Federal Reserve Board image

Press Release Federal Reserve Bank, Board of Governors, Date: January 27, 2010

I know you're saying it doesn't sound like much. But a trillion dollars here and a trillion dollars there, pretty soon your talking real money.

In theory these purchases have a stabilzing effect on interest rates allowing lenders to recapitalize and reinvest in new mortgage/legal interest assets. The Federal Reserve Bank purchases are forcast to end in Februay and March. Interested market observers would like to know what effect that forcasted end will have on interest rates.

Here is a recap:

FEDERAL RESERVE'S ECONOMIC STATUS REPORT:

  • Deterioration in the labor market is abating.
  • Household spending is expanding at a moderate rate but remains constrained by a weak labor market, modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit.
  • Business spending on equipment and software appears to be picking up
  • Investment in structures is still shrinking and employers remain reluctant to add to payrolls.
  • Company inventory stocks have moved inline with sales.
  • Bank lending continues to contract, financial market conditions appear to support economic growth.
  • Pace of economic recovery is likely to be moderate for a time,

POLICY AT A GLANCE:

  • Target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent
  • Anticipate that economic conditions will likely to warrant low federal funds rate for extended period.
  • Support to mortgage lending and housing markets and to improve overall conditions in private credit markets,
  • Purchase $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and about $175 billion of agency debt. (by end of Q1/2010)

FUTURE POLICY CONTINGENCIES:

  • Modify transitional policy as necessary to support financial stability and economic growth.

HAMP Remodels Loan Modification Process, Chico Real Estate

HAMP Remodels Loan Modification Process, Chico Real Estate

Home Affordable Modification Program – Program Update and Resolution of Active Trial Modifications

Many homeowners are aware of the efforts of borrowers seeking to modify the terms of their mortgages with their lenders. You may also be aware of borrowers and servicers and their respective disappointments with the process.

The Department of the Treasury issued a Supplemental Directive dated the end of January 2010 amending key features of the program. A significant program change is a requirement for full verification of borrower eligibility prior to offering a trial period plan.

The Treasury Department/HUD changes are scheduled to be implemented in June, servicers such as Wells Fargo are suggesting they will apply the changes by March 1, 2010.

The Treasury and HUD review of the results todate are now implimenting much needed "guidance" requiring:

  • Rapid response to borrower's applications
  • Servicers must calculate and approve the modifications that are in the best interest of the Lender
  • Automatic permanent loan modification after package approval and 3 timely payments

THE NEW DEAL:

Loan Servicers collect three documents prior to granting a trial mortgage modification:

  • Application, including a hardship letter
  • Proof of income, 2 recent pay stubs or recent P&L statement for the self-employed;
  • Authorization form granting the Servicer access to tax data from the IRS.
  • Servicers must respond within 10 days of borrower's initial request.
  • Servicers must respond within one month of completed package to let borrowers know whether they qualify for a trial modification.

SERVICER'S DISCRETION:

  • Make loan modifications permanent only if minor paperwork is missing.
  • This discretion will help address a large backlog of incomplete modifications.

SERVICERS MUST CALCULATE:

  • Whether the lender or current owner of the loan will benefit from a mortgage modification, or if foreclosing on the property is in the loan owner’s best interest.
  • If the loan owner will benefit from a modification, the servicer is required to grant the modification.
