Changes in the real estate market leading to disappointed expectations and loan defaults (just to name a couple) are leading to an increased amount of litigation in the housing industry. This problem has become so widespread that President Obama has made The Home Affordable Refinance Program available to homeowners who normally would be unable to refinance because their homes have lost value. The Home Affordable Modification Program has also been made available to home owners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments because their interest rate has increased or they have less income.

Furthermore, as home prices and property taxes in many areas of the U.S. continue to reach new heights, homeowners are aiming their sights at a common target: the local tax assessor. Angry about higher tax bills, and discontented with the formal appeals process, citizens have begun suing assessors and calling for their ouster.

Disposition of assets in a divorce settlement is always a complex emotional process because the home represents one of family's most valuable assets and the risk of unrealistic expectations is always high. Access to reliable market condition data can help eliminate false expectations in the negotiation process for equitable settlements.
