Yes. This was mentioned in the newspapers back when Arnold Schwartzenegger became the governor.
Ответ понял, не понял только одного. Напоминали, скорее всего, с положительной точки зрения или, наооборот, с отрицательной?
В качестве консультации спрошу вот о таком факте:
Metro Detroit home sales up in January, but prices drop by 48.4 percent
Nathan Hurst / The Detroit News
Metro Detroit home sales increased again in January compared with the same month a year earlier, statistics released Thursday show, while property prices continued their years-long declines.
The data released by Realcomp, the Farmington Hills-based multiple listing service, showed a 25.7 percent uptick in sales compared with last January; 4,301 homes sold last month, up from 3,421 a year ago. The biggest gains were seen in Wayne County -- where sales increased 39.6 percent from 1,379 sales last January to 1,925 last month -- and the City of Detroit, where sales inched up 36.8 percent in the past year from 736 sales to 1,007 last month.
Oakland County saw its sales increase 17.3 percent in January to 882 sales last month from 752 recorded in January 2008, while Macomb County sales increased 37.6 percent to 600 homes sold last month from 436 a year earlier.
Only Livingston County reported a drop in sales, down 4.2 percent from 118 sales January 2008 to 113 homes sold last month.
Meanwhile, inventories continued to fall as buyers snapped up bargains. The number of homes on the market declined 21.1 percent last month compared to a year earlier; in total, 53,815 homes were waiting for buyers in January.
Prices continued to decline as well. Overall, the region saw a 48.4 percent decline in the median sale price since last January, slipping to $47,000 from $91,000. A high number of foreclosure sales -- which typically go for lower prices -- helped fuel that decline; the median price of non-foreclosure sales in the region stood at $80,000 last month, compared with an average price of $27,950 for foreclosed properties.
In Detroit, the average price fell to $7,000 last month, down 39.1 percent in a year.
Честно
сперто отсюда.
У меня складывается впечатление, что столица автостроения просто фантом или это журналисты сгущают краски?
По Торонто, к примеру,
ситуация несколько иная.
