Shadow InventoryShadow InventoryS&P’s assessment of the stretch it will take the industry to clear the current volume of distressed properties in the shadows is about 41 months. That’s up from the 33-month timeline projected by the agency’s analysts earlier this year.
According to the agency’s report, the growth in the shadow inventory is having three primary effects in the housing market:
1. low liquidation rates artificially skew the visible supply of distressed homes available for sale
2. the growing inventory negatively pressures existing home prices
3. only when the backlog clears, will market home prices fully correct.

systemic threats to a possible correction, we
remain terribly concerned about
forward home prices." RPX Monthly Housing Market Report 10/21/2010

Morgan Stanley expects 2011 home prices to fall 5% to 10% from this year with four years of flat prices after that, although "the risk of slight additional downside in prices, and extension of the trough to 2012, has increased."
