A TRICKLE OF HOPE FOR HOUSING

摘要

The real estate bears have plenty of fodder.rnThere's the $230 billion in variable-rate home loans that will reset between now and 2012-a wave that could trigger another round of defaults. And more problems are brewing in commercial real estate, which some experts believe will generate $375 billion in losses on top of the $1.1 trillion hit from housing. But, as the saying goes, all real estate is local. And amid all the Sturm und Drang, small signs are emerging that the housing market is starting to stabilize, even in such hard - hit areas as Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and coastal Florida.
