Home Loan Modification

This past week has been terrible for interest rates and the recent boom in refinances. During the past 12 days or so the interest rates have moved up almost one full point. This is definitely is bad for the refinance industry, but it can also have long-term consequences for the loan modification industry as well. A reason for this is simple. When interest rates are low, the decision whether bank to reduce the consumers rate and modify their mortgage is easy. Recently, interest rates have been as low as 4.5% since many people at interest rates higher than the level banks were handing out modifications like candy. Recently, rates have climbed to 5.5%. Although they are still low it appears that the trend is changing. If interest rates continue to rise thanks will find it difficult to offer modifications to their customers because it would require them to reduce their interest rates to levels that are below market. At that point the modification does not become attractive to the bank and the denial is more likely. It is impossible to predict the long-term trend for interest rates, however based on the recent activity it appears we have seen the bottom. Act now before it’s too late.
