ParticipantFSD – In all seriousness, the properties banks are holding are imminently going on the market. Most have already been on the market as short sales, go off, then back on very shortly after the bank takes possession. They need to be considered as inventory. Sure people move every couple of years. Why exaggerate? There is potential for more inventory, but the banks’ properties are a sure thing. And I might add, leading the way and setting the tone for the market and pricing.

ParticipantOversupply is oversupply, whether the overhang is 3x as many as we have buyers for or 6x, the result is the same.
Buyers have options, one of which is to continue renting. The banks really don’t have options. They’re competing with each other for the limited numbers of buyers at these prices. Once the pricing drops to a rent equivalency those renters who can qualify will start jumping in. Once the prices drop below rent equivalency the long term investors will jump in.
Incidentally, a 4 year supply of homes puts us at 2012 before things stabilize. That’s a mite longer than what a lot of the bear pundits have been saying but it’s by no means extreme.

Participant2012 is just about the time patrick.net predicted:
“Baby boomers retiring. There are 77 million Americans born between 1946-1964. One-third have zero retirement savings. The oldest are 62. The only money they have is equity in a house, so they must sell. ”Hey, FSD is right. We will never be through the inventory.
