Mortgage Hidden Risk:

Shared by Niicss on Mon May 05, 2008 7:05 am
It is predicted that the home prices will continue to fall in the major markets in the US. In 2005 people got ARM with initial low interest rates but with the rate adjustment borrowers are facing more and more problems. But now 9 of 10 borrowers who got ARM initially, are refinancing into Fixed Rate Mortgage. Source: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_wasik&sid=ajwkp5PmZd7o

Hi. I think the hidden risk is well exposed now. Everyone now knows why this financial crunch occurred in the mid last year and continuing till now. This is why borrowers are refinancing their Adjustable rate mortgage into fixed rate mortgage. Best of luck, Larry

It is indeed a risk if home prices continue to fall. I just wonder what's going to happen to those who are likely to default in areas where markets are on a decline. _________________ Mortgage Shopping made easy with booklet
