The second wave of foreclosures is driven by unemployment and is harder to fix, says Rick Sharga, senior vice president of RealtyTrac, which researches foreclosures.

Sharga predicts an “L-shaped recovery in the housing market through 2013” with the housing market stabilizing without much increase in prices or construction.

“The housing market will not feel healthy for a few years. This is not a short-lived recession,” he says.
