23. Home Prices in the Short Term
“The monthly Case-Shiller house
price indexes will show month-to-
month declines soon, probably
starting with the October report to
be released in late December. The
CoreLogic Index has already started
to decline on a month-to-month
basis. This is not a sign of
impending doom or another collapse
in house prices - it is just the normal
seasonal pattern.”
Calculated Risk 12/1/2012

24. Home Prices in the Short Term
“We project a small, short-term
price decline for many markets
that recently experienced
double-digit appreciation.”

27. ‘CFPB’
“Like a neighborhood
cop on the beat,
the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB)
supervises banks, credit
unions, and other financial
companies, and we will
enforce Federal consumer
financial laws.”
CFPB Website

28. The ‘Perfect Storm’ of Regulation
The Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule - part of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform Act - gives a borrower the right to sue if they received a
loan that courts deemed the borrower did not have the ability to repay.
The Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) requires lenders to keep
a 5 percent capital cushion on certain loans they make so that if a
loan goes belly up, a lender has some skin in the game, too.
Basel III will mandate how much capital banks have to keep on hand
for all their mortgage-related business.
All the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate form these important
regulations will take has kept banks hesitant to lend.
US News & World Report 11/7/2012

29. FHA Mortgages
“There are concerns that
impending new rules in
the mortgage market,
dictated by Dodd-Frank
financial reform, will
make the overall loan
market more expensive
and drive more borrowers
to the FHA.”
Diana Olick
CNBC11/16/2012

30. FHA Mortgages
“The FHA is now facing billions of dollars of
losses on loans originated between 2007
and 2009. To help bolster its finances, the
agency recently announced a series of
measures including higher annual insurance
premiums and a change to rules that
allowed insurance premiums to lapse.
Typical borrowers have to pay an up-front
insurance premium of 1.75% of the loan
amount and, starting in 2013, a higher
annual premium of 1.35% of the balance, up
from 1.25%, says Keith Gumbinger, vice
president at HSH.com.”
Wall Street Journal 11/24/2012

31. Impact of New Regulations
“We find using conservative
economic assumptions that
the bottom line effects of
proposed Dodd-Frank and
Basel III regulations may
include up to 20 percent
fewer loans, resulting in
600,000 fewer
home sales.”
American Forum 10/2012

32. Impact of New Regulations
“Borrowers who fail to meet the basic criteria for a qualified
residential mortgage will have a harder time finding a loan,
when compared to borrowers who do meet those criteria.
They might end up paying a higher interest rate, as well…
Financial analysts from J.P. Morgan Securities have
estimated that borrowers might pay up to three
percentage points more for loans
that are subject to risk-retention.*”
