Will Government Bailout Help Stabilize Housing Market?

The government’s big plan of bailing out Wall Street of all of their bad investments may help to stabilize the declining housing market.  Of course this is just a theory at this point.  The thought process is if the government can buy troubled mortgage debt from banks, more money would be available for borrowers.  Combined with lower interest rates, more potential home buyer’s may come into the market.  The government will also have the power to help current homeowners who are facing foreclosure by modifiying their existing troubled  mortgage.

Many potential home buyers are sitting on the sidelines hoping for the market to decline further.  It is difficult to qualify for a loan and most lenders are requiring large down payments that buyers simply cannot afford.  Buyers are more than happy to just keep renting until the perfect deal comes along.  There is a huge supply of housing in the Tampa Bay area with very little buyer activity.

More importantly, the big question is whether or not the government’s bail out will help our current homeowners keep their homes.  All we can do is wait and see……..
