Where have all the foreclosures gone?  Why have they not hit the street yet? You can drive any neighborhood and see vacant homes that have been foreclosed on and they are just sitting there. Some call this shadow inventory.  What are the lenders waiting on?  One of the main reasons I have heard, is that banks do not want to flood the market and drive prices down. What will happen when they finally do release this inventory?  Why foreclose if you are not going to market the property?  Why let the home sit  vacant?  We have seen vandalism and squatting and as more homes sit vacant, the result will be more loss.  A house sitting vacant will lose more value than a house with owners still in it.  It seems to me that when you add depreciation to a home that is being vandalized or squatted, it will add up to more than just depreciation alone.  Even if the depreciation is industry induced.

Release the homes you have already foreclosed on, you will have to release them at some time in the future anyway, let the market take care of itself.  People have already been hurt by values decreasing.  Don’t set a false bottom and let people who have just bought homes see their equity disappear also?  Work with homeowners to stay in their homes.  Even if it is just until you can sell the home, work with them, you will have a better taken care of product. Foreclosure with vacant inventory should be the last resort.  A loan modification or an approved short sale process will make the system run smoother and less money will be lost.

Let me know what you think.  Am I right or am I wrong, you be the judge.
