The American mortgage crisis came down heavily on the residents of the country. The creditors started property repossession of the delinquent consumers. Though there was a downward trend in repossession of homes for seven consecutive months,American mortgage crisis – does it have a positive message to convey? Articles RealtyTrac reported that there was an increase in repossession and that the month of August in 2010 alone registered 95,364 homes being repossessed. This is a 25% increment when compared to the stats of last year same time!


Looking at the annual rate of repossessions, the number of properties lost, because of foreclosure, has increased till August for nine months in a row with a steady decline in the number of properties entering foreclosure process. These two diametrically opposite movements definitely have some positive message to convey for both the delinquent debtors and the would-be homeowners. Since the banks have huge backlogs to clear off, it is expected that the foreclosure notices will be sent out with considerable delays. This will mean that the delinquent consumers will get a little more time make an effort to revive their monthly payments. The homeowners can now stay in their homes for a longer time.


Though the banks are actually eying on putting the foreclosed houses for sale, they cannot simply dump them. The expiration of credits for homebuyer tax in April, unexpectedly high unemployment, flattered confidence of the consumers and a recession hit sluggish economy has all led to a drastic decline in the property sale of U.S. This explains why even one third of the properties repossessed are not put on the market.


Unemployment and reduction in income are the two basic reasons for foreclosure but for the potential homeowners, the efforts made by the banks to clear off the backlog has become a positive sign. As thousands of properties will be displayed, the would-be homeowners can relish on the freedom of choice. The property prices are also expected to dip down leading to considerable savings for the new homeowners. Even after a number of attempts made by the Obama administration to handle the crisis of foreclosure, the situation has barely improved and triggered a wave of concern for the lenders and the debtors. But somehow, as the trail of foreclosed properties continues to increase, the warning alarm for the troubled homeowners is getting delayed and the doors for variety are slowly opening up for new homebuyers.
