And it doesnt look much better in the near term either. Pending sales, a forward indicator of market activity, dropped 30% based on contracts signed on May and is almost 16% the May 09 numbers.

Right now, conventional wisdom declares that debt can only be found from insurance companies and some banks in a tight range of 50% to 65% loan-to-value (“LTV”), and can only be had for the most “perfect” assets.
