Download or read book Housing and the New Financial Markets written by Richard L. Florida and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1986 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s witnessed a revolution in the way the United States finances housing. Gone is the insulated system of thrifts whose special job was to collect savings deposits and issue mortgages. Gone too are the institutional foundations of this system - the passbook account and the fixed-rate mortgage. Mortgage lending in this new financial environment is increasingly the province of a shrinking group of large financial firms. These firms compete for funds in domestic and international markets as well as issue and sell the new adjustable-rate mortgages.Richard L. Florida notes that it is not surprising that the reorganization of the housing finance system has become the focus of a policy debate and a growing academic literature. A host of questions have been raised by policymakers. What are the driving forces behind the financial deregulation? How does deregulation affect housing finance? What are the new institutions and instruments being used to allocate housing credit and how do they work? How does the new housing finance system influence the cost and affordability of shelter? What is the future of housing finance? These are the core questions addressed in this book.Housing and the New Financial Marketsis divided into seven sections. The first examines the basic institutions and operations of the New Deal system. A second section turns to early deregulation efforts - including the Commission on Money and Credit, the Friend Study, the Hunt Commission, and the FINE Study. Florida then presents a detailed examination of the new financial regulation, focusing on the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act and the Garn-St. Germain Act. He examines the reorganization of the thrift industry in the wake of these developments and analyzes the rise of the secondary mortgage market. He concludes by providing a number of tentative visions on the future of housing finance.
Download or read book The American Mortgage System written by Susan M. Wachter and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful home ownership requires the availability of appropriate mortgage products. In the years leading up to the collapse of the housing market, home buyers frequently accepted mortgages that were not only wrong for them but catastrophic for the economy as a whole. When the housing market bubble burst, so did a cornerstone of the American dream for many families. Restoring the promise of this dream requires an unflinching inspection of lending institutions and the right tools to repair the structures that support solid home purchases. The American Mortgage System: Crisis and Reform focuses on the causes of the housing market collapse and proposes solutions to prevent another rash of foreclosures. Edited by two leaders in the field of real estate and finance, Susan M. Wachter and Marvin M. Smith, The American Mortgage System examines key elements of the mortgage meltdown. The volume's contributors address the influence of the Community Reinvestment Act, which is often blamed for the crisis. They uncover how the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac invested outside the housing market with disastrous results. They present surprising information about low-income borrowers and the strengths of local banks. This collection of thoughtful studies includes extensive analysis of loan practices and the creation of unstable mortgage securities, presenting data largely unavailable until now. More than a critique, The American Mortgage System offers solutions to the problems facing the future of American home ownership, including identifying asset price bubbles, calculating risk, and preventing discrimination in lending. Measured yet timely and by turns provocative, The American Mortgage System provides a careful assessment of a troubled but indispensable part of the economic and social structure of the United States. This book is a sound investment for economists, urban planners, and all who shape public policy.

Download or read book Preventing the Next Mortgage Crisis written by Dan Immergluck and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great U.S. mortgage crisis was a transformative event that will reverberate for decades across families, neighborhoods, and cities. After years of research on various aspects of the crisis, Dan Immergluck examines what went wrong, identifying the factors that created the fragile housing finance system, which provided fertile ground for calamity. He also examines the federal response to the crisis, including who benefitted most from the response, and how a more effective and fair response could have been formulated. To reduce the incidence of future crises, Immergluck provides a pathway for building a more stable and fair housing finance system that would be less vulnerable to the booms and busts of global finance. Housing finance helps determine access to stable, decent-quality, affordable housing and also affects the geography of housing and educational opportunities. Thus, housing markets shape our communities, our neighborhoods, and our social and economic opportunities. Immergluck’s analysis and formulation of a way forward will be of particular interest to those concerned with urban form, neighborhood change and stability, and urban planning and policy, as well as those interested in housing and mortgage markets more generally.
Download or read book Understanding Housing Finance written by Peter King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest challenges for students of housing is understanding the financial principles which underpin the place of housing in the wider economy. By taking a political economy approach, Peter King's Understanding Housing Finance makes the basic principles of the subject accessible, without requiring detailed prior knowledge of economics or financial systems. The book explains housing finance by exploring the way in which markets and governments react together. It takes a conceptual approach to consider the advantages and limits of housing markets and why governments intervene. The consequences of intervention are explored in detail using examples of housing subsidy systems and policy mechanisms such as rent control, housing allowances and subsidies to owner occupation. This is a key reference for students on housing and planning courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The book’s approach means that its relevance is not confined to one particular housing system, but is useful for those studying housing finance in most developed and developing countries.
