Not surprisingly, the days of using our homes as ATMs with no withdrawal limit are over. Freddie Mac reports that, in the second quarter, net dollars of home equity converted into cash as part of refinancings of conventional, prime mortgages totaled about $7.5 billion. That was about the same as in the first quarter, but well below the peak of $83.7 billion converted in the second quarter of 2006.
Peter Schiff sees socialization of United States bubble economy will sink the Federal Reserve Note. US mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are facing growing pressure as fears intensify about a potential calamity at the firms, which underpin trillions of dollars in home loans. Together they own or guarantee some US$5.2 trillion in loans, or about 40 per cent of the total value of home loans in the United States. Peter Schiff at Euro Pacific Capital said the two giants were likely to need government bailouts in view of the “dubious quality of their mortgage portfolios”. “Together both firms have less than US$90 billion in capital reserves to ensure losses on more than US$5 trillion in mortgage debt … Clearly, Fannie and Freddie would have no ability to survive without a government bailout. This means that taxpayers will be on the hook for hundreds of billions of losses, perhaps even more than one trillion.”

Freddie Mac says the typical rate for a 30-year loan jumped from 4.61% last week to 4.83% this week. The rate reflects what lenders said they were offering to well-qualified borrowers with 20% down payments or equivalent home equity who paid 0.7% of the loan amount in upfront fees.
