Spotlight: Texas subprime mortgages: metros vary on risky loans--and delinquencies
Kumar, Anil; Di, Wenhua (2009-01)
The current financial crisis has brought a severe decline in subprime mortgage lending. Like the nation, Texas and its metros still have exposure to existing loans. Housing prices, unemployment and overall economic activity will play a significant part in determining how many of them run into trouble.

Discussion Paper
Making sense of the subprime crisis
Willen, Paul S.; Gerardi, Kristopher S.; Lehnert, Andreas; Sherlund, Shane M. (2009)
This paper explores the question of whether market participants could have or should have anticipated the large increase in foreclosures that occurred in 2007 and 2008. Most of these foreclosures stem from loans originated in 2005 and 2006, leading many to suspect that lenders originated a large volume of extremely risky loans during this period. However, the authors show that while loans originated in this period did carry extra risk factors, particularly increased leverage, underwriting standards alone cannot explain the dramatic rise in foreclosures. Focusing on the role of house prices, ...

Out of the shadows: projected levels for future REO inventory
Venkatu, Guhan (2010-10)
Nearly one homeowner in ten is more than 90 days delinquent on his mortgage payment. Most of the homes under these mortgages are likely to be repossessed by lenders and resold, which has led some to call them a shadow inventory. How much these homes will affect the broader housing market depends on when they actually become available for sale and how long they remain on the market. Some analysts are concerned that a surge in the availability of repossessed or real-estate owned (REO) properties, or a persistently high level of them, could put downward pressure on prices. This could, in turn, ...

How to spend $3.92 billion: stabilizing neighborhoods by addressing foreclosed and abandoned properties
Mallach, Alan (2008)
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 created the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), under which states, cities, and counties will receive a total of $3.92 billion to acquire, rehabilitate, demolish, and redevelop foreclosed and abandoned residential properties. These funds can stabilize hard-hit neighborhoods, putting them on the path to market recovery. This will only happen, however, if they are used in ways that are strategically targeted and sensitive to market conditions. This paper outlines 11 key principles that states, counties, and cities should follow as they plan ...

Foreclosure differences across state lines
Campbell, Doug (2009-04)
As we see in daily news coverage, the foreclosure crisis is on a national scale. Nevertheless, distinct phenomena of the crisis exist that are specific to different regions of the country, and even to different states. At the very least, our research calls for further study on state-by-state differences in mortgage-market regulation. The divergent experiences of Ohio's North Collinwood and Pennsylvania's Braddock neighborhoods are an insistent reminder to answer this call.

Working Paper
Household Financial Distress and the Burden of “Aggregate” Shocks
Athreya, Kartik B.; Sanchez, Juan M.; Mather, Ryan; Mustre-del-Rio, Jose (2020-09-10)
The goal of this paper is to show that household-level financial distress (FD) varies greatly, meaning there is unequal exposure to macroeconomic risk, and that FD can increase macroeconomic vulnerability. To do this, we first establish three facts: (i) regions in the U.S. vary significantly in their "FD-intensity," measured either by how much additional credit households therein can access, or in how delinquent they typically are on debts, (ii) shocks that are typically viewed as "aggregate" in nature hit geographic areas quite differently, and (iii) FD is an economic "preexisting ...
