Student loan debt is unsustainably high, and is a barrier to first-time home purchase.
The Class of 2011 is the most indebted ever.
Student debt can carry interest rates as high as subprime mortgages, and is hard to shed even through bankruptcy. The Collegiate Employment Research Institute estimates that in 2011, the average salary for new bachelor degree holders is $36,866, down 21% from $46,500 in 2009. The Charlottesville market is especially vulnerable in light of its dependence on higher education and its large number of recent graduates.
Avg. Debt =
$22,900
Average student loan debt, adjusted for inflation, is up 8% from 2010, and has risen more than 47% over the past decade.

High levels of mortgage debt must be reduced in order to revive the market.
Nonetheless, there is no near-term resolution to the substantial inventory of distressed loans.
There is no consensus on how to allocate the cost of considerable unrealized losses between borrowers, investors and taxpayers. Any federal action to force principal write downs would carry significant legal property rights implications.

The Administration is attempting to help those who are current, but underwater.
The Administration is again reforming the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) in order to make it more workable for owners seeking to reduce their mortgage costs.
The newly announced revisions expand eligibility and reduce numerous disincentives for lender participation. If it is successful, then the plan will:
Stimulate consumer spending Enable faster pay down of existing mortgages Support economic growth which will benefit the housing market
21 vhda.com | 800-227-VHDA
In the short term, promotion of refinance may undercut new loan originations.
The plan will not stimulate home sales.
It will not reduce the number of under water homeowners. New mortgage originations could actually suffer if lenders become overwhelmed by refinance demand.
Federal support of low GSE interest costs continues to have a significant downside.
It impedes the revival of the private mortgage-backed securities market thereby perpetuating federal dependency. It undercuts the ability of state housing finance agencies to fund first-time homebuyer programs, which are now the main source of needed down payment assistance.

that led to skyrocketing defaults once falling prices made it infeasible to refinance unaffordable debt. Nevertheless, federal regulatory and program reforms continue to prioritize reducing allowable loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, despite the inability of current purchasersespecially first-time buyersto afford a sizable down payment.
24 vhda.com | 800-227-VHDA
Historic experience with higher LTV lending shows the risks are manageable.
Following the Great Depression, the federal FHA and VA loan programs enabled a whole generation of young households to become successful homeowners with only a limited down payment. Today, state housing finance agencies continue to successfully manage high LTV lending programs with loan performance records that regularly exceed those of the conventional mortgage industry. Nonetheless, the continued ability of state housing finance agencies to address first-time homebuyer needs is jeopardized by unintended consequences of broader federal policy.

3. Addressing Obstacles
26 vhda.com | 800-227-VHDA
Rebuilding Confidence
The market is at its nadir and pessimism reins. In this environment, industry partners must work together to re-instill the confidence of buyers.
A new analysis of data from the Michigan Survey of Consumers by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, finds that younger households are showing especially low levels of confidence about homeownership.
Continuing industry support for homebuyer education programs and K-12 financial literacy classes are critical to building healthy demand among young buyers.
Likewise, resolving the student loan crisis is a needed long-term step to ensure the confidence and ability of young households to take on mortgage debt.

The market is still struggling to find a firm bottom. A significant recovery is not imminent.
They reflect a lack of political consensus on fundamental issues. Many are beyond the scope of direct industry influence. There are barriers to bringing first-time buyers back into the market. VHDA is taking actions to bolster the market and support a sustainable recovery.
