Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time
Lastly, we have the real attraction of option ARMs, the option payment itself, a payment which is insufficient to even pay off the monthly interest cost. Because Fitch says that a 40-year loan term represented 4 percent of all option ARMs in 2004 -- but 38 percent by 2007. A loan with four payment options may seem fairly understandable, but in the real world a lot of borrowers did not take out option ARMs because they wanted to make fully-amortizing payments.

Will Homeowners Sink or Swim?
Foreclosure Market Report, which shows 112,210 properties nationwide entered some stage of foreclosure during the month, a decrease of less than 1 percent from August, and a 63 percent increase from September 2005. The next big wave of news may be a true real-estate slump, as hundreds of billions in adjustable-rate mortgages reset, making it even more difficult for homeowners in depressed markets to meet higher monthly payments. Many American homeowners — initially attracted to low teaser rates on those “exotic” ARMs and sub-prime loans — now find themselves swimming upstream in a desperate attempt to remain financially afloat.
