Earlier this month, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke highlighted the risk that the sinking housing market could put a dent in U.S. economic growth in the second half of the year. Mr. Bernanke, answering questions after a speech in Washington, said the housing sector is undergoing a "substantial correction" that will likely shave about one percentage point off of the nation's growth in the second half, "and probably something going into next year as well," estimates close to private forecasters' views. But he also said it is tough to predict how the weakness will impact the overall economy.

Reverse Gold Rush, from Retailtrafficmag.com, reports that with cheaper housing and job growth to be found in the rest of the Southwest, Californians are conducting a reverse gold rush to Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. According to the University of Southern California Office of Demographic Research, 250,000 Californians move out of California each year. That's what's behind projections that the population in Arizona will double in the next 25 years, growing from 5.7 million to 10.7 million. In fact, three out of five new residents moving to Las Vegas and Phoenix each year come from California. In addition, many California based companies are moving their operations out of state to Arizona and Nevada because of their proximity to California, allowing these companies to move products quickly to California markets and executives to fly in and out in a day. Reza Etedali, CEO for Irvine based Reza Investment Group, expects this trend to continue for the foreseeable future. "Over the next 10 years, there will be incredible growth in the Southwest," he predicts, noting that about one-third of his clients are now looking for opportunities outside the state. "The region could go through ups and downs, but long term, it's poised to grow."
