The U.S. is looking at the same proelbm. Letâ??s say we throw mass money at banks in an effort to get them to lend. What is going to get them to lend that money to a guy coming in for a loan on a house that loses value before he gets the paperâ??s signed? There are much safer ways to invest the money. Yes so the prices of real estate can drop quite a bit. Once that situation stabilizes the prices will not keep going down. Banks will start issuing loans for mortgage again.So long term this will play itself out I think! Rate this comment: 0 0
