Dr. Housing Bubble Talks About Foreclosures
Dr. Housing Bubble, the blogger who correctly predicted the current housing crisis, has a detailed report in which he compares the national housing crisis to what Southern California has been going through.
He point out "lenders have backed off on forced evictions, allowing many to remain in their homes, essentially rent-free."
He thinks the government is putting pressure on the banks not to foreclose and to modify loans. He says this hurts everyone who is paying their mortgages.
Could he be right?
One point we have always made is that real estate is local, not national. However, with Washington getting more and more involved that could possibly be changing the local landscapes concerning the banks.

Will Obama Delay All Foreclosures?
Obama may not only delay all foreclosures, but he may ban them, until they've been screened by the Home Affordable Modification Program or HAMP.
Wwhat? Is this for real?
Apparently, but it hasn't been made public yet, officially. That's according to Meg Reilly, Treasury spokeswoman.
Okay, so how did we find out about it?
