Things are not getting any better for homeowners.

Since 2008,we have seen millions of foreclosures and it doesn't look any better as long as these numbers stay this high for one month of foreclosures.

To each foreclosure is a family put out of their home. Unemployment is causing many to lose their homes.

Does Obama talk about this? Is it really any better after 4 years of Obama?



Foreclosures rise in August - Sep. 13, 2012

And I would guess at least 50% of them were people who had no business buying a home in the first place. I'll bet 75% of America has no clue what an adjustable rate mortgage is and thinks it's a good thing.

Over the long run things are improving.

From the article:

So when the firemen come out to put your house fire, and they save the structure, but there is some smoke and water damage.

You'll go up to them and ask that stupid question?.......Is my house better than it was before?


Implying that they are to blame?

Many of the wealthier middle class people hung on for a longer time. They lost their jobs and couldn't find another. Their savings ran out.

The homes that are being lost are now those who bought a home they could afford but without a job, they cannot find the money to keep it.

How many were illegal foreclosures, and how many were where people were trying to actually make good?

It is a good thing if you understand it.

Uncle Ben just said it last week, QE infinity and beyond. Rate stay at 0 until at least 2015. I guess if things turn up, I hope they will, I will refinance and lock in a fixed rate. If it still low, refi another another 5/1.
