"Moreover, Goldman Sachs warns U.S. housing prices could fall 25 per cent from their peak and wipe out $5 trillion of wealth in American households. "

Actually this could be good for me....if my home value drops 25%, that means I can finally drop my PMI insurance since I will have more than 20% equity in the new reduced value. I am in the house for the long haul, so the value will come back up.

That is the most optimistic view I've seen about the housing situation :upsidedown:

I'm worried. I know this is what we have been preparing for, but I'm still worried.

I just sent off a 2nd email to my family for them to start storing away food. I didn't get a response on the last email I sent.

You will notice that the date of this article is back in March.

Yet things are going to be worse than this article has predicted, IMO

afraid yer right we havent past thru the eyewall yet. Morgan and Goldman are apparently looking fer buyers and or support. the market drops 3% after bailout
the buzz on tha street is "who is next" and they are all scrambling to make sure they arent. problem is there is not the cash, credit, or confidence to save very many.
