• Appreciation Rates Foreshadow Foreclosures
  
  Home prices rose just 1.3 Michigan home prices declined 0.6 percent from the third quarter of 2005, making Michigan the first state to report a year-over-year decline in more than six years. These states included Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Colorado. Third-quarter house price appreciation figures released last week by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight provide more evidence of a cooling real estate market and further foreshadowing of a continued rise in foreclosures — all pointing to more opportunities for real estate investors to buy low.

  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 York and Michigan, as well as the greater Washington, D.C. Foreclosure prevention may often fit with those agendas, but it’s rarely the driving force. Posted 12-20-2006 2:32 PM by 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.
