Foreclosures will drive down property values

Families and neighborhoods nationwide will lose more than $100 billion in real estate value and states will be out more than $917 million in property tax revenue by 2009 due to an escalation in foreclosures, a new congressional report has found.

Released by the Joint Economic Committee, the report estimates these losses will occur because 2 million homeowners with subprime mortgages will enter foreclosure by the end of next year.
