I present for your viewing pleasure or pain depending on your position in this market the latest mortgage reset chart and the foreclosure time table.Remember that the foreclosures that are on the auction block or listed on the local MLS have been in process for many months. Word on the street is that lenders are trying to delay foreclosures in the "HOPE" that the borrower will be able to begin making the payments again. Seldom happens. The bulk of foreclosure filings won't occur in my informed opinion until 2009. The big resets of ALT-A(above subprime but below prime) occur in ...

I read an interesting report this morning written by an analyst who has actually put some thought into the aftermath of the subprime implosion. By his calculations, the subprime firms who have gone out of business generated approximately $280 billion of loans last year, a little more than 9% of all loans funded. The combination of these firms going out of business and tightened lending standards are creating a void in the amount of mortgage backed securities that were issued using these loans as collateral. Investors who purchased these securities will now have to look elsewhere for investments and borrowers ...
