The Northeast is currently being blanketed by another round of heavy snow. HSH.com’s New Jersey office is closed today, February 25, 2010 due to the winter weather. We’ll keep you posted regarding tomorrow, since the storm is expected to hang around into the early portion of the weekend.
However, Mother Nature won’t slow the blog down, it will remain up and running through the end of the week and into the weekend.
Ah yes, time for my favorite post of the week: our weekly recap. Why is it my favorite? It means another week has elapsed, and it’s time for the weekend.

On Monday, HSH VP Keith Gumbinger was the guest on Chicago’s WBBM Noon Business Hour. Mr. Gumbinger joined ‘Business Hour’s’ hosts Sherman Kaplan and Regine Schlesinger to talk about the current conditions in the home equity lending market.
Schlesinger led off the discussion by asking our VP if there’s more to the home equity lending problem than just falling home prices. “That’s kind of the linchpin for all the issues facing home equity lending we’ve seen,” said Gumbinger. Declining prices have wiped out the value of many homes, effectively erasing equity for some, while causing others to go underwater.
