The impact of foreclosures on the housing market
Hartley, Daniel (2010-10)
A record number of mortgage loans are either in default or in danger of being defaulted upon. Many of the properties that back these loans will end up going through the foreclosure process. A growing body of research shows that foreclosed homes sell at a discount and that foreclosures have a negative impact on the value of other homes that are nearby.

This finding ...

Designing loan modifications to address the mortgage crisis and the making home affordable program
Mauskopf, Eileen; Liang, J. Nellie; Lehnert, Andreas; Cordell, Lawrence R.; Dynan, Karen E. (2009)
Delinquencies on residential mortgages and home foreclosures have risen dramatically in the past couple of years.

This paper analyzes the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on urban neighborhoods in Massachusetts. We explore the topic using a data set that matches race and income information from Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data with property-level, transaction data from Massachusetts Registry of Deeds offices. With these data, we show that much of the subprime lending in the state was concentrated in urban neighborhoods and that minority homeownerships created with subprime mortgages have proved exceptionally unstable in the face of rapid price declines. The evidence in Massachusetts suggests that ...

The foreclosure crisis in 2008: predatory lending or household overreaching?
Fogel, Kathy; Yeager, Timothy J.; Ma, Liping; Lee, Wayne Y.; Emmons, William R.; Rorie, Deena (2011-07)
At least early in the financial crisis, the high rate of foreclosures seemed to be due more to households' overreaching than to predatory lending. A disproportionate number of those being foreclosed on were well-educated, well-off and relatively young people.
