I cannot even begin to imagine how many foreclosures are still waiting to be processed, but it's going to be bumpy for a while yet.

This is also the reason why properties are expensive. Can't we do something about this? I heard, that there are many companies who are looking for a low-cost housing, but when will it happen if the culture in real estate sales is doubling the price for their commissions?

First of all, I'm digging this blog. My and my team are in Colorado and yes were seeing the bank holding properties ans still waiting for the release of many REO properties. Many of my rehab and fix and flippers are fighting over the properties and driving up the prices when they hit the market. Of course this is what the bank is looking for in the lower 1/3 of the market. Many of the high end Colorado homes especially the brand new ones are just sitting squeezing money out of every builder. I guess my question is how are the banks really going to cure this problem when they release these assets and keep market integrity. There has to be some ethical processes in place to protect as much as they can. I suppose in one angle the banks created this mess by offering such crazy loans programs of which they knew wasn't right anyway... Love this blog guys! Wow! First of all, I’m digging this blog.
