Study Forecasts Rising Subprime Foreclosures
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.

Credit Card and Mortgage Debt Fuels Foreclosure
The study showed that consumers carried debt loads that substantially exceeded their income and, as a result, bankruptcy — or foreclosure — were their only reasonable options. Add mounting mortgage payments to the credit card debt and a gloomier picture emerges for overextended borrowers — in part because so many homeowners are now trapped by payments that are about to soar, even as the real estate market slumps. Debt! No word better describes why millions of Americans are now facing foreclosure.

California Tops PMI's Risk Index
Market Risk Index just released by the PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. Studying the 50 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the nation, scores increased for 34 out of the nation’s top 50 over a year earlier, with an average score of 342. However, economic fundamentals are strong in most of the 50 MSAs studied — particularly due to historically low unemployment rates and strong job growth — leading PMI to conclude that the severity of the price declines in most metros will be somewhat mitigated. Seven out of the 10 riskiest housing markets in the nation for home price deflation over the next two years are located in California, according to the Winter 2007 PMI U.S.

The five — Sacramento, Tampa, Phoenix, Detroit and Orlando — were also among the nation’s top metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) ranked by foreclosure rate, according to RealtyTrac, for the quarter studied by The NPD Group. People who bit off more than they could swallow in the last upswing of the real estate market now can’t afford to pay their readjusting mortgages, or their credit card debt, or higher prices on gas and food. The prolonged housing slump is having a measurable effect on the overall economy, and not just on home furnishings and housing supply chains (like Linens N’ Things, which recently filed for bankruptcy protection).
