Overt Operative asked:


America’s leading sub-prime lender is in bankruptcy and others are not far behind.
Sub-prime lenders provide variable rate mortgages to people who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for a home loan. These loans account for 20% of the homes sold in the already troubled housing market.
With rising interest rates, the default rate on existing home loans have skyrocketed, which has left the sub-prime lenders holding the bag. As a result, the bottom will literally fall out of the housing market this year.
Will the combination of increasing energy prices and a falling housing market lead us into recession? Or, is our economy strong enough to absorb the loss?

      The energy crisis alone will be enough to throw this country into a recession. If we have a major lending institution on the verge of bankruptcy, it certainly isn’t going to help the situation.

      Boy, I’m just getting ready to break ground on some townhouses so I’m hoping the market will rebound this summer. I’m also hoping that the mortgage lenders would tighten up the criteria of who they loan money to and how much they will qualify them for. I think that the abundance of 90%+of value loans makes for a very shaky housing market. If there is a hiccup in the economy the market takes a big hit when that big of a % of your income goes to your house payment.
