WEDNESDAY WISDOM: The last recession was painful, and when prices dipped, many found themselves owing more on their mortgage than what their homes were worth. Homeowners simply walked away at that point. That won't happen this time because the average equity mortgaged homes have today is $177,000. That’s a significant amount that homeowners won’t be stepping away from, even in today’s economy. So, if you're thinking that you can score a home at a discount price when the "forbearance" offered to homeowners expires and homeowners are looking at foreclosure, they're more than likely to sell since prices will not be dropping anytime soon.
