19. France Perfect Spot to Broaden Palate - Monday, October 17, 2011

We all know that travel is broadening, and there’s no reason why that expansion of knowledge and experience shouldn’t apply to what we eat and drink. We don’t have to necessarily go as far as chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain, who gleefully scarfs down inner and outer organs of creatures many of us in the safety of our own homes would regard as bizarre, if not life-threatening, but we should try to extend the boundaries of our personal envelopes as we can.

39. Rebounding Activity - Monday, May 17, 2010

40. Residential Building Sees Uptick in February - Friday, March 12, 2010

41. Poor January Home Starts Blamed on Inclement Weather - Tuesday, February 16, 2010

January’s foul weather wreaked havoc on homebuilders, as the barrage of snow, ice and cold temperatures severely limited the ability to start homes.

42. Q4 Permits Show Improvements - Wednesday, January 13, 2010

48. Paul Stanley's Fall From Grace - Monday, August 17, 2009

50. Q2 Building Permits Continue Downward Trend - Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Now, the converse of that is true as builders consistently set new lows because of the ongoing housing crunch and credit crisis.

51. Building Permit Activity Abysmal in June - Friday, July 10, 2009

53. Q1 Data: All Quiet on the Homebuilding Front - Wednesday, April 15, 2009

When an industry slows down dramatically, it’s often said its business comes to a screeching halt. The demise of local homebuilding can’t exactly be summed up that way because it implies some kind of sound is being generated.

54. Real Estate Gloom Far From Over, Numbers Show - Wednesday, March 11, 2009

55. Q4: the epitome of slow - Wednesday, January 14, 2009

One a day. That’s about the rate builders started new homes in Shelby County during the fourth quarter of 2008, helping it achieve the dubious distinction of being one of the slowest periods in history for the industry.

56. Building Permits Consistent With ‘08 Doldrums - Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Last month’s total even marked a 53.1 percent dropoff from the 130 homes builders sold in September.

60. Q3 Building Permits Plummet - Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Listen to homebuilders’ language and it’s easy to discern their problems. Instead of using terms such as “expanding operations” and “ramping up production” – as they did a few years ago – builders now resort to phrases like “hunkering down” and “scaling back.”

61. U.S. Bank Leads Local Home Sales - Thursday, October 09, 2008

62. Deutsche Bank Leads Home Seller List - Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. in August retained its spot as the top seller of homes in Shelby County in terms of dollar amount, marking the seventh month out of eight this year that the New York-based trust company ranked No. 1, according to the latest residential sellers report from real estate information company Chandler Reports, www.chandlerreports.com.

64. Builder Sales Suffer Drastic Dropoff - Monday, September 08, 2008

Reduction of inventory for Shelby County homebuilders continued at a snail’s pace last month, declining 59.3 percent from the same month a year ago.

65. Builder-Sold Homes Drop 50 Percent - Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Count the area’s homebuilders – along with Realtors and mortgage bankers – as another group that sees the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 as a salve for the ongoing real estate crisis.

Doug Collins, president of the Memphis Area Home Builders Association, said the landmark bill is so crucial to the viability of his industry that he has been furiously studying the ins and outs of the bill since President Bush signed it into law late last month.

66. Building Permits Down 72 Percent in Q2 - Wednesday, July 16, 2008
