On Monday, January 5, the Commerce Department reported total construction spending fell 0.6% in the month of November. Economists had anticipated a much steeper drop of 1.3%. The primary cause for the drop was residential construction spending, which fell in November by 4.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $328.3 billion. Residential construction spending is down 23.4% from a year ago.

On Tuesday, the National Association of Realtors said pending sales for existing homes in November fell to the lowest level in the eight-year history of its index. The trade group said its seasonally adjusted index fell 4% to 82.3 in November from a revised 85.7 in October. Economists expected a reading of 88.

The Commerce Department reported factory orders declined by 4.6% in November, nearly double the 2.5% drop economists expected. Orders have been falling since August, with a 6% drop in October, the biggest decline in eight years. The report showed that demand for durable goods, items expected to last three or more years, fell a modest 1.5% in November. Durable goods dropped 8.5% in October. Demand for nondurable goods, items such as food, paper and petroleum products, dropped by 7.4% in November following a 3.8% decline in October.

The Labor Department said on Thursday the number of people continuing to claim jobless benefits rose by 101,000 to 4.61 million, just slightly above the 4.5 million economists expected.  Unfortunately, that doesn’t count the unemployed that don’t qualify for unemployment benifits because they were self employed and no longer make enough to survive on.

On Friday, the Labor Department reported that the nation’s unemployment rate increased to 7.2% in December from 6.8% in November as businesses cut 524,000 jobs. Employers are also cutting workers’ hours. The average work week in December fell to 33.3 hours, the lowest level on record dating back to 1964.

In other news, the New York-based real estate data company Radar Logic Inc. reported that motivated sales, which include foreclosure auctions and banks selling homes taken over for non-payment, in the 25 largest U.S. metropolitan areas increased 193% between January 2008 to October 2008.

Upcoming on the economic calendar are reports on retail sales on January 14 and consumer inflation on January 16.

On Tuesday, December 23, the Commerce Department reported that the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, declined at an annual rate of 0.5% in the July-September quarter. It was also reported that corporate profits fell 1.2% in the third quarter.

The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index rebounded this month from the lowest level in 28 years. The index rose in December to 60.1 from 55.3 in November. Economists had forecast a reading of 58.8. The increase was attributed to easing inflationary pressures and a decline in gasoline prices. According to AAA, the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline at the pump was $1.65 on December 23, compared with a record high $4.11 on July 17.

The median sales price of an existing home fell 13.2% in November to $181,300, from $208,000 a year ago. It was the biggest year-over-year drop since recordkeeping began in 1968, said the National Association of Realtors. The median price for a new home sold in November declined 11.5% from a year earlier to $220,400.

New home sales dropped 2.9% in November to an annual sales rate of 407,000 units, according to a report by the Commerce Department. The rate was the lowest since January 1991.

The National Association of Realtors reported existing home sales fell 8.6% in November to an annualized rate of 4.49 million units. Economists had expected an annualized rate of 4.93 million.

Meanwhile, the Commerce Department reported that orders for durable goods dropped by 1%, less than the 3% decrease economists had expected.

Upcoming on the economic calendar is a report on consumer confidence on December 30.

I can’t seem to find much good news out there lately… but what they aren’t reporting is the success that small home business owners are having, especially those that help others improve their situations and lifes.

Those of us that do already have our own real successful home based businesses aren’t worried and are actually doing better in this downturned economy.  See how you can join us and get started for FREE at:
