Education is absolutely vital. We must educate our clients not to think short term only. Homeowners need to be educated that these things go in cycles and that instead of walking away because they are upside, to ride out the market. Those who stick it out will not only retain their good credit name, but will come out on top!!!! Lori Cofer Realtor® Pullman, Washington You’re so right. Education is absolutely vital.

How much money did big banks throw in the face of our congressmen to get the deregulation? Millions if not billions of dollars, it's a corrupt system, and it's sad. Great post, very intriguing!

People do need to be educated that real estate moves in cycles. Avoiding foreclosure is in the long-term self-interest of home owners, and it is also the morally and ethically correct thing to do when a home owner can afford to continue paying the mortgage. Your analysis of the causes of the foreclosure crisis, however, is misguided. Attempting to blame Democrats for the policies that led to the foreclosure crisis is like trying to force a bowling ball through a keyhole. It just doesn't fit. Deregulation of the banking sector was a Republican agenda. Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX) was the primary sponsor of the law that allowed banks to mingle their banking business with the securities business. The result was irresponsible mortgage lending and "creative" marketing of very risky mortgage backed securities. The banks did everything they could to issue more loans, just so they could sell more mortgage backed securities and generate more short-term profits. The only reason that President Bush opposed increasing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits was that his banking buddies didn't want Fannie/Freddie competing for the loans that were being repackaged as mortgage backed securities. Ultimately the cause of the foreclosure crisis isn't as important as the solution. The Obama Administration has worked diligently to provide assistance and incentives (like the $10,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit) to home owners. The current administration and the Democratic Congress (welcome, Al Franken) will also work to amend regulations to make sure that the greed and irresponsibility of the banks and other big corporations doesn't further jeapordize the health and safety of the United States. It will pay off for home owners who ride out the storm. Walking away from a mortgage just because housing prices have dipped in the short term is just plain wrong. We too are already seeing signs of recovery of real estate in San Diego. Prices are rising for entry-level and mid-level houses. Buyers are fiercely competing to buy the discounted foreclosure properties and short sales.
