Housing Model

--Existing Home Inventory - 4.2 mil, over 10 months supply http://www.data360.org/graph_group.aspx?Graph_Group_Id=852 --US 300 mil populatin, 150 mil labor force, 6.5% current unemployment, it is expected to rise to 8.5%, 2% increase means around 3 mil labor force will be axed. --Homeowership is above 50% http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/hvs/qtr208/q208tab5.html --So 3 mil labor force will probabily bring another 1.5 mil housing units to the market. It will bring house supply to 5.5 mil --Treasury will buy 500 bil, average housing price is around 190,000. So it might help reduce 2.6 mil housing units. --Still nearly 3 mil is left, hgiher than average 2 mil
