- Fall is a Time for Nature and Art - High Road Art Tour
-
Each fall, one of my favorite art tours is the High Road Art Tour between Taos and Truchas, NM. The scenery is beautiful, and you shouldn’t just stick to the main roads. There are some great studios tucked away on the byways.

Just in case any of you forgot, about 1/3 of all loans originated in 2005 and 2006 in California were Option ARMS. Very few if any of the people with those loans will be able to refinance….

- Oh, How The Once Mighty Have Fallen
-
MSN Money reports on California. “The mortgage industry calls it ‘jingle mail’ — keys that arrive in envelopes from homeowners who’ve decided they’d rather walk away than fight to make impossible payments. The median first-time buyer put down less than 2% to buy a house in 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors. Many put down nothing, even borrowing to cover closing costs. ‘If you didn’t put anything down, it’s much easier to walk away,’ said John Mechem, a spokesman for the Mortgage Bankers Association.”

This post is from the Blown Mortgage Hall of Fame. Originally published in July 2007 (apparently a good month for blogging) it covers 7 alternatives to foreclosure if you’re behind on your mortgage payments. I’m definitely on my way back home at this point - see you soon.

- Maryland Foreclosure Law Changes
-
This post is going to be lawyer bait. I’m just warnin’ you civilians.Housing Wire reported the story yesterday:Maryland governor Martin O’Malley joined with local elected officials and consumer advocates last week to sign emergency legislation that targets troubled borrowers in the state.Perhaps the most immediate mortgage industry impact will be felt by just one of the three bills that was passed — the obscenely-long-named Real Property–Recordation of Instruments Securing Mortgage Loans and Foreclosure of Mortgages and Deeds of Trust on Residential Property bill. (Yes, that’s the actual name)….

1) Town Hall Under Construction

- A Deal With The Housing Bubble Devil
-
Readers suggested a topic on proximity and the housing bubble. “I’m in Washington, DC. I’ve been watching the local market here since 2004. In the past year, I’ve noticed the exurbs and suburbs getting hit really hard. Parts of Prince William County are down 50+% since the peak, and the county as a whole is currently down 30% YOY. PWC had a lot of subprime lending and they were one of the first areas to start buckling under pressure.”

- Twist: My Email Is Back
-
I was apparently the victim of a "Zip Bomb", which had the effect of holding most of my email hostage for the past several days. Because some of my email was getting through, I was unaware that this was happening.
I get rather a lot of email these days, so it may take me a day or two to work my way through my backlog. My apologies to anyone who I may have neglected. If you have emailed me in the past few days, feel free to resend it. I’ll try to catch up ASAP.

- Ummels vs. NAR in 2010?
-
Attempts to sue others for your own stupidity is not new, to actually go to court is something else. The infamous case of Ummels vs. Little in which a Carlsbad couple sued their REALTOR Mr. Little for “neglecting to mention recent sales in their neighborhood” ended on Friday with a WIN for Mr. Little. In my view, justice was served in what was a completely meritless lawsuit. …

Special post - here’s the column, in its entirety. Note that The Heritage Foundation is one of the most prominent conservative think tanks in the world, the hero of the GOP and Fox News. And any Republican who supports a housing gambler bailout (like McCain) is going to be in a spot of trouble with the conservative base.By J.D. FOSTERTHE HERITAGE FOUNDATIONBailouts, subsidies and slush funds: Such are the main ingredients of the housing bill now stewing in Congress….

To go from Casey Serin buying up homes in California he couldn’t pay for with liar’s loans, to food riots in Haiti and rice shortages in Asia, who’d have thunk. But like six degrees of Kevin Bacon, you can get from A (housing bubble) to F (food riots) pretty quick if you work it through.And remember, everytime you put ethanol in your SUV, you s…

- HP Poll result - half of HP’ers think shopping at Wal-Mart is immoral and unpatriotic
-
I thought this HP poll result was pretty flipping cool.I bet if you asked the general population that same question just 2% would say yes. To understand the evil of Wal-Mart, and shopping at Wal-Mart, is definitely not mainstream. “Low prices! Low prices! It’s all good!” Now that’s mainstream….
