Homebuilder Blues: NAHB/Wells Fargo Home Builder Ratings December 2010

Today, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released their latest Housing Market Index (HMI) showing a flattening for most measures with the "buyer traffic" index weakening to 11 as home builders continue to plod through the weakest activity seen in generations.

It's important to recognize that currently each sentiment index is showing year-over-year declines with each still sitting very near the lowest levels seen in over 20 years, a testament to the significance of the latest pullback.

Further, the "buyer traffic" index is showing the weakest results pulling back some 15.38% since December of 2009 and sitting just above the lowest level ever recorded.

The new home market will likely not resume any significant form of healthy function until the considerable overhang of inventory is cleared.

Principal Writedowns Happen, Just Not Through Government

A Wall Street Journal article Wednesday began, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in talks with Obama administration officials to join fledgling government programs aimed at reducing loan balances of mortgages where borrowers owe more than their homes are worth."

They may be in talks, but the talks clearly aren't going well.

When I asked the folks over at Fannie Mae to comment, they obliged quickly with, "We regularly review our policies regarding the modification of mortgages based on changing economic circumstances and our analysis of whether the effectiveness of the policies can be improved. We have been and will continue to work closely with FHFA on these matters."

I know.

The FHFA, the GSE's federal regulator charged with keeping the two mortgage giants afloat while still protecting taxpayers, responded with "No comment."

It's all about the FHA's "short refi" program, which offers lenders cash incentives to reduce balances on underwater loans (by at least 10 percent), if the borrowers are still current on their payments. In turn, the lender can then refinance to an FHA-insured loan.

So I called over to the FHA, where commissioner David Stevens had plenty to say, including that the GSE's were being "shortsighted." He used that word with several media outlets, I noticed. But he went on...

"What we believe they need to value seriously is that unlike other modification programs where there's potential high redefault risk, and they retain the asset, the value of being able to monetize the remaining asset and not retain future risk has significant value."

But the fact is, and I know it is barely a few months old, exactly three loans have made their way through the program to date. Fannie and Freddie hold the lions share of loans that would benefit from this, and the big servicers aren't going to jump in on their own without them.

Bank of America [BAC  Loading...      ()   ] spokesman Dan Frahm says BofA is still considering the FHA program, but admits, "Our calculations of the program show the number of our customers that would benefit from the program would be very limited without the participation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

Bank of America already reduces principal in many of its proprietary modifications. Implementing the FHA program could result in "capacity strains of required technology and training programs" which Frahm says might not be justified by the benefits to so few eligible customers.

With so much resistance to the program, rumors began circulating that FHA might dump the program, but apparently without merit.

"No way," Commissioner Stevens told me this afternoon. "We are looking at what else could be done within reason to help make our programs work more effectively, but these are movements on the margin if anything."

Video Interlude: Exploring the Tenuous Decorator-Client Relationship, Digitally

Screen-shot-2010-12-17-at-9.28.48-AM.jpgBy now, you've probably seen Xtranormal's adorably big-headed characters in any number of situations—as an aspiring New York Times writer, as a lowly publicist's assistant, even as a overly demanding restaurant diner.

Well, now the type-to-talk madness has finally hit the design sphere. It took, like, a whole three days. A video called "The Decorator" has just surfaced, and it chronicles a less-than-two-minute first meeting between a British interior designer and a client who insists that his 3,000-square-foot apartment be dressed in one day, and for less than $1,000. In trying to come up with a decorating scheme, the only thing the two can agree on is that they don't actually read the articles in Arch Digest—they only look at the photos—and that they both hated the magazine's Rob Lowe spread. (Curbed National concurs with the latter.) There's also, uh, a mention of the designer's "malnourished assistants."
