No Mortgage Meltdown For These Banks
Unlike virtually every other mortgage lender, Hudson doesn’t make option ARMs, doesn’t sell loans in the secondary market and doesn’t offer credit cards. Hudson has deposits of $49 billion, a network of 125 branches in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut and just 1,350 employees — a fraction of the workforce one would find with banks of similar size.

New York Versus Freddie Mac: Round One
New York Versus Freddie Mac: Round One By Peter G. Miller It’s fight time in New York. On one side is newly-passed state legislation which sets tough standards for subprime and “high cost” loans and on the other is Freddie Mac, which says it won’t buy such loans in the state after September 1st, the day the new law goes into effect.

Subprime Market Sinking Further Into the Abyss
The latest developments in the subprime lending market should have the entire real estate industry up in arms (figuratively and literally). The latest victim of its own success is New Century Financial Inc. As a result, the lender’s stock on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol = NEW) plummeted almost 70 percent. The problem has gone far beyond the $1 trillion worth of so-called “exotic” adjustable rate loans resetting in each of the next two years. Borrowers began feeling the effects of those resets during the second half of 2006.
