    Short Sales and the Foreclosure Crisis

    Apr 13, 2010
    The various efforts to fix the real estate market have become an alphabet-soup of federal aid and programs. Just this week, the Obama administration announced new incentives to speed up so-called short sales - the selling of houses in depressed markets at the current price rather than waiting for home prices to improve.

We talk with local HUD chief Ken Lobene, a short-sale realtor and a legal aid attorney who's worked on foreclosure issues.
