In a special section — called Which Way Home? — the Your Money team takes a look at housing, including the continuing fallout from the bursting of the real estate bubble, through the stories of homeowners who run the gamut. One negotiated a short sale, others walked away from underwater houses and yet another persevered to get a loan modification. Other features include a family that consolidated several generations on one property.
The section is a joint effort with American Public Media’s “Marketplace Money” radio show. A show featuring the people in the section will air this weekend; see the Marketplace Money Web site for station information.
Here’s the lineup:
- How a financial pro lost his house.
- Despite critics, mortgage deduction resists change.
- A dream of home ownership, still beyond reach.
- Your Money: Estimating expenses before buying your first home.
- After a long ordeal, a homeowner can stay home.
- They walked away, and they’re glad they did.
- Wealthy buyers fuel market for second homes.
- Three generations, two comfy homes a few steps apart.
