Foreclosures are nothing new to the mortgage world of lending and borrowing. The country has been in the past familiar with foreclosure crisis also but what is new about the foreclosure crisis raging across America today is its astronomical tsunami proportions. In previous years during the last century the real estate market did not tumble and people were able to save themselves by selling off the houses and starting life anew. Then also in yester years the economy was there to sustain the losses allowing individuals and the nation to see another dawn. But the foreclosure crisis of today has broken all past records in its intensity and its negative effects have spilled over to engulf many countries of the world.
The foreclosure crisis being experienced today is just the symptom of a deeper malaise. Experts generally blame the sub-prime mortgage crisis for the present foreclosure crisis. Regulations were lowered and sub-prime mortgages were peddled to all and sundry who could not qualify for prime mortgages. In sub-prime lending there were no conditions – no income levels or proof of earning. Even credit history was not checked and sometimes down payments were waived. The initial interest was very low exclusive of principal and the gullible borrowers were made to believe that the floating rates would never go up. Money began to flow into the market and there was frenetic housing activity.
The mortgages were parceled, sliced and sold to outside investors using new types of financial tools. With property prices going up the general belief was that this trend would continue. But when interest rates increased thousands – nay millions – fell into delinquency triggering off a foreclosure crisis of unprecedented proportions.
