The major factors behind the 2008-housing crisis are still largely unknown. A combination of causes set the housing market into a downward spiral. Now some people are saying the foreclosure epidemic is coming to an end.
Many of the efforts laid out by the federal government have failed. Homeowners were waiting in limbo for years, as lending institutions, and numerous government agencies, sought to find a solution with new policies.
Although many government workers, and policy makers had previously blamed the 2008 housing crisis on the bloated subprime mortgage industry, there are other lenders that purposely lured borrowers into mortgages that would eventually lead them into a mortgage crisis. Many borrowers were glad to be approved for loans, with low initial interest rates. Little did they know these low rates would balloon, and increase the monthly payment to an amount unobtainable for the homeowner.
Helpless individuals were brought into foreclosure faster than they were able to close on their home. A foreclosure is a drawn out process that takes months to complete. However, if a homeowner doses not act quickly, and in the right way, he or she may find himself or herself in a foreclosure quicker than they realize.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, out of all of the foreclosures in the United States today, nearly 51% of these foreclosures were prime loans. In fact, a large portion of the new foreclosures in the U.S. are from prime loans, not subprime, like in 2008. Since 2006 more than 4 million homes have reached foreclosure.
