No Mortgage Meltdown For These Banks
But the real story with foreclosures is different: The fact that a loan is delinquent does not mean foreclosure is sure to follow.

Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time
Miller Step right up folks. Lastly, we have the real attraction of option ARMs, the option payment itself, a payment which is insufficient to even pay off the monthly interest cost. Because Fitch says that a 40-year loan term represented 4 percent of all option ARMs in 2004 -- but 38 percent by 2007. A loan with four payment options may seem fairly understandable, but in the real world a lot of borrowers did not take out option ARMs because they wanted to make fully-amortizing Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time By Peter G.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure - a Way Out of Foreclosure - RealtyTrac

Foreclosures: the Coming California Crash?
California foreclosure investors now have an opportunity to tap the knowledge of a 25-year real estate investing veteran who correctly predicted the last two major swings in the California real estate market and is on the verge of correctly predicting another. “Bruce Bruce Norris was dead right” about home prices in California doubling in the early 2000s after hitting bottom in 1997, said Michael Carney, Director of the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California. Carney went on to say that he thinks Norris’ latest prediction, made in early 2006, that foreclosures will soar and home prices will plummet in the next few years is also likely to be correct.

Florida Homeowners Overconfident Despite Foreclosures?
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). That report showed a 24 percent drop in home sales both year-to-date and year-over-year through May 2006. 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.

It’s a classic chicken-and-egg question: are foreclosures a cause or a symptom of the slumping housing market?

Gentle Ben Says the "R" Word...Finally!
Charles Schumer’s Joint Economic Committee this week, Bernanke reportedly admitted that the nation may actually be headed toward a recession. Many economists who were once naysayers — like Bernanke — are finally owning up to the fact that they may have been wrong, and that a recession is already here. All that seems right with the world this time around is that we don’t have double-digit interest rates like back in the 1990s. Gentle Ben Bernanke has been careful not to ruffle any feathers on Capitol Hill since assuming his role as the chief caretaker of the U.S. economy.
