Homeowners More Likely To Avoid Foreclosure In The New Year
The good news though is that most analysts believe this trend will change in the New Year. There are several reasons for this and the most important would be the increased awareness among homeowners regarding their rights and options when it comes to saving their homes.
Even the Loan Modification guides available now are much more comprehensive with detailed instructions on how to modify your mortgage in order to save your home. Some of these guides come with free unlimited phone support which enables the homeowner to call for assistance whenever they need it, even months down the line. By having the opportunity to talk to experts without any additional costs involved, homeowners are more likely to get their mortgage modification applications approved and get a payment they can afford.
Some guides even offer a free review of your application documents to ensure there are no mistakes. Homeowners have easy access to advice and tips on how to talk to their mortgage lenders and all this information together have increased the chances of avoiding foreclosure.
Of course the other main reason why analysts are optimistic about more homeowners saving their homes is due to the changed attitude of banks and mortgage lenders. President Obamas Home Affordable Modification Program has gone a long way in getting banks to be more flexible with their borrowers. A mortgage lender is more likely to approve an eligible Loan Modification application as compared to couple of years back when the crisis first started to emerge.
With signs of the economy turning around, mortgage lenders would rather have their customers keep their homes and pay a modified mortgage payment where they pay less today and are able to make up for this once the economy and the job market is back on track in the near future. Also, various studies have shown by helping homeowners save their homes, it has directly helped the economy as the same homeowners can then spend on other products they need with the money they save. This in turn increases consumer spending which is helping the economy move in a positive direction.
With the knowledge and experience of the last couple of years, both mortgage borrowers and lenders are in a better position to negotiate a way out of the foreclosure crisis and help several thousand homeowners across the country save their homes while directly helping the economy to improve. Homeowners do not even have to spend thousands of dollars on loan modification companies as they once used to. Help is just a phone call away with new updates on the mortgage industry and what exactly banks are looking for when approving mortgage modification applications.
