What do think the Mortgage Lenders and the Government will do about the rising defaults and foreclosures?

Question by ricknasty: What do think the Mortgage Lenders and the Government will do about the rising defaults and foreclosures?
They have to do something about this otherwise more defaults are going to happen. Do you think they are going to create some breaks on bonding financing, such as lowering rates and offering 50 year fixed loans, so many people are able to afford the payments. Or are they just going to let more borrowers go into foreclosure? If this continues to happen, we may see a depression coming in the near future.

I dont think its as bad as the news makes it out to be.If everybody had to sell tommorrow, yes, but most people are not in that predicament…just beetle on and enjoy the house for a few years.I compared a 40 yr to my conventional 30 yr mortgage, and it only saved me 20 bucks a month, which was hardly worth the effort….i wouldnt consider any increased length mortgage unless the payment went down 100/150/200 buck.I did hear today that many of the reputable mortgage lenders are temporarily reducing their interest to %, if the buyer needs a little breathing room, rather than foreclosing.I don’t think the “goverment” needs to do anything, they will just mess things up…the market will correct itself….the period of 2001-2005 was not normal.
