The housing boom of 2021 will be history soon. Cathy Baker of Baker Mortgage says it should continue. "Builders are still selling houses like crazy. They're buying land wherever they can because they can't build enough of them!"

THE MORTGAGE FORBEARANCE PROGRAM IS COMING TO AN END
Cathy Baker of Baker Mortgage explains. The purpose initially of the forbearance program was a result of the pandemic. There were so many people who had lost their jobs that it was a way for people who needed some time or a little bit of relief could postpone their payments. Baker says it has helped people in trouble - but there s a problem. The problem with it is the large majority of people who applied for the program really didn t need it. So - like anything else - in the end some ways it s going to come back and bite em! Interest is still due on the months home owners didn t pay. Mortgage Lenders are warned to avoid foreclosures by making their clients aware of their options going forward.
