That FHA is steady as a rock. I see why Bush/congress wants to move all the loans over to it. BUT, lol doesn't that make us a socialist country?
REOs will rise 50% in the next 4 months.

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The blue line goes with the blue numbers, the red line goes with the red numbers. The data is quarterly, so Q1 had about 4000 sales, and about 2300 foreclosures. The main point is to show that sales were the lowest ever, and the foreclosures were the highest for a quarter. In other words Q1 was the worst of the worst.
Troop, I count three vacant properties in the townhome complex I rent in alone. It's not even new and only has about 30-40 units total. That's basically 10%. In an established neighborhood.
The next door one is vacant, on the MLS. The realtors keep leaving their cards in front of the window. Nobody has bothered to pick up the cards in two weeks. The place that I suspect is a foreclosure moved out a couple months back. A notice for the gas company has been hanging on the door. The windows are open and screen is off. Rain rolled right in. The ceiling fan was taken from the bedroom. The leather theatre recliners and stainless steel fridge is still sitting there. (I suspect it was too big whereever they took off too) The realtor with the sign doesn't return calls. The third unit, I don't know the story.
When I go for a walk, here comes the quad McMansions the guy built for himself and priced way above market. His extended family lives in two. The other two are empty. I can't count the for rent signs and empty houses as I walk around the neighborhood. They are too numerous.
I feel like Cole in The Sixth Sense, except I see empty houses...
THAT SUCKS, JACK.
That's like 45% of homeowners then? L O L
No guesses here... but I would definitely bail.

Even without the resets - higher taxes aren't going to help the pricer Irvine SFR's ...

Taxing the 'Not-So-Rich' Rich
Just what does it mean to be wealthy these days? When it comes to raising taxes, it's far from clear exactly where the line will be drawn. While Obama has said only couples making more than $250,000 will pay more, many analysts believe that number could change. "Rates at the top end are going up, but what does that mean for those making $200,000, $225,000, or $250,000?" asks Anne Mathias, the head of Washington policy research for the Stanford Group, an investment advisory firm.
...
Yet even if McCain is elected, analysts say taxes at the top end will probably rise. With the Democrats likely to wield a stronger grip on Congress after the election, there's little chance they'd agree to a renewal of all the Bush cuts. "People think the President can just extend the cuts, but he can't," says Stanford Group's Mathias. All of which explains why Mathias has been warning her clients that the next couple of years "will be a very bad time to be rich." Whatever, precisely, that means.

SubprimeARM - PrimeARM- All the resets are coming faster
and the biggest thing to come is the optionARM market.
Credit Suisse has a new chart:
interestingly, in the comments at JimtR's site, RobDawg has a really informative tidbit:
the option ARMS go full AM sooner than I had thought.
110%-115%-125% of the original loan balance or home value whichever is lower.
June 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRob Dawg
So all the 25% price drops in the markets around the country mean that EVERY SINGLE optionARM is now subject to reset,
as soon as the banks send the letters to the homedebtors

"About 10% of the homes built after 2000 are now vacant, according to the Census Bureau, compared with roughly 2% of homes built earlier".
Can this quote be for real ? Is that the whole country ? I mean, I can see this being true in say Phoenix area, Las Vegas, Sacramento.... but perhaps those market vacancies are skewing the average.
If it's true, it's shocking.

Delinquency Rates for Subprime, Alt-A, and Prime
despite home prices dropping heavily in the past year, loans originated in '07 of all types are going delinquent at a faster rate than buyers in prev yrs. it's a reminder to all those who believe the bottom is near -- it's not even close. we might be slowly putting WTF prices behind us and maybe the next few yrs will indeed be the bottom for prices. but it'll linger there for a loooong time as today's WTF loans will still be getting weeded out of the system even a few yrs from now.

Great charts, apcme!
Why is 2000 listed and not 2001, 2002?
Why does 2000 seem so much worse than 2003-2005?

A little nugget I ran across over on CR:
the numbers for current CLTV > 120 are:
subprime: ~60%
alt-a: ~42%
option arm: ~40%
prime: ~15%
What percentage of homedebtors with CLTV > 120 will jinglemail/walkaway?
Anyone have a guess?

Quote of the day:
For CA, both subprime (500k loans) and alt-A (720k loans) are 70% adjustables, so that means 850k adjustables
That means 600k loans are going to default prior to reset! just in CA!!!
(anybody know the number of CA primer ARMs? have to add those in too, i guess)

I guess this means that people aren't in denial that they are in deep trouble... I can only assume that this means the people who bought in 2005-2007 see the writing on the wall and have just stopped paying. I know unemployment has risen, but this looks more like people throwing in the towel.
