The 2007 Real Estate Credit Crunch: What Happens Now?
By David Jackson of Carpediem Articles
The world economy is in crisis. Add to that the rising cost of fuel and you’ll have the toughest economic condition the world has seen perhaps since the great depression. We can only surmise the extent that this crisis brings forth. The credit crunch that we are currently experiencing right now still has a firm grip on western economies. And if the stock market were any indication, the credit crunch would go on longer than expected. Investors are withdrawing their investments while housebuilders are trying hard to look for other sources of capital. There are a lot of repossessed properties from foreclosed mortgages but most of them are yet to be resold. And it would be hard to seel those properties since most of interested buyers don’t really have cash on hand—they would also need to apply for a loan. Now that’s a big problem since most financial services firms are having a tighter grip when it comes to new applications. Not even a little resurgence in American economy can deny the fact that the housing market is still down. Home loans are on an all-time low. This crisis is mainly blamed on sub-prime lending—loan providers took the risk and approved the loans of these so called “ninja” borrowers (most of them have no jobs, no other assets, and no means of income) and now they—together with the whole financial structure—are paying a costly price. So how can we recover from this economic slump? There are some small things that can help alleviate us from the effects of credit crunch but these are not solutions for the bigger problem. Borrowers who can’t repay their debt will only fall on a much bigger hole. And the worst part is that they can take the world economy with them. There is a current US dollar surge, but this won’t deny the fact that Americans (as well as other citizens from other countries) still feels the negative effects of the crisis at hand. We can only hope that things are going to get better as time progresses, but some experts believe that this crisis will be felt longer than expected. Yet they are also optimistic that it will someday end. It is a known fact that the world economy has experienced some of the worst recessions in the past. Yet here we are, talking about a new crisis. This only means that crises like these are not new. We have experience it before, but the world economy stabalized and even soared to greater heights after every crisis. Surely the balance of economic power is shifting. And whether this is good or bad, we may never know. But the fact is that no matter how bad the effects are today, there is always a possibility that they would all be resolved in the future. Financial analysts say that even a slight fall on house prices (given that the house prices are already down) could cut the US household wealth by a further $5.4 trillion, leaving lenders over a trillion-dollar loss.
