The lenders are simply in over capacity and are managing best they can since “foreclosuregate” hit the presses. How these companies will manage their assets will continue to be on the forefront as the rating agencies will continue to scrutinize these companies debts and balance sheets.

New loan applications continue to crawl and are adjusting due to seasonal demand in the housing markets. The good news for those whom are able to buy a new home are in good position to take advantage of the lower rates and lower housing prices.
