What does this mean for a first time homebuyer who has been priced out of the market for so long while renting hoping to find a foreclosure soon?

Here are my guesses:

  • The progress of the correction gets pushed back 3 months.
  • The quality of foreclosed properties declines further as delinquent borrowers now have 90 additional days to strip their properties of copper, etc.
  • The cost of borrowing in Massachusetts increases as lenders must factor in this new risk.
  • On the plus side, lenders may be more motivated to achieve a short sale, which could be good if you seek out pre-foreclosures.
  • Also on the plus side, higher borrowing costs mean lower overall prices. You come out ahead if you have a larger than average down payment.
