More Homeowners Missing Mortgage Payments [FOX 11-08-2011]

Author: admin  //  Category: subprime mortgage

The U. S. subprime mortgage crisis was one of the first indicators of the late-2000s financial crisis, characterized by a rise in subprime mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, and the resulting decline of securities backed by said mortgages. The ratio of lower-quality subprime mortgages originated rose from the historical 8% or lower range to approximately 20% from 2004-2006, with much higher ratios in some parts of the U. S. A high percentage of these subprime mortgages, over 90% in 2006 for example, were adjustable-rate mortgages. These two changes were part of a broader trend of lowered lending standards and higher-risk mortgage products. Further, U. S. households had become increasingly indebted, with the ratio of debt to disposable personal income rising from 77% in 1990 to 127% at the end of 2007, much of this increase mortgage-related.

Mortgage Rates Hit All-Time Low 4th Time in a Row

And now we turn our attention to the housing market in the U.S. where there’s some good news for homebuyers. Mortgage rates have fallen to a record low. Here’s more.

In New York today, the benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage hit a record low for the fourth week in a row.

According to Bankrate.com’s weekly national survey, the mortgage index dropped by 3 basis points to 4.32 percent.

It added that this is the lowest level the fixed rate has reached since Bankrate started the weekly mortgage survey nearly 26 years ago.

Over the past year the mortgage index has dropped 9 basis points. From 4.54 percent one year ago to 4.45 percent four weeks ago. And now it’s at an all-time low of 4.32 percent.

For those looking to get a good property this could mean the right time to spend.

[Taisha Hutchison, Private Bank Employee]:
“When I’m in the business of looking for a property of my own, I’d look for a good value. So it’s a good buyer’s market but not a great seller’s market.”

As mortgage rates creep down again this week, investors worry about the shaky U.S. economy and are keeping their eyes on Europe’s remaining debt problems.

[Guy Maine, Australian Tourist]:
“It brings a nervousness in to the whole finance and banking arena around the world. And we’ve just been in Paris. There’s a lot of nervousness about the French banks and the contagion that might spread to the rest of the world and affect us all.”

Industry experts had hoped mortgage rates would rise again after U.S. President Barack Obama presented his more than $440 billion dollar job plan during a speech last week.

Besides trying to stimulate job growth, the Obama administration also appears to be trying to shore up the housing market by seeking to broaden U.S. homeowner’ access to mortgage refinancing.

[Taisha Hutchison, Private Bank Employee]:
“I think the economy as a whole would need to speed up in order for jobs to be created. Jobs don’t come out of thin air. So it’s all contingent upon the economy and whether that’s on the up or not.”

And as the historically low mortgage rates seem like a way to try to breathe life into a market that’s been painfully slow to recover, observers are left wondering “how low can we go?”

The First Manifesto of the Wall Street Protesters!

Author: admin  //  Category: first mortgage

“As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known…”

High interest rates to affect real estate

Author: admin  //  Category: mortgage rates

http://www.ntv.co.ke
It’s been a hard couple of months to watch if you were n investor banking on the shilling, and an even harder couple of months to live through if you are paid in shillings, as most Kenyans are. The central banks stepping in to increase lending rates and stop the crumbling of Kenya’s currency yesterday may have plugged that gap, but another gaping hole is burning through the pockets of anyone planning to take out a mortgage, or build a property. John-Allan Namu explains.
