Home Owners, Home Prices, Retirement and Inflation
 
 
While opinions vary on where home prices are headed during the next couple of years, most agree that we’ve begun to see the stabilization we’ve hoped for during the past five years. But stabilization is far from a return to the heady days of 2005/2006; and it is also far from what most homeowners—many of whom counted their home’s equity as a significant portion of their net worth—might like to see.
