Right now, the credit markets are trying to reinvent themselves and are finding reasons to not make loans to people who are credit worthy although have some dings from this economic crisis (with credit dings being the norm these days rather than the exception). The banks and financial institutions need to find solutions that allow people who are hard-working, employed and have the ability make payments, the opportunity to have the American dream of home-ownership. For example, many people are caught in the cross-hairs of this mortgage collapse. They find their houses worth tens of thousands of dollars (or more) less than the mortgage on the property. With this in mind, many home owners feel a sense of helplessness and despair – and instead of having financial institutions contacting them and letting them know they will develop strategies to come up with a win-win environment, the homeowner is often stonewalled and passed from one department to another, with no real communication nor answers. If the banks communicated with the homeowners, letting them know they truly have everyone’s best interest in mind, this would go a long way to instill hope, certainty, and the belief that we will all get through this successfully – together.

I think that the overall real estate market has two sides to it: one that involve the consumer home owner or home buyer, and the other side that involves the real estate agent. The two sides do not necessarily share in the same plight, for although the average price of home has steadily declined year over year, the overall activity for the active agent has increased. I hear many agents complain that the market is just not there for them, and to this I just say that they are not there for the market. Transactions in the northwest Arkansas real estate market and other areas are happening -- and a lot of them. It's only a matter of allying yourself with where the activity is concentrated.

Here on the sunny Gold Coast Australia, we are seeing much interest from buyers from your country and Europe, our property markt has held up quite well due to a lack of supply and a strong economy, but because of the media it is a buyers market here too. Right now is a great time for you to invest in Australian property before the crowds start flooding in.

Great article. If we all do our due dilligence, then we take into consideration the calculated risks. Its not the Govt. that will stimulate the market to go up, its the investors on the front lines making that happen.

My partner and I put out a report called the Normalcy report. It is about what normal is as opposed to trying to compare 2005 to 2008 or ‘09. We look at 20 economic indicators including local airport traffic, new construction permits, unemployment and many more. We have years to go before it is normal again.

The Northwest Arkansas real estate market has really picked up lately. Most of the activity is in residential and is fueled by investors looking at the last remaining REO listings, and by those trying to get in ahead of the upswing. Bella Vista Realtors are doing their best right now to accommodate all the needs but buyers and sellers alike have to be patient.

Prices in the Phoenix area have basically been flat for several months, which is a good thing. Year over year prices for April 2010 we actually saw a 1% increase believe it or not!

I think in the future increasingly stringent lending standards will weed out those that would walk away from a home.
