Falling March Housing Starts is a major concern – real estate far weaker than many can even imagine

The real estate market is in a thirty-year bear market. The signs are clear after a fantastic blow off in the real estate bubble. Falling March Housing Starts is a major concern. The real estate far weaker than many can even imagine. The same investors whose negative equities exceeded millions after banks foreclosed their properties one after the other are again in the market making new deals. Believe it or not the shameless mortgage bankers that created the bubble in the first place are underwriting the loans to jokers too.

The biggest problem in the real estate market is the attitude in the minds of the people that one can keep borrowing to buy properties. Real estate is more leveraged than the futures market. It is pure form of gambling to buy homes on no, 5 or 10% down.

After the real crash between now and 2012, the laws will be enacted when people will be asked to put down at least 30% before they can get a mortgage. That will be the end of mortgage markets. That will create the final leg of collapsing real estate prices.
