Leave a comment

We analyze several housing market indicators in order to present an in-depth breakdown of Antioch Ca Homes for Sale Market comparing December 2008 to December 2009.

Summary of Key Points

Antioch Ca Homes for Sale market has taken a major hit from last year

Median Sales Price (+4.91%), Median Days on Market (-39.95%), and Number of Units Sold (-51.63%)

Big Picture: Out of 20 cities analyzed in the East Bay, Antioch suffered the largest decline in the number of units sold

Antioch Ca Homes for Sale

The city of Antioch experienced a 4.91% increase in median sales price from last year going up from $205,565 (Dec. 08) to $215,660 (Dec. 09). This modest increase in median sales price might at first glance seem like good news for Antioch however, when compared alongside median days on market and number of units sold, we realize that it is not so simple. Median days on market for a house in the city of Antioch for December 08 was 52 days compared to a meager 31 days in December 09 and number of units sold have taken a major beating going down by more than half from 306 units in Dec 08 to 148 units in Dec 09. The increase in median sales price coupled with a 39.95% decrease in median days on market should theoretically spell good news but a 51.63% drop in units sold says otherwise. The increase in sales price in this case dissuaded buyers from purchasing new homes.

There is good news for neighboring city Brentwood because Brentwood Ca Homes for Sale saw a modest increase in median sales price of 1.03% and a semi-dramatic increase in units sold of 24.49%. Neighbor Concord also witnessed a small increase of 1.15% in median sales price but Concord Ca Homes for Sale suffered pretty much the same fate as Antioch with a drop of 13.07% in the number of units sold.

San Jose CA Homes for Sale Market Comparison Report (December 2009 vs. December 2008)

Leave a comment

We analyze several housing market indicators in order to present an in-depth breakdown of San Jose Ca Homes for Sale Market comparing December 2008 to December 2009.

Summary of Key Points

San Jose Ca Homes for Sale market experienced an increase in median sales prices however the number of units sold was down from last year

Median Sales Price (+16.76%), Median Days on Market (-43.15%), and Number of Units Sold (-16.78%)

Big Picture: Out of 11 cities analyzed in SF South Bay, San Jose was part of the majority of cities that posted a decline in number of units sold

San Jose Ca Homes for Sale

The city of San Jose experienced a 16.76% increase in median sales price from last year going up from $415,363 (Dec. 08) to $484,976 (Dec. 09). In addition, San Jose ca homes also experienced a very drastic drop in median days on market. The days on market for a house in San Jose was almost cut in half dropping from 111 days to 63 days (-43.15%). So, there is a pretty significant increase in median sales price, median days on market has fallen dramatically, San Jose must be doing really well! Well it’s not so simple. Though the aforementioned statistics did show a marked improvement, the end result was in fact a decline in the total number of units sold. In the city of San Jose 584 units were sold in Dec 08 and 486 units were sold in Dec 09 (a visible drop of 16.78%). One reason for the drop could be the increase in median sales price. Perhaps buyers are not ready for a hike in home prices. Another reason can be ascertained if we compare Sale Price/List Price Ratios. During the month of December in 2008 homes were being sold for 98% of list price whereas in December 2009 homes were being sold above list price, more specifically 101% of list price. Thus, number of units sold could have fallen because buyers are not willing to pay above list price.

Morgan Hill, a neighboring city to San Jose suffered the same exact fate. Morgan Hill ca homes for sale saw an increase in median sales price (2.17%) and a decrease in median days on market (21.51%), however the number of units sold experienced a sharp drop (57.14%). Los Gatos, another neighboring city, suffered a sharp decline of 27.05% in median sales price.

Market Research Report Provides Best Practices For Authoring in Global Communications

Leave a comment

The process of global content creation is complex. Content source optimization requires the author be clear and concise, use correct terminology, avoid national or cultural references in verbal or graphical imagery, and comply with international style guides. Market research firm Common Sense Advisory surveyed and interviewed dozens of global product manufacturers on their authoring technologies, processes, and tools for its authoring best practices research report, “Content Source Optimization.”

The report highlights organizational change, process improvements, and technology solutions among advanced global content producers, many of whom employ more than 50 authors on internal teams. Leading practitioners have begun to adopt tools for source optimization, including terminology development and style guide checkers (used by 30% of respondents). Fewer companies systematize multilingual terminology management (13%); “authoring memory” software is used in only 17% of the advanced authoring environments examined. Common Sense Advisory found that glaring gaps still exist in the software solutions due the early stage of market development, but also stemming in part from confused goals and inadequate planning among information producers.

Comments report lead analyst, Ben Sargent, “Tools that help content creators do better work, increase efficiency, and collaborate across regions, languages, and corporate functions are badly needed. But to succeed, the organizational and process barriers between technical authoring, marketing, and translation must be broken down.”

The findings from the research show that quality and price are key drivers for content source optimization:

* Companies seeking to reduce the cost of customer support were 14 times more likely to favor technology implementation over other approaches.

* To reduce cost of translation, information producers were four times more likely to favor training and professional development over other approaches.

* To improve the quality and consistency of translated content companies flagged technology, process re-engineering, and training in nearly equal measure, indicating that no single approach gets the intended results.

But improving quality and reducing cost were not the only factors driving change. To increase agility and reduce time-to-market, companies may reform various parts of the global content creation process. For example, firms addressing markets across the European Union expand to as many as 23 languages. If their plans include Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, and East Asia, the tally quickly climbs to 35 or 40 (see “The Top 40 Global Online Brands,” Nov09). That means dozens of streams of information depend on the quality and accuracy of the original materials.

To tackle the challenges of global content creation, Common Sense Advisory recommends a six-step process:

Step 1: Find a Content Optimization Champion
Step 2: Trace “the secret life of shared words” (to map content transformations)
Step 3: Align organizational goals across multiple functions within the enterprise
Step 4: Assemble and prioritize business needs for global communications
Step 5: Determine success factors for measurement of information quality, cost, and time-to-market
Step 6: Plan the implementation (often a multi-year process)

Adds Sargent: “These six steps will go a long way toward addressing the current chaotic state of content development and translation; improving a company’s ability to forecast and direct the flow of information through an organization. But technology vendors must help information producers to bridge process gaps by unifying terminology and style guide definition and enforcement across source and target language content creation processes.”

2009-2012 Investment of China Construction Machinery Industry Analysis and Forecast Report

Leave a comment

China construction machinery industry, after a long period of development, has become able to produce 18 categories, more than 4500 kinds of specifications models, can basically meet the domestic market demand, with a considerable size and vitality of important industries to flourish.

2009 January-February, China’s construction machinery industry total industrial output value of 31.413 billion yuan, up 13.28 percent, down 25.35 percent year on year growth rate. At the same time the whole industry achieved sales output value 29.06 billion yuan, up 12.35 percent, down 38.07 percent year on year growth rate. But in February the month of view, subject to infrastructure investment, credit growth factors such as driving, engineering machinery rebound in domestic demand to drive product sales major sub-sectors, China’s domestic market rebound. February the month to complete the engineering machinery industry 17.383 billion yuan industrial output value, an increase of 39.89%. At the same time the completion of the whole industry output value of 16.982 billion yuan sales, an increase of 42.54%.

At present, China has represented multi-functional small hydraulic excavators a small construction machinery market, the total proportion of construction machinery products, and in North America, Western Europe, Japan and other developed countries and regions in comparison, there are still a wide gap.
