Foreclosure drops - 0 views

  •  
    This article outlines the decrease in availability in foreclosure (aka mortgage, a real estate loan) in the area of Charlotte. As the availability of credit is a non-price determinant of demand, the demand curve has shifted to the left, which has changed the point of market equilibrium (when one graphs the price against the quantity of houses), and thus, the supply of houses in the area. This example clearly displays how shifts in the demand curve affect the overall market equilibrium, through the nature of the price mechanism.

    This whole article is just a review of what was said by an economist. The part I found especially important is towards the end of the first page, where he talks about how aggregate supply is sometime undervalued. The Commerce Department generally does not report on the aggregate supply, but rather they focus on aggregate demand. For the aggregate supply. the work actually needs to get done for it to happen. The work being labour and productivity.
