With the economic downfall, it is a fact that the prices of houses have been hit rock bottom for the past months and the prices of goods and commodities have skyrocketed, making almost everyone a pauper in their own respect. Goods have recorded a total of 1.4% increase last month while home prices still continue to decline. The stock market too had a hard hit, losing trillions and trillions of money. The record last year of home prices was down to 4.6 percent from April 2007 – April 2008. According to housing reports, the prices of houses is still continuing to decline, however, the rapidity of the decline is slowing, which of course is a sign that housing prices are nearing dirt bottom.
