  • Where Is The Epicenter Of The Housing Bubble?
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - The epicenter of the housing bubble is located in Irvine, California. One of the primary causes of the bubble was the lowering of lending standards and the extension of credit to people who could not handle the responsibility: Subprime borrowers. The word "subprime" has become indelibly linked to the housing bubble. It is one of the causal factors that make the bubble unique, and the collapse of subprime is widely regarded as the pin-prick which began the bubble's deflation.

  • The Housing Bubble Was A Massive Real Estate Ponzi Scheme
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - People have not fully grasped the changes that will result from the deflation of the housing bubble. There are many historic parallels with the closest being The Great Depression. When the stock market bubble of the 1920s began to deflate in late 1929, few thought the boom times of the decade were over, and even fewer saw the disaster coming of The Great Depression. The 2008/2009 recession will not likely reach the severity of The Great Depression, but it will signal the end to the lifestyle to ...

  • The Key To Housing Affordability Is Not Mortgage Finance

  • Changing Appraisal Methods Would Prevent The Next Housing Bubble
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - Investor confidence in the market for CDOs and all mortgages was shaken during the decline of the housing bubble, and rightly so. Investors were losing huge sums, and nobody clearly understood why.

  • Housing Bubble Economic Problems - Have We Seen The Worst?
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - The foremost problem resulting from the deflation of the housing bubble was the imperilment of our banking and financial system. The bailouts emanating from Congress have mostly focused on keeping the banking system solvent. Considering most institutions were secretly bankrupted by the housing collapse, this was not small problem. The economic ramifications are severe, and 2009 will likely not be the end of the crisis.

    The Great Depression was precipitated by the collapse of margi ...

  • Housing Bubble Causes - Why Did It Happen?
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - The housing bubble was caused by an expansion of credit that enabled irrational exuberance and wild speculation. The expansion of credit came in the form of relaxed loan underwriting terms including high debt-to-income ratios, lower FICO scores, high combined-loan-to-value lending including 100% financing, and loan terms permitting negative amortization.

    Addressing the conditions of expanding credit is a legitimate focus for intervention in the credit markets. Another major lendi ...

  • Future Housing Bubbles - Should We Prevent Them?
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - The deflation of housing bubbles is very financially and emotionally painful, and if possible, they should be avoided. The pain of the deflation of a housing bubble cannot be avoided by trying to keep the bubble inflated, or by trying to deflate it slowly. The only way to avoid these problems is to prevent the bubble from inflating in the first place through some form of intervention in the mortgage market. Intervention can take the form of a market-based intervention demanded by investors and r ...

  • 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 Housing Bubble - What Buyers Need To Know
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - During the decline of house prices in the deflation of the housing bubble, price levels will fall to fundamental valuations of historic levels of appreciation, price-to-rent ratios, and price-to-income ratios. The nominal price declines may be impacted by inflation and monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, but inflation adjusted prices will fall precipitously.

    As people put less money toward housing payments either by choice or by tightening lender standards, prices will not be ...

  • Housing Bubble Credit Expansion - Credit Inflated The Housing Bubble
    By: Lawrence Roberts | - The housing bubble was inflated by a massive expansion of credit and the influx of capital into residential mortgages. The expansion of credit took four forms: lower interest rates, lowering or eliminating qualification requirements, different amortization methods, and higher allowable debt-to-income ratios.

    Lower interest rates expand credit by allowing larger sums to be borrowed with the same payment amount. In 2000, the interest rate on a 30-year mortgage was 8.05%, and in 200 ...
