Mortgage lenders move more foreclosures back into delinquent bucket: LPS

Mortgage lenders move more foreclosures back into delinquent bucket: LPS

Posted By JASON PHILYAW On March 1, 2011 @ 2:14 pm | No Comments

The number of foreclosure starts fell about 11.4% in January from a month earlier, but delinquency rates rose slightly because many lenders are moving loans out of foreclosure and back into the seriously delinquent category, according to Lender Processing Services (LPS ^[1]: 33.69 -0.82%).
The company's most-recent Mortgage Monitor also shows foreclosure timelines continue to climb with the average loan in foreclosure has been absent any payment for more than 500 days. Some 28% of loans in foreclosure haven't had a payment in more than two years.
The loan-level database of LPS tracks more than 36.2 million mortgages. The Jacksonville, Fla., firm said there were about 230,000 foreclosure starts in January, which is down 20% from a year earlier. The delinquency rate rose less than 1% in January to 8.9% from the month before but is 18.8% lower than the nearly 11% rate recorded in January 2010, according to data from LPS Applied Analytics.

There are more than 6.9 million mortgage loans in arrears with about 4.3 million more than 90-days late or in foreclosure. In early February, analysts at both DBRS and Standard & Poor's said the shadow inventory of distressed properties will push foreclosures to record levels in 2011 ^[2].
While the volume of foreclosure starts continues to wane, the number of repeat foreclosures are becoming more frequent. Loans in foreclosure outnumber foreclosure sales 25 to one, although that is somewhat attributable to the moratoria enacted last fall in all 50 states. Foreclosure starts outpace sales almost three to one, according to LPS data.
The company said mortgage refinancing activity declined significantly in January, as rising interest rates and several months of strong refi volume "reduced remaining opportunities." This also led to declines in prepayment speeds across all credit scores, LPS said.

Existing-Home Sales Rise in January 2011

Posted By susanne On February 23, 2011 @ 5:06 pm In Home Value News,Real Estate,Real Estate Information,Real Estate News,Real Estate Trends,Today's Marketplace,Today's Top Story - Consumer

^[1]RISMEDIA, February 24, 2011—The uptrend in existing-home sales continues, with January 2011 sales rising for the third consecutive month with a pace that is now above year-ago levels, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
Existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, increased 2.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.36 million in January from a downwardly revised 5.22 million in December, and are 5.3% above the 5.09 million level in January 2010. This is the first time in seven months that sales activity was higher than a year earlier.

Mortgage Rates Going Up? What Does It Mean To You?

Dream Home Wish List

by Carla Hill

There are millions of homes for sale across the country. How do you know which is the right one for you?
The key to getting just the right fit is to develop a wish list. From the lifestyle you want to live to the style of home that best fits your needs, a wish list is a great way for you and your real estate agent to be clear on your objectives.
1. Fixer-upper vs. Move-in ready: Many buyers look at homeownership as a way to make their mark on a property. They are confident in their renovating skills, or are eager to hone them. Part of the appeal may also be that many fixer-upper homes cost considerably less than comparables which are move-in ready. Be sure to sit down and consider what you want homeownership to mean for you.
2. Location: Are you needing to be near public transportation, rail lines, and subways? Keep in mind that in larger metro areas, close proximity to transit can send prices sky high. You'll also want to think about entertainment, restaurants, and night life. Is it important to be near the hustle and bustle, or away from it?
3. Schools: It's no secret. The quality of various public and private schools range widely. Be sure to research school districts before starting your home search.
4. Architectural Style: Some people are drawn to the clean lines and light and bright spaces of a modern design, while others enjoy the cozy charm of a Victorian home. Leaf through magazines, do searches online, and read up in architectural books to decide on what style of home best fits your ascetic.
5. Upgrades: Are you geared towards granite? Do you marvel at marble? There are certain upgrades that buyers covet. Make a list of what upgrades you would most like to see in your dream home. This can include professional-grade appliances, luxury tiles, or energy efficient upgrades.
6. Interior Styling: If you have allergies, then you may abhor carpet. And while replacing flooring isn't a budget breaker for some, it can be for others. Interior stylings can be changed, but time and money are always a factor. By having in mind the type of interior you most desire, you can cut out homes that will be too much work.
7. Great Yard Expectations: For some buyers, the perfect yard is one that requires zero maintenance (hello, condo owners). For others, however, the ideal yard is large, private, and landscaped. Be sure to contemplate on what best fits your lifestyle.
8. Old vs. New: Old homes can carry a lot of charm, but they can also require hefty maintenance. New homes are not maintenance free, but they may come with certain warranties from the builder to protect you for a few years down the road.
9. To Garage or Not Garage: Do you want a detached or attached garage? Detached garages are perfect for homeowners who work on noisy or smelly projects. This way the house maintains a distance. Other buyers prefer to have a warm walk from the kitchen to their car each morning. What works best for your lifestyle?
10. Detached or Attached: Single-family detached, condo, or income property? There are many choices when it comes to homes. Condo owners love the ease and convenience of living in a community with extra amenities. Single-family dwellers love the privacy and space their homes provide. And income property owners love having a renter that helps pay part of their mortgage.
It's important to remember that chances are you won't get all of the items on your wish list, but having a solid list written out will help guide you in the right direction during the search for your dream home.
