The housing industry prices are still far from their fundamental rates. House prices are still far beyond any historically known relationship to rents or salaries. Its amazing to see where the rent is these day almost at 3% of the yearly purchase prices. Mortgage rates are at 6% so it costs almost twice as much to borrow money from the bank than to simply pay rent. If you were to add the total you pay monthly mortgage,insurance and maintenance its almost about 9%. Anyone who buys today will immdiately incur losses for the next five to seven years, because rents and salaries are far from reality.
Home buyers borrowed way to much and can no longer pay the interest, this is one of the main causes of the mass foreclosures nationwide and “senators” are talking about taking YOUR hard earned money to pay for the your neighbors mansion.
Banks have no problem loaning whatever amount the borrower asks for, as long as they can repay the loan. By reselling the loan they put all the risk onto Fannie Mae which are tax payers or onto mortgage backed security buyers. If you’re not aware of it, then it’s very clear that there will be a loan amounting to almost $ 1 trillion that will go unpaid. Now that this trillion-dollar debt will not be paid, the FNMA is under pressure to avoid buying high-risk loans, with many investors not even wanting to touch mortgage-backed securities.
For lending standards to return to their traditional standings, this means a return of prices to their own traditional standings.
In todays market there is a shortage of first time home buyers and high house prices have been no help to new families with children. It is impossible for new families to buy a home at their current prices, and our government has yet to discuss the merits of lowering house prices in order to help our economy. Their main goal is to keep everyone in debt constantly so that bankers can earn interest on everyone.
Retirement for those belonging to the baby boomer generation is going to be very difficult. Around 77 million Americans were born between 1946 to 1964, with a third of them virtually having no retirement savings. The only money they have is in their equity and yet if they have any equity. For them to be able to access their equity one must sell their home, but here is the problem again no one can afford to buy at these outrages prices.
