sandiego – (or anyone in a similar situation)

Any chance you’d be willing to talk more about this for a story, on or off the record?

Send me an e-mail, if so.

Thanks –

“This is misleading. It’s really the combination of declining prices AND the inability to pay.”

I agree with the article. Think about the psychology of it: Why would a buyer want to keep his home if his equity is now negative and probably won’t reverse for a long time-if ever? People aren’t going to do anything that isn’t in their own best interests. That’s what this thread is all about.

So, yeah, the bailout won’t keep the market from tanking.
