Sometime in 2010, according to the USA Today:

“A second wave of foreclosures is poised to hit the market, potentially undermining housing recovery efforts as more homes add to the glut of inventory and drive down prices. These homes largely represent loans that are delinquent but have not yet resulted in foreclosure sales.”

The reason? The report lists several:

Moratoriums
Overwhelmed lenders
Modifications
Asset write-downs

Add it all together and Mark Zandi from Moody’s, which is “among the world’s most respected and widely utilized sources for credit ratings, research and risk analysis,” predicts that about 2.4 million homes will be lost to foreclosure next year.

That’s nearly a half-million more defaults that occurred in 2009 based on their data.
