PART II OF II
(Listen to Part 1)
I’ve been on a 6 month hiatus from podcasting after 150+ interviews over the previous 2 years – had a bunch of other things going and I needed to take a little break. I’ve been itching to return and was talking to my friend Barry the other day and he wanted to do another one (his 3rd) and here it is.
It’s “R”-rated (for Ritholtz) so wear your earphones if around sensitive-types as he covers the state of housing, a possible recession and his exciting conference next Tuesday.
This podcast was too big so I cut it into 2 parts. The first part was presented yesterday.
Enjoy!
You can download here or listen below.
I highly recommend Barry’s “Big Picture” conference being held at the NYAC this coming Tuesday. For more info, click on the graphic below:

These days I have added reporting on the DC and Baltimore housing markets to our suite of market research – this time for RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), the research, analytics arm of MRIS, the largest MLS in the country.
I grew up in that region of the country and it’s been fun to analyze it. What got me excited about the index I created is the fact that it is released about 3-4 weeks sooner than NAR’s version and is 5-6 months faster than the point where contracts are signed for the Case Shiller Index and the FHFA Home Price Index.
Here is the DC headline from March release (February results):
“There was a 33 percent year-over-year increase in the number of contracts signed in February, the largest increase in more than a decade,” says housing market expert and RBI analyst Jonathan Miller. “The number of signed contracts remains 13.7 percent below the ten year average but activity has begun to expand. Unusually restrictive mortgage lending conditions continue to keep housing prices in check.”

I had the pleasure of speaking with Guy Kawasaki, former Chief (Software) Evangelist at Apple Computer in the early days of Macintosh – who has become a prolific author in addition to being a technology entrepreneur. While I claim to avoid the self-help book genre, I realize I’ve read nearly all of his books. Guy released his 10th book today: Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions. Here are some reviews.
His first book, The Macintosh Way, is now a free download and was always one of my faves – because it came out as we were building our company, Miller Samuel, entirely by using Macs. He later ran ACIUS, developer of 4th Dimension, the database application we ran for about 15 years to manage our data.
This was a pure treat for me as I got to talk about the early days of Apple, reminisced about Guy’s one word email technique (I shared my 15 second voicemail rule), his other ventures such as Alltop.com and Garage.com, the state of marketing today and how to make yourself enchanting.
Fun!

I sat down with my good friend Barry Ritholtz, CEO/Director of Equity Research of Fusion IQ, Author of Bailout Nation and the engine behind The Big Picture Blog.
Barry is the only person I know who is described as providing “trenchant economic commentary” -(Norris/NYT) in fact, I’ve never even used “trenchant” in a sentence before now. Barry makes his 3rd visit to The Housing Helix podcast and he does not disappoint his fans for the depth of his insight.
This is an R-rated (“R” for “Ritholtz”) podcast – children, young adults, rating agencies and commercial bankers beware.

The 4Q 2010 Manhattan Rental Market Overview , part of a report series that we have authored for Prudential Douglas Elliman since 1994, was released today.
Here’s an excerpt from the report:
The median rent of a
Manhattan property edged 1.7% higher to $2,950
from the same period last year and saw a seasonal
decline of 1.7% from $2,900 in the prior quarter.
Listing inventory dropped 26.1% over the year,
consistent with a 32-day decline in days on
market to 44 days. This is less than the 60 day
average over the past decade and also consistent
with the sparing use of concessions over the past
several quarters.
You can build some cool custom data tables and view charts with the current data.
Also check out my recap of the report on The Housing Helix Podcast and interviews with other housing related experts.
Other reports we prepare can be found here.

I sit down with my friend John Mehigan, an associate broker at Gumley Haft Kleier who, when he is not selling real estate, is in the cast of HGTV’s number one show Selling New York (new season on HGTV premieres at 9pm EST). We talk about his perspective on the Irish economy/Mahattan housing market and what I dubbed the “Irish Carpenter Syndrome” a few years ago as the Celtic Tiger was at full strength.
When he’s not selling on “the island” he’s selling an island in his first episode on January 13th on HGTV at 9pm. It promises to be fun (like the conversation on this podcast).

I got to interview my namesake, Jonathan Miller who is the longtime author of the seminal publication Emerging Trends in Real Estate, the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) annual commercial real estate industry forecast and speaks extensively on suburban and urban issues.
Our real estate lives have intersected for years. For example, I would get complimented for a presentation at the Waldorf Hotel (although he gave the speech) while he would get inquiries about the NYC co-op condo market (which I track).
He is the co-founder of Miller Ryan LLC, a firm that provides strategic marketing communications counsel to the financial services and real estate industries. He also writes over at GlobeSt.com on his Trend Czar blog.

I have made it a point to attend Mark Zandi’s economic forecast presentations over the years and had the opportunity to meet and speak with him at the Counselors of Real Estate meeting in Philadelphia a few months ago. He graciously accepted my invitation to have a conversation with me (via Skype). In 2009 Time magazine called him The Recession’s Hot Wonk. He’s got a more optimistic outlook than consensus at the moment, but he describes his optimism in its proper context during our conversation.
Mark is also an author, including Financial Shock: Global Panic and Government Bailouts–How We Got Here and What Must Be Done to Fix It and his new book Paying the Price: The New Economic Mess We Have Created and How to Get Out of It.
