Real Estate and Money... Beware of Neighbor's Home Foreclosure    By BOB TEDESCHI The New York Times Published: June 12, 2009   When it comes to selling your house or planning your next home equity line of credit, being a nosey neighbor could very well pay off.  
That's one implication of a recent report from the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer advocacy group based in Durham, N.C.  
The report, which was released in May, focuses on the ripple effects of home foreclosures, and suggests that homeowners who are concerned about their home's value should watch for signs of trouble among their closest neighbors.  
This year alone, it says, foreclosures will cause an estimated 69.5 million nearby homes to suffer price declines averaging $7,200 per home. The loss in property value could total $500 billion.

News You Can Use Penetrating the Maze of Mortgage Relief  
By VIVIAN S. TOY The New York Times Published: June 12, 2009
Since President Obama unveiled a mortgage modification program in March to help people who are at risk of losing their homes, housing counselors in the New York area have fielded hundreds of calls along the lines of: "How do I get one of those 2 percent mortgages?"   The answer has often been, "Well, it's not that simple."
Housing advocates who work with homeowners in foreclosure or on the verge of it say that while the loan modification program could help thousands of New Yorkers, it has been slow to get off the ground and a majority of people who have applied for help have yet to hear whether they will receive it.
One thing is clear: Homeowners who have a HUD-approved housing counselor championing their cause are more likely to get a modification than those who try it on their own. Housing counselors say they often understand the program's guidelines better than the people answering phones for lenders, so they know how to pursue a case aggressively.
