Houses in my area are taking longer to sell, but they are still selling, at a reduced price too!

I think alot of investors and homeowners are waiting the game out here.
Interesting enough I hear quite a few saying the mortgage rates will drop to 2% and the housing values will continue to fall.
Even more talk of unemployment rising to 40-50%. Crazy huh
Too many are scared to even try to qualify for home loans or refis

Mortgage rates to touch 4% again. Unemployment to go to 11%. Housing off another 10 - 15%. Recovery not until 2014.
Those are my predictions. I am a big believer of demographics. You cannot fight that current.

Bill,
your predictions make me feel very uneasy about purchasing anything right now... especially here in Cali... a 10% to 15% on a $250K, we're talking about a ~$30K drop! that's an out of state property!
Maybe hybernate until 2014!

there's always opportunities. You just have to do you homework and not buy indiscriminately. I feel a lot of people on this website will do that as they have no reference point.
Always remember that crazy market conditions can last longer than your pocketbook.
