“As we begin 2011, the housing recovery remains vulnerable to high levels of unemployment, delinquencies and foreclosures,” [Freddie Mac Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Haldeman, Jr.] said. “Nevertheless, certain economic indicators showed improvement in late 2010. While this trend offers some encouragement, we expect national home prices to decline this year as housing will continue to take some time to recover."

Freddie Mac reported that REO inventory was at 72,079 at the end of Q4, up 60% from Q4 2009 (45,047), but down slightly from Q3 2010.
