The above and similar words featured in many reputable news publications in early 2008, and with banks relieving many home owners by cutting interest rates, it is clear that the mortgage crisis has made a large impact. New homebuyers at least can benefit from the price fall, as property which would have once been unattainable is now being sold at extremely affordable prices.
