I've done distressed investing for a living for 15 yrs now. Of course I follow it<g>

Can't wait for it to spread to the bubble markets. We have barely even begun to see lis pendens start to shoot up and even now are still way below 20000-02 levels. The appreciating values, strong housing related job creation and toxic loans kept a lid on foreclosures in many markets. I'm sure it gets to be worse down the road in California, Florida or New England than in Michigan, Ohio, Texas or Colorado..

John:

Couldn't agree more.... the real estate market has a bunch of nasty terriers at its throat. It peaked out months ago and is now slowly but surely moving towards a steeper downhill slope.

Best,
Earlie

What is truly amazing about Michigan, Ohio, upper PA or NY is that there has been any new construction at all over the last few years of relentless job losses. Over 100 new homes ($200-500K) have been put up on the fields near my sister's house in the last 3 years. This is in Ontario, NY about 50 minutes from downtown Rochester. I am going up to visit in June and will check out the sales offices for activity.
