Saw this earlier...so looking at this comment:
"Moody's Economy.com forecasts that even with loan modification programs, 1.6 million Americans will lose their homes this year either in a foreclosure or distressed sale, and another 1.9 million are projected to lose their homes in 2009"

we see that there's plenty of people that will still lose their homes. Lot's of bleeding yet to come unfortunately. For those looking to buy or refinance and have decent credit, the best mortgage rates are still available. So get out and buy a foreclosure!
