National Registration For Loan Officers Becomes Reality
But the real story is different: Mandatory registration will potentially allow mortgage investors worldwide to rank loan officer performance — and to refuse deals from those with high levels of foreclosures and delinquencies.

High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes By Octavio Nuiry, RealtyTrac Staff Writer Until now, the foreclosure crisis was confined to a narrow niche of middle-class urban communities and outer-rim new housing developments where first-time homeowners and real estate speculators benefited briefly from favorable financing. But increasingly there are signs that the foreclosure problem is spilling over into wealthier areas, where prime borrowers — and even high-end real estate developers — are rapidly falling behind on their

Home Prices Fall Deeper Into the Abyss
percent from May 2007 to a level below where home prices stood back in January 2000. ldquo;The overall real estate market continued to slide in May, with the 10-City and 20-City Composites declining by 1.0 For potential homebuyers, investors and real estate professionals, it means the flow of foreclosed properties should continue into the indefinite future — at least until home prices stabilize somewhere down the abyss and reverse their direction back up the elevator shaft. Homeowners across the country may be feeling a bit like Mel Brooks’ character from his movie “High Anxiety” now that Standard and Poor’s has released its May numbers for the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices .

Fannie: Q1 a Swift Kick in the Rear
billion loss reported for Q4 2007, it pales in comparison to the $961 million profit the GSE reported for the same quarter a year ago. Credit-related expenses for the quarter rose from $3 billion for Q4 2007 to $3.2 However, foreclosed property expenses decreased to $170 million for the latest quarter, from $179 million in Q4 2007.

Lenders Asked to Clean Up Unhealthy Foreclosures
So far in 2007 four people have died from West Nile Virus — two in Kern County, one in San Joaquin County, and one in Colusa County — prompting Gov. One of the downsides of taking back foreclosed properties for the lender is the obligation and cost associated with managing those REOs — some of which are bound to be vacant for a while, especially with the extended time it is currently taking to sell real estate in the Golden State.

Big Ben Is Finally Talking Foreclosures
And the fact that the number of vacant homes had risen to more than 2 million units at year-end 2007. At the national level he believes real relief that will stabilize the nation’s housing sector and help it recover will come with the support of such programs as the FHA Secure program and the HOPE NOW alliance coalition, as well as hastening the modernization of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). For now the inventory of foreclosed properties will grow for the Big Ben Bernanke, that guy at the top of the nation’s financial food chain, finally admitted Tuesday in an address to a group of the nation’s community bankers that foreclosures are not going to go away anytime soon. The Fed Chief gave two reasons for the bleak forecast (both of which have been espoused in previous posts in this blog): 1) further declines in housing prices are expected; and 2) significant resets of adjustable interest rates to unaffordable levels for many borrowers who were convinced to take out the more risky loan products of the past few years.

Room Enough for a Catnap
In this lackluster real estate market potential homebuyers have been sitting on the fence, observing from the sidelines as the number of foreclosures keeps going up and home prices keep plummeting. Well, for one family it was the right time, an attractive property, and so they came off the fence and pounced at the opportunity of occupying a foreclosed property — quite literally, given that it’s a family of bobcats. What are they waiting for? Hopefully the right time to pounce on a devastated market, timing the bottom of the market before the turnaround begins.
