This is, currently, the American Way: while Big Banks get to keep billions made off taxpayer monies, homeowners get screwed. Read about the numbers. And here's the narrative from the NYT. Home prices will continue declining as 2013 will be the worst year for foreclosures. It's patriotic to observe that the US is no longer a democracy with capitalism as prime determinant; it has devolved into a kleptocracy. Watch the sadness:
A Charlottesville/Albemarle Area RE Blog tracking the market's Boom Bubble Bust Bounce, from 2008 to 2013. The second half of 2010 saw a steep downward spiral in sales; 2011 saw sales volume at 13 yr lo with prices dropping each Quarter. 2012 began with even lower prices which resulted in an uptick in Y/Y sales, and mid-2012 saw "Carpe Diem" trumping "Caveat Emptor." 2013: Booming. Are we a "Protected Market" once again? Time will tell. * Check out the microblogging on Twitter: @CvilleBubble *
