Real Effects of Real Estate Mortgage Default Revealed

The real estate mortgage default that started to reach alarming proportions in 2006 has been singled out as the trigger of this economic downward spiral that we are experiencing right now.

If we are to believe the results of the numerous economic and financial models that were formulated to understand the root cause of the problem, we would be tempted to believe that the reach of this sector is so extensive that real estate mortgage default caused all the economic woes that the world economy is experiencing right now.

Yet, nagging questions about the real effects of real estate mortgage default remained unanswered. Adding to the confusion are the differing views we get in the attempt to explain the entire mess that we are in right now.

A Closer Look at Real Estate Mortgage Default

Most people look at the problem as caused by the rising real estate mortgage payment defaults. This is like saying that the real cause of the thousands of deaths in September 11, 2001 is poor building design.

We tend to put too much credit on the issue of mortgage payment delinquencies by saying that it can bring the world economy to its knees.

At this point, we can say that mortgage payments are the trigger of the economic mess that we are in right now. However, it is not the single cause of the problem. It is just one of a series of issues that transpired to bring us to this serious economic slowdown. It is the proverbial straw that broke the economic camel’s back.

Financial analysts estimate the amount of mortgage losses to reach $650B. This amount is insignificant if paired to the vast financial resources of the government and makes no sense that it can cause an $8 trillion drop in financial wealth over 2008. This is simply unbelievable!

Real Effects of Real Estate Mortgage Default

This unmitigated rise in real estate mortgage default triggered this economic crisis which is seen as the worst since the 1930s. This is event that eventually burst the real estate bubble is an after effect of the forces in the market that moved for self correction.

Real estate properties were extremely over valued to the point that the market moved to make the adjustment. However, because of other lingering problems, it created more than a ripple in the market. The market correction and resulting mortgage defaults created a tsunami of epic proportions.

These economic woes affecting all economies can be traced to the failure to rein in financial institutions; particularly on the issue of debt to equity ration. These financial institutions with serious financial problems are now subject for bailout because they did not have a comfortable debt to assets ratio.

We now have an abnormal situation where the value of real estate properties is way below the amount of mortgage that homeowners are paying. This situation can trigger more real estate mortgage default unless all sectors join hands and come up with the appropriate solutions to the problem.

Mortgage $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A mortgage is a security interest in real property held by a lender as a security for a debtusually a loan of money. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lenders security for a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land (or the equivalent) from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower. This comes from the Old French dead pledge, apparently meaning that the pledge ends (dies) either when the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure. In most jurisdictions mortgages are strongly associated with loans secured on real estate rather than on other property (such as ships) and in some jurisdictions only land may be mortgaged. A mortgage is the standard method by which individuals and businesses can purchase real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately from their own resources.

A Global Perspective on Real Estate Cycles $171 The real estate industry has been severely affected by recent developments in international capital markets. There has been a decline in real estate investment trust (REIT) share prices, and a decline in capital available for real estate ventures. These setbacks have coincided with serious financial problems of very large hedge funds and other institutional investors in the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities. This volume collects the revised papers first presented at a conference hosted by New York University’s Salomon Center on the impact of globalization on real estate business cycles. To this end, the conference offered new insights into the implications of U.S. and global real estate cycles on real estate securities including REITs and mortgage-backed securities as well as direct real estate investment. The most important insight is that the amplitude and frequency of the cycles differ from place to place and time to time. To the extent that this implies that real estate markets around the world are not yet fully integrated, there are opportunities for global investors. There are also risks; the markets are becoming more correlated, most particularly in periods of crisis. Indeed, the relative immaturity of the Thai real estate market contributed significantly to the extent and severity of the Asian financial crisis of 1997. To exploit these opportunities and to manage the resulting risk, portfolio managers need to develop new data sources and empirical procedures designed to maximize the information content of the data that is available. The lack of high quality data emerges as the central and most pressing issue, not only from a portfolio management context, but alsofrom the standpoint of public policy.
