Hawaii Real Estate Likely to be Hit Hard by Foreclosures

2 million foreclosures expected by 2009

Nationwide, 2 million foreclosures are expected by 2009, and Hawaii real estate is expected to get at least its fair share. With real estate prices already dropping on Oahu’s western side, now is the time for many to start thinking about what they will do when their mortgages reset and monthly payments go higher. John Riggins points this out about Hawaii real estate and foreclosures:

[T]hose on fixed incomes with increasing ARM payments and upside
down have few choices.

Among those choices are (1) Credit Counseling; (2) Based upon their income and bills request the lender adjust the monthly payment down in order for them to afford the payment; (3) Request the lender lower the mortgage balance and pay the costs of the sale of the property which is better known as a short sale; and/or (4) File for bankruptcy.
