When will the home forclosure problem get fixed?
my dad says that it will take 2 to 3 years for home prices for home prices to come back to their value of what they should be, what do you think, we lost more than 100,000 in our property value not counting the interest we paid to the bank.

whats funny is that we were part of the problem, I think that we should punish greenspan for not doing anything about the bubble, and then after the problem was there, he just left and made bernenke handle the problem

it will take another year at least until prices bottom out and then prices will probably go up a lot slower than they did in that the last housing boom - it may take 10 years to recoup a 100,000 drop in value

There are 2 problems. First, we need to fix the liquidity problem so that people with good credit can get loans.

Second is the inventory problem. The last few years builders have been building new subdivisions and contractors have been converting and building condos like crazy. If nobody wants to buy them to live in, they can always be sold to investors. All of a sudden, everybody realized that there was an oversupply. Think of it like a store that discovers that it has too much stuff on the shelves in inventory so it has a sale and reduces prices to get rid of the old stuff. That's where we are with the housing industry. We have to wait until there aren't so many unsold homes on the market.

It may indeed take that long. When all the buyers that could not afford a house using traditional financing and had to resort to exotic products such as neg am and interest only lose their houses, then the housing market will recover. Such an influx of buyers all at once pushed the market up and up and then the credit crunch hit and popped the bubble. It may take a few year or it may take longer.

Current prices while depressed from recently, may be more appropriately described as normal.
That is, they are no longer showing excessive optimism, much more realistic.

High prices, and particularly prices running away from the average would be home buyer have to have a correction, back to reality.

Extremely low interest rates could artificially rebuild prices, but that would set us up for another correction.

the problem won't be fixed until prices fall enough for buyers to come back. that could be another year or more. however that doesn't mean people who bought at the top of the market in 2006 will make their equity back. There was so much speculation in the market, and so many buyers with borderline credit (or worse) because credit was so easy. In those markets could be 10 years before those market highs are reached again. If you think that's crazy, think back to the stock market bubble in 2000. the Nasdaq market is still down about 50% from the high in 2001.

Not anytime soon. Until individuals take personal responsibility for the contracts they sign and until tighter underwriting standards take effect, this problem will not go away. There are plenty of adjustable-rate mortgages just waiting for their fully-indexed rates to take effect over the next two years.

Your dad did NOT lose $100,000 in interest or value in the house you just purchased, unless he purchased it for the investment value because he wanted to flip it. Many people buy homes to live in, not to flip for quick investment returns. Those people have little to worry about.

From everything I read, foreclosures are expected to continue to rise through 2009. Property values are expected to continue falling.

I subscribe to several Financial Newsletters, and all of them say that Real Estate could lose as much as 80% of its value. It has already lost about 40% of its value on average.

The 80% figure seems outlandish, but, it happened in Japan starting in the early 1990's. Real Estate dropped in value by about 80% over 15 years.

I think the next 3 years will be rough for Real Estate. However, if a person has cash, they could position themselves for great wealth.
