• 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 and the

• Study Forecasts Rising Subprime Foreclosures
  
  The study, which cites RealtyTrac numbers as one of its sources, looked at subprime foreclosure rates from 1998 through 2006 and closely ties those rates to house price appreciation. The study argues that subprime foreclosures will heavily impact the overall housing market because subprime loans now make up a quarter of all home loans. It warns cities in California, Nevada, New Jersey, New A new study released yesterday by the Center for Responsible Lending projects that one out of five subprime mortgages originated in the past two years will end in foreclosure, costing homeowners as much as $164 billion. “This rate is nearly double the projected rate of subprime loans made in 2002, and it exceeds the worst foreclosure experience in the modern mortgage market, which occurred during the “Oil Patch” disaster of the 1980s.

• ARM'd and Dangerous?
  
  Jonathan does his usual fine job of trying to help everyone keep the numbers in context. He asks a question toward the end of his post about why the Midwestseems to be getting hit unusually hard with foreclosures in spite ofthe fact that both coasts saw higher price spikes in home values and ahigher percentage of "exotic loans." And it probably accounts in large part for whats happeningin states like Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. 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
