Real Estate

 
Wright Realtors Yard Sign
As a consequence of the population increase, Stockton found itself squarely at the center of the United States' speculative housing bubble during the 2000s. Real estate in Stockton more than tripled in value between 1998 and 2005, but when the bubble burst in 2007, the ensuing financial crisis arguably hit Stockton harder than any other city in America. Stockton housing prices fell 39% in the 2008 fiscal year, and the city had the country's highest foreclosure rate (9.5%) as well. Stockton was disproportionately affected by the collapse of the sub-prime lending market in 2007, and led the United States in foreclosures for that year, with one out of every thirty homes posted for foreclosure..

Today is pretty much the same: in fact, conscientious financial creativity is the best tool we have for restarting the crippled housing marketplace, improving the efficiency of the loan process, and making housing easier to obtain for millions. In this book, three top experts explain how, embracing everything people making decisions need to know regarding today’s financial and housing markets.  Read the article on Finding the Upbeat in the Economy and Housing Market in 2012
