A survey of bank risk managers says that home prices are unlikely to recover before 2020 and mortgage defaults will persist for years. The survey, conducted by the Professional Risk Managers’ International Association for FICO, found that 49% of respondents do not expect housing prices to rise back to 2007 levels for another nine years. Only 21% of respondents said they would. The findings, which authors called “a decidedly pessimistic outlook”, are a sharp reversal from cautious optimism the survey respondents expressed late last year and in early 2011. In addition, 73% of surveyed bankers say they expect mortgage defaults to remain elevated for at least another five years. And 46% believe mortgage delinquencies will increase over the next six months.

Only 15% of respondents expect mortgage delinquencies to decline during that period. A large number of respondents says they also expect to see an uptick in delinquencies on auto loans, credit cards and student loans. Small businesses are expected to continue face a challenging credit environment. More than one-third of respondents forecast an increase in delinquencies on small business loans. Bankers also appear to be pessimistic about recovery in consumer spending, with 64% of respondents expecting credit card usage to remain below pre-recession levels for at least five more years. Half of the respondents expect credit card balances to increase over the next six months, due to higher spending by some households and smaller monthly payments by others.

Home prices fell below the 2009 housing bust bottom in the first quarter, dropping 4.2% from the prior three months, according to the S&P Case-Shiller national home price index. The 20-city composite index was at 138.16, falling below the 2009 low of 139.26. It was the third straight quarterly drop for the index, which was down 5.1% from a year earlier. National prices are now down 32.7% from their peak set five years ago. The S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index covers 80% of the housing market. “This month’s report is marked by the confirmation of a double-dip in home prices across much of the nation,” said David Blitzer, spokesman for Standard and Poor’s.
The housing market went through a brief recovery period starting in mid-2009.

Home prices recovered nearly 5% of their earlier losses. After homebuyer tax credits, which were in effect during the rebound, expired last April, the slump resumed. “The rebound in prices seen in 2009 and 2010 was largely due to the first-time home buyers tax credit,” said Blitzer. “Excluding the results of that policy, there has been no recovery or even stabilization in home prices during or after the recent recession.” A separate S&P/Case-Shiller index covering 20 major cities also dropped during March, its eighth straight monthly decline. This is the second month of the post-recession double dip for the 20-city index. Prices peaked in July 2006 and then fell steadily through April 2009. They then went on a winning streak that ran through last June and prices, adjusted for seasonal differences, have plunged every month since.
