“Reverse Mortgages: Are They for You?”
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today issued a consumer advisory to help consumers better understand reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages generally are available to consumers who are 62 or older, and can be used to supplement retirement income or meet health care or other financial needs.
The information developed for consumers discusses basic facts about reverse mortgages, which are complex, home-secured loans. Under a reverse mortgage, a consumer receives payments from the lender - either over time or all at once - based on the value of the home at the time of the loan. As the consumer receives payments, and interest and fees accrue, these amounts are added to the loan balance. The advisory also reviews the costs and benefits of reverse mortgages.
In addition, the OCC’s consumer advisory provides basic “rules of thumb” for consumers who are considering a reverse mortgage -- the advisory urges consumers to (1) investigate other alternatives in addition to reverse mortgages, (2) remember that reverse mortgages generally make more sense the longer the consumer remains in the home, and (3) be wary of anyone trying to sell other products along with a reverse mortgage.
The OCC urges consumers to consult with a qualified, independent housing counselor before entering into a reverse mortgage, and explains how consumers may obtain additional information about reverse mortgages.
“Reverse Mortgages: Are They for You?” is available on the OCC’s website, www.occ.gov.

New report on Colo. Metro areas from Bureau of Economic Analysis
Here are selections form the release (the bold emphasis is mine):
The statistics of GDP by metropolitan area in current and real (chained) dollars are available from the Regional Economic Accounts page of the BEA Web site at http://www.bea.gov/regional/index.htm.
ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN WIDESPREAD IN 2008
New statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the slowdown in U.S. economic growth was widespread: 60 percent of metropolitan areas saw economic growth slow down or reverse. Real GDP growth slowed in 220 of the nation's 366 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in 2008 with downturns in construction, manufacturing, and finance and insurance restraining growth in many metropolitan areas.
In contrast, growth accelerated in 146 metropolitan areas, most notably in areas where natural resources and mining industries are concentrated such as Casper, WY and Grand Junction, CO. Grand Junction had the fastest real GDP growth (12.3 percent) of any metropolitan area in 2008 due largely to growth in natural resources and mining. The professional and business services industry group also showed strong growth in 2008, contributing the most to real GDP growth in 112 metropolitan areas.

Monthly data indicates no sizable dip in foreclosure activity
I put together some monthly foreclosure data to provide some early insights on what the third quarter will look like for foreclosures. July was a very active month, although numbers fell in August. The third quarter looks to be on a par generally with the last 10 quarters or so.
John Rebchook reports on it here. I'll have a more full write-up available next week.

Vacancies in “affordable” rental housing rises to 6.4 percent

Vacancies in “affordable” rental housing rises to 6.4 percent
Statewide vacancies in subsidized and rent-restricted housing rose to 6.4 percent during the second quarter, according to a report released today by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ Division of Housing. Second-quarter vacancies fell from the first quarter rate of 7.4 percent, and are up from a rate of 6.1 percent reported during the second quarter of last year.
According to the report, the areas with the lowest vacancies were Grand Junction and Arapahoe County which reported vacancy rates of 3.2 percent and 3.7 percent respectively. The areas with the highest vacancy rates were Colorado Springs and Jefferson County which reported vacancy rates of 7.6 percent and 11.7 percent respectively.
In general, a vacancy rate of 5 percent is considered the “equilibrium” rate by industry experts.
Each quarter, the Colorado Division of Housing also releases a “market-rate” vacancy survey that does not include subsidized and deed-restricted units. Second-quarter market-rate data showed a statewide vacancy rate of 9.1 percent.
“It is often helpful to look at the differences between the market-rate vacancies and the affordable vacancies,” said Gordon Von Stroh, Professor of Business at the University of Denver, and the report author. “The market-rate units and the affordable units should not be attracting the same households.”
The Colorado Division of Housing monitors vacancies in subsidized and rent-restricted units on a quarterly basis. The report is available online at: http://dola.colorado.gov/cdh

Recently added Vacancy Rate graphs
In this graph, metro Denver average rents are broken out by county. Several counties show recent declines in average rents.
In this slide, Metro Denver vacancies are broken out. Only Douglas County shows a decline in vacancies in the last year.
This chart shows growth in average rents over the past 3 years. Note that in most areas, rent growth has been quite modest.
In this graph, note the difference between the market-rate vacancies and the vacancies in deed-restricted housing. The 30% AMI units have the lowest vacancies.
Colorado Foreclosure Rates, mid-year, 2009
This map provides a visual summary of where the highest concentrations of foreclosures are in Colorado.
In this graph, the higher the bar, the better the foreclosure rate. The counties to the left have the highest foreclosure rates since they have the smallest number of occupied households per completed foreclosure.
