Additionally, this report highlights that 8.3 million households are now underwater and at risk of "walk aways". 2.2 million more will be underwater if we go down in prices another 5%.

Option ARMS are just beginning to be reset and those numbers will peak in August of 2011 and will most likely drive all of these numbers higher with higher mortgage payments.

These are all published numbers from non government agencies.

Here is a summary

US Households: 75 Million

2009 Projected Foreclosures: 3.5 Million (1 of every 21 households)

2009 Projected Home Sales 5.5 Million

Inventory of Foreclosures 2 1/2 years (assuming 25% of home sales are foreclosures)

Number of Homes Underwater 8.8. million (1 of every 8.5 households)

Number of Households underwater if prices decline another 5%: 11 Million (1 of every 6.8 households)


The American dream of owning a home has quickly turned into a nightmare of monumental proportions going well beyond almost anyone's wildest and darkest thoughts.
