Foreclosures and Home Price Appreciation

A place where you can find out the latest real estate trends, comment and ask questions based on your experiences with the foreclosures market. In addition, we want this blog to develop into a community where you can connect and share ideas with others interested in the foreclosures market.

While some may disagree whether foreclosures beget slowing home price appreciation or vice versa (it's probably both), there's no doubt that the two are closely related. Take a look at this chart based on RealtyTrac's foreclosure statistics and the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's House Price Index.

Thanks Geoff for the information. It's always good to hear about what is happening out there in the real world that is driving the data we see.

We're hearing similar stories of more short sales from across the country, and we would expect short sales to continue to be popular given the passage of the new federal bill that eliminates taxes on forgiven mortgage debt.
