More than likely it means prices keep declining, but more slowly. We get Japan style decade plus of declining prices as the govt slows the pace of prices. Ripping of the band-aid hurts but price discovery occurs. This is an attempt to stop price discovery and prop up the banking system.
As a previous poster said, the banks aren’t going to charge back in and lend liberally again (without the cattle prod of govt up their asses.) That means for new purchases lending will continue to be tight. Maybe not as tight as it is right now, but not enough to stop the decline in prices.
