Delays in foreclosure proceedings and a new push by big banks and servicers to find foreclosure alternatives is drawing a new, albeit still troubling picture of the nation's real estate market.
New notices of default, the first step toward foreclosure, fell to a level in May not seen since the end of 2006, according to a new report by online foreclosure site RealtyTrac. Bank repossessions, or REO, the final stage of foreclosure, also fell on a monthly basis for the second straight month. That pushed total foreclosure activity down 33 percent from a year ago.
"I really wish I could say that looking at a 42-month low in foreclosures action means that the housing market is recovering, and the foreclosure problems are all going away and we should all go about our business and be happy," says RealtyTrac's Rick Sharga. "Unfortunately, those would all be lies."
The numbers have been on a roller coaster since the so-called "robo-signing" foreclosure paperwork scandal that unfolded last Fall. Now there are big discrepancies in the numbers state to state, depending on which states practice judicial foreclosures and which don't. The foreclosure timeline is also increasing as more banks and loan servicers focus on short selling distressed properties, which is when the sale price is less than the value of the mortgage.
REO activity was down 6 percent overall in non-judicial foreclosure states month-to-month, but some non-judicial foreclosure states posted substantial month-over-month increases. Bank repossessions jumped 79 percent in Georgia, 36 percent in Virginia, and 19 percent in Michigan.
In judicial states, bank repossessions actually rose 1 percent month to month, as courts finally begin to get new paperwork and work through lawsuits. In New York, REO activity jumped a whopping 97 percent, and 21 percent in New Jersey.
While the usual suspects, California, Arizona and Nevada still lead the nation in foreclosure activity, the pain is still spreading nationwide. The sheer volume and share of distressed properties in the current market continues to push home prices to new lows since the worst of the housing crash. Some states may see higher numbers, but the effect is the same.
"It’s a little bit like saying that aside from that one unfortunate incident with the iceberg, the Titanic had a really wonderful cruise," describes Sharga. "What we’re talking about are really markets that drive a lot of the real estate market, a lot of the economy. And these are states that have had really severe foreclosures. But beyond that, 72 percent of the top 200 markets saw an increase in year over year foreclosures activity in the last year."
China's security services have managed for now to curb social unrest in the southern manufacturing city of Zengcheng after migrant workers set fire to government buildings over the weekend. But one economist says the discord is more worrying for markets than the nation’s widely-telegraphed soaring inflation.
"I think that any amount of cracking down is going to be a little bit like in Syria," Enzio Von Pfeil, CEO of the Economic Time Bond Fund told CNBC on Thursday. "You've put out the flame in one section of the kitchen but then another flame erupts in another section of the kitchen."
The latest protests were sparked after a pregnant woman was reportedly pushed to the ground by security guards who tried to remove her food stall in Zengcheng, located in Guangdong province.
"Normally [this] would not give rise to the scale of violence that we have witnessed," Von Pfeil said in emailed notes.
He added that unresolved problems such as endemic corruption and the lack of rule of law were heightening concerns over rising prices, bringing things to a head.
Von Pfeil, who previously worked for firms such as ABN Amro, Clarion Capitol and S.G. Warburg, said the unrest was snowballing because of coverage over the internet.
"People are seeing people riot in one little city so they decide to go and riot in their own cities," he said.
Von Pfeil believes the problems are also aggravated by the household registration system, known as Hukou, which provides social benefits only to registered residents of a city and discriminates against migrant workers. "People are getting caught between having migrated to a new job, not getting the job, and then not having the social benefits."
Ironically enough, when it comes to inflation itself, Von Pfeil says the pressures are likely to abate.
"The outlook for inflation, crazily, is not bad. This is because the Central Bank has been guiding away from excess supply of money to excess demand for money," he wrote in emailed notes. "That excess demand for money, in turn, is creating an excess supply of goods, so we reckon that the "demand pull" engine of inflation will abate."
in der Regel größer aus als es die späteren Ergebnisse vermuten lassen.
So wird es auch dieses Mal sein wenn man das Griechenlanddrama Ex Post anno 2011 betrachtet.
So wie Malko bereits ausführt ist noch dazu die südländische Seele etwas temperamentvoller als die unsere nördlich der Alpen.
In diesem Sinne kann man vielleicht das alte deutsche Sprichwort "Nichts wird so heiß gegessen wie gekocht" anwenden.

AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Nach Auffassung von EZB-Ratsmitglied Nout Wellink ist der EU-Rettungsfonds zur Kreditvergabe an finanziell angeschlagene Euro-Länder zu klein. Die Europäische Finanzstabilitätsfazilität sollte auf 1,5 Bill EUR verdoppelt werden, sagte Wellink der niederländischen Tageszeitung "Het Financieele Dagblad". Ein Sprecher der niederländischen Notenbank, deren Gouverneur Wellink ist, bestätigte den Bericht.
Die Anhebung des Volumens sei nötig, um die Unterstützung des Privatsektors für ein zweites Hilfspaket für Griechenland zu sichern, sagte Wellink, der auch dem Rat der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) angehört.
In dem Interview erklärte der Währungshüter zudem, dass er "strikt gegen" eine erzwungene Beteiligung privater Gläubiger an einem neuen Hilfspaket für Griechenland sei. Er bekräftigte damit die bereits von anderen EZB-Ratsmitgliedern und von EZB-Präsident Jean-Claude Trichet eingenommene Position. Er bedauere, dass die Debatte über eine Restrukturierung griechischer Schulden aufgekommen sei, sagte der niederländische Notenbankgouverneur, der zum Monatsende aus dem Amt scheidet.

wartet auf den Verfallstag. Außerdem war der Markt überverkauft und das Sentiment in den USA schlecht.
In der kommenden Woche wird Ben nochmals auf das auslaufen von QE2 hinweisen ohne dabei klarzustellen das die auslaufenden Anleihen dementsprechend wieder neu gezeicheinet werden. Dieses ist bekannt, sollte jedoch -als soft QE2 Verlängerung- für gute Stimmung sorgen.
Der Umfang der Anleihen in der FED Bilanz nimmt temporär nicht zu aber eben auch nicht ab.
