USA Housing Market
Atlantic Investment Corporatio
When the Atlantic Investment Corporation began it's interest in the housing market, there were very few companies to choose from. The recent week and a half has seen an EXPLOSIVE increase of companies and employees in the housing market. Most companies averaged about 15 or so employees, but a few companies have sprung up over night with huge numbers of employees. Almost seemingly pulling them out of thin air.
It seemed the housing market was very advantageous a few weeks ago, with only a handful of companies. Pricing could be marked up unusually higher than normal market prices. Normal housing Q1 housing was around 200 USD. In the recent weeks we've seen prices as high as 400 USD. Giving exponential potential with profits. Prices today (Day 257, August 3rd) averaged roughly around 347.50USD. That is a 75% mark up from the original pricing.
These prices are making it exceptionally difficult for beginner players to acquire their very own living quarters. But none the less these above normal prices are still selling. While demand seemingly is very high, prices will remain high.
With these high prices comes higher salaries and we've seen employees being taken from other companies with high wages offered and better benefits. It is interesting to see the salaries offered and benefits that each company is offering.
Employees in the housing market are finding the job market lucrative with the salaries being offered higher than normal. This is great for the employees, but I predict that in the coming weeks as skill increases dramatically that housing output for Q1 housing will rise with it. As these productions are met, the cost for housing will fall quickly in the coming weeks with more and more companies selling. To be competitive with pricing prices should fall back to normal soon.
Many of the large companies with lucrative wages will soon find themselves losing money quicker than they are making. Employees also will grumble as the avg salary drops back to normal ranges as well. It will be an interesting couple of weeks to see which companies will emerge from the inflated housing market that is about to come. Those companies that are patient and keep an eye on the ever growing house market should do well. Keep a close eye on your coffers, while others are slowly cut out of the housing market.

Great analysis.
truth
OMG WTF!
ok seriously now this is a huge problem. While i was on vacation i had no chance to be vocal about the housing situation, but here\'s the basic idea.... CREATING MORE COMPANIES IS NOT THE ANSWER.... especially employee stealing is not the answer. when this kind of things happen, employee wages NEVER go down, because a precedent has been set. employee wages keep going up, productivity is divided, less houses are produced because of the new companies, and then finallyhouse prices have to go up in order to make at least a small profit to make up from the higher employee wages.
NEW COMPANIES ARE NOT THE ANSWER!
so this article is not that great of an analysis, and does not speak truth.
sorry if I\'m being crass, but America has been through this situation many times
it will even itself out. when one sector of the economy is making super normal profits (that is any profit and not breaking even) new firms will enter the market. these new firms will increase the supply. as a result, prices will drop and profits will follow suit. the small start up companies will begin losing money. once these small firms decide to exit the market (close down) the supply will decrease. this reduction in supplies will lead to higher prices. as a result of the increased prices, profits will rise. then the cycle starts all over again.
so in fact, this article does speak the truth. and your insight on america being in this situation before further reinforces my point and the point of this article.
free markets are the only markets that will behave in this exact manor. it would take restriction on the market for these fluctuations to not occur. examples would be government requiring permits and only issuing a limited amount which would control who can and cannot enter the market and how many firms can be in the market at any given time. requiring an exorbitant amount of start up capital is another restriction that would keep these fluctuations from happening. and least we forget monopolies and oligopolies. but, since this game is clearly based on free markets and capitalism, we must all ride out the booms and busts and hope that we have invested our money wisely so that we can stay afloat.
