US Home Prices Seen Falling 40% Overall: Analyst
CNBC
Friday, July 3, 2009
U.S. housing prices will fall by a double-digit percentage from already beaten-down levels, resulting in an overall 40 percent plunge by the time foreclosures peak in the second half of 2010, Barclays Capital economist Michelle Meyer said.
Meyer issued her forecast two days after the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes showed for April an 18.1 percent year-to-year decline, compared with 18.7 percent in March, in the rate of home price declines in 20 major U.S. metropolitan areas.
The indexes have tracked the prices of U.S. single-family homes since 1987.

“While the early signs of improvement are in place for housing, the market will likely remain out of balance for some time, given the flood of foreclosures,” Meyer wrote.
“Home prices are likely to continue to fall, albeit at a slowing pace, even after the economy technically emerges from the recession.” Home prices have fallen 32.6 percent from their peak three years ago, S&P/Case-Shiller said.

It was planned over fifteen years ago to make people’s homes an over-valued investment and allow them to finance it at low interest rates, or to take out a second mortgage to buy more useless junk. Then pull the rug out from underneath them as the middle class tends to have their home as their primary asset. Transfer or wealth where the cash rich now go in and buy up foreclosures for pennies on the dollar while your family picks out a spacious one at tent city.
Next…massive unemployment as a result of the banking scandals and top companies going broke. Many of these defunct companies were broke ten years ago and hid it all off their balance sheets with “creative” accounting techniques. So now even if you didn’t lose your home and have the lowest interest rate mortgage in history, you don’t have a job and you can’t pay…you lose. Health insurance usually being the crippling expense for a family of four…because the squeeze has been on the citizen forever concerning health care and the insurance racket. And now you don’t have a job so your employer doesn’t even help with this any longer.
The stock market and mutual funds were a baiting technique to get the middle class unsophisticated investor into the market, which is actually very risky, by convincing them that diversification diminishes this risk. Your financial advisor that got you into them only to eventually see your portfolio crash thirty to forty percent less was an ignorant robotoid moron. The creation of boom and busts totally planned and controlled. Another way to sap the middle class out of its hard earned devalued dollars. The stock market actually used to be a very risky game only for the extremely wealthy. But then they thought they would sucker in the middle class fools with stars in their eyes of becoming rich from the market.
The elite knew in 1998 that getting out of the U.S. dollar and putting it into Euros was key.
As was investing in gold and oil. Now you can take those assets that appreciated substantially since then and convert them now into even more valueless US dollars and buy up everything at a bankruptcy sale discount.
Thank your Congress most of all…they are the ones wearing the strap-ons that are now riding your ass.

And the reason they’ll starve to death is that, under the current system, those without government-issued land titles have no right of access to the Earth on which all must live yet which none produced, and hence no right to live upon it:

If you have no place to stand without being called a “trespasser” or “vagrant,” then Linda Runyon’s books won’t do you much good.

Let’s get back to living by the law of jungle. I am tired of living under the bulls*it laws created to enslave us… time to toss off the shackles and fight… the books teach you how to eat weeds and such, so even if the do try and do some weird trespassing thing, weeds grow on the streets, in the roads, etc… and I doubt many people will press charges for eating weeds, more than likely, they’ll thank you for getting them out of their yard. If not, you have the excuse of going, I was pulling weeds! Just trying to help.

Money is Liberty. When you borrow money, you voluntarily submit yourself to interest slavery. If you went into mortgage slavery that is your own damn fault. I don’t have a mortgage because I’m not a damn fool. People that mortgage their lives to buy homes and automobiles sell themselves into slavery. People that collect the interest on the loans ride around on the mortgagors back. Go to your local Home Depot and get the price on a wall stud and calculate how many you can buy with one mortgage payment. Housing is way overvalued. Let the housing market crash! Beware though, if you walk out on your mortgage and claim bankruptcy the IRS sees the clearing of your debt as income and you will be taxed.

40%? I’m pretty sure the area I live in has hit that already. To me this is like now predicting that a former Charlie’s Angel and former pop star will die on the same day.

All around the globe this bubble of real estate was inflated. I really do not feel that 40% reduction/correction is big. Consider the fact that in some parts the rates went up 400% in just one and half year! We may even see 70% correction in prices!
