I expect there's all kinds of deals being made in the banks' loan servicing depts, while people draw down remaining assets.

Banks know this, and it's getting tougher to qualify in the last few months, after being ridiculously easy.

It is adjustable rate & renting rooms that will not start foreclosure process. Once adjustable move up which I doubt for couple of years then it will start this process. Hearing that houses are not moving even in sub 500K in silli valley. It is a long winding road to misery. I wish and I want my views to be 100% wrong.

I think the banks are slow to send out the forclosure notice (which in my state sets the date of the sale)
They dont want to become the owner of the house, especially if it has a high loan to value.

I think they are sending out the default notices and then hoping and praying.

RE:"I'm surprised we're not seeing more repossessions in the silicon valley area. Tons of people have been out of work for 2+ years amidst a lot of overleverage. My neighbors maxed out on the mortgage in order to hold more stocks."

Repos take time. Often you can stay in a home over 6 months without making a payment. Then the banks sell the house through a Realtor unlike years ago when they just dumped it.

I guess things aren't bad enough yet.
