Rich are Losing their Fancy Houses

There is no need to shed tears for them – the rich who are losing their fancy houses are walking away intentionally saying adieu to their wine cellars. The housing crisis started off picking the working class in far away sub-divisions but it quickly advanced its tentacles towards the middle class in the suburbs and then got promoted to grapple with the rich.

For the rich the foreclosures are now attacking sometimes their residences and at other times their second houses or houses purchased for investment purposes. Whatever the type of houses, the rich have started to stop paying their mortgage dues at a dizzy rate – far more than the other unfortunate ones.

In the group of those loans that are worth more than million dollars, one out of seven houses are delinquent according to CoreLogic of New York Times. The irony is that those with much modest types of houses are struggling to be current on their loans and writing out to the lenders their regular cheques. Out of a group of 12 borrowers having houses below the million dollars range are delinquent.

The data from CoreLogic suggests that many of the rich and wealthy are intentionally leaving behind their properties that are proving to be more of liabilities than assets. To them it is just another soured investment. Sam Khater of CoreLogic, “The rich are different. They are more ruthless”.

In Los Altos five estates are scheduled for auctions. Owners of four have run up debts exceeding $ 1million each. Just few years ago it would have been a surprise if there was in a month even one foreclosure said Chris Redden of Town Crier a weekly journal of Los Altos.

In Cook County, Illinois the sheriff has hardly any time to pause from his job of evicting the owners residing in the fancy suburbs lying in northern and western Chicago. By the time the deputy reaches, the occupants have vanished. Ken Lowman is an agent dealing with luxury estate. He said of eleven sales he dealt with in June, four belonged to the distressed category.

The median price of residential units in Los Altos is $1.5 million. This makes it an exclusive town in the America. Many of the houses slated to be auctioned were still in occupation. The people opening the doors were hesitant to talk about their predicament in any detail.

The lenders have become apprehensive that about 11 million house owners who are underwater will take recourse to strategic default and walk away from their mortgages.
