6 Adjusting to the New Normal

7 House Values Despite hopeful start, home values declined 1.6 % during third quarter 2010. Home value changes were all over the map. A number of surveys indicate that house values could continue to decrease in 2011. Experts disagree as to overall increase by 2014 (between 3 - 14%). Lending Tree, December 2010

8 Things have shifted.

9 Foreclosures Homes in various stages of foreclosure expected to top 3 million for 2010 (2.8 million in 2009). Actual seizures are approaching one million for 2010. Analysts expect to close year above that mark. In October, repossessions dropped from September, but compared with October 2009, an increase of 21%. The trend has slowed only a bit due to controversy over bad paperwork. Lending Tree, December 2010
