The prices of homes, including now Middle Class homes, is, I understand still falling in the USA.
This must mean that asset values are contracting both for individual home owners and the banks who hold mortgages and security. This was the starting point of the economic depression we are now in.
I was said, by others, much more clever than I, some time ago, that these prices would cease to fall, stabilise, then start to increase.
This has not happened, and I can see no reason for it to happen; just the opposite, as when employment stops, the logic for living, and owning a house in any given area goes.
Therefore, there is no reason to have pointless hope of economic recovery when the opposite, and unpleasant is reality is there to be seen.
It would be better to plan ahead for reality.
