“Five years after the housing market started teetering, economists now worry that the rise in lender-owned homes could create another vicious circle, in which the growing inventory of distressed property further depresses home values and leads to even more distressed sales. With the spring home-selling season under way, real estate prices have been declining across the country in recent months.
“It remains a heavy weight on the banking system,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. “Housing prices are falling, and they are going to fall some more.”
Doom & Gloom.

If he is so sure, tell him to put a number on it. He can’t, so he won’t. He just keeps the negativity flowing, because it makes him a popular guy with reporters.
List low and the sales a go. Let buyers bid up the price.
If banks weren’t floated by our tax dollars there would be houses like this selling all over the place.
At least change is starting to happen.
Once the fed starts pushing up interest rates prices are going to fall even more.

Trusting anything Zandi and his cronies at Moody’s says is like saying the winner of Celebrity Apprentice will cure cancer.
Moodys ratings were terrible during the boom and just as ad during the bust.

I just don’t understand Mission Hills. I rent a house within a half mile of this listing. The neighborhood is nice, but the houses are small, the lots are small and the public schools aren’t great.
I know it’s close to downtown and the hospitals and the houses are ‘charming’…

Great area! I love Mission Hills. That house is located in a real quite area of MH too. Is that one a good one for a 203k?

Nice work. I’m guessing it’ll close for right near your BPO.
More bad news…..this time on the front page of the New York Times website!
