As foreclosure filings increased to a record 1.5 million in the first half of the year, putting pressure on prices once again. This is evident in the fact that new home prices are still falling, with the median selling price at $206,200 in June, down from $219,000 in May and $234,300 last year.
That means builders like Ryland Group, Beazer Homes USA (NYSE: BZH), and KB Home NYSE: KBH) will get squeezed even harder.
