Credit Crunch ≠ Tighter Underwriting
Tighter Underwriting Standards • Subprime and other less-qualified borrowers initially.• Later spread to well-qualified borrowers.
Credit or Liquidity Crunch • Investors who normally provide funds to Lenders on
sidelines. Source for jumbo loans.• $$$ in safe havens (Treasuries) because of risk
elsewhere.• Fewer $$$ available, even for well-qualified borrowers
in recent months.

Sales of Existing Detached Homes Median Price
California Sales of Existing Homes and Median Price
-61% -25%
-47%
Summary
•Existing Home Sales: 2007: -26%, 2008: -6%
•Statewide Median Price: Continuing decrease (15-25%)
•Low end weak…Payment resets, Foreclosures
•High end weak…Credit/Liquidity Crunch
•Tighter Underwriting Standards…maybe too tight
•Affordability to remain low, THEREFORE…
•Stabilizing sales, no significant recovery in next 6-12 months
The Bottom Line for Households
•Homeowners are generally in a positive equity position if
bought before 2005, so don’t panic!
•Sell if you must, hold if you can.
•If you must sell, then price home to sell and not to sit.
•Buyers should not expect bargains in all markets. Must do
homework and consult with a REALTOR®
•Find a home that meets needs and fits budget…buy it!
•Opportunities for investors, but must do homework.
Thank You!
