What do you see in your housing market this weekend? Repartments? A related video?

How about lower prices? "Sales volumes were mixed but median prices were lower for previously owned Maui condominiums and single-family homes last month compared with a year earlier. For single-family homes, the median sale price in March was $665,000, down 8 percent from $725,000 a year earlier. The median...is well off the record $780,000 set in May 2005 and repeated in July 2006."

"For condos, the median sale price in March was $460,000, down 13 percent from $527,625 a year earlier. The March median was the lowest since February 2006, and compares with a peak of $649,000 in June 2006."

Reluctant buyers? "Buyers still have a lot to choose from in the Rhode Island market. As of April 6, there were 5,647 single-family houses listed for sale through the state’s MLS."

"Agent Stephen Danyla of Providence, said many of his recent open-house visitors seem to be browsing, and they fail to ask the serious, bottom-line kind of questions that are typical of serious buyers."

"'When the market was going hot and heavy … you didn’t have to do open houses; people were knocking on the doors asking to buy the house,' Cohen said."

Or foreclosures? "New figures show home foreclosures in Hennepin County doubled during the first three months of this year compared to the same period last year, which one expert suggested could mean the effects of predatory lending are continuing."

"'It's eye-catching, and not in a good way,' said Prentiss Cox, a University of Minnesota law professor and former assistant state attorney general who has researched the effect of predatory lending practices on the housing market. 'These numbers suggest the problem is getting worse and not leveling off.'"

A lender in trouble? "SouthStar Funding LLC, a mortgage lender that earlier this month said it stopped making home loans, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, meaning it plans to liquidate."

"SouthStar listed more than $100 million of assets, more than $100 million of liabilities, and between 1,000 and 5,000 creditors in its bankruptcy petition. SouthStar made subprime home loans to people with poor credit histories."
