More Disturbing Housing Market Data

more than half of Washington Mutual's ARM borrowers can't even pay their vig these days.

"The answer, at least from banks, is already clear: Float the loans. The following figures are from Washington Mutual's
annual report: At the end of 2003, 1% of WaMu's option ARMS were in negative amortization (payments were not covering
interest charges, so the shortfall was added to principal). At the end of 2004, the percentage jumped to 21%. At the end
of 2005, the percentage jumped again to 47%. By value of the loans, the percentage was 55%."


from a Barron's article.


more stats:

"Some more numbers:

-- 32.6% of new mortgages and home-equity loans in 2005 were interest only, up from 0.6% in 2000

-- 43% of first-time home buyers in 2005 put no money down

-- 15.2% of 2005 buyers owe at least 10% more than their home is worth

-- 10% of all home owners with mortgages have no equity in their homes

-- $2.7 trillion dollars in loans will adjust to higher rates in 2006 and 2007."

Yup, people who bought within the last 6 months are fucked if they need to sell their house anytime in the next few years. On the other hand, this is great for buyers :-)

Just wait, the market WILL correct itself. Its going to happen, how much? I dunno, but prices here in Vancouver are crazy, obviously driven by the Olympics. Interesting fact my financial advisor told me; If you look at every place thats had the olympics, about 2-3 years before it happens, the real estate market has always crashed or gone down prior to the games. Great example, Sydney's market is STILL recovering.. For now, i'll keep renting, there will be plenty of selections on places in the not to near future ;) Thank god for all those no down payment mortgages..

Bought our house is 2004.

Not interest only loan.
Put down 20,000.00
House is worth alot more than we paid.
Have 65,000.00 in equity on it already since we bought in the right area at the right time.

If you owned your house outright it seems like you would have a lot to lose if someone decided to sue your ass for all you have..

if you have an investment making a higher return with your money than you are paying in mortgage interest, absolutely a bad idea to pay cash for a house.

Another tip: Buy in da 'hood where the neighborhoods are going through gentrification. In South Seattle you can get great deals in the supposed ghetto (Seattle's ghetto is like Beverly Hills compared to other big city ghettos). I just bought a house with a full view of lake washington for under $300K (insane for Seattle). Sure, some of my neighbors are shady. But every month more young professionals are moving in. I'm already eyeing two empty lots in my neighborhood which have views.

Sure is - doubt we have seen anything yet - and it's not just the US that will be feeling a pinch - a few other countries are already overblown on real estate and the cracks are showing.

True.. in a "conventional market" with a suing culture there is risk. Outside it's called a corp structure where the corp owns the asset and never trades and has little chance of ever being sued - course, you own the corp It's a fairly common practice in several other countries.

It's a fairly common practice in THIS country.

Problem there - tho you got to know better, - is that if there is litigation and a claim, a court will want transparency in assets. If that is required, basically shares in a capital holding corp are assets, - and hence can be "attacked".

May be wrong man - but is fairly common situation in most "western countries" and sure is in the EU.

PS.. Unless there is some form of trust involved - harder to claim against a trust, but still possible.

Mmm... Better explain... The legal system in some countries will not permit disclosure of beneficial owners/shareholders of a corp - they are basically against privacy laws and no public record of ownership exists. There are also some other laws which come into play.. bottom line, no person can "attack" a corp where they have no evidence of ownership - a judge would not listen to claims of that nature.

The result is.. folks have any relevant assets in corps.. stuff like homes and even cars. If a vehicle in involved in an accident and a massive claim is awarded in court - and eg. the insurer is not willing to settle the level of claim - the most that can be lost is the vehicle value. (Vehicles obviously are on a registry and the ownership declared)

In the US on closely held corporations, the suing party may "pierce the corporate veil" and go after the shareholders/owners.

Properly insure yourself, most cases are settled out of court and the insurance pays.

I have host liquor libility insurance for one mill and a personal umbrella insurance policy for 2 mill that goes on top of my other policies. Their costs are small if added to basic policies.

What isn't being told is 98% of these people can refi with a new ARM at
two points higher ($few hundred extra per month) or refi with a 30 or 40 year fixed for maybe $600 more per month.

The question is are they smart enough to do this before it's too late ?

Agree - there is significance to your words - "closely held corporation"
