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.
