What shocking news! NOT. Seriously people we’ve been anticipating this for years. So the nationwide the number of homes moving toward foreclosure more than doubled in the first quarter from a year ago. It’s only helping us hit rock bottoms so we can start moving back up!!

Homes take 18 months on average to work through the foreclosure process.. Imagine what foreclosures will look like 18 months from now!

It’s sad, really sad, because the people that are losing these homes have names and faces. They could be your brother, your sister, your parents. Most of the time, we tend to think that the foreclosures are mainly real estate investors or flippers that are just letting their investment properties go back to the bank, but the reality is there are alot of families living without homes.

In addition to the inflated housing prices many people have taken out loans against those inflated assets–so now they’re really stuck if the value falls below what they paid for it. I think this boom was enhanced by the fed’s unwillingness to let the country fall into a deeper recession after the 2000 stock market crash by lowering interest rates to essentially zero.
