After re-reading these glorious articles on the housing bubble and crash, I believed I’d take the chance to current just a few charts to spotlight the housing bubble, pre-crash and post-crash.
Here’s a graph of Phoenix AZ dwelling costs. Word the bubble that peaked in mid 2006. The Phoenix bubble correlates with the massive quantity of sub-620 FICO lending and Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) lending. Keep in mind, most of the ARMs previous to 2010 have been NINJA (no revenue, no job) ARM loans.
What occurred? Severe delinquenices on the nationwide ranges spiked as The Nice Recession set in and unemployment spiked.
Because the housing bubble burst and surge in critical mortgage delinquencies, The Federal Reserve entered the economic system with a vengeance. And have by no means left, and elevated their drowning of markets with liquidity.
The Fed whip-sawing of rates of interest in response to the 2001 recession was definitely an issue. They dropped The Fed Funds Goal charge like a rock, then homebuilding went wild nationally and residential costs soared due to Alt-A (NINJA) and ARM lending. However now The Fed is dominating markets like a big T-Rex.
Oddly, then Fed Chair Ben Bernanke by no means noticed the bubble coming. Or the burst.
Talking of pizza, Donato’s from Columbus Ohio is my favourite. Founder’s Favourite is my favourite, however they do supply the dreaded Hawaiian pizza (ham, pineapple, almonds and … cinnamon?)
Bleech!
