Banks, already weighed down by bad loans, could face an even more hefty load of troubled mortgages on their books, according to experts.<\/p>\n<p>The result could be a damper on some sectors of Washington\u2019s economy \u2014 including the housing market \u2014 which has so far fared better than many states in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>About 12,600 subprime loans are scheduled to reset in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area over the next six months, or about 52 percent of the subprime loans left to reset in the area&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a large chunk of Alt-A loans \u2014 known for little or no income documentation \u2014 will start resetting with the possibility of higher rates in about a year, a trend that mortgage experts are watching warily because less is known about their loan performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reading the entire article, I can&#8217;t help but see an eerie similarity to what has already happened down in California.  The &#8220;experts&#8221; quoted in the article claim that since home prices are only down 5-10% here, loan resets won&#8217;t be as big of a deal as they have been in the Golden State.  But when most people put 0-3% down, it seems to me that a 5-10% drop in prices is more than enough to send those people into foreclosure.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think the Seattle-area will see as many foreclosures as San Diego or Sacramento, but I do think we&#8217;ll have our fair share, which will probably be more than any point in Seattle history.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>Kirsten Grind, <a title=\"Experts see more subprime-loan pain ahead\" href=\"http:\/\/seattle.bizjournals.com\/seattle\/stories\/2008\/08\/25\/story1.html?b=1219636800^1688993\">Puget Sound Business Journal<\/a>, 08.22.2008<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting story from Kirsten Grind over at the Puget Sound Business Journal: Experts see more subprime-loan pain ahead Another big wave of subprime mortgages will see interest rates reset to a much higher rate over the next six months in the Seattle area, an indication that the Puget Sound region might still be facing further&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[198],"tags":[65,75,7,181,112],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-2523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-business-journal","tag-financing","tag-foreclosures","tag-grind","tag-subprime"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
