Renovation-Radio.com Housing Market Update: National Public Radio (NPR) Discusses What It Will Take To End The “Housing Bust” (Audio)

If you want to know when the bust will end, Zandi says, look at foreclosures and short sales. Those typically occur at a big discount to prevailing prices, so they push overall prices down.

At the moment, almost a third of all houses being sold are foreclosures and short sales. The housing bust won’t really be over until that percentage falls sharply. Zandi says that’s likely to happen by the end of next year.
