Don't let the media depress you. You can stop foreclosure and keep your home!
From MSNBC.com:
Gen Xers get hit with a double whammy
was sweet for Gen Xer Marc Matsumoto when he graduated from University of California, Davis, in 2000 and was inundated with job offers from tech firms.
“It was ridiculous. I would get 30 calls a day from recruiters,” he recalls.
He chose a six-figure job with a software firm, but ended up unemployed after only six months as the dot-com boom went bust.
Despite the disappointment, he was able to borrow money from his parents to pay the bills and went on to see his career flourish, relocating to New York City from San Francisco for a big job with a Web startup.
“It was great,” he says.
At least it was until economic deja vu hit in December. “I lost my job again,” he says -- this time due to the deep recession sweeping across the economy.

Negotiate with Your Lender and Stop Foreclosure
If you're going through foreclosure and you haven't spoken with your current lender, you're not alone. In fact, most people who go through the foreclosure process never even pick up the phone to negotiate with their lender to try and stop foreclosure.
I've been a real estate agent a long time, and most of the clients that call me to try and save their home, have never picked up the phone, called their current lender and tried to negotiate and stop foreclosure. Most of the time, it's a combination of embarrassment and lack of knowledge that makes people reluctant. But if you know just a few simple secrets, you can negotiate with your lender and stop foreclosure. Let me tell you how.
First a Couple of facts About Lenders and Foreclosure:
1.) Lenders hate foreclosures: It costs them money, it costs them time and they will never recoup their losses if your home goes into foreclosure and they have to sell it. The lender will incur attorney fees, Realtor fees, property maintenance fees and a host of other expenses that make the foreclosure process a last resort for them.
2.) Lenders Employ Real, Live People: I understand you are reluctant to negotiate with your lender and stop foreclosure on your home. Many people think of their lender or bank as a large, unemotional institution. But the truth is, the people you will talk to our just that: people. They'll listen to you situation and will genuinely try to work out a situation that can help them and you. Don't be afraid.
How to Negotiate with Your Lender and Stop Foreclosure
Hopefully you're a little less afraid to pick up the phone to negotiate and stop foreclosure . Now you need to know what to say and how to approach the bank when you do call to negotiate:
1. Don’t wait until the last minute: If possible, talk to your bank before you go into foreclosure. If you already are in foreclosure, don’t wait until the last month of the process – call them now.
2. Tell them the truth: If you lost a job, tell them. Medical bills? Tell them. Many times a hardship can help you renegotiate, avoid foreclosure and start getting back on track with the lender.
3. Don’t be afraid to Haggle: Banks hate having one of their properties go into foreclosure. It costs them large amounts of money both in lost income and expenses for attorneys and real estate agents. Use this to your advantage and don’t be afraid to ask for a rate reduction, payment deferments, etc.
If you take anything away from this article, please understand that you can negotiate with the bank to stop foreclosure. In fact, the lenders would rather have you call them than have your home get foreclosed on!
in the rare instance where your lender won't work with you, you can use one of the systems we've reviewed to help you out. See the about me / resource box for a link to our review page.
Good luck and don't be afraid to negotiate with your bank to stop foreclosure!

Economists see deeper housing woes this year
If you haven't taken steps to avoid foreclosure, DO IT NOW!
From MSNBC.com:
Economists see deeper housing woes this year
LAS VEGAS - A panel of housing experts on Tuesday projected that builders' woes will deepen this year, pushing the prospect of a recovery into 2010 at the earliest.
"We do expect '09 to be the down year, to be the bottom," David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders, said during a news conference at the International Builders' Show, which runs through Friday.
The outlook reflects grim forecasts that call for home prices, new construction and home sales to decline this year, while mortgage defaults, foreclosures and unemployment continue to rise.
