September 10th, 2009 — Foreclosure, Housing
The upset Maryland homeowners are facing a huge number of foreclosures in nearly a year and a half as state officials and observers worry that a new wave of foreclosures is about to slam the state’s already-struggling economy, mainly due to the increasing unemployment.
According to the state’s statistics, August 2009 foreclosure filings in the state were up nearly 70 percent over August 2008, and up 6.6 percent compared July 2009, as released by Irvine, Calif, a RealtyTrac Inc. company that tracks foreclosure filings nationwide. It is the fifth consecutive monthly increase in the year-over-year foreclosure rate. In August there were 5,491 Maryland homes in some stage of the foreclosure process, the most since April 2008, when there were 6,011.
Back then, the state’s housing market was so slammed with delinquent mortgages and distressed homeowners that lawmakers rushed through an emergency statute to delay the foreclosure process and allow homeowners to renegotiate the terms of their loans.
Loan modification has not been fully obtained in the state, and it may sound one big reason for the whole situation.

As per past trend, more people are out of work, the house-as-ATM is the way out. During unemployment, credit continues to be tight and spending is down. And all these indicators argue for a contraction of the very housing market which drove the economic expansion of the early 2000’s.
A Labor Day drive thru the countryside in Northern Maryland has identified dozens of houses for sale. The owners want higher sale prices than they will get. On asking many of them, you’ll hear something like “I can’t take a loss”. They feel entitled to a profit on their “investment.” Imagine that notion applied to stocks. And houses weren’t the only thing for sale. Cars with too-high prices sprayed on their windshields, farm equipment, even a telephone pole! The stock market rebound since March counts well as a Primary Wave Two.

According to NLIHC, Housing markets in many metropolitan areas appear to be stabilizing. The sheer drops in home prices could be seen if the broader economy does not get better.
The report further explains an updated analysis of Rents and the Price of Housing in 100 Metropolitan Areas, The report finds that in many markets, home prices are once again tracking more closely to rents, a sign that markets are stabilizing. However, the report also finds that in many markets, the local economy is suffering, which could put off the housing market recovery. In the long-term, the housing market will be robust only with a strong economy in which people have the incomes to afford rents and mortgages.
This report further indicates that housing markets are stabilizing at this time, but we need to assist this recovery by creating jobs. Bottom of the market should be used as an opportunity to create affordable housing. Without such proactive efforts to increase the ability of Americans to afford homes, the bottom may prove false.”
