Hi Everyone, Thanks for your kind thoughts in the end-of-course evals! Wow you made my day. Now for the follow up:
Here’s a link to the graph galleries from Calculated Risk.
Here’s the 61 page WA State Foreclosure Resource and Prevention Guide.
We talked about the brand new WA State Foreclosure Fairness Act….and here’s a great blog post from Jess and Julie Lyda on this topic.
Here are some recent statistics from Seattle Bubble on Notice of Trustee Sales, Trustee Deeds, and Warranty Deeds for the Tri-County area. By the way, Tim Ellis offers these stats in report format here.
Here’s the Federal Reserve Press Release regarding loan servicers.
Here’s a link to Redfin’s website. Go to the “search” function and look for the very tiny drop down menu at the top that says “more options” and click on the option that says “foreclosed homes” next to the purple house icon to add the homes that have been foreclosed but have not yet been listed in the MLS.
Here’s a list of all the state-chartered banks in Wa State….and here are the CUs.
Here’s the unofficial troubled bank list. This is updated every Saturday morning by CR and it’s an embedded excel spreadsheet. Sort by state.
There was a request to source the chart that was on the first graph. It’s from an article called “man makes ridiculously complicated chart to find out who owns his mortgage.” Follow the click to Zero Hedge at the bottom of the article for a PDF that’s more clear, if you want to really become an uber mortgage nerd.
Oh, and I promised to link to that nasty article in The Times this past weekend about a homeowner trying for a loan mod….a good read.
Thanks for the compliment on my avatar pic. Here’s my photographer, Terry Divyak
AND THANKS to Christine with Old Republic Title for all you did today to make our class a success!
