...foreclosure data shows that many high-end homeowners are running out of resources for keeping their homes. That means the portion of the home market with the most expensive houses is beginning to collapse. If it follows the pattern of the rest of the sector, prices will correct downward quickly and brutally. The housing crisis will have moved to upper tier property which will push down overall home prices even more. Banks will take back more foreclosed houses.

...bound to be called on sometimes in class, because there were only eight of us in the class. I always had some crap ready to spit out. After I gave my spiel, I looked back at Katie. She was looking at me. I instantly darted my eyes downward. But they met…for that fraction of a second…they met. The Big Bang. In that fraction of a second, my universe erupted in fireworks, painting my vision with brilliant reds and purples. My week was made.When school let out, I ran the mile back home. I would?...
