Real Estate Prices: Boom
Calculated Risk: California Real Estate Prices: Boom and Bust Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? BlogThis! Calculated Risk Click Here to Return to Main Page Politics and Economics Tuesday, March 15, 2005 California Real Estate Prices: Boom and Bust Today I heard someone comment that California Real Estate never goes down. In fact, California RE has declined in the past in both real and nominal terms. Click on graph for larger image. This graph shows the price of California RE based on the OFHEO California housing index . For the real price, the nominal price is adjusted by CPI, less Shelter, from the BLS . (1976 = 100) The graph shows that in real terms we have seen two declines since 1980. The first decline, in the early '80s, lasted 3 years. The second decline, in the early to mid '90s, lasted 6 years. The second graph shows the same information by annual rate of return, both real and nominal. The decline in the '90s lasted 24 quarters from peak to trough. It took 9 years for prices to recover in nominal terms to their early '91 peak. Overall prices declined 12% in nominal terms and 26% in real terms. Even more important for the economy are the coincident declines in sales volume. Real Estate prices are “sticky downward” since sellers are slow to adjust their prices down, and buyers are reluctant to buy a declining price asset. In this regards, real estate is an imperfect market in that prices adjust slowly to changes in supply and demand (unlike commodities like corn or wheat). Although prices do decline, it’s the decline in volume that leads to declining employment in real estate related occupations like construction, RE sales, mortgages, and more, and impacts the general economy. posted by CalculatedRisk at 8:39 PM Comments | Trackback Calculated Risk: a senior executive, retired from a public company, with a background in investing, finance and economics.

Amazon.com Sales Rank: Today: #767 in Video Yesterday: #1,048 in Video Editorial Reviews Amazon.com House of Wax brought Vincent Price into the horror genre, where he fit as snugly as a scalpel in a mad scientist's hand. A remake of the 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum , this entertaining Gothic shocker casts Price as a sculptor of wax figures; his unwilling victims--er, "models"--lend their bodies to his lifelike depictions of Marie Antoinette and Joan of Arc. The film was one of the top 10 moneymakers of its year, thanks in part to the 3-D gimmick, which explains why so many things are aimed at the camera (why else would the paddleball man be there?). Footnote to history: director Andre De Toth was blind in one eye, and thus could not see in three dimensions. --Robert Horton Spotlight Reviews (What's this?)

Vincent Price stars, and this movie was his first of many, many horror films. He's perfect in this role, and it's puzzling why no one had cast him as this type of character before. He plays Prof. Henry Jarrod, a wax figure sculptor who's far too obsessed with his work. He's the head of an unsuccessful wax museum and watches in disgust as other museums make money by showing horror style wax figures, such as mass murderers. When his museum is burned to the ground, he re-emerges and seeks vengeance on persons responsible. The film received a great deal of buzz as the second 3-D film released by a major studio ("Bwana Devil" was the first); not surprisingly, it was a major hit, becoming the 7th biggest money-maker of 1953. "House of Wax" was actually a remake of a 1933 film, "Mystery of the Wax Museum." In addition, a remake of this film is currently in the works, and should be released in 2005. One of the stars of the upcoming film is Paris Hilton, which should be interesting! Although I prefer Castle's horror films from this period, Price alone makes this film worthwhile. Carolyn Jones ("Addams Family") is also fun as a kind harlot. Overall, the movie holds up pretty well, mostly because of its creepy tone. I saw the movie in 2-D but still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Prince gets to be both understated and hammy in the brilliant film, that he is likely best know for. It catches the atmosphere of the Gaslight period, and is lighting speed, as Price goes from a brilliant artist of life-like wax figures, to a scarred man, nearly killed by his partner wanting the insurance. He is forced to watch his two crowning glories, his Joan of Arc and his Marie Antoinette destroyed in the fire. With scared hands, he is forced to use bodies to fill his new house of wax, while Price also manages to meet out a little revenge to his former partner. At first bodies are vanishing from the morgue, but when Price sees Jones - the living image of Joan of Arc - and Phyllis Kirk, his Marie Antoinette come to life in his mind - he knows he must possess the bodies of both women to see if greatest works recreated. Is so spooky, and Kirk ably screams her way from one mishap to the next. Just does not get any better. --This text refers to the DVD edition Was this review helpful to you?

Melllting!... , December 29, 2005 Reviewer: Bindy Sue Fr?nk?nschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" (under the rubble)- See all my reviews Poor Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price). He's a wax-sculptor / wax museum owner who just wants to bring a little beauty into the world w/ his life-like, historical figures. Unfortunately, the public doesn't want beauty, it wants wax versions of murderers and sensationalism. Jarrod's partner knows this and decides to torch the museum for the insurance money. When Jarrod resists, he gets torched as well. Years later, a new wax museum opens, run by Henry Jarrod! He didn't die after all. Now, people are being murdered by a mysterious, disfigured man in a black hat and cloak. Their bodies are then stolen from the morgue! Where are they going, and why are Jarrod's new wax figures so eerily familiar looking? HOUSE OF WAX is the first of a long line of horror / revenge movies for Vincent. You can see the same tormented / demented soul here that would later shine in movies like PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THEATRE OF BLOOD, MADHOUSE, THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, and DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN. HOUSE OF WAX is an excellent remake of the 1933 film MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM w/ Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray (both are also in The Vampire Bat and Doctor X). I love both movies! While HOUSE is more gothic, MYSTERY is more '30s pulp. They each have their own creepy charm and interesting plotpoints. Atwill is sedate yet sinister, while Wray is her usual beautiful, vulnerable self. HOUSE OF WAX / MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM make a great double feature... --This text refers to the DVD edition Was this review helpful to you?

( Report this ) 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: GOOD OLD FASHIONED GOTHIC THRILLS , November 6, 2005 Reviewer: Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA)- See all my reviews It's 1953, and Vincent Price is about to appear in his first horror film, a move that of course predicated what was to be the genre we remember this marvelous actor for. Filmed in 3-D, a feat in itself for fifty years ago, this tale revolves around Price, a wax museum curator, who is badly disfigured in a fire set by his greedy partner (the effable Roy Roberts) in order to get the twenty five thousand dollars in insurance money. A few years later, a now demented Price wants revenge and gets it, while setting up a fanciful new wax museum whose figures have a secret twist. We all know how they're made, but it's fun guessing along. Carolyn Jones (Addams Family), Phyllis Kirk, Frank Lovejoy and Charles Bronson all show up in supporting roles and the end result is a campy, enjoyable thriller, actually much more interesting than the confusing 2005 remake. Price fans will love this one. --This text refers to the DVD edition Was this review helpful to you?

Bernabo (The Zenith City: Duluth, MN United States)- See all my reviews With the new "House of Wax" out on DVD this week I thought it was time to go back and see the original version with Vincent Price. Of course, director Andr De Toth's 1953 film was based on Michael Curtiz's slightly superior 1933 film "Mystery of the Wax Museum," which why those two films have much more in common that the two "House of Wax" films. Besides, this "House of Wax" was shot in 3-D and part of the fun in watching it again is to spot the 3-D effect. The opening titles and the ping pong player (Reggie Rymal) going after our popcorn are the most obvious ones, but you will notice the film is not full of obvious 3-D shots (pay attentions to limbs and such, especially on the Can-Can dancers). The craze was launched the previous year with the release of "Bwana Devil," in an attempt to win back audiences from the exploding success of television. Fortunately, "House of Wax" stands on its own. This time the setting is in Baltimore before the Civil War rather than contemporary New York City. Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price) is a brilliant artist when it comes to making wax figures, although the way he talks to his creations makes us doubt his sanity. When Jarrod's partner, Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts), tries to burn down their wax museum for the insurance money, Jarrod fights him and is presumed killed in the inferno trying to rescue his beloved creations. Years later a hideously disfigured man kills both Burke and his gold digging mistress, Cathy Gray (Carolyn Jones), whose bodies are stolen from the morgue. At this same time Jarrod, now rolling around in a wheelchair with his hands horrible burned by the fire, opens up his new House of Wax. Jarrod has become interested in using Sue Allen (Phyllis), the ex-roommate of Burke's dead mistress, as the model for his new Marie Antoinette. Sue is seeing Scott Andrews (Paul Picerni), who is working as one of Jarrod's assistants, along with the deaf-mute Igor (Charles Bronson when he was still going by Buchinsky) and the squirrelly Leon Averill (Nedrick Young). Meanwhile, Lt. Brennan (Frank Lovejoy) and Sgt. Jim Shane (Dabbs Greer), are investigating the disappearing corpses and trying to figure out the mystery. The problem is that from the viewers point of view it is clear who is doing the murders, so there are no real surprises here. The only really spooky part is when the shadowy figure is following the damsel in distress through the misty streets. But there is fun to be had in just seeing the displays of wax works in the two museums, both of which are filmed in such rich colors that you forget their are dead people underneath the wax. If you have ever been to a real wax museum, that is to say a good one like one of Madame Tussaud's (in London for me), the only real difference is that the chamber of horrors is dimly lit to heighten the effects (and the shocks), while Jarrod's displays are bathed in light (all the better to see them in). Besides, it is the idea of what those figures really are that is at play here. The whole idea of preserving corpses as art, whether you use wax or plaster (as in "A Bucket of Blood") is pretty creepy. The whole idea of displaying perfectly preserved corpses, as was done with Vladimir Lenin and Eva Peron, seems rather ghoulish if you are not part of those respective cults of personality. The recent controversy over whether sending plastinated corpses on exhibition tours crosses the line between science education and desecration speaks to this as well. The climax of these films always comes when the wax breaks or melts away and the horrible truth is revealed. "House of Wax" also has the added advantage of letting us see Vincent Price's face crumble away to reveal the horrors beneath, which would be repeated in the Dr. Phibes movies. In fact, it was "House of Wax" that effectively launched Price on his career in horror films for which he is ultimately remembered. Was this review helpful to you?

Land for Sale Final
Land for Sale UK | Self Build Land for Sale Home | Self Build | Buying Self Build Land | Planning & Building Information | Directory | Forum | Site Map | Buying Self Build Land Location Land Agents Land Auctions Assessing Building Land for Sale Final Checks Land for Sale - Information Plots of Land for Sale Plot Finder A Self Builders Experience of Buying Land Land for Sale UK There are two types of land for sale in terms of self build homes - land for sale with planning permission and land for sale without planning permission. Each type of land has pros and cons but ultimately it comes down to time and money. Land without planning permission Land for sale without planning permission is much cheaper than land with some type of planning permission . Buying a plot of land for sale without planning permission does carry an element of risk - in terms of self build it might be wise to consider this more of an investment rather than guaranteed building land. There are many companies offering land for sale without planning permission in areas of housing shortage, ripe for development and, in some cases, the government have specified green belt land for development. This type of land for sale is often referred to as strategic land. Strategic land for sale is often next to existing development and over time may become enveloped in the boundaries and may be considered for development. Once planning permission is gained the value of this land is much greater. A plot of land without planning permission may cost around £15,000. An equivalent plot of land with planning permission may be sold for around £100,000. The land may not be considered for development now, but with the UK government putting their foot down and forcing local councils to build more homes more land may be released or reconsidered at any time. A couple in London purchased a plot of land without planning permission - yet just seven weeks later Islington council had given planning consent! Plots of land for sale can never be guaranteed to get planning permission in the future - nor can it be guaranteed that the land will not gain it. There may be money to be saved and money to be made in the medium to long term from plots of land for sale without planning permission. Read a buyers experience of land for sale without planning permission Land with Planning Permission Land for sale is also available with planning permission . The planning permission may range from simple outline planning permission to detailed planning permission. The degree of planning permission is reflected in the price. A plot of land with planning permission is an easy, if costly route to ensuring that you can build on the land. But in the case of land with full detailed planning permission you need to be sure that the plans submitted match your plans for self build. This type of land is expensive and the end result may be far from your 'dream house'. If you purchase land that has outline planning permission this may give more scope to get your own plans approved, but there are no guarantees that the changes you propose will be accepted. When buying land for sale with planning permission it would be wise to have an informal chat to the planning authority to discuss your plans to see that they are not rejected.
