Bad news is flowing out from all corners of the Housing Industry in the country, but it is visible that there are some obvious signs of stabilization in home prices. Last year, a substantial jump of 3.6% was seen in the housing prices for the whole nation. Though in the first quarter, the prices plunged by 2.8%, the second quarter saw a climb of 4.4%. Sadly enough, despite this surge in the home prices, the recent data does not point out some rewarding or gaining situation ahead. The data includes mortgages and home prices. However, with this data, it is evidently visible that housing market is definitely in a better position compared to the same period last year. The question that comes in is: what buoyed the positive report? The answer is the Tax credit program, from the Federal Government. The program refunded $8,000 for the homebuyers in 2009. This definitely helped, but now that the program has ended, it can be expected that the housing market will be heading for a cool down procedure. However, experts do opine that this report is nothing more than a bubble pride for the housing market and that the prices are not expected to rise continuously. On the contrary, they foresee the chances of degradation in prices over the next few months and, eventually, a year from now the home prices all over the country will dip down substantially. Adding to the tragedy is the ever increasing number of repossessions by the lenders and a sluggish growth in employment. For the prospective homebuyers, the angle will be a little different, because they will now be able to get preoccupied homes at lower prices. This discounted pricing structure of the foreclosed properties will mean considerable savings for the would-be homeowners.
