The effects of America s worst property crash govery wide 房地产崩盘连锁效应，情况还能更坏? TO THE many dubious distinctions of Las Vegas,add one more: foreclosure capital of America.According to RealtyTrac, a property-listings firm,one in every ten homes in the city was in some stageof foreclosure last year, almost five times thenational rate. In North Las Vegas, a poorer suburb,the figure was one in five. These statistics would beeven grislier were it not for lenders inability orreluctance to eject all those who are in default at once. People who have managed to holdonto their homes are far from lucky: property prices are around 60% below the peak theyreached in 2006, leaving 70% of homeowners in the area owing more on their mortgage thantheir property is worth. 拉斯维加斯的诸多不安因素又添了一个：取消住宅赎回权的资本。根据房地产上市公司RealtyTrac，去年城中每十座住宅就有一所被取消赎回权，几乎是全国平均水平的五倍。在北拉斯维加斯相对贫穷的郊区，这个比例达到了五分之一。如果不是默认贷款人无力偿还或还不愿意退出一次违约的不算在内，这些统计数据将更加恐怖。然而守住自己的家园的人也很不幸：楼价比2006年达到的峰值跌了大概60%，这导致该地区70%的房主，所付的抵押贷款超过了房产的价值。 |
