The Real Shock Might Be That Foreclosures Aren't Higher

March 18, 2009

Rise in foreclosures 'a shock' | money.cnn.com

The exceptionally weak housing market and weak economy will likely drive foreclosures higher. Foreclosure mitigation efforts so far have failed to produce proper incentives for borrowers, especially when a home's price falls further after loan restructuring.

Bank Failures On The Rise

March 16, 2009

Surge in Bank Failures Expected in '09 | online.wsj.com

The volume and severity of distress currently in the market will almost certainly drive an increasing failure rate among banks. This is creating both challenges and opportunities in the banking and real estate sectors. Distressed loan and property sales are expected to increase, as the FDIC struggles to keep up with the growing list of closed institutions.

Cracks in the Dike - More Trouble Ahead

December 5, 2008

Delinquencies Tick Up On Construction Loans | login.nreionline.com

Construction financing is becoming much more difficult to obtain. Residential (single family and condo) amounts outstanding have been contracting since 2006. Commercial construction is still expanding, albeit at reduced rates (4-5% per quarter vs. 14% per quarter during 2006 and 2007), and really is only for projects already underway. Deteriorating credit quality means more pressure ahead on banks, including some that are exposed to commercial mortgages and commercial construction, and that have reported better relative performance.
