So, I ask again - Where is this "High Desert" area at the top of the first chart. (I'm from New Yawk). And, thanks for all the hard work. Whoops, I posted this question in the wrong area.

I have my own story as well, I tied to do the right thing and now am close to losing the 20% down I have accumulated through the course of owning and improving two other homes over the last 15 years. You should go to a site called loan safe . org there are 1000's of people struggling to come up with the right answer...either to walk, get a modification, or continue barreling down the path of bankruptcy. Some of the more unfortunate and less intelligent will fall victim and end up on the streets instead of planning to move and saving while the inevitable happens. Life is still good though, and there is a lot to be thankful for. Hi Baffen, yes life is full of strange twisty turns.

I'm thinking that'll be the ultimate success for the government. They're stalling the foreclosures and sales until they can get inflation in gear. Then the price of homes will go back up. This drives me crazy! torabora – if we have inflation, wouldn’t the price of homes rise? I’m thinking that’ll be the ultimate success for the government.

That happens at an inflection point of too much fiat money in circulation. They've been very careful not to 'print real dollars' ...the bucks are actually ones/zeros on computer screens...not much extra real paper.With the HIGH U6 rate they'll have to let real cash into the system soon or it's curtains for the donks at the polls. When they do, inflation takes off and its curtains for the donks at the polls. Karl Rove, you magnificent bastard! Frustrated…they’ll succeed until the wheels come off.

The government bought $1 trillion in MBS and banks are doing nothing about nonperforming loans. This has created the perfect formula for low supply and high demand. The tricks are working. It is clear that the government is doing everything in their power to keep the market afloat. What makes you think they will stop? This will all be on the backs of your children and future generations. It will be too detrimental to banks and economy to let the market fall. It will be years before we go below trendline. The government is letting the air out gently and succeeding. The years waiting for prices to come down will be spent renting. Either way, you are paying for a roof over your head.
