biz.yahoo.com AP Homeowner Equity Is Lowest Since 1945 Thursday March 6, 12:50 pm ET By J.W. Elphinstone, AP Business Writer Federal Reserve Report Shows Homeowner Equity Dipping Below 50 Percent, the Lowest on Record NEW YORK (AP) -- Americans' percentage of equity in their homes fell below 50 percent for the first time on record since 1945, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. Homeowners' portion of equity slipped to downwardly revised 49.6 percent in the second quarter of 2007, the central bank reported in its quarterly U.S. Flow of Funds Accounts, and declined further to 47.9 percent in the fourth quarter -- the third straight quarter it was under 50 percent. To me RE is as of yet very very risky.
