Does Sub-Prime Mortgage Lending need Government Reform?

Default rates are at their highest since 2002 and early 2003. Industry experts and officials believe the current rise in default rates is a result of looser lending practices by mortgage companies in the last few years and the end of the housing boom last year. According to Bankrate.com, as house prices stagnated or fell in 2006 and fewer people applied for mortgages, sub-prime and Alt-A lenders became more reckless in their lending decisions. Default rates among sub-prime borrowers recently reached 12.6 percent.

As a result of the rising defaults and the rise in forced buybacks of non-performing mortgages, troubled sub-prime lenders like New Century, Ameriquest and Fremont are faced with having to cut costs by laying off more workers and having to figure out ways to raise capital in order to stay in business. Dozens of small companies that specialized in sub-prime lending have gone out of business because of rising default rates, and shares of big companies in the mortgage industry have declined significantly.

Regulators responded to the mortgage market troubles by asking lenders to tighten their policies on lending to those with questionable credit. An increasing number of lenders now require higher FICO scores for sub-prime loans, and they are tightening up on other underwriting requirements.

Rather than blaming the sub-prime market entirely, some economists put part of the blame on the Federal Reserve. "Was it necessary to cut the fed funds rate to 1%, supercharging the housing recovery?" said John Lonski of Moody's Investors Service.

Others feel the problem lies with the recent reset of adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) rates. "Mortgage credit-quality problems go well beyond the subprime sector," wrote Jan Hatzius, chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs in New York, in a research note. "The underlying problem is not the subprime market per se, but the reset of large quantities of adjustable-rate debt -- some of which is classified as subprime some as prime -- to higher interest rates in an environment of flat or falling house prices in most of the United States." Now, home value depreciation has begun to hinder borrowers ability to refinance because no equity usually means no loan for people with bad credit due to loan standards now getting stricter.

So what's the answer?
Most economic forecasters in a new Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com) survey believe recent turmoil in the subprime mortgage market is likely to spread to the broader mortgage market and they expect a widely followed index of home prices to fall this year. But they still think the U.S. will avoid a recession and even a significant rise in unemployment. So, Congress should not implement change. Instead, it would be better for the market to correct itself than have the government reform an industry. In times like these people need easier lending not regulation by the government. Continued eased guidelines would enable borrowers to refinance their adjustable rate mortgages which would reduce their mortgage payment and decrease the foreclosure ratios.
