Shadow inventory levels improve:
Standard & Poor’s analysts estimate it would take 47 months for the housing market to work through the shadow inventory, according to their second quarter research note. They revised that down from 52 months in the first quarter, the first decline since the middle of 2009. The amount of time it would take for the housing market to move through properties lingering in the foreclosure system is finally improving.
S&P analyzed loan-level private-label residential mortgage-backed securities data from CoreLogic to calculate its estimates. It defines the shadow inventory as a collection of properties in 90-day delinquency or worse, foreclosure and REO. The unpaid principal balance on these properties remains high at $405 billion, but it is a 6.4% drop from the previous quarter and represents less than one-third of the outstanding private-label RMBS market. “In conjunction with stable liquidation rates, we believe these are positive signs that the amount of time it will take to clear this ‘shadow inventory’ should continue to decline over the next year,” analysts said. I say “really – do ya think?”
Debate on Housing finance reform stirs secondary mortgage market Hours after The Washington Post published a story Tuesday detailing the Obama administration’s alleged plan to extend the government’s role in the mortgage market, the Treasury Department quickly rejected the notion and stressed continued devotion to installing private capital dominance in mortgage financing once again.
“The article made some waves, which helped bring the denials, with the thought a new direction in policy — perhaps after the 2012 elections — could perhaps preserve Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under different names and a different set of capital requirements,” Jim Vogel of FTN Financial said in a note Wednesday. So far, Fannie and Freddie owe the Treasury $142.2 billion in still compiling rescue funds. Vogel pointed out that even if the Obama administration issued such a proposal, it would have a difficult time winding through a policy gridlock in Washington, leaving the only window for such action after the
2012 election.
