Lenders Give Away Instant Equity With Real Estate Short Sales

Why are lenders giving away instant equity? Foreclosures are skyrocketing and most experts agree that this trend will only increase in 2007 and beyond. In fact, The Center for Responsible Lending conducted a study in which predicts that 1 in 5 sub-prime loans issued in the past two years will enter some stage of foreclosure. Since sub-prime loans account for approximately 25% of all mortgages issued, the expected impact is thought to be staggering. Lenders do not want to be stuck with houses they cannot move. Since lenders are not in the property management business, they figure it is better to accept a discounted amount than to take the property back in foreclosure and risk having to hold it for an indefinite period of time. If they do foreclose, aside from costly legal fees, they also face high carrying costs including tax payments, insurance, homeowners' dues and other maintenance issues.
