Defaults are Decreasing with the Reduction of Mortgage Principal

By
Real Estate Agent with Sothbey's International Realty

According to a new study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, borrowers who have had a recent loan modification to reduce their interest rate and loan balances are the most likely not to re-default on their mortgage.

The study says that a borrower’s chance of defaulting within one year is reduced by 11 percent when only interest rates are lowered. Although, when a borrower’s loan balance is reduced by 25 percent and the interest stays the same or is reduced, the borrower’s probability of default is reduced by 26.5 percent.
