House prices have fallen since 2006. They will fall further. housing became an overpriced commodity and now they are returning to the historical pricing they should have stayed at.

It is nothing more or less than the market fixing itself. There is nothing else happening except for the fundamentals of economics taking control once more.

Thanks Dan. I didn't really think house prices would drop that much more after 7/09 but I love the house on a lake that I bought then and have no regrets. But I'm VERY glad that even with that drop in value in one year I was still able to refinance from 5.5 to 4.5 in 8/10.

I bought for $190 in 7/09. Refinanced in 8/10 and found my house in z/c 63020 lost $32,000. Why?
