Were in a declining market so values of most home will be 10 % less next spring.

From Yahoo FinancAccording to Fiserv, a financial information and analysis firm, home prices are predicted to drop in 342 out of 381 markets during the next year.

Overall, the national median home price is predicted to drop 11.3% by June 30, 2010.

Fiserv has a history of making bold predictions regarding price declines. However, in the past their predictions, if anything, have proven to be conservative.

Mark Zandi, chief economist with Moody's Economy.com, agreed:
"I think more price declines are coming because the foreclosure crisis is not over."

Mr. Zandi, was much more optomistic in his analysis just a few months ago. The foreclosure situation is escalating at a rate no analyst predicted.

There is no doubt in my mind that prices are still under tremendous downward pressure. The key is to find  the price  a buyer   will

I doubt that we see the same trend in our market.  We have seen median prices stabilize and the upper ends of the market start moving again.  I hope the pundits are wrong about this one.
