The Government Goes After Loan Officers
Miller One of the most galling aspects of the mortgage meltdown is the sense that folks who made bad loans also made big profits, profits which they get to keep while everyday wage earners and investors are bruised and battered by economic upheavals. A lot of people are wondering: Do those who made toxic loans have any responsibility? The Government Goes After Loan Officers By Peter G. If so, how can they be made to pay?

High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes

Defaulting on the American Dream: A Troubling Trend
A rising number of Americans — particularly those who took out riskier adjustable-rate and subprime mortgages — are increasingly defaulting on their loans, according to figures released this week by RealtyTrac , providing striking evidence that a growing number of borrowers are at risk of losing their homes. Foreclosure filings jumped 42 percent nationwide in 2006, accelerating a trend that began in 2005 as home sales started to cool. Last year, 1,259,118 U.S. properties entered some stage of foreclosure, up from 850,000 properties in 2005, according

US Foreclosures a Mixed Blessing in Q2
As the most recently collected data reported today in RealtyTracs Q2 2006 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report suggests, there is both an upside and a downside to the latest numbers. On the positive side, foreclosure activity nationwide during Q2 2006 rose 25 percent over the same quarter last year to 272,109 properties . This is good news for real estate investors, agents and home buyers looking for a piece of the American Dream at a potentially more affordable price. On the flip side, however, foreclosure activity nationwide decreased 16 percent between the first

Foreclosures Inch Higher in May
RealtyTrac just released state and national foreclosure statistics for the month of May . The data show nationwide foreclosures inching up 2 percent from the previous month and 28 percent from May 2005. “Our May numbers echo the recent report by the Mortgage Bankers Association, which noted that delinquency and default activities were lower in the first quarter of 2006,” commented James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. “While While our report confirms that the number of properties entering foreclosure is still significantly higher than it was during the same period of 2005, we’ve now seen two months of decreasing foreclosure rates followed by May numbers that were essentially flat.

Short sales rising
Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property.

FBI: Mortgage Fraud Begets Foreclosure
The FBI recently came out with its 2006 Mortgage Fraud Report , which somewhat anticlimactically concludes that there is “a strong correlation between mortgage fraud and loans which result in default or foreclosure.” The correlation is apparent in the report’s list of the top states for mortgage fraud: California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Utah. Six of those states also appeared in RealtyTrac’s list of states with the highest foreclosure rates in 2006. The FBI also lists Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota,
