• Fed's Cautionary Stance Predictable
  
  All told, these concerns — along with energy prices — are going to weigh on the economy for the next few quarters. What does all this mean for prospective home buyers and real estate investors looking to take advantage of present market conditions? It means that we haven’t seen a market as ripe as this one since the early 1990s, with such a vast selection of properties available to purchase at significant discounts. Did anyone really expect anything else out of Ben Bernanke and the other 10 members of the Federal Open Market Committee this time around?

  According to its latest report released Tuesday, Standard & Poor’s said home prices across the nation continued to fall in April 2008, with prices in all 20 metro areas it studies for the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices showing annual declines.

The median home price nationally also declined for the month, down 7.7 While everyone is worrying what the Federal Reserve is going to do next to try and stabilize the economy and keep it from falling deeper into recession, a slight bit of good news also came out this week with the announcement that home prices rose 0.6 The bottom line is that no one can say anything with 100 percent certainty given the current state of our national economy.

• Greed and Deceit Get Their Comeuppance in Any Cycle
  
  It’s a recurring theme in the real estate industry; mostly visible in the financial sector, although one would have to be a fool to believe it didn’t take place in every aspect of the real estate transaction. By comparison, in the present situation there is plenty of blame to go around — lenders probably not disclosing everything they should have, and borrowers not reading everything they should have before signing on the dotted line — in the end it’s still the lenders that people are cursing at in a rather loud voice nowadays. Greed and deceit. And let’s

• Foreclosures in Money's 'Best Places to Live'
  
  Money’s writers and editors selected from an initial pool of 745 “livable” cities with populations of more than 50,000 with good jobs, low crime, quality schools, plenty of open space, lots to do, AND rational home prices.
