How many percent of Carpenters, masonries, builders are UNLINCENSE AND ILLEGAL DAY LABORERS/IMMIGRANTS hired by well-known Homebuilders in New Jersey ??????



Immigration reform could kill the housing boom
Up to 40% of home building is done by undocumented aliens. But no one's talking about what a crackdown could do to real estate prices.

"how long until realtors start screaming panic to get sellers to close sales?"

It'll never happen.

Is an "undocumented alien" similar to an illegal alien?

My former realtor recently put the house up for sale.

Times are tough.

It would be nice to know how many withdrew their homes from the market.

Thanks Grim!

That means we have theoretically crossed the 30K limit.

Some if not most of the sellers may have a feeling that they can get better deals in the future. IF the housing bubble bursts and anxiety levels increase, we can hope to see most of the 900+ homes for sale again.

Inventory put into context.

The link to a Bloomberg radio show I posted last week included a response from an economist regarding the 64% YOY increase in inventory in the Northeast - "It's remarkable."

The seller decided to take the house off the market.

Typically, when a house sits for awhile, the realtors will re-list under a different MLS #.

Shady stuff.

unrealtor,

Thanks for your answer, you are always answering my questions.

The house I am refering to is:

2274523

since you are very familar with Millburn, do you have any thoughts about this one?

At $750,000, the owner probably wasn't really looking to sell, per se, but instead to make some cash via a Greater Fool buying that crackerbox for $750,000.

Happens a lot, they just throw it out there at crazy prices to see if anyone bites.

Please be patient, and wait until 2007 to spend your $750,000.

Yes, it sucks, but buying now is financial suicide.

I like that price is adjusting but hoping for housing market collapse seems childish and dangerous, Bob. In 90s it was a struggle to get a job, many people I know was struggling. Japan is suffering with decreasing population (low birth rate) and depressed economy for years now. And you have to understand if you get laid off in Japan, you rarely get rehired by another company. I wouldn't compare US with Japan and hope same thing happens here.
