提高利率使次贷危机更糟糕(1)

　　Picking up on that theme, california governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the past week announced an agreement with four major loan servicers, including countrywide Financial corp., the nation's biggest mortgage lender, to freeze the interest rates on certain ARms that are resetting. The freeze would be temporary, rather than for the life of the loan. The program is aimed at borrowers who are living in their homes and making their mortgage payments on time, but aren't expected to be able to make the higher payments after reset.
　　同样的,加州州长施瓦辛格在上周和4家主要的贷款商包括本国最大的抵押贷款提供商countrywide Financial corp达成协议,冻结部分特定的正在调整的ARm的利率, 但这个冻结是临时的,并非在整个贷款周期上. 这个计划是针对那些住在他们的房子里并且还款准时,在调整利率后认为不能承受更高支付的贷款者. www.gaofen123.com

　　The mortgage industry opposes a blanket move to modify loans that are resetting, says Doug Duncan, chief economist of the mortgage Bankers Association. while modification may make sense in some cases, he says, it may also simply postpone the inevitable or reward borrowers who didn't manage their finances wisely. mr. Duncan says the industry is working with government officials and consumer groups to develop principles that could be used to determine quickly who qualifies for a modified loan.
　　业界反对以地毯式推进贷款调整, the mortgage Bankers Association的首席经济学家Doug Duncan 先生说, 当某些情况下更改有意义时, 也可以简单地推迟其必然性,或者给不能精明地管理他们的资金的借贷者予回报. Duncan 先生说业界正与政府官员和消费者群体一起建立能用于迅速界定谁能有资格拥有调整贷款的原则.

　　The political efforts are aimed at keeping the u.S. economy out of a housing-triggered recession. The mortgage Bankers Association estimates that 1.35 million homes will enter the foreclosure process this year and another 1.44 million in 2009, up from 705,000 in 2005.
　　行政努力的目的是使美国经济免于因住房危机触发的经济衰退. The mortgage Bankers Association估计今年将有135万套房子进入抵押赎回权丧失程序, 2009年将达到144万套, 而2005年仅有705,000套.

　　The projected supply of foreclosed homes is equal to about 45% of existing home sales and could add four months to the supply of existing homes, says Dale westhoff, a senior managing director at Bear Stearns. This is a "fundamental shift" in the housing supply, says mr. westhoff, who believes that home prices will drop further as lenders "mark to market" repossessed homes.
　　计划供应的取消抵押赎回权的房子将占现存房子销售量的大约45%, 将增加4个月的现房供应量. Bear Stearns 的高级主管Dale westhoff先生说, 这将是一个房子供应量的“基本变化”. 他相信房价的下跌将远远低于出贷方推向市场的二手房价格.

　　Foreclosed homes typically sell at a discount of 20% to 25%pared to the sale of an owner-occupied home, analysts say. Lenders are eager to unload the properties, and the homes tend to be in poorer condition.
　　与有产权的房子售价相比, 取消抵押赎回权的房子售价将折价20%~25%.分析师说. 出贷方渴望摆脱拥有资产的负担,而房子则趋向于更糟糕的状况.

　　"People didn't leave the house happily," says Jason Bosch, a broker with Home center Realty in Norco, calif. "There are often signs of that. There's used, dirty carpet. The grass is dead." mr. Bosch says he now has about 120 bank-owned properties for sale or in escrowpared with none a year ago.
　　“人们不会开心地离开他们的房子”, 加州NocoR的Home center Realty公司经纪人Jason Bosch先生说,“ 常有很多那样的迹象, 被使用过,脏脏的地毯,草坪也死了.” Jason Bosch先生说,相比不到一年前,他手头上就有大约120套银行拥有产权或第三方保管的房子可供销售.

　　Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke told congress earlier this month, "A sharp increase in foreclosed properties for sale could……weaken the already struggling housing market and thus, potentially, the broader economy."
　　联邦储备委员会主席伯克南先生本月早些时候告诉国会,“ 剧增的取消抵押赎回权的房子销售将….削弱已经困难重重的房地产市场, 潜在地将波及更广泛的经济范围.”

　　The big concern is a vicious cycle in which foreclosures push down home prices, making it more difficult for borrowers to refinance and causing more defaults and foreclosures.
　　更大的关注是这种局面将陷入恶性循环, 丧失抵押赎回权的房子将拉低房价, 使更多的借贷者难于重新融资而引起更多的房贷无法偿还和丧失抵押赎回权

　　Real-estate agents, who look at prices forparable homes, orps, say the sale of bank-owned properties can have a big impact. "one month theps are showing one price and then a bankes in and sells a property for $30,000 less," says Randal gibson, a real-estate agent in Henderson, Nev. "All of the sudden, that's the newp. It hurts everyone in the neighborhood."
　　房地产公司观察可比房屋的价格或者两者, 说银行拥有产权的房屋销售有更大的影响,“ 一个月里两者比较都在同一个价位上,然而银行拥有产权的房屋以少30000uSD的价格销售,' Henderson, Nev 的房地产代理Randal gibson先生说.” 所有的都很突然, 然后进入新的两者对比,这样都损害到所有的邻居.“
