In the year 2009, the default rate of mortgages of all the properties that are held by the American banks have been reported to have doubled in the 4h quarter. If the prediction of Real Capital Analytics Inc. is anything to go by, the end of 2010 may see a rise up to 5.4 percent in the mortgage rates.
The default loan rates of commercial properties like industries, hotels, retails and offices have jumped from 1.6 percent to a whopping 3.8 percent. That is like 2.25 times increase at once! Ironically, the reason for this is said to be unemployment. Now, tighter credits and joblessness are hurting the values of the commercial properties even further.
The rates of mortgage foreclosure have also increased by 1.37 percent, according to reports of Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). This is affecting the countless numbers of house owners in the United States to struggle with their loan repayments, leading to more economical crisis. And adding to their woes is the increasing rate of unemployment in the country. The prime borrowers are most targeted due to this rise in mortgage default rate. Thus, many economists and other financial experts have started questioning whether the multi-billion dollar housing rescue plan devised by President Obama would be effective.
