- A New Age Of Housing Associations
By: Peter Aps | - Housing associations have come some way since the 'old days' when there were only a few of them and the number of properties available was limited. These days, there is a lot more property available because there are planning laws in force that ensure that developers make a share of property available to housing associations. These may be rented or sold to first time buyers.
With the boom in the property market over the last few years, home ownership has become fashionable and a mus ...

- Affordable Homes And First Time Buyers
By: Andy Jones | - Times have changed recently for first time buyers. House prices were rising weekly and more first time buyers were stretching themselves, some possibly borrowing up to 6 times their salaries.

Over the last year and a half now that the economy has taken a downturn, it is a different story. 100% mortgages are no longe ...

- Can I Get A Mortgage Modification On My Second Mortgage
By: Ray Heinson | - Home Loan modifications are created to make the mortgage payment easier to pay, generally by decreasing the interest rate, furthering the loan term and, rarely, by reducing the loan balance. It is not a mortgage refinance, which pays in full the current loan with a new home loan, but it is subject to lender approval.
The "Making Home Affordable" plan from the Obama administration, a new second-mortgage plan gives homeowners whose first mortgages are modified to automatically have payments ...

- People Will Not Want Mortgage Debt In The Future
By: Lawrence Roberts | - The next big psychological change to impact housing will be a change in homebuyer's relationship with debt. When prices were going up, and nobody thought they were going to have to pay the debt off themselves, people borrowed all they could. Once prices stopped going up, and people were faced with paying off these enormous debts, the appetite for borrowing cooled significantly.
Equity can be created in a home in two ways: you can pay down the debt, and the house price can apprecia ...

- The Pent-up-demand Meme Is Complete Nonsense
By: Lawrence Roberts | - The realtor spin about "pent up demand" is complete nonsense. There is probably a lot of pent up desire for housing, but demand is measured in dollars, and there is a major lack of demand with the absence of lender funds, and a large and growing "pent up supply" of foreclosures.
Nobody wants to lose money when they sell their house. Many sellers put no money down, so they were not losing any money, only their credit score. However, many sellers have lost some of their own money. S ...

- The Key To Housing Affordability Is Not Mortgage Finance

Lenders, builders, realtors and buyers all benefit from affordable housing because affordability means an increase in transaction volumes and more money into the pockets of those dependant on the real estate ma ...

- Which Direction Will The Springfield Illinois Housing Market Go?
By: Fritz Pfister | - There were encouraging signs for the Springfield housing market the week following Valentines Day. Local Realtors posted 94 sales pending for the best week of the year by far. The burst in activity pushed the sales pending for the year a dozen ahead of the same time frame in 2008.
The real barometer however is the number of closed sales because not all the sales pending will close. Through February 20, closed sales lagged 25 behind 2008, or down by 8.6%. February of 2008 was one o ...

- The Current Housing Market
By: Alan Sharp | - The housing economy has gone through some dramatic changes this decade. The current real estate market has seen drastic price declines in nearly all of the US. The number of houses and condos for sale in major areas is at record highs, and there are more homes in default in history.
The reason we're seeing these dramatic market shifts is because lending guidelines became too lenient. Buyers that shouldn't have qualified for loans, were now qualified. Another factor that promoted ...

- The Stimulus Bill And Housing
By: Fritz Pfister | - In 2008 the Bush administration implemented a $7,500 tax credit for first time home buyers. Although well intentioned the proposal has had little impact upon home sales in Springfield Illinois, and probably across the nation. Why? The money had to be paid back, and was limited to only first time buyers of homes.
The reason our economy is in a tail spin is due to the federal government under Clinton ordering Fannie-Mae, Freddie-Mac, and HUD to make home loans more affordable for lo ...

- Unaffordable House Prices, Will It Last Forever?
By: Lawrence Roberts | - During the housing bubble, prices detached from their fundamental valuations and became very inflated. This price inflation created a situation where affordability dropped to record low levels in many real estate markets. The fear of buyers was that failure to purchase a property would mean they would never be able to own because they would be priced out forever. For this fear to be realized, prices much sustain inflated levels of low affordability forever. Is this possible?

- Higher Interest Rates And Residential Real Estate Markets - What Would Happen?
By: Lawrence Roberts | - A key factor impacting the fundamental value of housing and thereby the bottom is interest rates. Higher interest rates would devastate residential real estate markets. When interest rates go up, the amounts borrowed go down assuming a consistent payment. As amounts borrowed go down, so do real estate prices.
Interest rates went down during the price decline in the early 90s. That softened the impact and made the decline take somewhat longer. When interest rates are declining, bub ...

- Providing Affordable Home Resources In The State Of Connecticut
By: Samson Paulotti | - Since the year 2000, prices of homes in Connecticut have risen up to 70 percent, which is not commensurate with increases in wages and income resources for residents. Rising at a rate that is twice more fast than wages, median home prices have become unaffordable to median wage earners. Residents in the 25 to 34 year old bracket have flocked to other states since 1990 due to lack of affordable housing resources. The rate of loss in this bracket is higher than all the other states.
