The key is downpayment. The lack of a downpayment and stated income loans is what drove prices up. This enabled unemployed delinquents and speculators to just make bids and purchase property with reckless abandon. Now that downpayments and documentation of income are required, demand has of course gone to zero and prices will reset to 2001 levels (i.e. correction of the 2003 Real estate peak cycle). The appreciation from 2003-2005 is pure vapor and shouldn’t even exist absent loose lending.

November 28, 2007 at 10:05 AM #104311AnonymousGuestAnd yet, people are still buying. I just saw a house I was eyeing, just to see how it depreciates, and now it’s pending. I cringe every time I see a house go “Pending”, granted some of these do fall out of pending, but some don’t. These are the people that are making the market stabilize at a much slower pace.
