More Hawaii REOs Coming on Market – National Mortgage Settlement
Foreclosure Abuse Settlement
49 out of 50 states agreed to the $25 Billion settlement with five of the nation’s largest banks to address abuses in mortgage loan servicing and foreclosures. The settlement did bring clarity to one major issue–foreclosures.
What This Means
Banks have been holding off the foreclosure process on millions of homes over the last 18 months as they waited for the particulars of the settlement. They now know how they can move forward without penalty.
The result will be an increase in foreclosures coming to the Hawaii housing market.

It will mean more foreclosures in the near future but, this is something we must work through and put behind us sooner, rather than later!

How will this effect the pricing of current homes on the market. Will a bunch of foreclosures bring prices down further?

I disagree. We won’t see any significant numbers of REO’s hitting the market until the Hawaii Legislators take care of Act 48. Unless one of the terms of the settlement includes reinstating non-judicial foreclosures?

Thank you for sharing. I guess we’ll see how this pans out.
