I agree the US does influence the world. I see other countries speaking about their economic issues and real estate growth.

Thanks, Benson, for your comment. It’s true that the U.S. housing market still has a big global pull. I think that’s changing, though. For the most part, I also think that’s a good thing.

Things are slowing down in other parts of the world including Asia, and even Singapore (though it’s still doing pretty well in terms of economic growth).

The US market is still pretty phenomenal when it comes to influencing the world.

I agree with the above comment. There are certain parts of the country that are naturally more immune to problems such as foreclosures. However, the Real Estate Journal story did say that even these areas are beginning to see serious housing slumps, too.

I think it has to do with economics in that area. Types of employment people have are of a higher income this can aid in avoiding a foreclosure situation. Most people in those areas have the means to purchase property and pay for it.
