ARM'd and Dangerous?
Jonathans question reflects a popular bias these days towardsdirectly linking the rising foreclosure rates to default rates onsome of the higher risk loans that have become increasingly popular -ARMs, interest only, negative amortization, etc. Under "normal" circumstances, wedprobably look at the Midwest rates and chalk them up tohigher-than-average unemployment rates (a very strong predictor offoreclosure rates) and lower-than-average house appreciation ratescoupled with weak housing demand. Another nice post from Jonathan Miller on his Matrix blog, "Foreclose Already So We Can Get Back To Normal" ( http://matrix.millersamuel.com/?p=568

Credit Card and Mortgage Debt Fuels Foreclosure
Among the hardest-hit states were California, Florida, Texas, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Rising interest rates have caught many homeowners in a “can’t pay, can’t sell, can’t refinance” vise, in which their ARM payments are outpacing their incomes and their homes have not appreciated enough to help cover the cost of a refinanced mortgage or to allow them to sell and walk away. Debt! No word better describes why millions of Americans are now facing foreclosure.
