Bush unveils plan to stem wave of foreclosures

WASHINGTON -- US President George W. Bush announced a plan on Thursday aimed at slowing a wave of home loan foreclosures that has threatened to knock the US economy into recession and rattled investors worldwide.

Bush said the plan, hammered out by the US Treasury Department in talks with mortgage industry leaders, was not intended to "bail out" lenders, speculators or those who knew they could not afford the homes they bought.

Instead, the Bush administration hopes that it can help more than half of the two million homeowners who took out adjustable-rate subprime loans with payments due to move sharply higher soon by offering some of them a five-year mortgage-rate freeze.

Officials have said 500,000 Americans are at risk of losing their homes as $367 billion worth of mortgages reset to higher interest rates over the next two years. Expensive subprime loans traditionally are aimed at borrowers with weak credit, but increasing numbers of buyers took the loans as an easy way to hop into the market during the housing boom.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said on Thursday that a record percentage of mortgages outstanding were in the process of being foreclosed in the third quarter, while late payments hit their highest level since 1986.

Bush said an estimated 1.2 million homeowners could be eligible for assistance under the plan over the next couple of years. However, private-sector analysts said the numbers would likely be much lower.

"In theory, the plan could help as many as 750,000 subprime homeowners," said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Economy.com. "In practice, my sense is that it will probably help at best about 250,000 homeowners."

'Devil Is in the Details'

Homeowners facing a rate reset who have shown they are a reasonable credit risk, but who could not afford higher payments, would qualify for "fast-track" loan modification and the five-year interest rate freeze. Only owner-occupied homes would be eligible, not those bought by speculators.

Borrowers who can afford their current loan terms would receive help in refinancing, but those who cannot and were poor credit risks would probably still lose their homes.

"The Bush administration's foreclosure plan is an encouraging first step, but the devil is in the details. I'm anxious to see how many families this plan will actually benefit," said Kwame Kilpatrick, mayor of Detroit, which has been hard-hit by the subprime mortgage mess.
