What concerns me know is lenders 'tightening up' the outstanding equity lines...some as much as by 50% . False impressions to the homeowners as to the actual value...yes, we have seen 15%+ reduction in pricing but is it already time for the lenders to step in and start the stampede? I give the Lenders and Banks a thumb down on that move....you want to create panic? That will do it.

Your thoughts?
