2007 U.S.A. Further Increases in Foreclosures
14th November, 2007: The fall out from the sub prime mortgage problems where lenders were willing to lend to those with risky credit backgrounds earlier in the summer continue to show with the number of foreclosures continuing to rise in the third quarter in most of the top 100 largest metropolitan areas of the country. Many of the problems are caused by resets on adjustable-rate mortgages where the ARMs will continue to jump over the next two years from low, initial teaser rates, resulting in high payments that many homeowners’ will be unable to afford. The problem is increased because home values have continued to drop leaving many home owners with mortgages larger than the value of the home. The current figure is now overall foreclosure rate one in every 196 U.S. households
