The hook is this: Under the FHA reform measure borrowers and lenders who take advantage of the HOPE for Homeowners program will face stiff fees and big costs. Under the FHA reform package the answer is the Hope for Homeowners program, an effort which has nothing to do with the similarly-named “Hope Now” project sponsored by the private sector.

Florida Homeowners Overconfident Despite Foreclosures?
Results of a new study released last week by Attorneys Title Insurance Fund (The Fund) suggests that Florida homeowners are feeling pretty good nowadays about the value of their homes and the potential for those values to rise further in the future. Their least concern: falling victim to mortgage fraud -- even though the survey says that Florida is the top state in the nation for such fraud (something that is, unfortunately, always associated with real estate investors working in the foreclosure arena). Their biggest concern: being hit by a hurricane. Between those two extremes,

With all these distressed homeowners getting into financial trouble, combined with layoffs from the auto industry, it’s understandable that the state government may want to do something to promote homeownership and to educate its citizens about the details of what owning a home really means from a practical standpoint.

Fed Stands Fast on Rate; Little Solace for Homeowners
Needless to say, many real estate industry analysts are hoping the Fed continues to maintain this wait-and-see attitude towards the national economy for the remainder of 2007, giving the industry a chance to fully recover its lost luster after five years of prosperity. Although this bodes well for consumer loans, home equity lines of credit, and credit cards, it does little to alleviate the long-term effects starting to be felt by homeowners who signed on to very risky adjustable-rate subprime mortgages during 2005 and 2006.
