Greetings!
On Wednesday of this week, we informed you of the issuance of April's data for the Administration's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). A careful reading of the document indicates that HAMP may not be succeeding. We thought the following graphic would be helpful. Please visit our Library to download the April data. |
Overview
- Number of permanent loan modifications: 299,092.
- Number of trial modifications canceled: 277,640.
- Number of "active trials": 637,353.
- Number of trial modifications started over the last seven months: 660,000.
According to Calculated Risk, this data "suggests that the HAMP trial period is about 7 months!"
Clearly, the trial portion of the loan modification process is taking far longer than the three-month period it is designed to last. Indeed, it appears that, more often than not, borrowers aren't surviving the trial modification stage.
In effect, the April Report shows the number of failed loan modifications trials is nearly as great as the number of successful ones.
Furthermore, a month-over-month comparative analysis indicates that the number of "All Trials Started" is decreasing steadily, along with the number of "All Permanent Modifications Started." |

The Compare Ratio provides a value that
reveals the largest discrepancies between the mortgagee's default and
claim percentage and the default and claim percentage to which it is
being compared.
An indicator of excessive defaults and claims is the FHA Compare Ratio statistic. When a Compare Ratio is above 150, HUD begins a due diligence process.
Mortgagees with a Compare Ratio of greater than 200 are subject to disciplinary review, termination of underwriting authority, and possible loss of FHA mortgagee approval.
