1930s

[edit]

1968–1991

[edit]
  • 1968: As part of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, the Government mortgage-related agency, Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) is converted from a federal government entity to a stand-alone government sponsored enterprise (GSE) which purchases and securitizes mortgages to facilitate liquidity in the primary mortgage market. The move takes the debt of Fannie Mae off of the books of the government.
  • 1970 Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is chartered by an act of Congress, as a GSE, to buy mortgages on the secondary market, pool them, and sell them as mortgage-backed securities to investors on the open market. The average cost of a new home in 1970 is $26,600 [2] ($167,817 in 2017 dollars). From 1960 to 1970, inflation rose from 1.4% to 6.5% (a 5.1% increase), while the consumer price index (CPI) rose from about 85 points in 1960 to about 120 points in 1970, but the median price of a house nearly doubled from $16,500 in 1960 to $26,600 in 1970. In 1970, the median price of a home was $22,100 to $25,700.[3]
  • 1974: Equal Credit Opportunity Act imposes heavy sanctions for financial institutions found guilty of discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age.
  • 1975: In January 1975, the Median Home Price was $37,200, while the Average Home Price was $39,500.[4]
  • 1977: Community Reinvestment Act passed to encourage banks and savings and loan associations to offer credit to minority groups on lower incomes or owning small businesses 12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.).[5][6] Beforehand, the companies had been engaging in a practice known as redlining.
  • July, 1978: Section 121 allowed for a $100,000 one-time exclusion in capital gain for sellers 55 years or older at the time of sale.[7]
  • 1980: In January 1980, the Median Home Price was $62,900, while the Average Home Price was $72,400.[8] The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 granted all thrifts, including savings and loan associations, the power to make consumer and commercial loans and to issue transaction accounts, but with little regulatory oversight of competing banks; also exempted federally chartered savings banks, installment plan sellers and chartered loan companies from state usury limits.[9] The cost of a new home in 1980 is $76,400 [10] ($189,918 in 2007 dollars).
  • 1981: The Section 121 exclusion, allowing for a one-time exclusion in capital gain for sellers 55 years or older at the time of sale, was increased from $100,000 to $125,000.[7]
  • 1981: Each Federal Reserve bank establishes a Community Affairs Office to ensure compliance with Community Reinvestment Act.[11][12]
  • 1985: In January 1985, the Median Home Price was $82,500, while the Average Home Price was $98,300.[13]
  • 1985–1991: Savings and Loan Crisis caused by rising interest rates and over development in the commercial real estate sector, and exacerbated by deregulation of savings and loan lending standards and a reduction in capital reserve requirements from 5% to 3%.[citation needed]
  • 1986: The Tax Reform Act of 1986 eliminated the tax deduction for interest paid on credit cards, encouraging the use of home equity through refinancing, second mortgages and home equity lines of credit (HELOC) by consumers.[14]
  • 1986–1991: New homes constructed dropped from 1.8 to 1 million, the lowest rated since World War II.[15]
  • 1989: One-month drop in sales of previously owned homes of 12.6 percent.;[16] Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) enacted which established the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), closing hundreds of insolvent thrifts and moved regulatory authority to the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS); required federal agencies to issue Community Reinvestment Act ratings publicly.[17]
  • 1990: In January 1990, the Median Home Price was $125,000, while the Average Home Price was $151,700.[18] The average cost of a new home in 1990 is $149,800 [19] ($234,841 in 2007 dollars).
  • 1991–1997: Flat Housing prices.
  • 1991: US recession, new construction prices fall, but above inflationary growth allows them to return by 1997 in real terms.

The goal was to provide a maximum downpayment assistance grant of either $10,000 or six percent of the purchase price of the home, whichever was greater. In addition, the Bush Administration committed to reforming the homebuying process that would lower closing costs by approximately $700 per loan. It was said it would further stimulate homeownership for all Americans.[44]
  • 2003-2007: The Federal Reserve failed to use its supervisory and regulatory authority over banks, mortgage underwriters and other lenders, who abandoned loan standards (employment history, income, down payments, credit rating, assets, property loan-to-value ratio and debt-servicing ability), emphasizing instead lender's ability to securitize and repackage subprime loans.[35]

  • 2004–2005: Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, and Nevada record price increases in excess of 25% per year.[citation needed]
  • 2004-2006: The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates in 17 consecutive quarterly meetings from 1% to 6.25% to slow the economy and forestall inflation. This greatly increased the cost of lending, especially for loans indexed to the Fed's rates, including short-term adjustable rate mortgages. Many borrowers, especially subprime, saw their mortgage payments skyrocket as much as 60% after periodic resetting to their index.
  • 2005: United States housing market correction ("bubble bursting").
    • January: The Median Home Price was $223,100, while the Average Home Price was $283,000.[47]

The decrease in existing-home sales is the steepest since 1989. In Q1/2007, S&P/Case-Shiller house price index records first year-over-year decline in nationwide house prices since 1991.[55] The subprime mortgage industry collapses, foreclosure activity increases [56] and rising interest rates threaten to depress prices further as problems in the subprime markets spread to the near-prime and prime mortgage markets.[57]

The longer housing prices remain stagnant or fall, the greater the penalty to our future economic growth."[54]

  • December 26: Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller indexes of housing prices in 20 large metropolitan areas for October 2007 is released showing that for the 10th straight month priced have fallen, but most worrying is that the decline in home prices accelerated and spread to more regions of the country in October.

  • March 14–18: Dropping valuations of mortgage securities caused by skyrocketing default and foreclosure rates forces margin calls to the Wall Street bank Bear Stearns for debts the bank used to leverage mortgage issuances, and threatens BSC with bankruptcy and causes worldwide market jitters. In a weekend deal brokered by U.S. Treasury secretary Paulson and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, JPMorgan bank agrees to purchase BSC for $2 per share, compared to their 2007 high of nearly $170, in exchange for the Federal Reserve Bank agreeing to accept BSC's devalued mortgage backed securities as collateral for public loans at the newly created Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF), effectively providing a mechanism to bail out Wall Street banks threatened with insolvency.[91]

The report noted on page 1, "Reflecting an erosion in asset quality, provisions for loan losses totaled $9.2 billion in the first quarter [of 2007], an increase of $3.2 billion (54.6%) from a year earlier." The reason for the loan-loss provision increases was an across the board increase in delinquencies and charge offs which increased 48.4% from year ago levels. The report noted on page 2 that "Net charge-offs of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans were up by $268 million (93.2%) [from year ago levels]."”
