3.4 Million Completed Foreclosures since Sept. 2008, CoreLogic Reports
by ChrisGuldi on April 10, 2012
From the start of the U.S. financial crisis in September 2008, CoreLogic reports that approximately 3.4 million foreclosures have been completed.
So 3.4 people missed one payment. I would imagine if you went through all 3.4 million you might find more than 3.4 who basically got cheated out of their home. Oh, but it was their fault however, all 3.4 million of them.
At some point this stuff will begin to disgust me.
I would agree that some may have been "cheated" (tens of billions of bank settlements are not offered for no reason), although there is no evidence to support the "one missed mortgage payment" theory. People that said they were cheated fell into two main groups (as far as I can tell) - those who were convinced to take on home equity debt where the interest (and payment) subsequently reset (although they didn't mind spending whatever money was borrowed; hard to feel too sorry for this group), and those who were seeking modifications and were supposedly told that "if you stop making your payments we can modify the loan. There's no assistance for up-to-date borrowers", then the banks subsequently foreclosed the loans without offering the modifications (of course, there is no evidence on the bank side that indicates this type of advice was offered, only the word of the borrower, but it happened often enough that it seems very likely to be true). While this may have led to some animosity toward the banks by both affected borrowers and those aware of their stories, I find it hard to believe that was the proximate cause of the "unbanked." One thing really has nothing to do with the other; a lower income person with a few bucks in a checking account is fully protected by the FDIC and would have no reason to assume their money was in danger of being taken.
As far as banks "holding back" homes, of course they want to get the highest price for their assets; putting them all on the market at once would not be the way to accomplish that. Supply and demand, you know.
