Banks’ actions provide stability now, lower prices later
By Geert De Lombaerde Posted on October 8, 2009 at 10:59 am
So says a housing market analyst in discussing the shadow inventory of homes, the massive number of troubled or foreclosed properties they will eventually have to bring back to market. The only solution? More D.C. help in stimulating demand.
“Without continued government intervention, home prices will plummet, banks and the GSEs will continue to lose money, and the economy has virtually no chance of increasing overall employment in 2010,” John Burns Real Estate said.

Housing inventory keeps building and prices keep
falling. Realtors can spin it anyway they wish
but housing prices could fall back to 2000 levels.
Stocks did that & more in their fall. Everyone
can’t afford a 3,500 sq ft home as has been
shown. Banks need to quit playing games with
their short sales and foreclosures and get to
decisions on the bad loans. The sooner balance
is achieved the better for all.
Hey, we already bailed out the big banks remember ?
They don’t give a hoot. There are tons of banks that
are going to go down, but it won’t be them.
In fact, they now have the capital to buy up
smaller guys and wait.
They will do the least they can for the homeowners
in trouble…just enough to look “good”, no more.
If 1 plus 1 still equals 2,
the FED has to go.
