No sabe ni de qué ni contra qué se está defendiendo, pero lo hace con todas sus fuerzas. A mi no me hace gracia.
Demasiado bien estaba llevando el mercado hipotecario español la escalada del Euribor y hemos tenido que esperar hasta comienzos de este año para encontrarnos con números que ya empiezan a preocupar, registrando en el mes de marzo su peor trimestre desde el tercer trimestre de 2020 en términos de volumen de firma de hipotecas, según se desprende de los datos publicados por el Banco de España esta semana.

¿ Que locura es esta de un aval del 35% ?¿ Y las autoridades económicas europeas que opinan de este akelarre de última hora ?Saludos.
Paisajes urbanos o...Donde no hay mata...no hay patata.Esta mañana leo que El País lamenta que Boric, orgulloso comunista desde la pubertad y agente del castrismo bolivariano en Chile, haya perdido la votación para elegir a 51 redactores de una nueva constitución. Derrota que sigue al 62% de rechazo al anterior intento del Post-Marxismo por imponer la suya. De alguna forma La Vanguardia copia la retórica del periódico de la Sra. Botín en titulares interiores y tilda a los que han ganado de "extrema derecha" usando la ya vieja cantinela del foro de Sao Paulo, Puebla, etc. Los patronos de los narcoestados en los que se va convirtiendo la vieja América Hispana o Ibérica. I-berri-a.... de clara raíz eusko-ibero-celta-bereber-tamazhigA renglón seguido Boric se pone tierno y pide a los ganadores que no repitan su propio error de no contar con el resto. Solemos pensar por estos pagos que nuestra América y su degradación narco-comunista nos cae muy lejos y que aquí esas cosas no pasarán. Craso error. Craso error porque está pasando y con españoles al frente a ambos lados del charco. No solo del Podemismo sino con un PSOE metido hasta las cachas blanqueando el proceso hacia el Norte y hacia el Este. La guinda, de momento, la ponen Bono y González nacionalizados en la Nueva España sin que nadie levante una ceja.Enfrente no tienen a nadie porque este Sr. de Os Peares no tiene el perfil ni la apariencia ni la voluntad de expresar las ideas necesarias para resistir al narco post-marxismo. Quien discrepe de tan rotunda afirmación no tiene más que recordar la nula respuesta del PP a los constantes intentos de los partidos de Extrema Izquierda (incluyo al PSOE) de promover el uso de la droga en una nación como España con índices altísimos de consumo desde los 12 años. Y no hago sangre de los "errores judiciales" durante los procesos de instrucción que permitieron la excarcelación de tantos y tantos capos narcos detenidos.Hoy viene en la Vanguardia una foto de un barrio de Barcelona plagado de okupas que a mi me recuerda la frontera con los ranchitos de Caracas, con los de a Rocinha de Río de Janeiro o con los barrios de aluvión del nordeste de Bogotá por no irnos al Palermo de BA.Aunque, bien pensado, los centros de muchas ciudades USA se les han comenzado a parecer hace ya más de 20 años.Estos dos últimos años he comenzado a ver algo viejo pero que no había captado: el control que la Extrema Izquierda tiene de sectores clave de los EEUU y Canadá.La degradación totalitaria de un Narco-Antropoceno avanza y nos come por todas partes y no se ve solución visible ni perspectivas de ella. Ideas constructivas, pocas.El Antropoceno de las ideologías de Extrema Izquierda tiene muy mala pinta y los que se dicen de derechas no dan soluciones porque han perdido la guerra sin darse cuenta de que se la habían declarado.Saludos
No nos dijeron que había que terminar con las prácticas bancarias destinadas a financiar el 100% de la hipoteca porque ponían en riesgo la estabilidad del sistema financiero, se creaban burbujas y además se animaba a familias sin ahorros a poner en riesgo su solvencia?

Va a ser una carnicería. Y la sangre nos salpicará a todos.
Collectively, these results suggest that the effects of HtB largely depend on local supply conditions. We find that the scheme fails to trigger more construction activity, but instead causes house prices to increase inside the GLA, precisely the region that is most affected by the ‘affordability crisis’. This has distributional implications. The main beneficiaries of HtB in already unaffordable areas may be developers and landowners rather than struggling first-time buyers; while access to homeownership is improved in principle (credit constraints are relaxed), the present value of the financial burden associated with the purchase of a home further increases.
Help to Buy, heading for troubleFirst-time buyers borrowed too much for flats that were too expensive. Now they can no longer afford their homes. Why didn’t the government see it coming?Freddie Forsyth was very proud when he got the keys to his first home in 2018, aged just 25.However, the software developer, now 31, was only able to afford the £480,000 one-bedroom flat in Dalston, east London, through the government’s Help to Buy equity loan scheme.Forsyth saved £60,000, enough for a 13 per cent deposit, and took a 40 per cent equity loan from the government, which was the maximum available in London.“I was pleased to be fortunate enough to be able to own a flat and no longer have to rent,” he said.In 2018 the flat was perfect. Five years later and it has become a curse: a property market dip, soaring interest rates, and issues with wooden balconies in the block have dragged the flat’s value down to £425,000 — Forsyth now has less equity than he started with.“Without Help to Buy I would have had to move further out of London, which I really didn’t want to do at the time,” he said. “I know that the price only really goes down if you sell it, so hopefully by the time I move it will be back up.”Forsyth is one of thousands of property owners who used Help to Buy and are finding that it has not given them the foothold on the ladder they thought it would. Some are tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket and struggling with their level of debt.Many felt encouraged by developers and the government to stretch the amount they borrowed beyond normal levels at a time of record low interest rates to buy homes that would otherwise have been out of their reach. All this came just as house prices were hitting a peak.Now mortgage costs are soaring and house prices are falling. Last month the Bank of England put up its base rate for the 11th time since December 2021. From a historic low of 0.1 per cent it is now 4.25 per cent and widely expected to climb further. While this affects all households, it is worst for those who borrowed the most.A further problem for Help to Buy owners is that in many areas developers pushed up the value of new-builds about 20 per cent compared with similar homes, making them more susceptible to a drop in price.The peak sales period was 2016 to 2018. Many took on five-year fixed-rate mortgages and their repayments are now about to soar. They must also now start paying interest on the money that the government lent them.Christian Hilber from the London School of Economics said: “The timing of Help to Buy was such that rising interest rates were more than a distinct possibility when the five-year grace period for buyers would come to an end. It would appear that the government at the time was either completely myopic or gambled on an ever-prospering housing market and on interest rates staying low for the foreseeable future.“That gamble failed to pay off and the younger generation and those on moderate incomes are the main casualties.”Help to Buy was introduced in 2013 and closed to new applicants last October, but this week The Times reported that the government was considering resurrecting the scheme to boost support for the Conservative Party among younger voters.Boom for buildersA Facebook group for those with questions about what to do next is full of people whose property values have plunged. Others are worried about much higher repayments. They do not understand how the scheme that was supposed to be their saviour has pushed them into financial turmoil.Nick Morrey, an independent mortgage broker, said: “This is a perfect storm for those looking to secure a greater share of their property or 100 per cent ownership — higher rates, larger loans to buy out, and tougher affordability requirements.”When Help to Buy was launched the housing market was on its knees after the financial crisis. The Conservative-led coalition government needed to get banks to lend to those with small deposits. George Osborne, the chancellor, launched a scheme that would be the biggest housing policy since Margaret Thatcher’s Right to Buy scheme created a generation of homeowners.The government would, for the first time, directly lend to people struggling to get a mortgage, on homes worth up to £600,000 built by participating developers.Borrowers would have to put down at least a 5 per cent deposit but could then take a government loan, interest-free for five years, worth up to 20 per cent of the property’s price, or 40 per cent in London from 2016.The idea was that not only would they have a cheaper mortgage, but that as house prices rose they would build up equity and then pay off the loan.It was “a budget for people who aspire to own their own homes”, Osborne said. “A great deal for homebuyers . . . a great support for homebuilders.”And it proved hugely popular. By the end of September last year the government had lent £23.7 billion on 375,654 homes. Developers loved it too. In June 2019 the government spending watchdog the National Audit Office (NAO) found that Britain’s five largest housebuilders sold 50 per cent more homes under the scheme than they did before.As demand soared so did the price of new properties. Buyers stretched their incomes further and further. The NAO found that while first-time buyers who bought without Help to Buy typically borrowed 3.5 times their income, those who used it borrowed 4.5 times, and as much as six times their income in London. In the mortgage boom before the global financial crisis in 2007-08, the average home loan was 4 times income.The NAO urged the government to review the information given to buyers to ensure they fully understood the financial risks of buying a new property through the scheme. Homes England, the government body that funds new affordable property, said it had done this.The crunch, sceptics warned, would come when house prices started to fall and historically low interest rates came to an end.Falling valuesAlice Perry and her partner, Lewis, bought a three-bedroom house in Wigston, Leicestershire, in March 2019 for £286,995, with a £57,399 Help to Buy loan. The couple, who now have a one-year-old son, pay £626 a month for their mortgage and hoped to pay off their government loan before interest starts accruing next year. With interest rates rising sharply, that looks a remote possibility.Perry, who works for a youth charity, said: “It’s just been bad timing. We’re not deluded about Help to Buy. We couldn’t have bought without it. Individually none of these things — mortgage rates, Help to Buy and a cost of living crisis — is a problem. It’s all of them together.”The average five-year fixed mortgage rate is up from 1.59 per cent in December 2021 to 4.27 per cent in February.Nationwide Building Society said that house prices fell 2.7 per cent in the year to April, and dropped for each of the seven months to March. The Office for Budget Responsibility has predicted falls of 10 per cent over the next 18 months.Analysis of more than 101,000 Help to Buy loans repaid to March 2022 found that 12,434 — or one in eight — of those properties had lost value. The data from Homes England was obtained under a freedom of information request.About a hundred of these fell by more than 50 per cent — probably due to cladding problems, which particularly affect newer homes. One property bought for £297,500 with a 40 per cent Help to Buy loan was eventually valued at £67,735 — a 77 per cent price fall.The estate agency Hamptons said that 68 per cent of Help to Buy loans used to buy London properties since 2016 were repaid when the homes were worth less.For one property developer the turmoil is an opportunity. Kundan Bhaduri from the Kushman Group bought three Help to Buy properties in the first three months of this year from people who borrowed too much and cannot afford to stay in their homes — and plans to buy more.They will either be turned in to buy-to-lets or holiday lets. Bhaduri said: “We have been approached by a number of people who bought their homes on the Help to Buy scheme over the last few years and are now struggling to keep up with the payments.”The Home Builders Federation, a trade association, said: “Help to Buy has been the most successful government home ownership intervention in history, delivering on all its objectives. It has helped more than a third of a million first-time buyers get an energy-efficient new-build home, supported a doubling in housing supply and contributed to the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs.”The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: “Independent analysis, including from the NAO, has found no evidence that Help to Buy has had a significant impact on house prices. Most customers see their home increase in value over the duration of their loan and, where this isn’t the case, the government shares in the downside of market fluctuations, meaning owners pay back less than they borrowed.”
