In short, some Realtors take offense at such sites, which they see as giving consumers a false belief that much of the research involved in a real estate transaction can be done without the help of a Realtor. “I LONG BEACH, Calif. — I don’t think value is being inserted,”

• Foreclosures: the Coming California Crash?
  
  California foreclosure investors now have an opportunity to tap the knowledge of a 25-year real estate investing veteran who correctly predicted the last two major swings in the California real estate market and is on the verge of correctly predicting another. “Bruce Bruce Norris was dead right” about home prices in California doubling in the early 2000s after hitting bottom in 1997, said Michael Carney, Director of the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California.

  Big Ben Bernanke, that guy at the top of the nation’s financial food chain, finally admitted Tuesday in an address to a group of the nation’s community bankers that foreclosures are not going to go away anytime soon. The Fed Chief gave two reasons for the bleak forecast (both of which have been espoused in previous posts in this blog): 1) further declines in housing prices are expected; and 2) significant resets of adjustable interest rates to unaffordable levels for many borrowers who were convinced to take out the more risky loan products of the past few years. million subprime
