Renovation-Radio.com: National Public Radio (NPR) Reports On The Tens Of Millions Of Americans Who Could Benefit From Current Low Rates For A Refinance But Cannot Qualify (Audio)

Just because mortgage rates are at historic lows doesn’t mean homeowners can qualify to refinance. Most Americans can’t because their credit scores aren’t perfect, their houses have lost value or they’ve lost income.

As a result, tens of millions of Americans have been effectively blocked from saving hundreds of dollars a month by refinancing.

“We would avoid more foreclosures, people would be happier and I think the economy would get a lot better” if everybody could access the low rates, Riccio says.

That’s basically what some economists are proposing — at least for some 30 million Americans. The premise of the idea is that because of the financial crisis, the federal government has already guaranteed 60 percent of existing home mortgages.

Renovation-Radio.com Housing Market Update: National Public Radio (NPR) Discusses What It Will Take To End The “Housing Bust” (Audio)

National Public Radio (NPR) discusses the potential end to the housing crisis with economist Mark Zandi explaining what it will take for the bust to end — and sketches out housing’s profound influence on the broader economy.

If you want to know when the bust will end, Zandi says, look at foreclosures and short sales. Those typically occur at a big discount to prevailing prices, so they push overall prices down.

At the moment, almost a third of all houses being sold are foreclosures and short sales. The housing bust won’t really be over until that percentage falls sharply. Zandi says that’s likely to happen by the end of next year.
