Prices Rise as Consumer Confidence Declines
The U.S. government’s $8,000 tax credit for home buyers helped boost home prices. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg estimated gains in home prices 1.3 percent to 4.1 percent, after 2.3 percent annual growth in March.
The home-price gauge fell 0.1 percent in April compared to the previous month. Although the worst is over, economists warn that real estate prices could face another setback due to the end of the tax credit, rising foreclosures, and high unemployment.

Strip Mall Developers Try Different Tenant Mixes
A changing retail marketplace is forcing developers to think differently about the mix of businesses in their retail centers.
Tenants that have successfully joined the retail mix in some areas include health clubs, children’s play areas, theaters, and medical offices.
The downside of medical, says Jeff Green of Jeff Green Partners, a retail-feasibility consultantcy in Mill Valley, Calif., is that they may not result in much cross-shopping, but they can introduce patients to alternatives for a different shopping trip.
Generally, practitioners don’t believe that such alternative tenants work in prime or anchor locations because they don’t generate enough traffic.
But Ed Wulfe, president of Wulfe & Co., a Houston-based commercial retail real estate firm, says that in this market flexibility is important because what makes a good tenant mix is in a state of flux.

Renting Can Be a Good Option for Sellers
Home owners who have been trying to sell their properties for a year or more might consider lease or a rent-to-own option.
A lease option agreement gives the tenant the option to buy at a predetermined price for a rent that is slightly higher than market. In a lease purchase, a buyer commits to buying the property. In exchange, the seller credits a percentage of each payment toward the purchase price.
Either arrangement is likely to attract serious renters who would like to buy the property if they can. In exchange, they’ll take good care of it.
Negotiating these agreements can be tricky, and the owner should always get help from a real estate attorney.
