The foreclosure rates are climbing at an alarming rate. By foreclosure rate is meant the proportion between the number of houses and foreclosed units. It is the foreclosure rate that indicates the intensity of the crisis in a particular region.
To combat this astronomical increase in foreclosure rates many steps were taken by the government. In the first phase the attempts were made towards shoring up the financial corporations that had gone red – undercapitalized and underscored by their creditors. The reasoning was that if they were allowed to fall flat the foreclosure rates would go up further causing worse damage. Measures along these lines are continuing and the threat of the entire system collapsing has receded.
The second phase aimed at reducing interest rates of mortgage borrowers. It has benefited a limited number of borrowers. But those in the thick of the battle remained outside this oasis.
The third phase aims at shrinking mortgage rates. The financial mess started with the housing market and will not end until that has been put in order.
An important step forward being implemented is the matter of bankruptcy laws. By empowering judges to alter mortgage terms it is hoped that foreclosure rates will be contained.
To restore confidence the government has agreed to guarantee many toxic financial assets but how far that will tell on foreclosure rates it is too early to comment.
So far there has been no visible impact and foreclosure rates continue to maul the economy. The latest threat is that of commercial properties joining the ranks. According to analysts a whole set of borrowers are poised to have their mortgage interest increase and this will further increase the foreclosure rate.
