GoUSCParticipant
While I do agree that the buyers are as much a part of the problem as the sellers I think that we do need to take into consideration the pressure that was put on buyers. You had brokers, mortgage brokers, the news, the Realtor Association, friends, etc. all pressuring people to buy. You were told by the main stream media that you could be priced out of the market forever…
Look I am not justifying any of this but if you are non real estate professional with friends who were all making money on RE it is very easy to understand how people made bad decisions. They were talked into complex loans where the supposide expert (aka Mortgage Broker) just fed them a line of bullshit that on face value they took for the truth. I didn’t buy a place until May of this year…but that’s because I work in RE and understood what was going on.
I understand why some of those completely underwater feel the way they do… Especially when they see the big banks getting bailed out and the execs still making millions.

GoUSCParticipantWhile I can’t condone those people that used their home as an ATM and now are defaulting… There are a group of people out there that just bought at a badtime and now are underwriter. Every day on the news they hear about the billion $+ bailouts the banks were given and how the companies are paying out huge bonuses meanwhile they sit on underwater mortgages. I can’t blame them for walking away… This problem is going to get bigger and bigger I think.

GoUSCParticipantI used a local broker with Wells Fargo. He closed a very complex FHA loan in 30 days (unheard of) and the rate was very competitive (5% back in August). The fees were also very fair (outside of FHA).
He understands the whole process to the tee and we were in contact with him and his processor every day. I have since referred him to quite a few people and they have all been VERY satisfied.
