I predict 2009 will do much the same given the new new crisis in Prime ARM resets and the record numbers (additions) of pre- and forcelosure filings in Q1 2009.

Why all the hullabaloo about a minor uptick from Mar.09 to April 09? Perhaps more of the authors should practice some disclosure on where they stand on their mortgages!!!! Seems that's the rule/law for stock advise, why not housing advise.

Disclosure: I rent in Los Angeles and have no intention of buying a house or buying the hype of a housing recovery in 09. Will reconsider my position in Nov. 2010.]]>

A family of 4 should not day trade on their housing search. Think of it this way, if the value temporarily goes down 100k then your property taxes should drop too. If you're in California you can then reset lower for the future due to Prop 13.
