Presented by Joe Zanola. Zanola Company provides MarketGraphics© homebuilding and demographic
research for St. Louis, Central Missouri, and Southwest Missouri regions. Zanola helps civic leaders,
planners, lenders, developers, builders, and real estate professionals with guidance to create successful
business and community outcomes.

Also presented by Edsel Charles. Edsel Charles is Founder and Chairman of the Board of MarketGraphics
Research Group, Inc. a new home market research company that tracks over 19,500 active subdivisions,
which include 404,597 developed lots across 21 states.

According to a survey (known as the Beige Book) released on October 20, 2010, by the Federal Reserve, seven of the Federal Reserve’s 12 regions reported moderate improvements in business activity, while the other five are growing too sluggishly to see improvements or to reduce the joblessness number.

For the St. Louis region, economic activity expanded modestly. Factory activity increased and makers of detergent, frozen foods, transformers, plastic products, autos and parts and primary metals reported plans to expand operations and hire new workers. Service-sector businesses also saw improvements, but hotels and casinos planned to cut back and lay off workers.

Last week, Joe presented our research at the Taney County Workforce Housing Summit in Branson, Missouri.  He spoke to regional housing trends as well as local market data.  Selected slides from the presentation are below.  For questions about the information in the slides, please email team@zanolaco.com.
