Regional Economics Applications Laboratory - University of Illinois
Founded in 1989 initially as collaborative venture with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
Objective: enhance analytical capability for public policy decision-making at the urban and regional scale with an initial focus on Chicago and the Midwest
Employs doctoral students from economics, agricultural economics, urban and regional planning and geography

2012-2013 Highlights
Last half of 2012 revealed positive changes in prices Significant increase in sales volume Resolution of foreclosure issues saw significant
increase in foreclosed properties Consumer optimism dampened by “fiscal cliff issues in
Washington and the failure of Illinois state government to address deficit and unfunded pension obligations
Combination of enhanced inventory, historically low interest rates and accelerating costs of renting should fuel the housing market in 2013
![Page 4: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
State of Illinois Economies
• State is 330,000 below prior peak (November 2000) “translates” into loss state income tax revenue of $0.4 billion+ in lost sales and income tax
But…need to add considerations of: • population growth since 2000• decrease in labor force participation rates• Large number in part-time who would like full-time
employment THEN…
![Page 5: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
State of Illinois Economies
State probably needs to add close to:
• 647,000 jobs to achieve equivalent level to November 2000
• Chicago would need to add 285,000 jobs to return to 2000 level and another 100-140,000 to account for additional factors noted
![Page 6: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RECOVERY SCENARIOS
Jobs recovered Since December 2009
Note: Best year since 1980 – Illinois added 60,000 jobsLast 12 months added 53,000 jobs
![Page 7: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RECOVERY: How long will it take?• Before this recession, longest recovery was 8 years
(now > 12 years – since 2000)• Current employment in Illinois matches that late 1990s• Illinois has 5 of 10 sectors with employment levels
below those of 1990: Manufacturing, Information, Construction, Trade, Transportation & Utilities, and Financial activities
But in 2012, Illinois’ employment growth rate was 65% of U.S. but below that for the Rest of the Midwest (IA, WI, IN, OH, MI, MO). Usually it is 35% US
![Page 8: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sources of Growth – Illinois and Chicago
Both economies heavily tied to
U.S. domestic market 85% exports go to other states 15% international with strong dependence
(35%) on Canada and Mexico
40% of domestic exports and imports are with Midwest neighbors – WI, IN, OH, MI, MO, IA
![Page 9: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sources of Growth – Illinois and Chicago
Political leaders in Midwest fail to appreciate the negative effects of “job poaching” (e.g. the Indiana ad “Are you Illinoyed?”)
Illinois is in a sense the economic locomotive for Midwest economy
Recovery of Chicago and Illinois tied in with U.S. recovery but especially Midwest recovery
![Page 10: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where is the growth/decline taking place? US
Growing: • Professional & Business, Education & Health
(Chicago flat)
Declining: • Information and Financial (much greater losses
than Chicago)

Illinois and National Economy
• Illinois’ performance is surprising in view of the fact that, unlike the Rest of the Midwest, it has a similar structure to the US
• Then, why have we underperformed US?• Lower population growth?• Loss of human capital?• Less competitive industries?• Governance issues?
![Page 14: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Impacts of Migration & Job Losses
• Probably see continued erosion of state’s competitive position (dropped from 4th to 15th in terms of per capita income in the last 15 years)
• Average income of in-migrants lower than out-migrants leading to loss of income averaging $1billion over the 2000-2010 decade (translates into loss of 20,000 jobs)
![Page 15: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Challenge
loss of jobs loss of people
loss of expenditure
loss of business expansion
![Page 16: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Housing Market
• New time buyers – special credit programs• Housing turnover – people upsizing or
downsizing• Job relocation/migration• Retirement • Those currently “parked in rental properties”
Sources of Demand for HousingMarket
![Page 17: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Housing Market: Do Incentive Programs Work?
Federal Government program successfully attracted buyers – but REAL estimated that CBO estimates were way too high (i.e., incremental sales associated with the program failed to account for sales that could normally have been expected to have been made)
Secondly, after program ended, sales plummeted for several months eroding much of the benefit of the program
In essence, all the program did was accelerate the timing of purchases
![Page 18: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Incentive programEnded, 2010
![Page 19: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Housing Market: Turnover
• In recent years, “time on the market” has extended to 15+ months (in the early 2000s, 2-4 months was normal)
• In December 2012, it was between 4-5 months (pre-recession, 2+ months)
Turnover generating fewer sales as consumers become more risk adverse
![Page 20: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Housing Market: Turnover
• Market segmentation by price becoming more pronounced
• Time on market increases with price• However, note the significant decreases
across all prices ranges comparing December 2012 with 2011
![Page 21: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Unsold Inventory by Price Range – Illinois
December 2012 on top, Dec 2011 on bottom
![Page 22: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Housing Market: Job Relocation/Migration
• Migration rates have been declining since early 2000s - demographers are puzzled by this phenomenon
• In a buoyant housing market and expectation of price appreciation, relocation often accompanied by sale and purchase of house
Job relocation still important source of demand but fewer people changing jobs
![Page 23: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Housing Market: Job Relocation/Migration
• Now with job mobility down, those relocating often “parking” themselves in apartments to shelter against prospect of short-term negative equity in a home
• Rental rates have thus risen in the last two years
• A Deutsche Bank A.G., the cost of renting in Chicago was 31.3% higher than average after-tax monthly mortgage payments in the third quarter in 2012
![Page 24: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Housing Market: Retirement/Migration
• Are retirees beginning to reconsider remaining in the Midwest?
• Relative housing price declines greater in FL and AZ – suggesting that retirees could sell in IL (even below their desired price) and still afford the house they desire in FL or AZ
![Page 25: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Housing Market: Retirement/Migration
• Retiree incomes spent in Illinois generating positive ripple effects
• Retirees remaining here are not selling their homes so there is a loss of energy in the housing market
Is net effect positive or negative for state?
![Page 26: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Housing Market: Turnover generates impacts
• Through 2007, typical Illinois county experienced 11% turnover in households each year (5% in and 6% out)
• Further 6-12% change houses within the same county
• Rates tend to be higher in metro counties
![Page 27: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Housing Market: Turnover generates impacts
• Illinois Total Direct Expenditures on a home sale is $28,581 (payments to REALTORS®, bank loan origination fees, state and county taxes, fix-up costs) source: recent IAR study
• In 2010 111,319 sales so direct impact was $3.2 billion
• Generates about $7.9 billion annually through ripple effect
![Page 28: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Housing Market: Turnover generates impacts
• Each $1 billion generates about 12,000 jobs directly: total direct + indirect effect = 130,000 jobs
• 34% reduction in sales translates into loss of 50,000 jobs
• Further negative effect on states income and sales taxes
• This is in addition to the construction impacts associated with new homes
![Page 29: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Let’s Do the Math – Cumulative Impacts on Jobs
• Decline in housing sales 50,000• Net Out-migration
20,000• Reduced spending for
road construction (down $1 b) 16,000
Total (86,000) greater than IL job growth in 2012!
![Page 30: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Prices Inching up, still below 2010
![Page 31: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sales Gain: strong second half 2012 – eclipsed 2011 and 2010
![Page 32: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Mix of Home Sales remained steady -slight decline in properties < $100,000
![Page 33: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
If sales have increased, why haven’t prices? The Foreclosure Overhang
Three parts to consider:– Filings
Occur when mortgagee cannot make payments
– SalesSale of property returned to owner of the note
– InventoryAccumulation of foreclosed properties not yet
sold
![Page 34: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
More on inventory
• Illinois uses the judicial foreclosure process.• A typical foreclosure case in Illinois takes 210 to 270
days. • However, if the borrower tries to fight against the
foreclosure process, then it will take much longer to finish the foreclosure process – accumulating in the inventory.
The Foreclosure Overhang…..
![Page 35: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
More on inventory
• According to RealtyTrac, Chicago MSA has the highest foreclosure stock among the top 20 MSAs. Sooner or later, part of the foreclosure inventory will turn into foreclosure sales or short sales.
• For several months in 2012, Illinois led nation in foreclosure sales
• This foreclosure inventory generates large impact for the future housing market sales and prices.
The Foreclosure Overhang…..
![Page 36: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
More on inventory: Good news – Bad news
• Bad news: foreclosed property sales drag down median prices
• Good news: number of foreclosed sales greater than new additions to the inventory
• Faster the foreclosed properties are moved, greater the possibility for some sustained price recovery (estimate 2 years)
The Foreclosure Overhang…..
![Page 37: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Final Concerns
Signals in the economy and in the housing market continue to be “noisy”
Congress’ inability to fully address Fiscal Cliff (including deductibility of mortgage interest) creates uncertainty
State has not yet demonstrated that it is prepared to tackle its fiscal problems
Firms would like to locate/expand in the state but have little faith in the state’s fiscal management
![Page 47: Economic Forecast 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546205f8b4af9f6c1c8b4579/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Illinois’ Opportunities
Re-shoring is beginning to gather momentum Boston Consulting Group estimated Chinese
wages will approach US levels in 3-5 years Developments in 3-D manufacturing have the
capacity to change the state’s locational competitive advantage
Do we have the leadership in place…?

REAL’s Current Initiatives
Continue to work on development of a housing index that reflects housing characteristics
