Fitch: House Prices to Fall 10% over next 18 months
From the WSJ Real Time Economics: Fitch: Housing Prices Have 10% to Go Before Stabilizing
“Fitch’s analysis shows that the 29% rise in prices realized between 2004 and 2006 ... has been reversed. With prices returning to early 2004 levels, Fitch believes that most of the additional 10% decline ... will occur over the next eighteen months. Fitch then expects declines thereafter to moderate.”
