Capitalizing on a Transitioning Housing Market

In many markets across the country, the spring home-buying season offers the brightest prospects for the

housing industry since 2006. The housing market improved steadily during much of 2012. We counted fewer

foreclosed properties and a declining shadow inventory. At the same time, reductions in the supply of homes

and improving demand drove solid gains in home prices. Importantly, this home price appreciation reduced

the number of borrowers who are underwater, providing them with more options. These are optimistic signals

that the housing market is finally rounding a very long corner and gaining traction.

Other encouraging developments for the longer term include the improving employment picture, more clarity

on important regulatory matters, for example the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s recent definition

of a qualified mortgage, more positive consumer sentiment and spending and finally, the wealth effect from

record-high equity markets.

Nurturing Growth

As conditions in the housing market gradually improve and the unusual conditions of the post-recession

market recede, we anticipate a shift in the drivers behind the mortgage origination market. With interest rates

at record lows over the last few years, many borrowers took advantage of the opportunity to refinance their

loans. We expect the high level of refinancing activity we saw over the past six quarters to subside somewhat as

we exit this year and enter into 2014. Conversely, we expect to see the purchase market increase progressively

as the trend away from homeownership reverses. This improvement in the purchase market will take time and

will not likely, in the short- to medium-term, replace the current boom in refinancing-related volumes.

A healthy purchase market, however, is fundamental to the ultimate turnaround of the broader housing

industry. Although household formation blossomed in 2012, Mortgage Bankers Association research shows

net gains in renter households. While multi-family housing is growing, first-time buyer demand has weakened.

Undoubtedly, some potential buyers will continue to decide that homeownership carries more risk than

they are willing to undertake at this time. We believe that many others will conclude that, with the economy

improving and the affordability of home ownership at very attractive levels, it is the right time to purchase a

home.

In 2013, CoreLogic economists expect the housing market will continue to benefit from increased housing-

purchase demand and importantly, a steadily improving economy. Given these factors, we project home prices

will rise about 6 percent. This increase will further reduce the current negative equity overhang and set up

2014 as a year of transition away from a dependence on refinancing volumes toward a purchase-oriented

originations market.

Solutions in Shifting Markets

As we transition, all participants in the mortgage industry will benefit from adaptability. Here are some

suggestions to consider as you focus on making your business even more nimble heading into 2014:

Remain flexible. You need the ability to adjust staffing quickly when the refinance boom recedes. Select a vendor

that can provide experienced teams of mortgage experts to help manage fluctuating production volumes. Ideally,

your vendor arranges its teams and processes to mirror the way you do business, and can present solutions in

days, rather than weeks.

Raise the bar. The regulatory environment is more complex than ever with different state and federal requirements.

Skilled and dedicated counsel enhance your ability to respond quickly to regulatory changes and demands.

Could you use more power on your compliance team? As you launch staff training initiatives and programs

to prepare for new quality control measures and legal reviews, a solutions-oriented expert can facilitate your

company’s readiness to meet changing servicing guidelines. Finally, select your vendors and partners carefully

based on quality, delivery and their ability to pass muster with the regulators.

Operate more efficiently. Streamlining your operations is a must in a transitioning market. Are you launching

new automation initiatives by building out and upgrading systems? Have you decided to shift more services

online and go paperless? Look to a collaborative business relationship that increases your ability to implement

these changes. The result? You’ve made the process as simple as possible for your team.

Solid information dramatically improves your ability to make smart decisions in a transitioning market. In this

month’s issue of “The MarketPulse,” Dr. Mark Fleming, our chief economist, shares insights on the status of

the economic recovery and gives an overview of property disposition timelines. You’ll also find Deputy Chief

Economist Sam Khater’s in-depth analysis of the supply constraints that exist in many markets today, with a

chart highlighting short sale and REO growth rates by state.

In closing, thank you for selecting CoreLogic as a prime source for solutions to improve your business

performance, identify and manage growth opportunities, and mitigate risk. You can depend on us to help you

successfully navigate compliance and simplify your workflow, technology and vendor management, all the while

delivering unique insights through property, homeowner and mortgage analytics.

Data as of January 2013

s we enter March and look

forward to the green shoots of

spring, news of modest economic

growth continues. In January, the Bureau

of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that

the economy contracted by 0.1 percent.

But thanks to the fact that these economic

numbers are typically revised, the latest

news is better, with fourth quarter GDP

growth estimated at 0.1 percent. Not

much growth, but not negative either!

Many worry that the Federal Reserve’s

extraordinary financial measures to

achieve this modest growth will cause

significant levels of inflation in the longer

run. However, the headline consumer

price index, CPI, which measures

overall inflation, is currently steady and

indicates that consumer prices rose only

1.7 percent over a year ago December. So

for now, this low CPI level and indications

that it is not trending higher alleviates

concern of near-term inflation.

Digging deeper into the CPI data reveals

a hidden cost to the consumer. Prices of

what we eat, where we live and how we

get around are slowly rising. Based on

December data, food prices are growing

at 2.4 percent per year. Energy prices,

including gasoline, while declining since

November 2012, had dramatic rises earlier

in the year. The price of shelter (housing

prices and rents) is also on the rise. To

be clear, these increases are not dramatic,

but still something to watch. As the cost of

life increases, less is left for discretionary

spending. Food and energy prices are

typically set more by global demand and

supply dynamics than domestic drivers.

An American consumer’s costs are in part

determined by the desires and demands

of consumers around the world.

The Cost of Extended Disposition Timelines

Consumer costs are also likely to rise with more regulatory oversight of mortgage servicing practices. Whether federal or state, such as the California Homeowner’s Bill of Rights, these regulations increase the time it takes to dispose of a distressed mortgage asset.

Extended disposition timelines impose operational costs on servicers, carrying costs on investors in the mortgages, and in some cases, significant legal risk and compliance costs. The likely result is more expensive mortgages and possibly increased rationing of credit based on the additional costs of disposition, which may vary dramatically by local foreclosure process requirements. In some judicial foreclosure states the timelines are long, measured in years instead of months. But what is “normal?” To determine what constitutes a normal timeline, one has to look at disposition timelines prior to the housing crisis.

In this CoreLogic analysis, the disposition timeline starts with a serious delinquency (90 days) and concludes when the property becomes a real estate owned (REO) sale. This includes the amount of time the loan sits in delinquency before being placed

in foreclosure by the servicer, sits in foreclosure while the foreclosure process occurs, and then sits in REO before becoming an REO sale. Therefore, properties are in serious delinquency (SDQ, 90 days or more past due) for a period of time, in foreclosure for a period of time and in REO until finally sold.

Figure 1 shows the average number of months it takes a property to pass through the entire disposition timeline in judicial and non-judicial foreclosure states. While we may expect a longer disposition process in judicial states, this has only been the case since mid-2008. The “cost” of disposition was approximately the same, taking, on average, seven months in the first half of the prior decade. At the end of 2012, the disposition time had risen across all states, averaging 24 months in non-judicial states and 35 months in judicial states. It takes 46 percent longer to complete a distressed asset disposition in judicial states than in non-judicial states. Notably, it also takes almost five times longer to process

a full disposition in non-judicial states today than in 2003 when serious delinquencies were rare, foreclosure could happen quickly and an REO sale was expedient.

Reasons for the increased time to disposition include operational capacity constraints at the servicers

and in the court systems, more complex disposition processes that consider a variety of different alternatives, legal challenges to the process and changing regulations. From a housing market perspective, the increased timelines are helping to constrain supply of the most deleterious assets. In

the short run this actually benefits the housing markets. CoreLogic Deputy Chief Economist Sam Khater discusses this in more detail in his article “The Rise of Institutional Investors and the Decline of REOs” in this issue of The MarketPulse.

Among mortgage lenders, the cost of disposition is better recognized and understood today than ever before. The costs are higher across the board and even more so in judicial states. Recognizing this cost of mortgage lending will lead to differentiated pricing of loans to reflect either differences in disposition timelines, differentiated minimum qualifications for credit or both.

“… it also takes almost five times longer

to process a full disposition in non-

judicial states today than in 2003…”

End.

Cont...

uring 2012, real estate owned (REO) inventories fell by 30 percent. This decline

not only triggered a steep rebound in home prices, but renewed optimism about the broader housing market and recovery. However, the decline across markets has been uneven. Midwestern and northeastern markets continue to struggle with REO inventory levels, while some markets in the South and Southwest have experienced massive declines.

Where REOs Have Declined the Most

REOs began to decline in early 2011. Since the flow of completed foreclosures fell by about one-third after 2010’s robo-signing scandal, this was unsurprising. While the co-movements in REO declines across markets were more uniform in 2011, some drastic differences emerged in 2012. Beginning early in 2012, many of the former boom/bust cities began to experience unusually large declines in REOs relative to other markets where REOs remained flat or increased. By far the largest decline in REOs in 2012 occurred in Atlanta (see the Chart of the Month on page 6).

Examining the top five largest REO-decline markets reveals the most remarkable aspect, which was the quick and sudden drop that occurred in early

2012 (Figure 1). REOs in these markets began to decline in 2011 at a moderate, though volatile, pace until early 2012, at which point the level of REOs collapsed. Interestingly, REO levels not only collapsed, but the monthly volatility disappeared. Economic and real estate data indicates a large exogenous shift that has impacted the data and overwhelmed normal volatility.

Institutional Versus Individual Investor

The acceleration in the decline last year suggests that the intensity of investment activity ramped up quite a bit. But was the increase due to individual or institutional investors? To answer that question, CoreLogic created a composite list of 16 markets that include the top five large markets for REO declines, the top 10 markets ranked by the number of REOs, and markets that have been

identified as ones in which institutional

investors are active1.

The media has focused attention on

institutional investors using cash to

invest in single-family residential

properties to rent, but relative to

the overall market, the scale of their

purchases is still very small. For example,

Blackstone is slated to be the largest

purchaser in 2013 with a commitment to

buy about 15,000 properties, compared

to the 600,000 investor-purchased

homes that used first-lien financing in

20122. Institutional investors are rapidly

increasing, however, and given their

focus in a few small selected markets,

their impact is very large. Therefore,

to understand what is driving the

market, both types of investors must

be analyzed.

For a variety of reasons, it is very

difficult to cleanly identify and

classify individual investors versus

institutional investors. To create a

proxy for individual investor

activity, we defined any investor

that used first-lien financing as

an individual since the majority

of small individual investors

would most likely finance

their purchase3. We defined

institutional investors as entities

that purchased five or more

properties a year using the same name,

or investors that used an incorporated

entity to fund their purchases4.

After collapsing in late 2008 and early

2009, individual investor activity

reached a trough of about 10,000

monthly purchases. It slowly rebounded

in late 2009 and 2010 and continued

to rise in 2011. Since then, individual

investors have consistently been

increasing their presence, becoming

a large force in 2012. In fact, individual

investor transactions swelled to more

than 50,000 units by late fall 2012—

the highest level since March 2006, one

month before the peak in home prices.

While institutional investors are rapidly

entering the market, they are investing

in a targeted manner, selecting some

markets over others. Of the 16 markets

analyzed, CoreLogic classified them

into markets with rapidly rising

institutional investor activity versus

markets with flat or a smaller increase in

institutional activity. Cities with rapidly

rising institutional activity include

Atlanta, Ga.; Detroit, Mich.; Las Vegas,

Nev.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and Los Angeles,

Riverside and Sacramento, Calif. Cities

with flat or lower recent increases

in institutional investor activity

include Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago, Ill.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Oakland and San

Diego, Calif.; Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, Fla.; and Warren, Mich.

The markets with r is ing institutional activity increased their transaction share by more than 50 percent, and the increase primarily occurred in 2012. Markets with flat or smaller increases in institutional investors

increased their share by less than 15 percent. However, the increases in these markets were back loaded in 2012, indicating that institutional investors are beginning to move beyond the core markets where they ramped up activity during 2012.

Even within the markets identified as ones with a rising institutional share, three markets clearly stood above the rest because they had a significant rise and a high share of institutional investors. These markets are Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Not coincidentally, they were the markets with the largest percentage of numerical declines in REOs last year. The institutional share of investors in these markets in 2010 and 2011 was flat, but in 2012 they rapidly increased their purchases (Figure 2).

In Phoenix, the share of institutional investors throughout 2011 was 16  percent, but in 2012 it rapidly increased, reaching 26 percent by the end of the year—the largest rise of any market we examined. Atlanta was a close second to Phoenix with a 15 percent

Cont...

“The markets with rising institutional

[investor] activity increased their

transaction share by more than

50 percent, and the increase

primarily occurred in 2012.”

Footnotes3 Individual investor classification excludes borrowers who are buying second homes. While second home activity was up in 2012, the rise was very modest compared to investors' activity.4 Since the majority of institutional investors use cash, CoreLogic used public data to identify those investors, where investors can be identified irrespective of the type of financing.

CoreLogic used a threshold of five or more property purchases within a single year to identify institutional investors. CoreLogic used that threshold to identify institutional investors because the GSEs limit the number of properties that individual investors can finance. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae limit financing to four and 10 properties, respectively. Therefore, the threshold is large enough to remove most individual investors. CoreLogic also included buyers that used a corporate entity name because many institutional investors are continuously renaming their entities, and CoreLogic economists were concerned that the approach would miss some buyers. This approach will also pick up some individual investors but they are a minority.

share in 2011 that had reached 24 percent by the end of 2012. In Las Vegas, the institutional investor share was 15 percent in 2011, but reached 22 percent by December 2012. Relative to individual investors, who have been steadily increasing their presence over the last three years, the rise in institutional investment activity has been confined to 2012. The important takeaway is that this is a small class of buyers that has grown significantly over the last year.

The analysis thus far has been concentrated on the movements in the institutional investor share because the movements in investor shares (versus level) typically have more of an impact on prices. However, the level of institutional activity is also very revealing. In Miami, institutional investors accounted for 30 percent of sales in 2012, by far the highest of any market examined (Figure 3). Miami was followed by Phoenix (23 percent), Charlotte (21 percent), Las Vegas (19 percent) and Orlando (18 percent). Clearly, institutional investors are concentrated in five states: Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina.

Impact on Prices

Given the rise of both individual and institutional investor demand, it’s not a surprise REO prices are increasing in high-demand markets. With Phoenix leading the pack and Chicago the laggard, all 16 markets are experiencing increases in REO prices (Figure 4). In Q4 2012, Phoenix REO prices were 37 percent higher than a year ago, followed by Las Vegas (30 percent) and several California markets. All six markets with rising shares of

institutional investors experienced double-digit increases and were among the top nine for REO price appreciation. More importantly, the ripple effects are greatly impacting the broader market. Lower-end home prices in markets with rising shares of institutional investors are up 15 percent from a year ago, compared to only 6 percent for the remaining markets.

Conclusion

Institutional investors accelerated purchases in 2012 in select markets with more activity in the South and

Southwest, while generally being much

less active in California and the Midwest.

The large REO volume declines in Las

Vegas, Atlanta and Phoenix are due

to institutional investor transaction

activity, while the declines in California

markets such as San Diego, Oakland

and Riverside are primarily due to

individual investor transaction activity.

In the Midwest, REOs remain elevated.

Minneapolis and Chicago are drawing

less interest from both types of investors

generally, relative to these other markets.

Only Detroit is garnering interest from

institutional investors.End.

REO Declines Are Not Always a Good Thing

By Aurora Bristor

In January CoreLogic wrote that a drop in REO sales signaled an improving market5. While true for

most markets, a surge in bulk investor

activity can destabilize other markets.

This chart includes the top 10 markets

by REO decline in 2012. It also shows

some outliers to monitor. Atlanta is

a clear outlier at an indexed6 REO

drop from peak to trough of 366. The

second tier in declines is composed of

four western cities: Phoenix, Riverside,

Los Angeles and Las Vegas, ranging

from 236 to 255 lost indexed REOs.

Within this otherwise tight group

and even across all other markets, Las

Vegas distinguishes itself with a much

more dramatic REO shift. It outstrips

the others in the REO decline as a

share of the market (2.8 percent), and

in the peak to trough percent change

(-80.4 percent). While some of these

markets may be recovering, in others,

the REO decline is driven by investors,

and homeowners may be pulled out of

the water into a rocky boat.

Mortgage Performance ► At the end of January 2013, there were just under 2.6 million mortgages, or 6.4 percent, in serious delinquency (SDQ, defined as a mortgage 90 days or more past due, including those in foreclosure or REO). Florida continued to lead the U.S. with the highest SDQ rate (14.9 percent). Nationally, the inventory of foreclosed homes stood at 2.9 percent, a 21 percent decrease from a year ago and the largest year-over-year decrease over the last 12 years. The inventory of foreclosed homes is down 25.7 percent from the peak in January 2011.

► In January 2013, there were 61,000 completed foreclosures in the U.S., down from 75,000 in January 2012, which represents a year-over-year decrease of 19 percent. Completed foreclosures are an indication of the total number of homes actually lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, approximately 4.2 million foreclosures have been completed across the country.

The MarketPulse – Volume 2, Issue 3

Home Sales ► Total home sales decreased by 4 percent year over year in January 2013. New homes sales experienced a year-over-year decrease of 16 percent. However, sales of previously owned homes grew by 5 percent on a year-over-year basis.

► Distressed sales accounted for 24 percent of all homes sales nationwide in January 2013. REO sales (a component of distressed sales) accounted for 13 percent of all sales. While the share of REO sales increased over the previous month, this figure remains far below the 32 percent share of total sales in January 2011. Like REO sales, the short sales share also increased over the previous month to 11 percent. The states with the highest distressed sales share are Nevada (47  percent), Michigan (38 percent), California (37 percent), Arizona (30  percent), and Georgia and Florida (at 29 percent respectively).
