St Louis Finance News: Foreclosures Are Predicted To Persist [News Hot Line: 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia]


There is news coming out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland saying that they believe this country’s high foreclosure rate will most likely continue for some time.

As part of a national study involving the health of this nation’s financial system as a whole, the Fed looks closely at the overall changes in foreclosure and unemployment rates especially noting the differences in the timing of these movements.

Other data used to predict the continuation of this foreclosure epidemic was  based in part on the fact that several states including California, Texas, Massachusetts and Oklahoma experienced boom-bust housing cycles which in turn had elevated foreclosure starts for years after the peak in foreclosure starts and inventory.

These previous boom-bust cycles “were small in comparison to the current cycle,” according to the Fed’s report.

While the recession has left indelible marks in the housing and labor markets, added with the unemployment rate doubling and the foreclosure start rate tripling, the timing seems to show that the timing of the movements differs over this financial cycle as brought out by Timothy Dunne, a vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and Kyle Fee, a research assistant.
