As Home Prices Plummet, When Will You Buy?
It is sobering to realize that weve just gotten through one wave (subprime) and are heading into several more waves of risky loans. For example you see Bank of America adopting a massive, systematic loan modification program. We are still renting for approximately $500 less a month than a mortgage payment would be on a similar house in the same neighborhood with 20 percent down.

The Administration has encouraged six of the nation’s largest lenders — Bank of America, Citigroup, Countrywide Financial Corp., The homeowners have to be more than 90 days behind on their mortgage payments, and call in once they get a letter from their lender asking them to reaffirm that they want to stay in their home. On the plus side, the Lifeline program is not being applied to only subprime adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). Just a few short months ago President Bush stood in front of the press and swore that it was not the federal government’s job to bail out either lenders who made bad loans or speculative homebuyers who purchased more home than they could rightly afford utilizing the so-called “exotic” or “liar loans” popularized over the past few years.
