As more homes sit for sale on the market and the prices keep falling,hard decisions are coming up for many homeowners. More borrowers are finding their homes are now worth less than they owe on them and that they will be upside down on the home soon and will bail out on the mortgage. Borrowers that are able to sell their homes (even at a loss) need to think about what their home may be worth in a few months. Buying a home for a investment was a great idea for those who could weather the market and who intended to live in their homes for a while. The flippers are now dead in the water and will need to eat their losses and move on if they do not have the finances to hold and maintain their flips. If you have a home and cannot afford to keep it then do not wait until the ship sinks before jumping off. It would be better to sell at a reduced price while you still have a little equity rather than wait until that equity vanishes. Hard decisions will have to made for many home owners in the near future. www.rateinformer.com
