It is important to understand that institutional reforms imply providing a robust framework wherein our financial markets and real estate could function. Regardless of how powerful as well as "technologically sophisticated the train is, it is only as good as the track on which it runs." (Shiller, 7) Insurance, regulatory as well as pension institutions are metaphorically the track which carries our real estate and financial markets. However these prevailing institutions dealing with risk-management have become aged as well as unstable. Figuratively, we are 'running bullet trains' on the old tracks. Our policy makers in government as well as in the business need to renovate and remove the rails. The solution in sub-prime relates to institutional reforms: 'the vision to' look over 'short-term fixes' and the guts to embark on reforms at the apex level. (Shiller, 7-8)

Foreclosure:

The 'mortgage mess' caught the public attention wherein a sharp spurt with regard to home foreclosures in the year 2006 spiraled apparently beyond control during the year 2007, setting off a financial crisis at the national level in U.S. which became a global issue within a single year. Along with it, there was a decline in consumer spending, fall of the housing market, foreclosure numbers went on rising and the stock market was down. The sub-prime crisis and the ensuing foreclosure have engendered dissension among the lenders, consumers as well as legislators. (Bianco, 2)

Houston's large supply of land means that demand growth primarily results in more construction, not higher prices" (McCullagh & Gilmer, 2008). However, it is important to realize that land supply is only one part of the reason that new home construction formed such a large part of the Houston housing market.

Housing Bubbles Contagious? Like the sudden collapse of publically traded internet technology stocks in the year 2000 which was its predecessor, the speculative real estate bubble that peaked in 2006 and deflated with such sudden and devastating scope was viewed by many as a calamitous, but largely unforeseeable, confluence of catastrophic economic circumstances. Economic theorists and other researchers have begun the arduous process of debunking that self-perpetuating myth, however, by

The fall in demand derives from the increase in gas prices, which has altered consumer spending habits and encouraged home buyers from buying in outer suburbs. Demand has also fallen because of the lack of easy credit and the high price of homes. Much of the rise was attributable to easy credit, reasonable home prices and low fuel prices. The reversal of these factors has resulted in a steep

prohibitively rising cost of housing in Rhode Island has affected both the nuclear and extended family. Rising housing costs may force family members to move to less expensive areas, causing a breakdown in both extended and nuclear family structure.
