1. BBVA Compass Paramount Presentation

2. Credit Crunch Explained It has been well documented that the mortgage crisis and subsequent credit crunch are the two main causes of the current economic recession. But what caused the mortgage crisis? The very beginning of the crisis started long before 2007, even before George W. Bush lived in the White House. It really all began in 1977 with the passage of the Community Reinvestment Act and the following regulatory and legislative changes enacted by Bill Clinton. This effectively forced banks and mortgage brokers to loosen requirements for obtaining mortgages. This coupled with the excess global capital that was available at the time created a "perfect storm" for banks, who subsequently issued billions of dollars in subprime mortgages.

3. Credit Crunch Explained-Cont With money finally available to many who, for the first time, could qualify for a loan, demand skyrocketed which created abnormal appreciation of real estate equity that was hard to track. With the high turnover of homes at prices far beyond their intrinsic value, an economic bubble was created. Many of the new applicants had never owned homes before. They were either naive enough to believe that their adjustable rate mortgage would not rise enough to hurt them, home appreciation would keep up with the rising rates, or the cost of living changes would impact them in a positive way. For awhile, they were correct. Many ARM's did not start adjusting until 3-5 years after they were originated, and while banks were still pumping out money, speculation continued to rise, the economy was going great, and homes were still appreciating. It's hard to estimate when a ceiling would be hit, but there were many warning signs that were ignored, which places even more blame on lenders and the personal responsibility of borrowers.

5. Home Value Statistics As more borrowers stop paying their mortgage payments (this is an on-going crisis), foreclosures and the supply of homes for sale increases. This places downward pressure on housing prices, which further lowers homeowners' equity . The decline in mortgage payments also reduces the value of mortgage-backed securities , which erodes the net worth and financial health of banks. This vicious cycle is at the heart of the crisis.

7. Today Today, the good news is the data above suggests that foreclosure rates have stabilized year to date in 2010 and median home sale prices are again on the increase. The length of time for complete recovery of home values has been estimated by dividing the lowest point of depreciated home values (34%) by the average annual home value appreciation rate of 5%. Essentially 6.8 years.
