Banks have entitled squatting. Now loan owners think it's their right to squat.

golfplan18,
Thanks for the link.I might have missed it.
I've been looking for a REO or resale at foreclosure prices for 19 months. The article seems to verify what I've seen on the ground
in this area. There are many REOs that are still on the market due to poor condition but just recently the prices are falling on this junk.
Let's set up a $1.00 pool as to when the banks will finally have to face this massive liability. ROFL

House Sheriff,
It's made it difficult for me but I'm persistent.

HEY YOU.... I've been persistent too, but we're in limbo as far as inventory. Who thinks that supply will get better in the winter time?

House Sheriff,
You chose the right word "limbo". I've got an agent that is as straight talking & honest as any I've met & he doesn't have an idea about what might to the market.

Foreclosures are rising again (after hitting a low in April). Banks thought they could create a false bottom by letting people squat, but the Spring/Summer bump is already turning into a decline, and it's only June.

You make me laugh. You won't see this, of course, because you "took the high ground" and ignored me, but you are almost as bad as the perma bear trolls.

More likely in Plainfield or Newark...
My apologies---didn't mean to ruin your groupthink moment there.
My glasses are clear. What color are yours?

It's OK, I get it... if you keep telling yourself the lie over and over again, maybe it will come true and you can buy your castle in Scotch Plains and it will grow and grow in value, and you'll retire a rich man from the investment......
Unfortunately, I have given you multiple different charts showing house values falling in that area.... you can believe the data and facts or you can believe your fantasy.... it's your choice!!!

My mind is open. Unlike yours.
Again--your charts of zillow home values are less than convincing.
I have no idea where home prices are going and I'd be happy if I could wait and buy a home in Scotch Plains next year for 20% less than now. But, I have a hard time believing it. It's already cheaper to own than rent and inventory is very low.
I know, I know, there's the boogeyman shadow inventory waiting to explode. Again--I'll believe it when I see it. I hope you are correct so I can buy next year for cheap, but I remain throroughly unconvinced.

Aha--
I think I see the problem. You missed the day in school where they went over verb tenses. See, the chart you posted shows where prices were at IN THE PAST. I'm more interested in where they will be IN THE FUTURE.
Unless that chart of yours shows the price in 2013 or 2014, it doesn't really answer my question.

This excellent observation explains the inaccuracies that spouteth forth from the lips of the permatroll, a heckling creature with a limited, redundant vocabulary that quite enjoys stroking its rear view crystal ball and regaling itself with stale news.

Realty was a ground explosion and well just like anything in volitile ground what else? Part of it got swallowed not coming back anytime soon.
