More and more people are finding it easier to get people who are willing to swap properties as people are holding off buying due to the slowing economy. The economy isn't getting better, and with gas up to more than $3.00, it won't be getting any better soon. People are finding all possible ways of saving on gas and other stuff so they have enough to survive and keep their houses.

Lease-to-own deals, has a potential buyer renting a property for a specified time period that at the end of which they have the option to buy the said property at a mutually agreed price. The renter gets the house they want, which would be the one you want to dispose of, rent it for something like 18 months (which is standard in most cases) and then may or may not opt to purchase the property you have agreed on during the time of the agreement being signed. This option can be added by attorneys to your contract. The homeowner can enforce a sort of penalty for the renter should they opt not to buy the property at the end of the contract date which is a deposit if they do agree to purchase and a penalty if they opt not to buy.
The flood stricken areas of New Orleans was last year's fastest growing metropolitan area in the US according to the US Census Bureau. The area was decimated when the 2005 hurricane season hit the area with flood after flood causing mass exodus from the area.

As more people lose homes due to foreclosures, people look first to rental properties which has already been maxed out and not much is left. Even in cities where these properties are located and are quite pricy has seen a surge in rentals and some purchases as people try to save on gas by moving into areas nearer their businesses or employment. People have been holding their breath and those who foresaw the problems in the housing market have long turned blue in anticipation of thing s getting any better. As employment grows to around 16%, more people are opting to rent rather than buy homes which have an over-supply of around 1 1/2 year's overstock if compared to goods. The only way for the market to rebound is for these stagnating properties to get turned back into liquid assets that can be used as capital for further developments and to pay off debts.
