Freddie Mac Auctions Extended Timeline Pool Offering of NPLs. Team Thayer Real Estate News

seal-on-moneyFreddie Mac announced Thursday that it sold 157 deeply delinquent non-performing loans (NPLs) totaling about $31 million in aggregate unpaid principal balance (UPB) in its first-ever Extended Timeline Pool Offering (EXPO) sale on June 3.
EXPOs differ from Freddie Mac's Standard Pool Offerings in that the loans include smaller pool sizes and a longer marketing period. Freddie Mac is targeting smaller investors with its EXPO auctions, which are intended to give these investors extra time to secure funding to participate in the NPL sales.
Freddie Mac began marketing the pool of loans on April 21 and encouraged private investors, minority- and women-owned businesses, non-profits, and neighborhood advocacy funds to bid in the auction, subject to meeting bidder qualification requirements. Those requirements include: the bidding servicer must be approved by and in good standing with GSEs; the servicers must prioritize loan modifications over non-home retention solutions and encourage sales to owner occupants and non-profits; servicers must comply with the Treasury Department's Making Home Affordable Programs, including the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), and must evaluate eligible borrowers for those programs; servicers must evaluate borrowers for proprietary modifications when they are deemed non-HAMP eligible; and servicers must honor all completed modifications.
The winning bidder for the single pool of loans was Corona Asset Management XII, LLC. The cover bid price, the second highest bid, was in the high 80s percent of UPB. The weighted average of broker price opinion, loan-to-value was 80 percent; the average loan size of the 157 loans was $199,079; and the note rate was 5.6 percent.
The loans in the pool were an average of four years delinquent, meaning the loans have either been previously evaluated or are in various stages of loss mitigation or are in foreclosure. Approximately 22 percent of the aggregate pool balance was made up of loans that were previously modified and later became delinquent, according to Freddie Mac.
Wells Fargo Securities and the Williams Capital Group acted as advisors to Freddie Mac for the transaction. The transaction is expected to settle in late July 2015.

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales. For February 2016, the distressed sales share declined by 2.9 percentage points over-the-year (and 0.4 percentage points over-the month) down to 11 percent, according to  data released by CoreLogic  on Thursday. At their peak in January 2009, distressed sales accounted for nearly one-third of all residential home sales (32.4 percent) but has been declining steadily since then. By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...
