Subprime lending has long served an important role in housing finance, helping many who lacked perfect credit achieve homeownership. More recently, however, eased underwriting standards and the proliferation of these loan products fueled a surge in subprime lending, helping to extend the life of the site-built housing boom. A large share of these subprime loans were ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) that featured initially-low "teaser rates," many of which are due to reset (i.e., step up to a higher interest rate) over the next 18 months, which could induce a spike in site-built foreclosures This webinar presented on July 13, 2007 provided expert insight on the impact that these subprime mortgage developments may have on the manufactured housing market from the chief economists of MHI and Mortgage Bankers Association of America.
