Another reason is that the banks don't think there is a RE bubble as they are increasingly willing to keep RE on books.

Think about that sentence for a bit and explain the reason please.

I think you mean something like this: BECAUSE banks don't think there is a RE bubble they are increasingly willing to keep RE on books.

I have no idea why they feel this way but keeping RE on the books is certainly not the reason, it is the result.

<<I guess banks like retaining ARM mortgage loans for two reasons:
1. with ARMs they don't need to gamble with future interest rates movement, as they just milk the margin.>>

Wonder what happens when the banks find out that a lot of those ARMs were given to less-than credit worthy customers?
