The Guilty Mortgage Default

The Guilty Mortgage Default

Mortgage defaults have become as American as apple pie. And more than one
million Americans have had to let their houses slip into distress. After
seeing the crooked example of the Wall Street banks, Americans now have
a dilemma: Do we keep paying exorbitant rates or do we consider the
short sale process?

Sometimes getting out of an underwater mortgage is a way to trade up. With the
recent controversy surrounding foreclosures, banks are forced into a
position where they have to consider that foreclosures might be too
expensive for them. They must see the short sale process and take it as a
serious approach.

And with a market that favors renters, you could live in a better house and buy again after just three years.

Whereas short sales used to be a last resort and difficult to attain, they are
now a trend. And while the banks and the government are arguing over how
to stop the bleeding, the average Joe just can’t argue with numbers.
The cultural stigma that used to be associated with losing your home is
gone. After all, a million people can’t all be wrong, right? The
increase in this sort of behavior is partly due to a shifting culture
that no longer believes defaulting is immoral.

And it’s monkey see, monkey do out there as the proportion of short sales
in one zip code, increase faster and faster. Between the outrageously
cheap rental market, and the terrible rates most people are stuck in,
it’s often a no-brainer.

Some leading economists have called the short sale movement a “stealth
stimulus.” That’s a fancy way of saying that after the short sale
process, people have more money for I-Pads, clothes and going out-- Thus
boosting the luxury and retail sectors, while pushing the housing
market further down.

Why should you have to pay a mortgage you cannot afford? The readjustment
of these loans is actually stabilizing the economy through readjustment.
And it leaves a lot more cash in your pocket.

And of course hearing stories about increased quality of life from
neighbors and colleagues who have gone through a short sale can be a
bitter pill to swallow. It almost seems that following the rules of the
old system is no longer beneficial. The message boards are filled with
posts from people who have continued to pay terribly high interest rates
and stay in their underwater homes. Their overall message is regret.

In conclusion, the short sale process is mostly driven by American
self-interest. And whether or not if favors the banks just doesn’t seem
to matter anymore.
