• May Home Prices Down 4.8 Percent
  
  Home prices were down again in May, but a few regions of the country experienced a ever-slight uptick in prices from the previous month, giving officials at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) a chance to be cautiously optimistic in the press release announcing the numbers. "It Nationwide, the OFHEO report showed home prices in May were down 0.3 quot;It is very hard to draw conclusions from a one-month number, especially in these uncertain times; but the numbers in the Pacific, East and West North Central Divisions may be good signs," said OFHEO Director James B.

• Foreclosure Filings Soar 90 Percent
  
  Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac, said a jump in foreclosures at a time of year that traditionally is the busiest for home sales means the slide in prices probably isn't over. “Such strong activity in the midst of the typical spring buying season could foreshadow even higher foreclosure levels later in the year,” said Saccacio. “Certainly Certainly not every community nationwide is seeing an increase in foreclosures, but foreclosed properties are becoming more commonplace and adding to the downward pressure on home prices in many areas.” A growing number of American homeowners across the country are getting foreclosure notices, according to new data released this week by RealtyTrac.

• 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.

• I'll Take Sour Cream and Chives
  
  The five: California, Florida (the hanging chad capital of the western world), Michigan, Ohio and Georgia. Just an FYI: in the upcoming 2008 presidential election, California will have 55 electoral votes, Florida 27, Michigan 17, Ohio 20 and Georgia 15. Investors, real estate professionals and potential home buyers looking to pick up a property at bargain prices should stay keenly focused on this election. No butter for me. Personally, I like my hot baked potato covered with sour cream and chives.

• FBI: Mortgage Fraud Begets 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. If not caught, the flipper pockets the profit produced by the artificially inflated sales price (see diagram below from FBI report). The report goes on to pinpoint “foreclosure-rescue” scams as an emerging form of fraud that takes advantage of the growing number of homeowners in default. “The perpetrators convince homeowners that they can save their homes from foreclosure through deed transfers

• Fannie: Q1 a Swift Kick in the Rear
  
  ldquo;As the initial shock of home price declines dissipate and markets settle down from volatility of the last nine months, we’re seeing tremendous opportunity. As a result of the losses, Fannie is revising its forecast for home price declines from a 5 to 7 percent loss nationally for all of 2008, to a 7 to 9 percent loss for the year, with significant regional differences in the rate of home price declines. It may have been created and chartered by the federal government, but Fannie Mae (the Federal National Mortgage Association) is first and foremost a private company responsible to shareholders for running at a profit.
