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

Michigan Goes Hollywood to Help Homeowners

With unemployment well above the national average, and average home prices continuing to deflate statewide, any information that can help struggling homeowners deal with their situation and become more informed borrowers in the process can only help in these times

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. It wasn’t long after Ben Bernanke took over the reins of the Federal Reserve from Alan Greenspan that he put a halt to the 17 consecutive upward adjustments in the federal funds rate (FFR) — the short-term interest rate banks charge each other — back in August 2006.
