Media report: 25% of sub-prime mortgages are in default
Reality: Sub-prime mortgages only account for 25% of all mortgages. Of those, 75% are
being paid on time. The reality is that only 6.25% of loans are in default.
Media report: Prices are down in 15 states.
Reality: Prices are stable in 35!
Media Report: Real Estate sales slip 20% from 2006
Reality: 2007 will be the 4th busiest since 1997
Media: It is getting almost impossible to get a mortgage if you have credit issues.
Reality: FHA loans have never had a minimum credit score requirement!
Just wanted to put some positive news out there to counteract the media hype and the subsequent consumer overreaction.
