Housing Will Not Recover For Years

Note: Read the comment section of this article, showing the public rage of this collapse.


The robo-signing controversy is just another issue that the already sluggish housing market didn't need -- but most analysts do not think it will have far-reaching impact.

Nevertheless, the housing market still faces many problems: a weak economy, sluggish hiring, tight mortgage underwriting, falling home prices, and slowing sales.

Then there's the potentially disastrous number of foreclosures that may occur over the coming years.

"The market faces much bigger problems than the robo-signing issue," said Mike Larson, a housing market analyst for Weiss Research.

Prime among them are declines in home prices. And while cheaper homes are good for buyers, they also speak to a housing market that won't stabilize.

Fiserv, a market analytics company, has scaled back its home price projections considerably. In February, it forecast national price gains of about 4% through the end of 2011. The company's latest prediction is for a 7.1% drop in prices between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011.

In fact, after five months of gains, prices in the 20 largest metro areas fell 0.2% in August, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller report.

    Dont worry about all that contract law stuff all will be put right in the end by the Supreme court.
    And backdated.
    Right now Obama is sitting on a pocket veto till after the election for a bill that blesses and legalises the robosigners as legal and unquestionable across state lines.

    America does not have an old fashioned rule of law ,but in a corporate State , Courts that enforce Law by rule.

    They can make the new rules up and backdate them in a semi monarchy and in congress as they go along.
