I lived in a brand new home and hated it since I was surrounded by construction for 9 months afterwards and had a home with pratcically no yard. And the closest store was 2 miles away since nothing had been built yet. The landascaping was brand new and just didn't look good.

I'll take a 10 year old well kept home in a good neighborhood with mature landscaping, established commerical ammenties and things like that over a spec house any day.

So I think well kept, older homes in good neighborhoods will hold up pretty well, or at least relatively better than spec homes.; March 26, 2007 10:02 PM

U.S. Foreclosure Filings Rise 12 Percent in February (Update3)

By Bob Ivry

March 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. foreclosure filings last month jumped 12 percent compared with a year ago as owners struggled with declining home values and higher adjustable mortgage rates.

More than 130,000 homes entered foreclosure last month, according to a report from RealtyTrac, an online listing of foreclosed properties. That's the second-highest since RealtyTrac began collecting data in January 2005.

The worst housing slump in more than a decade is pushing down home prices and hampering the ability of owners to refinance mortgages. Borrowers with poor or incomplete credit are also vulnerable to mortgages that are resetting at higher rates than introductory or so-called teaser rates.

``The rise in foreclosures over the past year probably only marks the beginning of the problem,'' Jan Hatzius, a Goldman, Sachs & Co. economist, wrote in a March 23 report. ``The main reason to expect further deterioration is that house prices are likely to fall significantly in 2007, with further declines possible in subsequent years.''

Foreclosures in 2007 may rise by one-third compared with last year should rates continue at the level seen in January and February, RealtyTrac Chief Executive Officer James Saccacio said in a statement today.

New Home Sales Fall

The foreclosures may further swell the number of unsold homes. New home sales in the U.S. unexpectedly fell last month to the lowest level in almost seven years and the supply of unsold homes climbed to the highest in 16 years, the Commerce Department said today.

The Standard & Poor's measure of the largest U.S. homebuilders slid as much as 3.1 percent after the government report. Purchases dropped 3.9 percent to an annual pace of 848,000 last month, less than the gain to 985,000 forecast by economists in a Bloomberg News survey.

One in every 884 U.S. households moved into the foreclosure process, which can range from default notices for late payment to auction sales and bank repossessions, Irvine, California- based RealtyTrac said. Banks typically start foreclosing after payments are 90 days late.

On a month-to-month basis, foreclosures are slowing. The rate at which homes were entering foreclosure decreased in February by 3.9 percent from adjusted January numbers, RealtyTrac said. In January, 136,113 homes entered foreclosure.

Florida Foreclosures

Florida reported 19,144 houses entering the foreclosure process in February, the most of any state, RealtyTrac said. It was followed by California, with 16,273, and Texas, with 12,386.

Nevada posted the highest percentage rate last month with one foreclosure filing for every 278 households. Nevada's rate was 77 percent higher than in February 2006, RealtyTrac said.

The state with the lowest rate was Vermont, with one foreclosure filing in February among its 294,382 households.

Washington, D.C. had no foreclosures, according to RealtyTrac.

Interest rates on about $775 billion worth of subprime loans -- those given to borrowers with bad or incomplete credit -- are scheduled to rise in the last nine months of 2007, according to Bear Stearns Cos.

Median Prices

The median U.S. home price was $212,800 in February, 1.3 percent less than a year ago and down 7.6 percent from a record in July.

One-fifth of home loan borrowers have adjustable rate mortgages, according to Credit Suisse Group. About 15 percent of the $9.5 trillion U.S. mortgages are subprime, according to Bear Stearns.

``People who bought homes in the 1980s and 1990s started refinancing their equity out in the 2000s, so we can't assume that foreclosures will only affect people who bought their homes in the last couple of years,'' said Schahrzad Berkland, who publishes the California Housing Forecast in San Diego. ``And a lot of adjustable-rate mortgages were taken out by prime borrowers, so we can't assume that the more qualified borrowers will be immune to losing their homes.''

Most homeowners who enter the foreclosure process do not lose their homes, said Rick Sharga, vice president for marketing at RealtyTrac.

``Of the properties that enter our database as initial notice of default, only 40 percent of them actually go to the auction,'' Sharga said in an interview.

I did a 35k reduction in 30 days and dumped my luxury ghetto townhome. If I had not done that then I would have incurred another 15k in carrying costs + an special assessment because the HOA decided to put in the automatic sprinkler system the developer left out which ruined the greenspace in the community in addition to many homeowners thinking watering of the lawn was included.

The Thinker said...: Keith, any seller can sell their house in a relatively short period of time for far more than they paid for the place 5 years ago and for far more than its worth.

The seller only has trouble unloading his house when he holds out for what the Joneses got for their house last year.

Lets not forget, this is still very much A SELLERS MARKET. That is to say, a seller can easily sell their house for far more than the fundamentals would dictate the house is worth.

Housing prices are still at ridiculously and unsustainable high levels.

Fraud in the formation of the contract is their only hope. In fact anything that taints the "formation of the contract" (e.g. duress, intoxication etc) will void the contract. But ORAL assertions about what the contract contains before or during formation of the contract will not be made part of the contract. So by waiving the reading of the contract and relying upon the oral assertions of the parties at the table holding the pen saying anything about the contract is done at your own peril.

All docs need to be delivered before the closing by several days and you need to scrub them with an attorney retained to represent YOU and not the title insurance company nor anyone else. Remeber everyone at the settlement table will be gone & paid seconds after you sign and you no longer have any power. BUT up until you sign, you have all the power. Demand that everything be explained. If they hymn & haw about getting the papers to you then tell them you will need an all day closing and that you'll bring your attorney to it and that they will be paying his fees.

Weed out bogus junk fees from the HUD-1. Just because the seller has agreed to pay the agent some bogus marketing fees does not bind you to pay them. Demand they be removed. go with a direct lender who is a pillar of your community and not some out of town/state parastic fly by night loan shark business recommended by a mortgage broker friend of an agent. They are just spreading YOUR wealth around. 'Nuff said.; March 27, 2007 12:23 AM

RealtyTrac, an online listing of foreclosed properties, must not handle the Vermont book of business.

Burlington Free Press, Sun., Mar. 25

"There were 158 foreclosures filed with Chittenden Superior Court in 2006, the highest number filed in Chittenden County since at least 1997, according to County Clerk Diane Lavallee. In January and February, there were 29 additional foreclosure filings, she said. If that pace continues, there will be 174 foreclosures in the county this year.

The problem is not limited to Chittenden County.

Foreclosures increased roughly 23 percent in northwestern Vermont, according to a Free Press analysis of foreclosures filed in Addison, Chittenden, Grand Isle, Lamoille and Washington counties. Addison County tallied the second-highest increase, at 36 percent; data were not available from Franklin County."; March 27, 2007 12:28 AM
Anonymous said...: Not all Forclosures are created equal. The lot we have today are first payment Forclosures, these are homes that have not had ONE payment made. The banks make money if you live in the house for 7 years, even if they forclose on you they make a profit after all is said and done. When these puppies are poping in 6 months-2 years the banks get creamed. They also need to take in account that 6 months - 2 years of these loans are not real payments, if its a teaser rate the bank is even further behind.

Now they can't borrow any more AND they have to pay interest (floating) on the old HELOCs. Used to be you could pay interest on HELOCs by HELOCing out NEW money. No longer.

It's like David Liarah said "people had 500,000 sitting in their pillows just doing nothing!".

Well, not quite. If they want that money to do something (liberate their equity!) they have to pay the money back WITH INTEREST.

Anonymous said...: Excellent observation THINKER. The THINKER is thinking in terms of the big picture. Any seller who was a pre-bubble owner and has no urgency to sell has nothing to lose by putting it out there for 04-05 bubble prices. They can drop "significantly" relative to the current/prevailing market and pay all the transaction costs out of the proceeds w/o concern or heartburn. The buyer will get a prevailing "good deal" but empirically, as THINKER noted, the buyer is getting a bad deal because the fundamentals which say current valuations are unrealistic.

A friend of mine thinks he got a good deal 560k for a townhome that was initially offered at a bubble price of 630k. The owner paid a quasi-bubble price directly from the developer but with a toxic mortgage product. The loan was in the adjustment zone and after 6 months on the market (an unheard of DOM here in NOVA/DC the last 5 years) he dropped price and got a buyer. But he paid something in the 400k range just 2 years prior. Many friends at the house warming were happy for him and the place is nice. But after we left and were talking in the driveway we all agreed that the place really just was not worth anything over 500k.; March 27, 2007 12:09 PM
The Thinker said...: The Thinker is certainly not delusional!

Honda Civics may sell well, but if they raise the price of the Honda Civic to $100,000 I am pretty sure they will stay on the lot for a long long time. Would that mean that the automobile industry has crashed? Unlikely!

So now what if people bought those $100,000 Honda Civics on 100% credit and try to sell them for $90,000 because that is what they need to satisfy their lien. I am still pretty sure the car wouldn't sell.

But don't be confused! The Honda Civic is still an excellent car with high demand, even if it won't sell for $100,000.

Do you get my point? If the price does not match the fundamentals then the product wont sell. This does not mean that there is not a high demand for the product. Demand for houses is currently so high that a house worth $200,000 could easily sell for $250,000 in less than a month! Unfortunately, the owner of the house worth $200,000 owes $300,000 on the house and doesent want to/cant sell the house for less than $300,000 and thus the house that is worth $200,000 languishes on the market because the price is unreasonable.; March 27, 2007 2:28 PM
Anonymous said...: It depends where on the housing bubble curve you bought your house. I bought my house in 2003 for $180,000 with a household income of $85,000 per year. Since then, the market value for my house has doubled, and the household income is now $110,000 per year.

I have refused to refinance to take equity out of the house. I pay for all upgrades with the money that I save and I make extra mortgage prepayments every chance I get.

People have asked me, "You got a nice 1400 sq ft starter home, and since you make more money now, when are you going to upgrade to a bigger house?" I'm not a stupid moron--I'm staying where I am right now. Changing places of residence is a pain in the ass.

And if the job market crashes and I have to take a lower-paying job, those prepayments will allow me to restructure my payment plan that is within my means when the time comes to negotiate another 5 year term with the bank (In Canada, mortgages are usually 15, 20 or 25 years with 5 year fixed rate terms).; March 27, 2007 2:58 PM

Why is it everyone continues to figure purchase price minus selling price = PROFIT?!?!?

It doesn't work that way especially since most of your money goes towards interest and very little to equity. When it is all said and done, you pay around 3-4 times what your house cost. To be fair you need to deduct mortgage payment total plus any repairs or upgrades plus down plus what you currently owe minus selling price, and thats what you got.

So based on your calcs above you might have made around 100K, which still isn't bad.; March 27, 2007 5:47 PM

I can say that most people I know are in trouble because they REFIED or HELOCd the shit out of their homes. Most thinking prices would still be going up and away still so why not take out another 80k for the Escalade, new tits, 80inch LCD and the $2000 dollhouse? It was too damn tempting for people to not take out money on the house as prices went nuts here in the last 5 years. I have tremendous will power and a ball busting wife when it comes to finances so that kept me in check when I saw that new 50 inch plasma at Costco everytime.
Now most of these poor saps are trying desperately to sell their home and not willing to drop the price becuase they owe a certain amount to the bank.
The only guy I feel sorry for is my neighbor. He had plans to stay a while (10years?) so he took the HELOC so he did tons of new upgrades to the house. Looks nice. His wife recently ran over a pedestrian and they are getting sued for about 150k so he needs to sell. Tough break.

Saying interest payment is a cost of owning is absolutely ridiculous.

If I pay $1500 for mortgage who cares whether the $1500 is $1499 interest and $1 principle of vice versa? When you rent 100% of your rent goes to the landlord. When you own 95% of the mortgage goes to the bank in interest. Get it?

The only cost of owning is the after-tax foregone interest earned on the down payment and any difference in mortgage vs. rent costs if any. Plus whatever maintenance is paid for. In my case I owned the home for 2 years. It was a brand new home, no repairs, no maintenance. So that cost was $0.; March 27, 2007 10:34 PM
