The Update is that on September 15th the Foreclosure Moratorium Lifted.

So where are all the foreclosures?

Henry Fishkind, an Orlando-based housing economist, says some banks tell him they "are holding back [foreclosed-home] inventory" to avoid depressing prices any more than necessary. "It's in their interest" to avoid flooding the market, and regulators haven't forced them to do so, he says. That suggests that the backlog of homes headed for foreclosure will be stretched out over several years. ...

If that is the case, then we are going to see a turnaround with the housing market.  It may be sluggish, but then again who wants to relive 2004 and 2005?

I believe they holding back as part of a deal to Get TARP funds. Have a great week.

Krista:  Fannie Freddie is holding over 100,000 of them ... and more are coming with rising default rates. The tickle effect is helping the banks however it is NOT helping the market ... it is causing artificallly inflated home sales ....AGAIN.

Isn't it frustrating?  We have no inventory.

Krista - Don't think we'll see much of a turn-around. Banks currently have almost 3 million homes either in foreclosure or severely delinquent. As their inventory increases, they can't continue holding them.

It's going to be a slow process, it appears. I would have to believe that flooding with everything all at once is worse in the long run than slowly releasing them out there. This is going to take years, wouldn't you agree?
