A Bad Thing for Housing Gets Worse
The lead article in the 8/4/08 issue of The New York Times by Vikas Bajaj, “Housing Lenders Fear Bigger Wave of Loan Defaults,” comes as no surprise. Bajaj’s reporting illuminates a problem that has been apparent for a long time: foreclosures will be greater than recent estimates (now, even homeowners with good credit are finding themselves caught up in the morass) and price declines are likely to be deeper.
What is not immediately as obvious is that this bigger-than-expected wave of defaults will likely push “the bottom” out further. It’s hard to see it occurring in most markets before 2010.

Our country is in for a huge awakening. The worst is yet to come. Distressed individuals have not tapped out all of their financial resources as of yet. Wait 9 to 18 months from now, our nations economic landscape will be crazy.

It's an election year, which perhaps creates the "crisis" mentality.

The worst of the rates is less than one percent. When you get to number 10 it is less than .2 percent. Makes me wonder if this is really the crisis it is portrayed to be.
