South California home sales up 50 percent but prices fall

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - December home sales in Southern California jumped 50.5 percent from the year earlier, but the median price fell 34.6 percent to $278,000 as shoppers snapped up foreclosed properties, MDA DataQuick said on Monday.
The area's median price, which reflects the midpoint of sale prices, hit $505,000 in mid-2007, DataQuick said.
A total of 19,926 new and resale homes and condominiums sold last month in the six-county region that is the most heavily populated area in the state of California.
The area, including such cities as Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside, recorded 13,240 sales during December 2007.
The median price paid for homes sold in Southern California hit $278,000 in December, down from $425,000 in December 2007.
DataQuick said the drop in the median price "overstates the decline in home values" since more affordable homes in the foreclosure-hit inland markets accounted for a large portion of sales.
Regionwide, foreclosure resales accounted for 55.7 percent of December's resales, up from 24.3 percent in December 2007.
California's residential real estate market was one of the most expensive in the United States during the years-long housing bubble. The state is now struggling with one of the nation's highest foreclosure rates after many buyers got in over their heads with debt. Continued...

Congrats again. I am just thrilled about holding this one. I wish I would have kept the other twenty thousand I had an sold in December. Oh well it was a profit but no like it is now. Keep looking for the fifty and then the dollar and then the moon. LOL Thanks for the updates Anrhony. I will see if we can get some more momo in it. Dave
I don't like this 37/45 bid ask...
I know everyday $1 seems to get closer. I'm just watching for it to not get too far out of the top bollinger.
I wonder what the record is for the most white candles in a row is?! A breakout to $1.00 could be coming soon IMO.
Cool:) Up 14c now in the last hour... right at 50ema. Looking good!
Thanks for the update Anthony I have been on the road all day today and it looks the same for the morning. Slow but steady wins the race and fills the gap as we go up. at this rate we will be over fifty by the end of January and that is without ant news. Yeehaw.
Another nice day, some buying at eod got us a 1c appreciation and the ask even flashed .32 momentarily..:)
I like the way it did it slowly and and I think that is a big possibly for the break now.
Now we're at the 50sma and close to the 50ema, if we can break .32c and keep going, we'll start to attract more attn:)
Nice day here today and held the .30 into the close Great little stock on the move here. Keep up the great work to all the longs.
It must seem ridiculous to Schnitzer to file for $408 worth of shares...

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WITH MARC D. SCHNITZER
___________________________________________
2009 Technical Amendment for Compliance
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
___________________________________________
WHEREAS, Centerline Affordable Housing Advisors LLC (“Company”) and Marc D. Schnitzer (“Executive”) entered an Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) effective January 1, 2007; and
WHEREAS, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code”) imposes a 20% tax plus interest and other penalties on employees who collect compensation, severance pay, or reimbursements pursuant to employment agreements that do not conform with the specific time of payment provisions required under Code Section 409A; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned parties to the Agreement have mutually agreed that the Agreement should be amended, effective January 1, 2009, to comply with Code Section 409A and the final regulations that become effective on such date.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive, acknowledging due and adequate consideration for this 2009 Technical Amendment for Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Amendment”), do hereby agree as follows:
1. Everywhere in the Agreement, the Company’s former name, “CharterMac Capital LLC,” shall be replaced with “Centerline Affordable Housing Advisors LLC.”
2. Everywhere in the Agreement, the phrases “termination of Executive’s employment,” “termination,” “termination of the Executive” or “end of his employment” shall mean Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and any successor thereto) with the Company or any affiliate. Pursuant to such Treasury Regulation and for purposes of this paragraph:
(a) The term “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth under Code Sections 414(b) and (c), provided that fifty (50) percent shall replace eighty (80) percent each place it appears (i) in Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of Code Section 414(b), and (ii) in Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of Code Section 414(c).
(b) A “separation from service” will be deemed to occur if the Company and Executive reasonably anticipate that Executive shall perform no further services for the Company (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) or that the level of bona fide services Executive will perform in the future (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than twenty (20) percent of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period.
(c) If Executive is on an authorized, bona fide leave of absence, Executive shall experience a “separation from service” on the first day of the seventh (7th) month of such leave, unless Executive’s right to reemployment with the Company is provided either by statute or contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that Executive will return to perform services for the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of the 36-month period described above, (a) if Executive is on a paid bona fide leave of absence, Executive is treated as providing bona fide services at a level of services equal to that which Executive would have been required to perform to receive the compensation paid during the leave of absence, and (b) unpaid bona fide leaves of absence are disregarded.
3. Section 3(a) of the Agreement shall be amended by revising the first sentence such that the phrase “payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s procedures” is replaced with the phrase “per annum payable in equal bi-weekly installments.”
4. Section 3(b) of the Agreement shall be amended such that the phrase “or at such earlier or later time as the Compensation Committee shall determine” at the end of the third sentence is replaced with “or at such earlier time as the Compensation Committee shall determine.”
5. Section 3(j) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following new sentence immediately at its end:
Executive shall apply for all reimbursements hereunder for a particular calendar year not later than the end of the following calendar year, and payment shall occur not later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year to which the reimbursable expenses relate.
6. Sections 4(d), 4(e), and 4(f) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following new paragraph immediately at its end:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection: (i) the form of Release that the Company requires as a condition for severance benefits to Executive hereunder shall be delivered in final form by the Company to Executive within ten (10) days after Executive’s termination of employment; (ii) the time period within which Executive must deliver an executed Release (in such form as the Company has provided) to the Company ends 60 days after Executive’s termination of employment; and (iii) the Company’s payment of any severance benefits due upon receipt of Executive’s executed Release shall occur within 75 days after Executive’s termination of employment (subject to Section 10(e) of the Agreement).
7. Section 4(d) of the Agreement shall be amended be deleting its third sentence and by replacing that sentence with the following (in order to track the time periods and right to cure provisions set forth in the “good reason” safe harbor set forth in final Code Section 409A regulations):
Executive may resign if Good Reason exists, and shall do so by providing written notice thereof to the Company not less than ten (10) days after the end of the 30-day cure period that is set forth within the “Good Reason” definition under Exhibit A hereof (as amended hereby); provided such resignation may not occur more than two (2) years after the initial existence of the condition that gives rise to the Good Reason.
8. Section 4(f) of the Agreement shall be amended by revising clause (iii) of its first sentence such that the phrase “a cash payment shall be made in lieu of such benefits” is replaced with “a cash payment shall be made monthly in lieu of such benefits.”
9. Section 10(f) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following sentence to the end the paragraph:
Any amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Section 10(f) shall be paid to the Executive no later than the end of the calendar year following the end of the calendar year to which the income relates.
10. Section 11(e) of the Agreement shall be amended by deleting its fourth sentence (which begins “Nevertheless, if the Company reasonably determines. . .”), and by replacing that sentence with the following sentences:
If, at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2)), the Company will not pay or provide any “Specified Benefits” (as defined herein) during the six-month period (the “409A Suspension Period”) beginning immediately after the Executive’s Separation from Service. For purposes of this Agreement, “Specified Benefits” are any amounts or benefits that would be subject to Code Section 409A penalties if the Company were to pay them, pursuant to this Agreement, on account of the Executive’s Separation from Service.
11. Section 11(e) of the Agreement shall be further amended by revising the start of the former fifth sentence of its first paragraph, such that the phrase “As soon as reasonably practicable” is replaced with the phrase “Within fourteen (14) days”.
12. Section 11(e) of the Agreement shall be further amended by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after its first paragraph:
All payments and benefits being provided pursuant to this Agreement are intended to comply with (or be exempt from) Code Section 409A, and the Company shall have complete discretion to interpret and construe this Agreement and any associated documents in any manner that establishes an exemption from (or otherwise conforms them to) the requirements of Code Section 409A. If, for any reason including imprecision in drafting, the Agreement does not accurately reflect its intended establishment of an exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, the provision shall be considered ambiguous and shall be interpreted by the Company in a fashion consistent herewith, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right to unilaterally amend this Agreement without the consent of any Executive in order to accurately reflect its correct interpretation and operation, as well as to maintain an exemption from or compliance with Code Section 409A. Furthermore, with respect to any and all reimbursements to which Executive may be entitled under this Agreement, Executive shall apply for reimbursement not later than one year after incurring the underlying expense, and payment shall occur as soon as practicable thereafter, but not later than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which Executive applies for reimbursement.
13. All other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, subject only to the specific changes set forth above.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned parties to the Agreement hereby agree to and execute this Amendment, effective January 1, 2009.

Explanation of Responses:
I am looking for a pullback at the .32 to .35 unless there is some kinda news. We will have to wait and see though. All and all it is doing great and would love to see another week like this. Great job too the many longs here.
What a great week here! We are one penny away from the .29 50 day moving average! Hopefully the long white candles will continue next week!
I has been an excellent week and the .28 close is a bonus on the week. this has more good candles than on my birthday cake next B/day. I I can say is it is a hold to the .40 now.
I see what you mean, the L2's are a good way to check for otc upgrade...
A good week for CLNH though:) moving to the 50ema @ 40c with healthy volume.
Sounds fine and I reckon this board'll get busier towards the middle of the year...
Yes sir I had seen that and thats why I mentioned it. Apparently they will run and may use the symbol later so it might be worth a couple flips here and there. We are looking forward to having you help post as I am always driving and Steve is always working. Keep up the great job of updates and be ready for the uplisting also here soon. I keep checking the daily list and the SEC but just not yet.
Hi guys, thanks:) I like Centerline for 2009, with a real estate/housing/economic turnaround this year, we should be sitting pretty.
AMOA is only for curiousity purposes. In their November pr they said the shares would probably "be worthless".
Welcome aboard as a Mod, Tony!
Be careful with the amoa as it is supposed to be liquidated. that may change though. Great day here on the clnh and it is doins so well. By the way look at the moderators as you are now drafted and doing such a great JOB> Thanks as Steve and I have been working too hard lately. Keep up the great work. Dave and Steve.
Centerline's AMOA up 1328% today.

Thanks for all the great work and the chart. This baby is primed and we don't even have news yet. Higher highs everyday,
Breakout confirmed, link back for chart.
Stochastics entering power zone. Holding my position.

I agree wholly with you and it just keeps getting greener everday. It is a hold for the year for me.
This will be trading in the .40's by the end of the week IMO and I think it is still undervalued at that price.
Man this puppy is hot it is at .21 with a high of .23 great job all on this one and hold it tight.
I agree aqua I am holding for the .30 plus again. Should see news soon on the uplist also. Congrats to those that diid well on this Increase. Dave
Only in for a quick trade.
If it drops again, you should consider buying back in again IMO. I think this should be trading much higher.
Out CLNH 27%

Looks like I bought in near the bottom! The chart looks good for a nice rebound! This stock is still way undervalued IMO.
Breakout possible..we need a little volume.

Yes sir and the banks will all be up in 6 months if history is correct. The sector that drops the market always increases by 50 % in 6 months. That is 14 out of 14 times the market has dropped over history. LOL good stock here.
There;s lots of good upside here, Dave!
Congrats to all the .155 now.
This is definately a good stock to own for 2009!
