<<<Is it possible that the house/ATM is running out of cash?>>>

NO. The Fed has plenty of cash. -g-

If you refer to NEW's negative growth it may be just increased competition from other bigger players. Lender's margins on subprime loans have been steadily going down.

Spoke yesterday with a local realtor.

I asked: how do people buy expensive houses. Answer: Option ARM program. For example this one: erate.com As you see it's in fact a negative amortization loan.

I asked: how do banks qualify people? Do they use NegAm or some other payment. Answer: Stated income loans. No questions asked. Some banks have no penalty for stated income loans, other charge extra 1/8%.
