Start Drinking, Prices May Be Heading Sideways
The New York Times checks in with the latest numbers from the Case Shiller home index, which monitors home sale prices in 20 cities, reporting that prices continued to rise during the summer months (in July, prices rose 1.2 percent from the month before). Via the paper: “Prices increased in 17 of the cities, one more than in June. As recently as March, all had declined. ‘There are now several months of data in which we have seen improvement,’ said Maureen Maitland, vice president for index services at Standard & Poor’s. ‘California in particular seems to be showing sustained improvement.” Terrific news. But now go read the Wall Street Journal, which has a Q and A with Robert Shiller, the man behind the index. Among other things, Shiller anticipates a recovery that’s five years off, with prices staying relatively flat for the next few years, or as he puts it: sideways (ie neither falling or rising). His concerns: The tapering off of home buyer’s tax credit incentives, the phase-out of the Fed’s plot to buy mortgage-backed securities, and more anticipated foreclosures. He tells the WSJ: “We’ve yet to see how the housing market will continue. Part of the problem is that people are buying now rather than later. When later comes, there could be a downturn in the market.”

That’s Rather Hideous: Leisureland In Palm Springs
Can there ever be too much of a excellent thing? Why yes, Virginia, there can. Case in point, Jamie Kabler’s “Leisureland” home in Palm Springs. Kabler, an entrepreneur best known as the inventor of the Hollywood Diet, the Hollywood Cookie Diet and the Hollywood 15 Day Detox owns an Alexander home in Las Palmas and has filled every square inch with art. According to MyDesert.com, the house includes a “Blonde Bombshell” room that is “a tribute to the gorgeous blondes of the silver screen — Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Catherine Deneuve and Sharon Tate. ‘I just loved her ‘Valley of the Dolls,” he said.” There’s also, yes, a “Valley of the Dolls” room, natch. Not only does it feature enlarged production stills, but there’s also a glass case of Barbies. And his collection of corpses? Hidden in a closet, we’re sure.
