 
MBA Mortgage Delinquency Survey +27%
The National Delinquency Survey released Thursday by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), reported the largest quarter-over-quarter increase in foreclosure starts since it began keeping records in 1972. Lenders initiated foreclosures on 1.37% of all first mortgages during the quarter, a 27% increase from the 1.08% rate during the last three months of 2008 and a 36% rise from the first quarter of 2008. All told, more than 616,000 mortgages were hit with foreclosure actions.
 
MBA Mortgage Applications Survey +1.0%
Refinancing continues to subside, though it is still much higher than in the previous year. The purchase index remains at a very low level.
 
Chain Store Sales +0.8%
Chain store sales rose 0.8% in the week ending May 23, reversing a large part of the prior week's decline. Sales were 0.5% above their year-ago level, matching the result of two weeks prior, which was the best growth since late November. Customer traffic reported improvement across most segments benefiting from favorable weather and Memorial Day purchases.

Millrock Commercial Center - Holladay City, Utah
 
Millrock Park is a 22 acre; 490,000 sq ft master planned commercial office campus located in Holladay Utah.  This Economic Development Project (EDA) used tax increment financing (TIF) to pay for required infrastructure and insured that a difficult site could be developed as a Class A+ office park.  The EDA Benefit Analysis and Project Budget were unanimously approved by the Taxing Entity Committee.  The project is currently ahead of schedule and likely will be "closed-out" five (5) years early.
