T h e Fore c losure P a in M a y Dra g on for Y e a rs

By J a m e s R . Ha g e rty

Delays in dealing with home foreclosures are stretching out the pain for the U.S. housing market, as we reported in Wednesday’s Journal. That has stirred lots of debate over whether it is better for the nation to face the pain of millions of foreclosures immediately – to get it over with fast — or to draw the process out over several years in hopes that the economy and housing demand will recover.

It looks like we’re taking the latter course, for better or worse.

The foreclosure process takes about twice as long as it used to for a variety of reasons, including efforts to modify loans to keep borrowers in homes, staffing shortages at loan servicers, bankruptcy filings and a “strategic rationale” by lenders hoping that home prices will recover, .......

While efforts to modify loans will help some borrowers, she says, they mostly will amount to “kicking the can down the road.”..............

Henry Fishkind, an Orlando-based housing economist, says some banks tell him they “are holding back [foreclosedhome] inventory” to avoid depressing prices any more than necessary. “It’s in their interest” to avoid flooding the market, and regulators haven’t forced them to do so, he says. That suggests that the backlog of homes

headed for foreclosure will be stretched out over several years. That will be less disruptive to the housing market, Dr. Fishkind says but may mean that it takes longer for financial institutions to shed dud assets and regain the health required to extend new credit.

In some of the former bubble markets, including Florida, (& California, adds DJR) the problem will be aggravated by looming defaults on option adjustable-rate mortgages ............

You probably have never seen this tried. I hadn’t either.

One of the benefits of working with foreclosed homes is that you can try things. (like this whole job with the Ducted Mini Split) I’ll let you know the CFMs of infiltration at the Test Out at the end.

Smooth “Hard Pipe” and gentle square to round transitions minimize friction loss and deliver maximum air to the rooms.

This was our main concern but these short, smooth ducts were our solution.

718 feet per second.

This is good velocity, which is what we were concerned about.

The small ducts work because of the reduced heat load produced by the foam wrap, insulation and other energy measures.

806 f.p.m. Is a little high but this unit is on its highest speed here at start up.

It will slow down with the Inverter Technology when it is only having to hold its temperature.

(Slower is quieter, but we still need enough velocity to get the air across the room. This is perfect.
