Are Sub-Prime Foreclosures High Because People Lost Their Jobs or Because The Loans Reset to Much Higher Rates

August 29th, 2009 | by admin |
Joe asked:


Have most sub-prime mortgages been “adjustable”?

Are foreclosures up so high because people lost their jobs?

Or are foreclosures so high because the loans adjusted to such a high rate of interest that people are unable to make the payments? If so, about how many percentage points did the “reset” go up compared to the initial terms?

Were the size of the “resets” much higher than would have been expected? Or were the resets no surprise?

      High adjustable rates. Some doubled after a year or two. They were higher than expected.

      It isn’t because of jobs, it is because of the rates, they’ve gone up significantly. The Fed has raised rates 17 times for several years and just now cut it for the first time. For more information on how foreclosures work and how they happen, suggested reading below.
