“If you don’t own a
home, buy one.
If you own one home,
buy another one.
If you own two homes,
buy a third.
And, lend your
relatives the money to
buy a home.”

Shadow InventoryShadow Inventory
S&P’s assessment of the stretch it will take
the industry to clear the current volume of
distressed properties in the shadows is
about 41 months. That’s up from the 33-
month timeline projected by the agency’s
analysts earlier this year.
According to the agency’s report, the growth
in the shadow inventory is having three
primary effects in the housing market:
1. low liquidation rates artificially skew
the visible supply of distressed
homes available for sale
2. the growing inventory negatively
pressures existing home prices
3. only when the backlog clears, will
market home prices fully correct.

"We are at a flex point
in housing valuation,"
said Michael Feder,
President and CEO of
Radar Logic. "With
record supply, already
paltry demand and
systemic threats to a
possible correction, we
remain terribly
concerned about
forward home prices."

Morgan Stanley expects 2011 home prices to
fall 5% to 10% from this year with four years
of flat prices after that, although "the risk of
slight additional downside in prices,
and extension of the trough to
2012, has increased."

“It means having a solid and fairly safe
long-term investment that is coupled with
