As of November 28, 2007, US house prices have fallen yet again to ever lower level making it the lowest fall in 21 years. One of the biggest mortgage lenders in the US, Freddie Mack who had earlier announced that he was setting aside $1.2Billion for anticipated and forecast losses has upped the ante to the tune of $6Billion making this year the worst ever for the housing sales industry.
Mortgage lenders provide financing for people who buy houses with not so good a credit score. The problems just keep on coming to the market with fluctuating oil prices dampening spirits on a swift recover and a possible end to the housing crisis.

Limiting Foreclosure – Tall Call

governmentWith a new government set to take office next year, measures to curb the uncontrolled influx of foreclosures that have been going on since last year are being formulated. From funding help to be provided by the state to tax discounts, they are only some of the possible aids the government might provide this coming year. Many who have lost their homes now rely heavily on state help and with the bailout funds that were released a few months back, nothing really changed and people still lost homes.
Tax cuts for homeowners are coming as well as cash checks to aid people get back their lives. But is it all going to make a difference? Time will tell for the housing market has yet to see a rebound in sales enough to call this crisis over. Just hope more help is made available to those who have managed to scrounge for funds necessary to cover mortgages before it is too late.
