Lower Delinquencies Experienced by Freddie MAC

It's a good indicator that the recovery is taking shape. From DS News < http://dsnews.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59816bad6939d5a7dd87e45a5&i d=b1d4b6c7e1&e=ebe71b748c > Freddie Mac's Delinquencies Decline for Fourth Straight Month The percentage of home loans going unpaid is steadily declining for the nation's second largest mortgage company. Freddie Mac reported Tuesday that its single-family seriously delinquent rate decreased to 3.63 percent in March. That's down 15 basis points from 3.78 percent in February, and the fourth consecutive month that the rate has headed south. With only a few intermittent blips upward over the last year, Freddie has recorded a drop in its seriously delinquent rate in nine of the past 12 months. < http://dsnews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=59816bad6939d5a7dd87e45a5& id=ee77b228f4&e=ebe71b748c > > Read More -sunil SUNIL SETHI REAL ESTATE Sunil Sethi / Broker, President, REALTOR, MBA, CPA (inac

Within this distressed property segment, the market analysis shows a boom in short sales during the month of March to a record-high 19.6 percent, and a drop in the proportion of damaged REO, which the report says should be a positive for home values in future months. < http://dsnews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=59816bad6939d5a7dd87e45a5& id=807ffa10b1&e=ebe71b748c > > Read More -sunil SUNIL SETHI REAL ESTATE Sunil Sethi / Broker, President, REALTOR, MBA, CPA (inactive) 38750 Paseo Padre Pkwy Suite B3 / Fremont, CA 94536 < ht

Facts about Energy Efficient Mortgage (FHA)

Just stop interfering with the invisible hand. Let the market self-correct. People will be better off afterwards.

More govt. interference will just delay the markets necessary flushing. Prices will adjust to where people can afford things naturally. Artificial stimuli, subsided loans, tax credits create artificial demand, and when this is removed from the market, it creates a void which results in another decrease in prices. Tell the government to stop interfering. Stop subsidizing and drugging the housing market. < http://dsnews.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59816bad6939d5a7dd87e45a5&i d=71aff7cb0c&e=ebe71b748c > California Expands Eligibility for $2 Billion Foreclosure Relief Programs The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) expanded eligibility criteria for several of the Keep Your Home California programs to make them available to a larger number of families at risk of losing their homes, including those with home equity loans and recently originated mortgages.
