The only bright spot ordsprog

The only bright spot left this year could be December, which is typically driven by year-end sales campaigns.

Last year was a terrible year for both price and availability of construction materials. This year is more in line with historical norms, ... If there's a bright spot, that's it.

As an organization, would we like to be in a better spot? Everybody would like to know they're in the playoffs. But that's not a reality, year after year being in a [playoff] spot with 10, 12, 15 games left. We don't have that this year, so our playoffs have started.

Easter is the third-biggest seasonal driver for retailers in malls. The Christmas season — November and December — accounted for 25 percent of their sales last year. The beginning of summer — May and June — accounted for 15. 4 percent of total sales last year. Then came March and April, accounting for 12 percent of sales.

Same-store sales in September 2002 jumped 37 percent. Sales in October last year were up 23 percent, 15 percent in November. [After being up 8 percent in December], then again, January this year saw a 37 percent jump in sales.

This year has been so good. We have so many tournaments left that I want to do well in, but now the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award is finalized. All my goals are being checked off. So I have to go back and rethink what I want to do for the rest of the year, because I am very goal driven and it seems like everything is done now.

Whereas we typically see a new year's increase, our polling indicates that workers are approaching this year with a 'wait-and-see' attitude. This is not a great cause for concern, though, as worker sentiment remains essentially unchanged from December, which showed increased optimism overall.

The fact that the market has been able to sustain a record—breaking sales pace during the first eight months of the year is ample proof that the American dream of homeownership is alive and well in the Buckeye State. Housing continues to be a true bright spot in the overall economic picture.

November's upward revision probably mitigates the miss in December but I think the total year-over-year sales comparison might be a better barometer.

The reason this December shortfall won't be a shock to the 2006 budget is because the projected sales-tax numbers for December had been adjusted during the year to be more conservative. This was about what we expected.

The housing market continues to be a bright spot in the Illinois economy. Residential real estate market activity has remained high despite interest rates inching upward. We are seeing increasing inventory across the state, so we should expect to see a greater balance between supply and demand in the coming months. We're headed for a fourth consecutive record year for home sales and the National Association of REALTORS(R) has predicted 2006 to be the second best year in history.

Our sales for the month of December were at the upper end of our expectations, driven in part by a higher mix of promotional sales,

The only reason I see for the decline is profit taking. The company did say that sales in the first week of December were weak, but I think it's too early to judge since most sales typically occur in the last two weeks of the month.

A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing. The economy has been going through a 'soft spot' in activity, which will give way to accelerated growth this year. 2003 will not be a year of exceptional strength, but rather of solid advance. GAFS sales trends will parallel overall economic activity and improve during the year.

Despite the bad press, the number of home sales during the October through December period was higher than during the last quarter of 2004, but the small year-to-year increase suggests that some slowing of the market is under way.
