How foreclosures impact home prices

From the WSJ, a new study by LPS Applied Analytics looked at the link between the number of foreclosures and the rate of home price declines.

You can find all state data on percentage of foreclosures to all home sales and home price declines by state. South Carolina is displayed below and as a state, while not exactly a "pretty picture", it doesn't look all that bad compared to other much more distressed real estate markets.

It's long been known that banks don't know how to sell real estate but you're right, they may not know anything about banking either.

I don't know whether you've seen Wall Street's latest scheme, per the NY Times, they want to bundle life insurance policies and securitize them and sell them to investors. Incidentally, it works best when people die young.
