Seguimos. La hora de los resultados de las cías inmobiliarias en bolsa americana. La hora de la verdad.
Toll Brother en la presentación de los resultados del segundo cuarto reconoció que esta crisis inmobiliaria por sobredemanda es la peor de 40 años:
The slowdown "is the first downturn in the forty years since we entered the business that was not precipitated by high interest rates, a weak economy, job losses or other macroeconomic factors," Toll said in his statement.
"Instead, it seems to be the result of an oversupply of inventory and a decline in confidence," he added. "Speculative buyers who spurred demand in 2004 and 2005 are now sellers; builders that built speculative homes must now move their specs; and nervous buyers are canceling contracts for homes already under construction."
Esta empresa ha anunciado que los contratos firmados en segundo cuarto de año ha bajado un 45% hasta 1.05 billones de dolares frente a los 1.92 billones del año anterior.
