It’s been discussed time after time by many financial experts on almost every cable news station in the United States.  The unprecedented financial crisis was and is something very serious to the overall state of our economy, in terms of how it affects every American, as well as how it influences the current global recession.

Dr. David Kelly, Chief Market Strategist of J. P. Morgan Funds, believes the Federal Reserve undertook many initiatives to restore order.  And many of these initiatives acted like pilot-versions, testing the stress of their theoretical impacts upon the markets.

As Dr. Kelly affirmed, it wasn’t so much what the tests revealed, but rather, it sent a clear message that the biggest financial institutions would not be allowed to fail under any circumstances, even if the US government got themselves over-involved.

Regarding housing starts, productivity growth appeared reasonably strong, given that it is common to see spiking dips during recession periods.  This was evident also within the Colorado Springs Real Estate housing market.

While savings have risen over the past quarter, the good news is that this sets the stage for better hiring, capital spending and consumer spending over the upcoming months.  According to the statistics, economists are not far off (about 1%) of their predictions, believing that a recession to recovery is imminent.

What exactly bottlenecks the economy appears fuzzy.  While the experts hint of the need for consumer spending to spark the real comeback from recessive times, others insist that the fastest growth sectors should come from rebuilding inventories, rebounding capital spending and enlarging government.  Of course, partisan politics marginalizes the realities of macroeconomics.

Other derailment risks that could potentially encourage further recession include tightening credit factors and geo-political shock.  Our economy is definitely intertwined with the events of a diversified world scene.  Therefore, unpredictability looms in the background, inspiring others to invest regardless and equally if not greater, causing many to withdraw financially due to fear.

In fact, the consumer numbers for July were lower than anticipated, especially as this relates to retail sales (down 0.01%), increase in jobless claims, as well as a record number of foreclosures.  It appears as if projected foreclosure numbers are on track of 1 million foreclosures per every 12 weeks.

As for the consumer who seeks advice from Colorado Springs Realtors, the market is postured for gains, but an overall understanding of the markets helps to discern the importance of purchasing either residential or commercial properties.
