Home prices in much of the Washington region will likely drop 10 percent or more because prices have far outpaced affordability for first-time buyers and investors, according to a forecast this week by Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com.

Foreclosures climb nationally - Orlando Sentinel : Business
Home-foreclosure rates soared nationwide in the first quarter as consumers grappled with the rising costs of living.
And while Florida recorded a decline in foreclosures, the state still has one of the 10 highest foreclosure rates in the nation, according to a recent report by RealtyTrac.
The first three months of the year saw a 72 percent increase in nationwide foreclosures, compared with the same period of 2005. That's a rate of one for every 358 U.S. households. In Florida, the rate declined 14 percent -- a rate of one for every 247 households.

The reasons for the projects' retreats don't bode well for the larger picture: lack of buyer interest and escalating land, construction and labor costs.
