market covering up a bubble? median home prices are searching up from the year before, sales through the roof. this is certainly not helping curb fears housing is growing too big too quickly. finance professor at george mason university, welcome back to the show, anthony. when the national association of realtors says prices are growing too quickly, that's a sign of something. what do you say? >> absolutely. you really have got to pay closer attention to the data, and they are. gerri: and 8% hike month to month which reminds me a lot of 2006, 2005, 2004. is this a bubble? >> let's take a look at this carefully. on the surface, yes. if you look at mortgage applications, still makes 95 levels which means they are in the doldrums. not coosumers buying homes,

these are investors and wall street, et cetera and paying cash. there is a bubble, absolutely and it is not going away anytime soon. gerri: one of the issues at play here are rising interest rates and expectations rising rates could kill this boom. average 30-year fixed-rate mortgages across the country cruising just under 4% in many markets across the country, you look at 3.95% on the east coast, 3.92% on the west coast, big differences by region, look at that. and then you start to consider how much of these rates are going to go higher. the expectation 4.5% early next week, mention what happens if they go to 7% suddenly all across the country these houses are not affordable in cities like denver, los angeles, san francisco, seattle, miami, washington, new york city.

we are a long ways from that. do you think there are other elements making housing affordable? >> absolutely. there are two factors that his interest rates going up taking it less affordable and house prices are going up a lot faste% than you would think otherwise. the thing i want you to look at is may 2. look at any chart since may 2. that is when they lose control of the market, so stocks have come down. gerri: some people say the fed has lost control. a week ago the fed control is too much. can you have it both ways, really? >> no, absolutely not. for all the good intentions i come in peace, the fed has done some good. the fed has lowered interest rates and on the housing side have fannie mae, freddie mac,

fha, almost 100% domination of the housing market through the government. what do we get? bubbles burst, bubbles burst. gerri: that is what i am worried about. i remember the last time we got into a housing bubble i started looking at those little pieces of evidence something was awry and i found something about that in this market today. we look at the searches on the web for homes, everybody buys homes this way now. in places like palm springs, sacramento, california. we have web search is going on from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in astonishing numbers. i find that to be a sign somehow the market might be ahead of itself. what do you think? >> everybody is saying the psychology bubble, the housing prices shooting up there i want to get on the bandwagon.

i thought i saw this in 2004, and we are seeing inventory come back on the market, so i had to get into the housing market now. zero down payment if possible. we are repeating the same cycle. gerri: i agree. we will watch this very carefully and i am sure you will help us. thank you for coming on. we're talking about market psychology of housing, right? some relief after the market got rocked for a second day after the fed shifted from a potential pullback. take a look at that screen rocking out. savings take it on the chin despite a rebound in the dow and s&p so how do you manage the fear in this marketplace. joining me now, psychologist from fox news to bitter i've known you a long time, wanting to talk market psychology here.

is it our professional investors losing it? >> i think what is happening as investors are making a lot more out of the move that we have seen because we have not even declined by 5%. historically we have a decline of five to 10% every year since world war ii so we are really just doing what we normally do. gerri: i think people have lost their minds on it. you think about this thing all the time. market psychology, a lot of lines in the sand people say things are crazy. somehow we decided a 4% mortgage rate, over that will kill the market, right? a yield on the 10-year treasury is insanity. what do you say about this psychology? >> i say the reason you have that kind of panic is try telling an alcoholic that there isn't going to be any alcohol available for four hours or six hours. in other words when you are

drugged with free money and irrational interest rates that are artificially low the idea of a pullback brings reality back like wait a second, it has been a bubble. we have been addicted and dependent on government fixing the system and guess what, it get their pulses up, they get panicked. they should. gerri: government standing behind the federal reserve ben bernanke keeping the market afloat for four years. we have the transition now to something else, how do we do that as individual investors? >> i think we as individual investors don't have a choice in the matter, we have to be dragged along and it depends on how we respond. gerri: i don't want to be dragged, wants to lead the charge and find the right way to do it. tell me how. >> you don't overreact. what the fed is trying to do is avoid a japan like inflationary

to firlike environment. so the interest rates are artificially low, they didn't hint, they told us the data continues to come in as it is, we will start the tapering program in the later part of this year and and by next year. we're just getting back to a non-stimulus environment. gerri: back to normal really. people feel like it is not back to norral, it is something new. how would you advise people to deal with what will be a volatile summer and fall? >> number one to get expert advice you don't want to be your own psychiatrist or your own financial planner unless you are the other thing is to say look, no kidding to sleep and not having nightmares o were wakingp in the middle of the night should meen you convey to your financial team or advisor the fact he wants to be

conservative, preserved your position, don't be subject to bipolar disorder which is what happens when you sever reality and let your mood float from high to low to high because of artificial government propping up of people, housing and industry you get to come down to ground level and i think people should be telling the financial advisors make a landing as easy as possible because it's coming. gerri: when i think about this because i don't really make decisions based on what the market is doing with my retirement account and savings account. instead i'm always putting money in all the time. so i take out all that anxiety, it's possible i don't even look at it as much as i should. what do you tell people who know we should not operate off their gut. >> they should be more like you, they should realize we have had declines of five to 10% every year since world war ii and have months.back to breakeven in two

20 declines of 10 to 20%, we've gotten back to breakeven in four months. you're probably better off buying then you are bailing the only way you lose money is by selling at the bottom so i would say don't let your emotions rule as the other guest was saying you are paying an advisor to hold your hand and tell you not to sell at the worst possible time. gerri: last word, what would you say? >> the last word is this, since we have seen the internet bubb bubble, when that first, that was not such a quick recovery, that ruin a lot of people. for the folks at manic high, looks, don't have irrational exuberance either. rain in yourself, plan for stormy weather to come and i agree with my co-guest. don't panic. gerri: keep your head when

others are losing theirs. they make a ton of dough in times like this, this is what they live for, this is what they want. youudon't have to play that game, you can be smarter than wall street and that is what we talk about here all the time. thank you so much for coming on, great advice and great facts. we want to know what you think. do you invest with your heart or your head? log onto gerriwillis.com and i will share the results at the end of the show. we have more to come up including tips on how to bring man's best friend with you on your summer vacation. we have dogs in the house. coming to an atm near you, prepaid debit cards. next.

any moves can haunter history for years to come. join me now with tips to boost your credit score, consumer education present for smart credits.com. welcome back to the show, always good to have you on. i want to start with the credit scoring, it is a long time. if you have that information, how long is it? >> the credit industry is a self policing industry. when you miss payments w are you have accounts went to default or collections or most recently people going into foreclosure that is a seven year penalty. if you file bankruptcy or have a tax lien on your credit report or unpaid student loan those can stay longer up to 10 years and unpaid tax liens and defaulted student loan can stay indefinitely until they are paid. gerri: why do i think the good stuff is away. just my intuition. >> it is interesting you bring that up. the federal law that defines

when bad stuff has to be removed from your credit report doesn't address good stuff, it is silent on good stuff so the credit reporting agencies could maintain good information on your credit reports for ever but they don't, the bureaus have policies in place they will remove inactive old accounts after a decade which is probably not a big deal because by then you have likely established other accounts, but there is no guarantee that your old great credit established when you were in your teens or 20s will hang out on your credit report forever. gerri: it doesn't surprise me in the least. what is your number one piece of advice for improving the credit score? >> that is an easy one. pick something that is actionable. not a lot you can do about it except for weight. the number one way to improve your credit score very quickly is to pay off credit card debt. that does not mean take it from 20,000 down to zero overnight. if you can chip away at it, you

would be surprised how quickly your score is going to improve because it does not have a memory media does not know you had more debt yesterday then you do today so the minute death goes down, the score is going to go up. gerri: big story today atms will issue prepaid debit cards. if you want to get one of those you have to go to your corner atm and pull it out. we have not been fans because of the fees are not banks charging big-time fees what you make of this move? >> it doesn't surprise me. eventually you kind of thought the atm machine was going to be used for more than just balance inquiries and taking cash out. the fact some big banks undisclosed at this point are essentially reworking the inner workings of the atm machine to give out a prepaid debit card in addition to cash is a variable

to you can pick and choose what you want doesn't surprise me, another way to monetize the atm machine which they haven't had a way to further monetize ttat machine, now they do. gerri: is means taking money out of my pocket and putting it in their pocket. we're talking about selling a product or we have to pay to get access to my money. >> not only, you go to an atm machine unless you are in network you will pay a fee, likely pay a fee to get this card because you have activated, load funds onto it, things that cost them money so they will subsidize it by charging you money. it does not mean that the parade has ended, you'll pay the same fees you pay on a prepaid debit card you purchase at a drugstore you got from your banker on the internet because you wanted to be like one of the pop stars who are selling them now. this is your money, after-tax

money. now you are getting the bank tax on it to put it on a piece of plastic. gerri: some of the financial advisors as well. we have gotten a lot of attention. i don't want to pay that much for access to my money. >> i don't want to pay anything back. my money. gerri: you know what, it is your money. >> we agree on that. gerri: have a great weekend. time now for the stories you are clicking on tonight on fox business.com. apparently enough is enough. after eight two-day plunge the market ended in the green today. maybe they won't get so spooked the next and the fed talks about ending stimulus measures. get ready to pay more for your latte. hiking prices by 1% nationally starting on tuesday.

from our fox business stiewdz in new york, here, again, is gerri willis. gerri: growing number of states are taking another look at using imminent domain to seize underwater mortgages. now, instead of folks losing

homes to foreclosure, they buy it and cut the loan principle to match the current property value so you pay the local government. is it legal? with us now, the attorney dwien case, and liz weil. dwyaneings you say the point is there needs to be a way to force lenders to make decisions that are good for them. tell me what you mean by that. >> well, you know, some of the lenders, some of the things are in a trust, and they can't write them back by law. if they follow the trust, they couldn't do it. there's got to be a way. they want to in a lot of cases write it back, and they can't do it on their own so there needs to be a mechanism, and this just seems like a way to do it. number one, the government started this mess, and we have given -- gerri: forced the finger of a lot of people, my friend. >> i have to become very clear with you, i don't like imminent domain, full disclosure because generally the federal government

comes in and takes your land, your property, your mall, whatever it is, because they need to build a road or do something, and they don't compensate you. gerri: it's the local government that wants to run the program. >> it's worse. if local government runs it, how do we know what the caps and balances are in the local government? i'm sorry, i don't trust the idea. gerri: dwyane, it's interesting because here's what's going on here. in the name of helping people who are underwater, and i've read the, you know, in the local newspapers, the editorials where the writers say, you know, look, we have to save the communities because other side they are going to go down the tubes. what do you think? >> well, and they are going down the tubes, you know? you know, i got an example. i had a client that owed 1.5 million on his house, and he tried to settle it with the len dore for a million, which is the 500,000 that he paid the lender which was everybody breaks even and start over again, and the lender said, no, went into foreclosure, and the lender lost

$250,000, and the house set vacant in a community, a high end community for a year and a half, and killed everybody else's property value. >> i'm sorry about that, and slippery slope argument.'s the you allow imminent domain, which should be rarely used, in this context, then the next time, the next time, local governments and municipalities use as the federal government use add eminent domain, go in, and take your stuff. >> it's going to be supervised by court. the government just dent get to go in and do whatever they want. they are going to have to et up parameters and what qualifies. gerri: i have a real estate question here. supervised by courts does not make me feel better. talk about real estate. the editorial said, look, these communities are going down the tubes because the people are underwater, and now these particular programs are -- it's all being suggested by a company called mortgage resolution partners. they are the people selling the

idea all over the country. what they say is, you know, this will save those people, and the communities will be better off. how are the communities going to be better off, dwyane when at the end of the day you talk about people who have a very difficult time even affording the house. how do they maintain prooerties? net-net, this is not a benefit for the community, is it? >> oh, absolutely it's a benefit for the community. if they write that mortgage back, now these people have flexibility. they can sell their house. gerri: no, wait -- >> then they can downsize. >> the government coming in in a local municipality stage and taking people eats stuff, their house, is that good for the government? >> they are not taking the house. wait a minute. you are way off. >> no, i'm not. >> they are not taking house, but the mortgage away from the mortgage company. >> the mortgage. >> they are not taking anybody's house. you get to keep the house, then repackage it, drop it down to where you are not underwater, and sell it to the another mortgage company. you can sell the house when you

are done. >> it's the con cement of imminent doe domain, a frightening thing for people. >> i agree 100%. gerri: very fright ping. to my way of thinking, if the government takes my house, i can't think of anything scarier, but here, dwyane, is a problem. here's one of the problems. so we have seen a number of federal programs to try to help out people who are behind on mortgages, underwater, who can't pay, don't want to pay, they have not worked. they have been a stunning lack of success in that category. why would this be any different? >> well, it probably won't. i'm a free market person myself. i think free markets ought to take over this burks the problem is we have gone way past allowing the free market to work. gerri: a-plus for effort. >> we have to do something to help these people. gerri: do we? >> no, no, not with the government. gerri: can't the market work its way through, i mean, really. >> let's just let all the foreclosures go and start

another cycle of -- >> it doesn't start another cycle, but ends the old, doesn't it? >> a-plus for effort gerri: dwyane, you have been patient with us. thank you for arguing the pro side on this network. i appreciate it. >> two against one. gerri: it's tough, i know. okay, thanks for coming on tonight. happy weekends to both of you. here's a question that i thought of. do you love your job? i do, but most of us, well, they don't. a recent gallup poll shows a third are completely satisfied at work, but some cities have more happy workers than others. that list is tonight's top five, number five, washington, d.c.. they may be satisfied with the jobs, but they are not doing them. with budget cuts, nearly 7500 employers are hiring. number four, salt lake city. the health care workers in the city are the most satisfied. number three, more than 4,000 employers in seattle hire, and

obligation to repay the debt. you can consolidate with the direct loan program at loanconsolidationed.gov where the monthly payment is based on income opposed to the amount you owe. if you happened to have defaulted, there's loan rehabilitation programs and opportunity to settle for less than the amount you owe. all available for free from the federal government. >> all available for free from the federal government. you know, a lot of people who watch this show don't like the programs because at the end of the day people don't repay debt owedded to the federal government, but for goodness sakes, don't get taken by a scammer; right? >> absolutely, and the -- i fault the federal government for not advertising the programs more. i mean, there's room for the scams to exist simply because the government doesn't tell borrowers about all the options that are available. gerri: thanks for coming on and explaning that to our viewers mark, and we'll put the websites
