Articles about Foreclosures
Foreclosures are marching ahead creating continuous problems.
The sub-prime mortgages triggered foreclosures to unmanageable proportions. The original idea was to realize the great American dream of owning a house. This dream was beyond the hopes of many who could not qualify for prime mortgages. The latter required certain income levels and good credit score. The sub-prime mortgages with initial low interest rates seemed to be the answer to this dichotomy.
But the whole idea boomeranged because of greed and mismanagement. The borrowers were peddled loans they never had a chance to manage. Smart talking brokers fueled by heavy commissions made borrowers believe that the floating rates would never go up. In any case since the price of property was increasing by leaps and bounds there was always the hope that one could sell the unit and escape foreclosures.
But suddenly the real estate market collapsed as simultaneously thousands of borrowers failed to pay their mortgages. This kicked off foreclosures by the banks but there were so many of them choking the market that prices fell to record low levels.
Foreclosures have ruined not only the borrowers but also banks and construction section of the economy. It has had a chain reaction on other economic zones causing recession. Witt stocks falling the impact of foreclosures have been global. Politicians are a worried lot scrambling with one measure after another. The worst sufferers are the abandoned pets and the young children growing up without a safe roof above their heads.
Foreclosures are not to be blamed for this mess – it has always been a righteous tool by which unpaid dues could be collected from recalcitrant borrowers. It is the misuse of foreclosures that has led to this mayhem.
