I posted a topic last week about the Wall Street Journal’s article announcing the end of the housing “bust.”

So, I stumbled upon this article as I was getting caught up on my weekend news.

I just got finished reading this article here, and the Assitant Deputy of the DRE basically says, among other things, that the person or entity that negotiates with a lender on behalf of a seller must be a licensed entity.

"The Economist" has had several articles in the last year about this topic, but it seems they're only available to subscribers, so it doesn't do any good to post links.Harry Dent has data in his next-to-most recent book (haven't looked at the most recent one) that shows US population peaking in about 2050.

Back to the topic...Here is an article about how many banks (including FNMA and FMAC) will be freezing foreclosures for a couple weeks later this month...this could impact the number of REOs hitting the market come early next year, especially now that they've stopped rubber-stamping the paperwork and will actually have to spend some time catching up to the backlog after the holidays:http://www.mainstreet.com/article/real-estate/foreclosure/banks-suspend-foreclosure-evictions-holidays

Check out this article which touches on that very subject.

I just read this article from the San Francisco Chronicle online that you have to see!

Read my blog here on BP for the article.
