FORECLOSURE RATES RISING, EXPERTS SAY

AskForeclosure — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 05:33:23 +0000

Mortgages

FORECLOSURE RATES RISING, EXPERTS SAY: Mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates are on the rise, and the impact could be greatest on low-income families that took out higher-interest loans for risky borrowers, some experts said Monday.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the government wants to issue guidelines to banks and savings and loan institutions that will allow people to get home loans "without taking unnecessary risks."

"Expanding opportunities for more people to buy a home is a good thing. But we do not want Americans to become overextended and see their dream end in foreclosure," Paulson said at a conference on the housing market organized by the Office of Thrift Supervision, a Treasury Department agency.

Some experts are concerned that the increase in mortgage foreclosure rates could affect the banking system's financial health.

Foreclosures Continue to Go Up

AskForeclosure — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 06:34:56 +0000

You might recall (if you've been a subscriber for at least a year) that we predicted at the end of last year that foreclosures were going to increase dramatically in 2006. Well we're pretty sure that this trend will accelerate in 2007. We'll tell why we believe this in another issue. Here's what two industry experts had to say earlier this month.

New construction attracted some investors who got in over their heads and buyers who relied on discount mortgages that are now resetting at higher rates, two factors that are pushing up foreclosure activity, said Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the California Association of Realtors.

"The foreclosures, at least for a while, are going to keep going up and up,'' Thornberg said. "This is going to feed on itself." (Christopher Thornberg, is a principal at Beacon Economics, a California Real Estate consulting firm)~
