US sub-prime loan crisis claims first victim

A German bank has become the first victim of the crisis in American high-risk mortgage lending - so-called sub-prime loans. IKB surprised the markets by announcing a profit-warning linked to problems in the US sub-prime market. The chief executive has gone, and its main shareholder has had to step in to shore-up IKB's credit-worthiness. Sam Stovall, the Chief investment strategist at Standard and Poor's Equity research said: "Investors are worried that there will be a bleeding effect from the decline in the sub-prime lending area that could work its way into other areas, either in mortgages or mortgage-backed securities etc. And a lot of the large cap (capitalised) banks as well as the investment banks have been dragged down because of that worry." Shares in Germany's Postbank, Hypo Real Estate, Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank all fell as investors' worried about just how deeply the lenders are involved with the complex US sub-prime market.

Bernanke sees little impact from subprime loan losses

US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Thursday he expects "significant financial losses" from failed subprime real estate loans but only a limited effect on the overall economy.

Bernanke, responding to questions in a second day in Congress for the Fed's semiannual economic report, indicated the problems with subprime loans -- made to people with weak credit histories -- may be greater than expected.

"What we've learned since early this year is that a lot of the subprime mortgage paper is not as good as was thought originally, and there are clearly going to be significant financial losses ... associated with defaults and delinquencies on these mortgages," he said.

"Some estimates are in the order of between US$50 billion and US$100 billion of losses associated with subprime credit products," he said.

As Foreclosure Rates Increase, So Does Number of Homes Sold ...

RISMEDIA, July 20, 2007—Williams & Williams, a leading real estate auction firm, celebrates recent record months of stellar sales. As the rates of foreclosure have continued to escalate across the nation, more and more borrowers have turned to real estate auction as a viable means of bringing liquidity to their assets in a transparent and efficient manner. Williams & Williams now sells more foreclosed properties every month than any other brokerage in the world.

Noted in a June 15th article of American Banker, the Mortgage Bankers Association stated loan foreclosures hit a record high in the first quarter of 2007, and the numbers continue to skyrocket. MBA's chief economist and senior vice president of research and business development, Doug Duncan, said, “We'll see a peak of delinquency rates this year, but not see a peak in foreclosure until 2008." Williams & Williams' partner, RealtyTrac, which publishes the largest national database of foreclosure and bank-owned properties, provided some very alarming data for select markets around the nation.
