U.S. commercial property sales transactions were off nearly 70 percent in the first quarter of 2008 versus a year earlier, according to research firm Real Capital Analytics. Buyers and sellers remain locked in a game of chicken, with neither wanting to compromise on price. This test of will has led to gaps as wide as 15 percent between bidding and asking prices. Rather than sell at a loss, some

At first glance, the Option ARM loan seems like a great product, but only if it's used responsibly. In the past, it was tapped by astute borrowers who had a varied income (such as salespeople and the self-employed), who could elect to pay a minimum amount during some months (like on a credit card) but then make up for the shortfall when more money was available. What it wasn't intended for was a

I found this blog entry on Calculated Risk. If you did not see it, it brilliantly and concisely demonstrates the problems facing the market in the foreseeable future. From Calculated Risk: In the ’90s, as prices fell in California, foreclosure activity (using Notice of Defaults NODs) increased. Prices bottomed in 1996, as foreclosure activity peaked. Now imagine what will happen over the next few years as house prices fall. Foreclosure activity is already at record levels (2007 estimated on graph). Yet, as prices fall, foreclosure activity will probably continue to increase - the activity will be literally off the chart! It is pretty difficult to but a bullish spin on that one. . .

Treasury Secretary calls on mortgage lenders to do more to identify borrowers in danger of default; urges flexibility.October 31 2007: 7:08 PM EDTWASHINGTON (AP) -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson urged the mortgage industry on Wednesday to do more to identify and help people who risk losing their homes because their monthly mortgage payments are resetting to higher levels.Paulson said one promising initiative was a mass mailing lenders participating in the Hope Now alliance are planning to use to let people know where they can get help.The new letters will start going out on Nov. 19. He said the effort involves two stages - "first, making contact with a borrower who is in trouble and, second, determining if there is an affordable mortgage product for that borrower and taking action."More than 1 million people could be in danger of losing their homes over the next two years as their initial low introductory adjustable rate mortgages reset to much higher rates.After a meeting at Treasu

Cancellation of debt could be a concern for people who have defaulted on their home mortgage.The bank holding your mortgage is required to file with the IRS Form 1099–C, Cancellation of Debt (COD), reporting the amount of COD to be included on the individual’s tax return.  The COD amount may include unpaid principal, accrued interest, penalties, and attorney fees.  If you are insolvent under state law when you default, the amount of COD is not considered income.  If you are working on a SHORT SALE, negotiate with the lender to waive the filing altogether.  I am not a CPA, so please check with your advisors. In the Ann Arbor Real Estate Market, many great people are finding themselves in this situation.

According to CNNMoney.com, Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary Darlene Williams states that loan defaults are stabilizing, and while we do see a market correction in some areas of the country, the overall economic forecast is not gloomy: “Our economic fundamentals are strong. Loan defaults are half of what they were in the 1980s and interest rates are low compared to the double-digit rates of 20 years ago,” she said. Subprime mortgages must stay despite the current crisis as they play an important role in increasing U.S. home ownership, Williams also said. “Subprime mortgages democratize credit, and so we don’t want to throw that option away,” she said. “Not all of these loans result in foreclosures.” About 5 percent of all U.S. mortgages are subprime, and only a fifth of those subprime mortgages are in risk of default… Go here to read the full article: Housing official: Defaults are stabilizing - Sep. 24, 2007

In the Prosper Forums, Risk_Reward wrote on incomes versus default rates and that post contained some interesting nuggets. It has been widely known in credit circles that higher income decreases credit risk. One reference: Sexton D. E. (1977). On the other hand, credit default risk decreases when the income and age increase. According to Carling K., Jacobson T., and Roszbach K’s study,

I got really frustrated with Prosper when they removed the cities from the borrower's listings. This is why: A study for CNNMoney.com by RealtyTrac, an online marketer of foreclosure properties, showed that 139 of California's ZIP codes fell within the top 500 for total foreclosure filings in the United States.

Problems in the mortgage market spread deeper and farther afield yesterday. Trading in the shares of a large mortgage company was suspended yesterday, and the nation’s largest insurer of home loans said its stake in a business that underwrites and invests in mortgage securities may be worthless. Earlier, a German bank acknowledged that its investments in American loans have deteriorated. The developments are the latest indications that the housing slump will affect a broader segment of the mortgage industry and that the problems will last longer than many officials had suggested earlier this year. Just last week, the nation’s biggest home lender, Countrywide Financial, acknowledged that defaults on second mortgages to prime borrowers were rising quickly. The New York Stock Exchange never opened trading in shares of American Home Mortgage yesterday after the company said late Friday that it would suspend its dividend and was facing “significant margin calls” from its banks. Alre

The default rate on subprime mortgage loans hit 12.4% in May, up 41 basis points from the rate recorded in April, and the foreclosure rate climbed to 5%, according to a Friedman Billings Ramsey report. FBR managing director Michael Youngblood said he expects the subprime default rate to continue to drift upward to 14.45% by April 2008. The default rate on subprime loans stood at 5.7% in May 2006 and the foreclosure rate was 2.73%. The report by the Alexandria, Va.-based investment banking firm also shows that the default rate on alternative-A loans rose to 2.69% in May, up 21 bps from that of the previous month. (The default rate includes loans 90 days or more past due, in foreclosure, and real estate owned.)

Matt over at Prosper Lending Review posted an article on how loan interest rates vary within a credit grade. One of his conclusions is that defaulted loans have a higher average interest rate than current loans. So, what do these numbers tell us? Well, if we look at loans in the B through HR categories, the loans that defaulted had a 1.7% through 2.6% higher interest on average than other loans
