Home Builders Take Stock
Washington Post – Jan 13, 2006
There also have been seminars on how to improve profitability, a keynote address Wednesday from former secretary of state Colin L. Powell, and opportunities to party with colleagues from around the world. The prosperity of 2005 came after four years of record-high sales, starts and home prices. Homes have grown ever larger and ever more luxurious, with a record high percentage of the population now homeowners.

Also vying for retail dollars are China’s ubiquitous street markets, or “wet markets” that sell everything from fresh fish and live chickens to mammals and reptiles for consumption. Ira Kalish, director of global economic research with Deloitte Research, said Wal-Mart can’t discount the threat from these types of local vendors either. “Chinese consumers are very sensitive to quality and freshness of food,” Kalish said. “These vendors also have extremely low overhead, so their prices are also very, very low.
