Based upon today’s Case-Shiller monthly housing report, prices are still dropping in all the top 20 metropolitan areas.

No surprise. Fewer lenders also…and much harder underwriting standards are causing many sales NOT to close.

Be prepared to document everything and it will take longer to get to the closing table.

Buyers with less than 10% down payment will find that the only available funds are under an FHA program.

Conventional lenders are requiring more down payment.
