| If there are so many mortgages in arrears or default, how are the banks holding the morgtages staying solvent? |

| I'm curious too. could it be since there is no lending, that the foreclosed houses aren't selling? Also, rates are so low, to be tied up for such a long period of time - that and not knowing what is going to happen in DC could be part of it. |

| calirose -- There's more on this on the "Buying and Selling Homes" forum. Looks like banks are not reporting the defaults; not taking possession of homes they can't sell on which they'd then be responsible for RE taxes and maintenance. There's also probably a big obfuscation of who owns the mortgages -- some bankrupt Wall Street firm, or...the Feds, AKA you and me. |
