4 Reasons Why the End of Forbearance Will Not Lead

4 Reasons Why the End of Forbearance Will Not Lead to a Wave of Foreclosures

With forbearance plans about to come to an end, many are concerned the housing market will experience a wave of foreclosures like what happened after the housing bubble 15 years ago. Here are four reasons why that won’t happen.

>>There are fewer homeowners in trouble this time
After the last housing crash, about 9.3 million households lost their home to a foreclosure, short sale, or because they simply gave it back to the bank. As of last Friday, the total number of mortgages still in forbearance stood at 1,863,000. That’s definitely a large number, but nowhere near 9.3 million.

>>Most of the 1.86M in forbearance have enough equity to sell their home
Of the 1.86 million homeowners currently in forbearance, 87% have at least 10% equity in their home. That’s important because it enables homeowners to sell their house and pay the related expenses instead of facing the hit on...

This REVIEW 😍 "Errin & Story House have been a dream to work with through what was a big, out of the box lift. Not only were we located across the country and doing the heavy search in the middle of a pandemic, but we also had a very specific and uncommon property to find in order to relocate home and business. The parameters and specifics that we needed began as a fairly long list and kept getting longer the more we discovered. All this in a market that was low on inventory and continuously decreasing. This process took over one year from initial searches and viewings to the final purchase of what is a perfect property for our needs on all fronts, and a diamond in the very refined rough. Throughout the process Errin Searcy was responsive, ceaseless in her attention to our out of the box needs and has an unbelievable work ethic and responsibility to her clients. I don’t know that we could have done this with anyone else; we are grateful to have worked with her. Further, Story House provided personalized touch points throughout the process, which was nice when we felt at many times that we were asking for so much attention and action from a top broker. Story House is our firm recommendation for anyone in the housing market, we will never go with anyone else in the area, and we are forever grateful for Errin, Sasha, and her team’s effort, dedication, and delivery!" -Jason
