Based on First American/Loan Performance quarterly house price
index for all loans.
Utilizes more than 30,000+ observations of MSAs and quarterly

13. Reduce Growth in the Supply of Unsold Homes
◦ Continue matching of new supply growth to current market demand
◦ Slow the rate of involuntary supply added to market through the
foreclosure process
◦ The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan will achieve positive results
in both the short and long term
Stimulate Growth in Demand through Responsible Purchase and
Refinance Policies
◦ The shift has begun, and must continue, to emphasize making purchases
and financing arrangements based on true long term affordability, not just
meeting qualifying ratios at the closing table
◦ Support consumer demand to minimize and eventually reverse the growth
in the unemployment rate (e.g., the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act.)
