Abstract:
The international collapse in housing prices started in 2007, although the number of house sales
was falling before that. The decline in housing markets was a major cause of the wider financial
crisis—which in turn amplified the housing-market problems.. Global economic contraction and
the decline in interbank lending, falling house prices and transactions: these economic
conditions have had a profound impact on mortgage-market actors in all advanced economies.
What have these changes meant for mortgage funding in particular? This paper reports results
from a survey of housing experts
1 in 17 developed economies. It concentrates on two aspects:
how mortgage systems have responded differently to both the liquidity crisis and the more
fundamental issues of increasing risk, and how governments are addressing the problems for
individual borrowers where economic and financial circumstances have changed.
