I don't see home prices falling much in most areas- certain local bubbles excluded of course. Easy Al stands ready at the clownbuck presses to make sure that doesn't happen. Only huge unemployment/layoffs would cause home prices to drop considerably. Homes may lose value in a relative sense though- mine has. It's value has not increased as much as inflation since I bought it in 1992. Still beats renting however. Houses aren't really that great of an investment- they deteriorate over time, need expensive maintenance, utilities, property taxes, etc. The LAND the house sits on is the investment. The cost of holding raw land is minimal- and it's return nearly always beats inflation.

If you are looking for foreclosures, remember a vultures best friend is patience. If you can wait about a year maybe even 2 yrs, my guess is you should do better then 70 cents on the dollar (i.e current house prices) May I suggest you look at some one trying to avoid foreclosure? I was stuck in that corner about 10 yrs ago and a good deal was done all around. It took patience and good will though -g- If you rent the property you have some things going in your favor (probably.. depends on the state) into the foreclosure sale... just a suggestion. 60 to 70 cents on the dollar should do it depending where you are looking. Nice State btw pearly.
