Fannie Mae Lost Money on Last Quarter of 2011

Fannie Mae said Wednesday it lost $2.4 billion during the fourth quarter of 2011 and $16.9 billion for the full year. It has had worse years, remarkably. Fannie lost about $60 billion in 2008 and $72 billion the following year–two of the 10 largest corporate losses ever. Sibling Freddie Mac is responsible for a third, a $51 billion loss in 2008. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to promote home ownership by making federal funds available to lenders. In the 1950s and 1960s, it transformed into a profit-seeking corporation, with the goal of purchasing mortgages and selling them to investors, thereby replenishing funds to banks for fresh loans. Freddie Mac was created in 1970 to spur competition. Recent losses for both agencies stem from the U.S. housing bubble that peaked in 2006. House prices fell nationwide by more than one-third since mid-2006 by one measure, the S&P/Case-Shiller index. Price changes vary by market, but for the country as a whole, homeowners erased the gains made since 2003. Millions of homeowners defaulted on their mortgages, leaving Fannie and Freddie saddled with bad loans. Both reverted to government control in 2008. Fannie and Freddie were once profitable, but the money they have lost dwarfs what they made in good years. During the three years leading up to the house price peak, Fannie reported annual profits of between $4.1 billion and $6.3 billion, and Freddie, $2.1 billion to $2.9 billion. During the five years since, Fannie lost a cumulative $163 billion, and Freddie, which hasn’t yet reported fourth quarter results for 2011, $91 billion. Both Fannie and Freddie pay dividends to the Treasury Department as a condition of their government sponsorship, but both have regularly requested larger sums than they have paid. For example, Fannie said Wednesday that it paid $2.6 billion in dividends to the Treasury during its fourth quarter, but that it would soon submit a request for $4.6 billion to offset losses. Fannie says it requested a total of $116 billion from the Treasury since the fourth quarter of 2008 and paid about $20 billion in dividends. Fannie requested $72 billion and paid $15 billion. Total funds requested, minus the dividends paid, work out to about $1,300 per American household. That includes both owners and renters.

Foreclosure Market Update

 Slowly, but surely, the foreclosure crisis seems to be abating.The number of homes in foreclosure shrunk by 130,000, or 8.4%, in 2011, according to a report from CoreLogic, an economic research firm.
These are homes owned by borrowers who had slipped far behind on payments, forcing lenders to put them into the foreclosure process. The homes remain foreclosure inventory until they're sold -- either at auction or in a short sale, which is when a home is sold for less than the mortgage value -- or until homeowners are current again on payments.
There are dual reasons for the inventory drop, according to Mark Fleming, chief economist with CoreLogic.

Foreclosure deal has 40 states but others balk

"The pace at which properties are entering foreclosure is slowing," he said. "And servicers nationwide stepped up the rate at which they were able to process distressed assets."
In recent years, homes have entered foreclosure more slowly because lenders are carefully scrutinizing applicants; only very low-risk borrowers get loans. That, plus a gradual improvement in the economy, means fewer borrowers are getting into trouble.

Even borrowers in default are not going into the foreclosure process as quickly as they used to. They're being held up by a variety of judicial and regulatory constraints, according to Fleming.
For one thing, the robo-signing issue, in which banks filed sloppy and sometimes improper paperwork, made lenders more cautious about getting their paperwork in order before beginning to process foreclosures.

Once the banks do put homes into foreclosure, they're trying to speed them through it faster. One way they've done that is by encouraging short sales.Another is that they've stepped up their foreclosure prevention efforts -- often with the aid of numerous government programs such as Home Affordable Modification Program, which the government claims has helped a million Americans keep their homes.

Post-foreclosure
 
After foreclosures are completed and the homes are back in the hands of their lenders, the homes are being sold very quickly. "This is the first time in a year that REO sales [those of bank-owned properties] have outpaced completed foreclosures," said Fleming.

In December 2011, there were 103 sales of bank-owned homes for every 100 homes in foreclosure inventory. That was up considerably from November 2010, when there were only 94 REO sales for every 100 in the foreclosure process.

Florida has the dubious distinction of recording the highest foreclosure inventory in the nation in December, with more than 17% of homeowners seriously delinquent and nearly 12% of homes with mortgages in foreclosure inventory The inventory in Florida is bloated because, as in more than half of all the states, most foreclosures have to go through the courts.

Foreclosure free ride: Three years and no payments

Courts have taken a much closer look at the cases coming before them, no longer taking the bank's word for everything.. Consequently, it takes a longer time to schedule an auction, which keeps many homes trapped in the foreclosure pipeline.A hard-hit state such as Nevada, which has had the highest incidence of delinquency in the nation but where most foreclosures do not go through he courts, posted a foreclosure inventory rate of less than half that of Florida. To top of page

Como Afecta El Valor De La Casa De Su Vecino A La Suya

Sus vecinos están afectando el valor de su casa. El análisis comparativo de mercado (CMA), método que los profesionales de bienes raíces utilizan para evaluar el valor de la vivienda se basa en la reciente venta de las propiedades cercanas. El CMA ayudará a establecer un precio de venta exacto y justo y que coincida con la técnica de que los evaluadores locales propiedad de uso en la elaboración de los valores de liquidación.

Precio comparable por pie cuadrado

1. Obtener a disposición del público la información más reciente venta de la casa de su asesor local propiedad del condado, incluyendo el precio de venta, metros cuadrados, el tamaño del lote, edad y dirección. Evaluación de datos de propiedades se pueden encontrar buscando en Internet por el nombre de su condado, estatales y palabras clave como "evaluación de la propiedad o la liquidación del impuesto." Como alternativa, la solicitud de esta información directamente de su condado. Localizar las casas que recientemente vendió cerca de la ubicación que desee valor.

2. Divida el precio de venta de cada hogar por el total de pies cuadrados de la casa. Precio por metro cuadrado es una de las técnicas más comunes de bienes raíces análisis del valor.

3. Acomodando los resultados de forma ascendente o el precio por pie cuadrado.

4. Elija por lo menos tres lugares cerca de su casa o propiedad que son más similares a su propiedad en el lote de tamaño, edad y cama / bañera combinación, es decir, tres dormitorios y dos baños.

5. Calcular un precio medio por metro cuadrado de los lugares elegidos en el paso 4. Por ejemplo, si las tres casas más cercano tuyo es de $ 100, $ 120 y $ 140 por pie cuadrado, el precio promedio por pie cuadrado serían los precios dividido por tres, o $ 120 por pie cuadrado.

6. Multiplique el precio comparable por pie cuadrado a partir del paso 5 veces el total de pies cuadrados de su propiedad. Por ejemplo, si el total de pies cuadrados de su casa es de 2.000, entonces el valor de tasación de su casa sería 2.000 veces $ 120 o $ 240.000.
