Borough reaches $500K settlement on utility billing THE RECORD-PRESS FANWOOD — The Borough Council this week introduced a $325,000 refunding bond ordinance to help pay for a settlement with the Plainfleld Municipal Utilities Authority (PMUA) that was final- ized earlier this month. A public hearing is scheduled for Dec. 19. According to Mayor Colleen Mahr and Fred Tomkins, the bor- ough's chief financial officer, the $500,000 settlement brings to a close a "dark cloud" that loomed over the municipality and stemmed from a billing dispute with the PMUA. During the formation of the PMUA in the mid-1990s, the bor- ough did not receive a bill for use of the authority's pipes. Previously, Fanwood, had paid the City of Plainfield directly. About 144 homes in Fanwood need to use the PMUA pipes to send sewage to the Plainfield Area Regional Sewerage Authority (PARSA). Eventually, the borough received a bill for about $1 million, but with "no explanation of the billing process," said Tomkins. The PMUA began pursuing collections on the bill three years ago, when it sued the borough for the unpaid balance. Tomkins said that it would have cost the borough more to go to court to contest the suit than to try and reach a settlement. It took approxi- mately two years of negotiations, but the borough and the PMUA were finally able to strike a deal. They were assisted by Assembly representatives Jerry Green and Linda Stender, who mediated dis- cussions over the course of two months, according to Tomkins. Under the terms of the settle- ment, the borough will pay the PMUA a lump sum of $500,000 for use of its pipes from 2000 until January 2012. Subsequently, the borough will only have to pay 62 percent of the going rate for Plainfield residents. An emergency appropriation in the amount of $325,000 was approved by the council on Monday, Nov. 5. The refunding bond in the same amount, which requires approval from the state's Local Finance Board, will enable the bor- ough to fund its payments over a period of time instead of taking a severe hit to the 2008 municipal budget. If Fanwood's application is approved by the Local Finance Board on Dec. 12, Tomkins said, the borough could have up to five years to pay down the debt. The remaining $175,000 will be paid with funds set aside from the operating budgets in 2006 through 2008, in anticipation of a settle- ment, said Tomkins. Two related resolutions were also approved this week that authorize the borough to apply for the funding mechanism to the Local Finance Board and sign a memorandum of agreement with the PMUA. "We ended uppaying a little more than we wanted to pay, and they ended up getting a little less than they were requesting," said Tomkins. Theresa Stidtz is a staff writer for the Record-Press.

Insurance switch saves $1 millionWESTFIELD — The Board of Education announced last

week that it is switching health care providers effective Jan.1, 2008 — a move that is expected to save the district close to$1 million compared to what it would pay by staying with itscurrent provider, officials said.

In an interview Monday, Superintendent Margaret Dolansaid that Oxford, the district's current provider, offered a pro-posal that called for a 28 percent increase in premiums, whileCIGNA Health Care proposed "more competitive services forless." Under the new contract, CIGNA will provide healthinsurance to district employees through Dec. 31,2OO8.

Notifications were sent this week to employees, and so farthe change has caused little fanfare, according to Dolan,

"Certainly people tend to be very anxious about whetherthe doctors they're used to working with are still covered,which we don't anticipate to be a problem, but in general peo-ple are handling the changes well," said Dolan.

The district has used CIGNA in the past, which may makethe switch smoother. "The district is working very hard toensure the transition is a good one," Dolan said.

Like many publici Atl

k many public ffirJwl>tPapen was in Atlantic Citythia week for the League ofMunicipalities conventionand could not be reached forcomment, but several peoplewith knowledge of the situa-tion said she intended tointroduce a resolution torescind the earlier vote.

Last week, Scotch PlainsMayor Martin Marks saidthe Township Council has yetto decide which stance it willultimately take on privatiza-tion. But before a decisioncan be made, he said, histown hopes to bring in RVSA

bothspeak tocouncil.

Marks said hiswith the decision to solicitRFP* was not that it was "ill-advised, but ill-timed "Westfleld's RVSA commis-sioner, Allan Chin, offered asimilar criticism when hedisnisswd the issue recently,saying the move was "prema-ture." Chin voted against thestudy, with the harking of theWestfield Town Council.

In Kenilworth, the RVSAcommissioner is MayorGregg David, who votedagainst the study ofprivati-zation. Garwood's RVSA rep-resentative is CouncilmanCharles Lombardo, whovoted in favor of solicitingRFPs. Lombardo's colleagueson the Borough Council didnot criticize his action, butsome borough residents did,and the seven-term incum-bent lost his re-election bidon Nov. 6.

Adding more drama to the

situation, Peter Pelissier. whois both Railway's RVSA com-missioner and the city's busi-ness administrator, has Iliada formal ethics complaintacainst Clifford Landale.who representsMountainside on the RVSA.Rahway has been the com-munity pushing hardestsome form of privati— its mayor, JiKennedy, penned an op-addefending the Oct. 18 vote —while Landale has been oneof the moat outspoken oppo-nents.

Aspokesperson for the stateLocal Finance Board, wherethe complaint was filed, saidthe board does not commenton complaints or investiga-tions. Landale could not bereached for comment.

Mahr fields redevelopment questionsTHE RECORD-PRESS

FANWOOD — In response from questionsfrom a local resident, Mayor Colleen Mahrscud this week that the borough has beengiven no explanation yet about the causebehind the collapse of a firewall at the StationMews construction site earlier this year.

Mahr and members of the BoroughCouncil also defended their strategy fordowntown redevelopment, which mayinvolve purchasing a machine shop that wasdamaged when the wall fell.

At Monday's council meeting, MichaelDWntuno of Arlene Court posed questions toMahr and the council regarding a $2 millionbond ordinance that puts the borough in aposition to purchase the Livingston-Wilbormachine shop at 238 South Ave. and an adja-cent garage at 41 Second St. Officials havesaid the sites are the critical final piecesneeded to complete a larger redevelopmenteffort in a one-block area zone. A public hear-ing on the bond ordinance and a final vote bythe council is scheduled on Nov. 20.

D'Antuno also asked for an explanation ofwhat caused the Station Mews firewall to col-lapse on top of the machine shop, temporari-ly trapping Wilbor and two of his employeesin May. And he wanted to know who author-ized the stop work order to be lifted at theStation Mews, allowing construction toresume in July.

In addition, D'Antuno asked whether anenvironmental study of the machine shop,which has been an industrial site for over 50years, has been conducted, and whether anappraisal of the property supports the bondordinance for the purchase of Wilbor's prop-

erty. "I'm a senior living on a fixed income,"he said.

"We have not gotten the official wordfrom OSHA (the federal Occupational Safetyand Health Administration) as to the finalcause of the collapse," responded Mahr.Furthermore, she said, the borough "hired anindependent structural engineer to preventfurther damage and shore up the building."

According to Mahr, Station Mews ownerHelen Ling and contractor JosephBuontempo had to complete a checklist com-piled by the independent engineer beforethey were given permission to "get back upand running."

With respect to the $2 million ordinanceand the redevelopment plan, "We're at apoint where we see the end in sight," Mahrsaid. "... The community supports a betterdowntown (and) we're at a critical junctureright now. The more successful the redevel-opment of the downtown, the more success-ful the borough will be."

The council introduced the bond ordi-nance as part of a plan to purchase the prop-erty and turn it over to a redeveloper; thesites could play a key role in a revisedarrangement for downtown parking.Councilwoman Donna Dolce said purchasingthe property through the bond ordinancewas preferable to resorting to eminentdomain — a costly and unpopular alterna-tive.

"Without this piece it doesn't work," BaidMahr of the Wilbor property. "We're undertime constraints with Mr. Wilbor that havecaused us to step up, and if we step away wecan kiss the redevelopment effort goodbye."

Public property director(Continued from page A-l)

filed a lawsuit last month inwhich he alleges that he waspassed over for promotionand was retaliated against byAtkins, who believed him tobe responsible for an anony-mous letter sent to the town-ship and the Times that criti-cized Cerami's leadership ofthe department.

Cerami was the publicworks director in ClintonTownship-prior to coming toScotch Plains. In December2006, not long after startingwork for the township, hewas indicted in HunterdonCounty for allegedly pocket-ing $200 accrued from scrapmetal sales. He took a leaveof absence the followingmonth and in March pleadedguilty to a misdemeanor dis-orderly persona offense.

A new plan foraffordable housing

The recent stumbles in the housing market have alot of homeowners concerned about the value of theirinvestment. The concerns are serious, but there'sanother whole class of New Jersey residents who wishthey had those problems. In a state that has the sec-ond-highest housing costs in the country, many, peoplesee their home not as an investment but as shelter —and too often, it's shelter that is hard to find and hardto pay for. The result is not only bad for those individ-uals, it's bad for all of us, aa our communities becomesegregated and stratified by socioeconomic status.

Ever since the state Supreme Court's Mount Laurelruling in 1975, New Jersey's municipalities have hadan obligation to provide affordable housing to low-and moderate-income families and individuals. It's awell-intentioned policy, but one that has been subvert-ed too often by unnecessarily complicated rules andefforts by towns to get out of their "fair share" obliga-tion. A new plan announced this week in Trenton hasthe potential, if it becomes law, to abolish' some of theworst parts of the existing policy and create housingopportunities in all communities.

The plan, announced by Assembly DemocratsJoseph Roberts, Bonnie Watson Coleman and JerryGreen on Monday, includes components to extendmore tax credits to developers and expand eligibilityfor assistance to middle-income families. But the mostpowerful — and potentially most controversial —parts of the proposal would bar suburbs from payingcities to absorb their housing obligation, mandate thatdevelopments assisted by state grants include a 20-percent set-aside for affordable units, and rewardtowns that meet their housing obligation with addi-tional school funding.

The proposals to eliminate Regional ContributionAgreements (RCAs) and mandate set-asides in so-called "Transit Villages" and "Smart Growth Areas"are good policy. RCAs, which allow wealthy communi-ties to pay urban areas to take on half of their obliga-tions, are one of the mechanisms by which affluenttowns have sought to keep the price of entry for newresidents high. Eliminating RCAs will help fulfill theoriginal, worthy intent of the Mount Laurel ruling —to make affordable housing available in all communi-ties.

The mandated set-aside should have a similareffect. Locally, towns that have won Transit Villageand Smart Growth grants include Cranford andFanwood — places where the downtown might need aboost, but that have a lot of intrinsic value, and wherea state grant to improve the business district is likelyto have the effect of inflating residential property val-

'••'«apvTb«n»'« alao «n inherent logic to the idea that ifyour town accepts a grant from the state, it shouldplay by the state's rules.

A similar logic applies to the proposal to tie schoolfunding to affordable housing compliance. That part ofthe plan makes a certain sense — it addresses anexisting problem, which is that towns are reluctant topermit new homes that could mean new schoolchild-ren, and it rewards towns that do the right thing. Theproblem is that one agency, the board of education, isresponsible for running the local schools, while anoth-er, the town council, sets local development rules. Wecan see the proposal exacerbating tensions betweenthe two groups, which are usually present to beginwith. More importantly, it's not clear that the twoisBues should be linked. The state needs to devise afairer formula for assistance to suburban school dis-tricts. It also needs to find a way to create moreaffordable housing. Coming up with one solution tothe two problems is ingenious, but it's not necessarilywise.

Whatever the flaws of the new plan, it's very exis-tence is a good thing. Affordable housing is a genuine-ly difficult issue — avoiding unintended consequencesfor the housing market and balancing the legitimateinterests of builders, towns, school districts and tax-payers will require deft policy. But any progress mustbe rooted in a moral commitment to provide a qualityhome to all of New Jersey's residents, regardless oftheir income level. That commitment was on viewwhen the legislators unveiled their plans; we hope itdoesn't fade in the coming negotiations.

Everything I need to know, I learned on my honeymoonTHE RECORD-PRESS

I was married on Sept. 30, andfor a week and a half in earlyOctober my wife and I honey-mooned on the island of Kauai, inHawaii. Aa a public service, I offerthe following lessons learned duringthat time — all appropriate for afamily newspaper:

1. If you nave completed abreathtaking two-mile bike alongocean cliffs to a beach, and you havethe option of either returning to thestart or undertaking anotheV two-mile hike to a majestic waterfall,you may find a little man perchedon each shoulder. The man on theright says, "Majestic waterfall — gofor it!" The man on the left says,"It's already started to rain, andthere are more clouds overhead. Ifyou start this hike, you and yourbride will probably end up soaked,cold and crabby, and might evenhave to turn around without reach-ing the falls because you're worriedabout being stranded in the dark."The man on the left is wise. Youshould listen to him.

2. If you stay at a charming placecalled Birdsong Cottage, you maydiscover that the promised bird-

song includes the crowing of roost-ers — the constant crowing ofmentally-challenged roosters whodo not understand the whole sun-up thing and therefore crow roundthe dock. But it's no big deal — thecottage may also turn out to bemade almost entirely of glass, withno blinds over the transparentwalls, so it's not as though you weregoing to sleep past 6 a.m. anyway.

3. If you go camping and thinkyou have lost a key part of yourpropane stove, it's probably prudentto buy propane anyway. That way,if you discover the missing parttucked away in a side pocket whileyou are cursing your patheticattempt to start a charcoal fire inthe rain, you'll have a way to eathot food for dinner.

4. Thinking to yourself, "This left-over beef jerky and trail mix shouldhave enough calories to tide us overtill morning" may be comforting ifyou are stranded on the side of amountain awaiting helicopter res-cue. On your honeymoon, not somuch.

5. Illegally smuggling beer intoyour campsite at the state park isgreat way to make your meager din-ner taste better. But you shouldprobably bring a bottle opener, too.

You may discover that it is possibleto pry off the cap using the end of ametal water spigot. Still, the factthat you've sprayed beer in yourface in the process takes some ofthe shine off your accomplishment.

6. When selecting a lava rocktidal pool to swim in, the fact thatthere are no waves cresting over thepool at that moment does not meanthat powerful waves never crashinto the pool. Also, lava rock issharp. Fortunately, a sarong makesa handy tourniquet.

7. Underwater cameras can be agreat way to capture memories ofyour time snorkeling. Interestingly,some underwater cameras comepre-loaded with film, while othersrequire you to put the film in your-self. Be sure you know which kindyou have.

8. You'll often hear people talkingabout how expensive things are inHawaii. As it turns out, those peo- ,pie are correct. You may want to '*"spend some time making purchasesfor the government to prepare your-self for the experience of paying $4for a quart of milk.

9. Before departing, marry thewoman of your dreams. It makesthe educational process a whole lotmore fun.

Letters to the EditorEditorial cartoonwas unfair to BushTo The Record-Press:

I despise the Bush administrationand feel that its foreign policy hasexacerbated anti-American senti-ment around the globe, but I have toprotest the cartoon featured in TheRecord-Press on Nov. 9.

This cartoon portrayed PervezMusharraf with a decree of emer-gency rule in his hand and a medalreading "Bush Seal of Approval"around his neck.

All evidence leads to the conclu-sions that Bush was not in favor ofMusharraf's crackdown on democrat-ic institutions in Pakistan and, infact, worked behind the scenes toameliorate the situation.

Parties should uniteto fight against cell towerTo The Record-Press:

As a homeowner living on thestreet where a 13-story cell towermay some day be looming over me, Iwas happy to read in the newspaperthat newly elected CranfordTownship Commissioner MarthaGarcia stated that she will be joiningour resistance against it.

I hope that the four otherRepublican Township Committeemembers will agree to do the same.That will mean that this is an issueon which Republicans and Democratswill be working together to do theright thing for local residents.

Foreach pound lost, plan to drinktwo additional cups of waterduring or after your next ses-sion. If you gained weight dur-ing that workout, you drank toomuch, which can disturb thebody's sodium balance.

of paintings with paper and small sculptures thatare all "fleet of foot" — each has a foot somewhere

it. For Shapiro, the works consist of muted-mediaand baskets with handmade paper as well as two box

assemblages. The show is titled "Fapermataa" becauseWillner and Shapiro teach papermaking together at theNew Jersey Center for Visual Arts in Summit and theNewark Museum.

Shapiro has been an artist all her life. A resident ofWatchung, she began her artistic career as a printmakerbut has moved to papermaking over the last two decades.

Shapiro has also worked at Union County College withteen arts programs and is active with the Long BeachIsland Foundation for the Arts.

Willner, a resident of Maplewood, began her artisticcareer by producing oil paintings. Ten years ago she

began printmaking, a process which involves carving awood-block etching or a linoleum print and then

moving to reproduction. Each time a print iscreated, a new plate is inked and a fresh

piece of paper is applied, producing a mir-ror image. By working with paper

while creating such prints, she devel-oped an interest in making her own

paper.The show's opening receptionwill be held from 6-8 p.m.

Wf, SP-F football advance to state semisSPORTS EDITOR

Westfield High School's and Scotch Plains-FanwoodHigh School's varsity football teams took their first stepstoward winning state titles last Saturday as they eachwon their respective quarterfinal home gatees andadvanced to play in the semifinals, which are Scheduledfor tomorrow aftdiuOAn.

Westfield defeated Bayonne 21-8 at Kehler Stadiumwhile SP-F took care of Colonia, 19-13, at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School.

The Raiders used their defense to defeat Colonia,which turned the ball over eight times during the game.Senior linebacker Keith Baker caused the two biggestturnovers though, as he intercepted a pass and came upwith two sacks on Colonia's final drive to secure the victo-ry for SP-F.

Prior to Baker's stops, Colonia had cut what was a 19-0 SP-F lead to just six points with a feverish fourth quar-ter 13-point scoring run.

The Raiders gained that 19-0 lead during the secondquarter, as their defense scored twice off of turnovers dur-ing the quarter. SP-F's first score came from junior line-backer Tim Green, who turned a fumble recovery into a59-yard touchdown scamper to give the Raiders a 6-0advantage. And after an extra point by junior place kick-er John Domanski, SP-F led, 7-0.

SP-F's second defensive score came from junior defen-sive back Mike Ferrara, who intercepted a pass andreturned it 36 yards for a score to increase the lead evenmore (13-0).

And the Raiders weren't done there, as senior defensivelineman Jason BofF recovered a Colonia fumble on the 45yard line for the SP-F offense. The offense then took fulladvantage, putting together a seven-play drive that ended

4 with a four-yard touchdown run by junior running backAnthony Taylor. The Raiders not only received great rush-ing on the drive but also great passing, as senior quarter-back Mike Chervenyak hit senior wide receiver J.J.Dagostaro for a 23-yard gain on the sixth play of the drive.

Taylor's touchdown run completed the 19-point runduring the quarter, which held up for most of the gamethanks to Baker and his defensive unit.

With the win, fourth-seeded SP-F improved to 7-2 over-all for the season and, more importantly, advanced to playhost to eighth-seeded South Plainfield, which upset num-ber one seeded Irvington last 'weekend, tomorrow at 1p.m. at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in the North2, Group 3 state semifinals.

Westfield also advanced to the state semifinals in itsbracket, the North 2, Group 4 section, after it defeatedBayonne 21-8 in the quarterfinals. And like the Raiders, itwas the Blue Devils' defense that led the way to a victory.

The Blue Devils held the Bees scoreless for most of thegame, as its 4-4 unit came up with clutch stops through-out to preserve the victory.

In fact, the Bees didn't even score until late in thefourth quarter (4:04 remaining in the game), when theoutcome was 'well decided.

Westfield's defense was led by its defensive line (sen-iors John Dugan, Ryan Scanlon, John Dilorio and sopho-more Willie Johnson), linebackers (seniors Joe Vall-llobera, Scott Newman and Mike Wikander and junior T. J.Mruz) and secondary (seniors Dan Selert, Charlie Readand Emanuel Mills).

"Our defense really stepped it up," said Westfield headcoach Jim DeSarno after the game. "We knew thatBayonne had a good running game so we knew that wewanted to control the defensive line and the kids reallydid that well."

Also playing well for Westfield was its offense, whichput together three solid drives during the first, third andfourth quarters to open up a 21-0 lead.

Westfield's first scoring drive began at the end of thefirst quarter and ended almoBt midway through the sec-ond, taking up almost nine minutes of clock while span-ning 80 yards. The drive, which took 15 plays, featured agreat balance of passes and runs.

Junior quarterback Anthony Dilorio and junior run-

ning back Ricardo Johnson were key contributors on thedrive. Dilorio was 4-for-4 for 44 yards through the airwhile Johnson carried seven times for 30 yards, includinga two-yard touchdown plunge to put Westfield ahead, 6-0.In addition junior wide receivers Jihad Billups, ChrisSheehan and senior fullback Ryan Brand all caught pass-es during the drive. And after an extra point by juniorplace kicker Michael Clark was good, the Blue Devils led,7-0.

"That drive was important for our offense becausewe've had some difficulty this year scoring in the red zonethis year but that was truly a complete drive and veryimportant for setting the tone for the rest of the game,"DeSarno said.

The Blue Devils' defense made sure that score held upand more, as it held the Bees scoreless for the remainderof the first half, including a clutch four-down stand mid-way through the second quarter with the Bees startingtheir drive at the 12 yard line. Thanks to that stop andone other before the end of the first half the Blue Devilsled 7-0 at halftime.

Westfield's offense added to that lead on its second pos-session of the second half, as it traveled 20 yards in sixplays to make the score 14-0 midway through the thirdquarter.

Dilorio and Johnson again were the catalysts for theBlue Devils, as Johnson's rushing set up a great playaction fake and an 11-yard touchdown pass from Dilorioto Sheehan. And after another Clark extra point,Westfield led, 14-0.

WHS boys soccerfalls in states, 1-0SPORTS EDITOR

The Westfield High School varsity boys soccer team felt,1-0, to Columbia Friday afternoon in the North 2, Group 4sectional final at Cameron Field in Maplewood. The sec-ond-seeded Blue Devils, who had defeated seventh-seededElizabeth and third-seeded Bridgewater-Raritan toadvance to the final, gave up a goal late in the second halfto the number one seeded Cougars.

Despite the toss, Westfield got a great performancefrom senior co-captain goaltender Greg O'Brien, whomade six saves during the contest.

"Greg is one of the best goaltenders in the state," saidWestfield head coach George Kapner after the game,which ended his team's stellar 2007 campaign. "He hasbeen the base of what has been our team's biggeststrength this season, our defense."

The Blue Devils gave up only 12 total goals and notmore than one in any single game during the 2007 season,an incredible feat for a team that dealt with injuries allseason long.

"We had guys playing hurt for us and they gave it theirall," Kapner said. "And I am very proud of the way ourguys played all season long."

The Blue Devils were led by senior co-captain MattGralla and seniors Dan Strauss, Brandon Heroux, MikeRediker and Chris Franks.

Also contributing for Westfield this season were juniorsMike Forgash, Malcolm Opoku, Mike Irving, PatrickTresnan, Vlad Bouchouev, Justin Ramalho, Zach Connolly,Tom McManus, Nick Breza, Kevin Murphy, Andy Flood,Matt Karnofsky, Todd Saunders, Matt Isabella andMichael Lessner and sophomore goaltender Adam Fine.

The guys played hard, but they were a good team andwere able to capitalize on the chances that they had,"Kapner said. "But it was a great season for us and ourplayers should be very proud of all they accomplished."

SP-F girls soccerfalls short in statesSPORTS EDITOR

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School varsity girlssoccer team fell, 1-0, to West Morris-Mendham in theGroup 3, Section 2 championship Thursday afternoon atScotch Plains-Fanwood High School.

The Raiders, who were seeking their second straightsectional title, had their opportunities during the gamebut the bounces just didn't go their way.

"I am very proud of our girls' efforts," said SP-F headcoach Kevin Ewing afterwards. "They played well butMendham took us out of our game and was able to takeadvantage of the opportunities they had."

SP-F had two opportunities to score early on during thegame, as senior tri-captain Bridget Cornwell and juniorKatie Cornacchia each hit the crossbar of the goal withinthe first 10 minutes.

And unfortunately for the Raiders hitting the crossbarbecame a theme later on, too, as senior tri-captain MollyMeehan just missed tying the game during stoppage timewhen he penalty kick attempt hit the crossbar.

"Sometimes those things happen," Ewing said. "Butthese girls had a very successful season this year."

They certainly did. In addition to finishing 18-3-3 over-all, the Raiders were the Union County Tournamentchampions for the second straight year.

SP-F was led by its senior tri-captains (Cornwell, MollyMeehan and Alana Bencivengo) and seniors TylerDelMauro, Alyssa Straniero, Emily Meehan and Sam

improve from a steadyunleaahing of pent-updemand, and from a wideabundance of safer mort-gageproducts.

"The level of pent-updemand reaching the mar-ket nest year is a bituncertain, and it is possi-ble for even higher homesales activity than we'reforecasting if buyersregain their confidenceabout the long-term bene-fits of homeownership,"Yun said. "Over the nearterm, home sales are like-ly to be fairly flat as thelingering impact of thecredit crunch filtersthrough the systemthrough the end of theyear."

The Pending HomeSales Index, a forward-looking indicator based oncontracts signed inSeptember, rose 0.2 per-cent to a reading of 85.7from an index of 85.5 inAugust. It was 20.4 per-cent lower than theSeptember 2006 level of107.6. "Even with relative-ly low fourth quartersales, 2007 will be the fifthhighest year on record forexisting-home sales. Themedian existing-homeprice in 2007 will havefallen by less than 2 per-cent from an all-time highset in 2006," Yun said.

The PHSI in theNortheast, dropped 10.1

percent in September to69.5 and is 23.1 percentbelow September 2006.

In the Midwest, theindex rose 6.4 percent inSeptember to 82.3 but is14.4 percent below a yearago. In the South, thePHSI increased 1.5 per-cent to 99.3 but is 19.7percent lower thanSeptember 2006. Theindex in the West slipped0.1 percent in Septemberto 80.5 and is 25.6 percentbelow a year ago.

Existing-home sales areprojected at 5.67 millionthis year, edging up to5.69 million in 2008, incomparison with 6.48 mil-lion in 2006, which wasthe third-highest year onrecord. Existing-homeprices are expected todecline 1.7 percent to amedian of $218,200 for allof this year and holdessentially even in 2008 at$218,300.

"Some markets are stillgoing strong, such asAustin and Raleigh, whileothers are showing earlysigns of recovery, likeDenver and Boston.However, a vast portion ofthe nation's mid section isunderpriced in relation toincome, and prices in somemarkets could rise notablywith good local job gains,"Yun said. "At the sametime, a significant rise inforeclosures in some areas

could delay the recovery.'New-home sales will

probably total 796,000 in2007 and 693,000 nextyear, below the 1.05 mil-lion laat year; no realimprovement is aeen fornew homes until 2009,according to the NAR.Because builders havemade drastic cuts in pro-duction, housing starts,including multifamilyunits, are forecast at 1.35million this year and 1.14million in 2008, down from1.80 million in 2006. Themedian new-home price isestimated to drop 1.6 per-cent to $242,500 in 2007before rising 0.4 percent to$243,600 in 2008.

"Contrary to percep-tions, conventional mort-gages are widely availableat favorable interest ratesfor the bulk of home buy-ers," Yun said. "The pric-ing and availability ofjumbo mortgages hasimproved, and FHA loansfor home purchases — up58 percent in the thirdquarter — are replacingsubprime mortgages toserve the needs of low- andmoderate-income buyers."

The 30-year fixed-ratemortgage should riseslowly to the 6.6 percentrange by the end of nextyear, although cuts in theFed funds rate will helpshort-term interest rates,the NAR anticipates.
