Homeowner equity keeps growing across U.S. In third quarter despite housing market slowdown ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report, which shows that 48.5 percent of mortgaged residential properties in the United States were considered equityrich in the third quarter, meaning that the combined estimated amount of loan balances secured by those properties was no more than 50 percent of their estimated market values. The portion of mortgaged homes that were equity-rich in the third quarter of 2022 increased from 48.1 percent in the second quarter of 2022 and from 39.5 percent in the third quarter of 2021. The latest increase fell below other gains in recent years. But it still marked the 10th straight quarterly rise, and resulted in virtually half of all mortgage payers landing in equity-rich territory. The report found that at least half of all mortgagepayers in 20 states were equity-rich in the third quarter, compared to only seven states a year earlier. “Even though home price appreciation has slowed down dramatically in recent months, homeowners have continued to build equity,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at

ATTOM. “And it appears that many of those homeowners have decided to stay where they are rather than purchase a new home, and are beginning to tap into that equity, as the number of home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) issued in the second quarter of 2022 rose by 43 percent from the prior year.” The report also shows that just 2.9 percent of mortgaged homes, or one in 35, were considered seriously underwater in the third quarter of 2022, with a combined estimated balance of loans secured by the property of at least 25 percent more than the property’s estimated market value. The latest seriously underwater figure was the same as the 2.9 percent recorded in the prior quarter, but down from 3.4 percent, or one in 29 properties, in the third quarter of 2021. Overall, 94.3 homeowners paying off mortgages had at least some equity built up in the third quarter of this year, compared to 92.9 percent a year earlier and 87.7 percent in the third quarter of 2020. That level rises further when accounting for homeowners who have paid off their mortgages. Across the country, 39 states saw

equity-rich levels increase from the second quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2022, while seriously underwater percentages dipped in 38 states. Year over year, equity-rich levels rose in all 50 states and seriously underwater portions dropped in 43 states. The ongoing, but relatively small, improvement in home equity during the third quarter of 2022 came as the U.S. housing market cooled considerably amid multiple forces that threaten to stifle or reverse an 11-year run of nearly uninterrupted price spikes and equity gains. Largest increases in equity-rich share of mortgages spread across Midwest, Northeast and South Nine of the 10 states where the equityrich share of mortgaged homes increased most from the second quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest, Northeast and South regions of the U.S. The biggest increases were in South Dakota, where the portion of mortgaged homes considered equity-

$1.5M capital investment comes to renovate Willow Grove Willow Grove, a Holiday by Atria independent living community in Matthews, has kicked off a new $1.5 million renovation project for capital upgrades in design and amenities. The upgrades are designed to transform the community’s appearance and function, all geared toward fostering the social connections that help older adults live life to the fullest. The upgrades are expected to be completed by early 2023. When originally built, the layout for Holiday Willow Grove focused on community spaces to offer residents an enriching and engaging social life. Improvements for these social spaces are the focus of this renovation as even more older adults are seeking an active lifestyle during retirement. The needs of seniors are ever changing, and the current generation of older adults is more active than ever. With these new spaces, residents will have more reasons to gather and enjoy the many benefits of a social community to their physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing. The largest refreshed space will create an expanded fitness room, to meet the needs of seniors working to maintain a more active lifestyle as they age. Other key improvements include a new pub area with game room, a living room with library, a revitalized atrium, enhanced dining spaces, improved functionality and A/V capabilities in all common areas, exterior enhancements, and energy-efficient lighting. “For us, this will feel like an ‘extreme makeover’ to create new and enhanced ways for our residents to stay active, build new friendships and enjoy what

Construction input costs jump 12.6 percent year-over-year despite dip in september as most materials post double-digit increases over 12 months The price of materials and services used in nonresidential construction jumped 12.6 percent in September from a year earlier despite a dip of 0.2 percent last month, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of government data released today. Association officials note that the construction industry was suffering the most from inflation, adding that new Buy America rules set to go into effect as soon as next month will only make the situation more dire. “Today’s price report shows that costs for construction continue to outpace those of other industries,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Furthermore, the steep runup in diesel prices in the last few weeks is likely to make projects still more expensive to complete.” The producer price index for inputs to nonresidential construction—the prices charged by goods producers and service providers such as distributors and transportation firms—decreased 0.2 percent from August to September but nevertheless rose 12.6 percent since September 2021. That outpaced the 8.5 percent year-over-year rise in the overall producer price index for finished goods, the economist noted. Retail diesel fuel prices soared by 39 cents per gallon in the past week, bringing the year-over-year increase to $1.64 or 45.7 percent, Simonson added. He said construction is especially sensitive to diesel costs, because most projects require thousands of truckloads to deliver equipment and materials and to move or haul away dirt, debris, and equipment at the end of project. Prices of several widely used goods

EQUITY FROM PAGE 1 rich rose from 36.7 percent in the second quarter to 41.8 percent in the third quarter, Vermont (up from 71.4 percent to 75.9 percent), Montana (up from 48.1 percent to 51.5 percent), Indiana (up from 43 percent to 46.2 percent) and Mississippi (up from 29.1 percent to 31.5 percent). The top five states where the equityrich share of mortgaged homes decreased the most from the second quarter to the third quarter of this year were all in the West, led by Idaho (down from 69.5 percent to 65.8 percent), California (down from 63.1 percent to 60.6 percent), Utah (down from 64.3 percent to 62 percent), Washington (down from 63.2 percent to 61 percent) and Arizona (down from 64.8 percent to 63.4 percent). Largest declines in seriously underwater properties located across Midwest, Northeast and West The top 10 states with the biggest decreases in the percentage of mortgaged homes considered seriously underwater from the second quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2022 were spread across the Midwest, Northeast and West. They were led by Wyoming (share of mortgaged homes seriously underwater down from 7 percent to 2.9 percent), Montana (down from 3.9 percent to 3 percent), Kansas (down from 5.7 percent to 4.9 percent),

posted double-digit increases over the past 12 months. The producer price index for diesel fuel leaped by 65.9 percent including 11.7 percent in September. The index for liquid asphalt, used in paving projects, jumped 43.3 percent despite an 11.8 percent decline last month. The index for paint and other architectural coatings rose 27.2 percent over 12 months. There were also unusually large year-over-year increases in the price indexes for gypsum products such as wallboard, 18.4 percent; plastic construction products, 17.9 percent; truck transportation of freight, 16.3

percent; asphalt and tar roofing materials, 15.3 percent; concrete products, 14.3 percent; insulation products, 13.4 percent; and flat glass, 10.3 percent. Association officials urged the Biden Administration to reconsider plans to implement a series of new Buy America requirements associated with a host of federal infrastructure investments. They noted a recent survey of member firms showed most contractors will struggle to find materials under the new Buy America guidelines. With materials hard to find and prices continuing to spike, artificially

limiting the supply of goods will only undermine the buying power of those new federal infrastructure investments, they cautioned. “It stands to reason that further limiting the supply of already scarce materials will lead to even more inflation in the cost of those materials,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Imposing new Buy America requirements at a time like this will undermine the potential benefits of new federal infrastructure investments.” Staff report

Indiana (down from 3.8 percent to 3.1 percent) and Connecticut (down from 3.3 percent to 2.8 percent). States where the percentage of seriously underwater homes increased the most from the second quarter to the third quarter of this year were concentrated in the West. While most of the increases were minimal, the largest were in Mississippi (up from 8.1 percent to 9 percent), California (up from 1 percent to 1.4 percent), Idaho (up from 1.6 percent to 1.9 percent), Hawaii (up from 1.3 percent to 1.5 percent) and Washington (up from 1 percent to 1.2 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas around the nation with a population greater than 500,000, both the West and South dominated the list with the highest portion of mortgaged properties that were equity-rich in the third quarter of 2022. All but one of the top 25 were in those regions, led by Austin, TX (71.6 percent equity-rich); Sarasota-Bradenton, FL (71.6 percent); San Jose, CA (70.6 percent); Fort Myers, FL (68.5 percent) and Tampa, FL (68.3 percent). The leader in the Northeast region again was Portland, ME (63 percent) while the top metro in the Midwest continued to be Grand Rapids, MI (51.9 percent). Eighteen of the 20 metro areas with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the third quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest levels were in Baton Rouge, LA (20.6 percent of mortgage homes were equity-rich); Jackson, MS (23.4 percent); Wichita, KS (26.1 percent); Little Rock, AR (27.4 percent) and Virginia Beach, VA (27.9 percent). The portion of mortgaged homes considered equity rich rose from the second quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2022 in 72 of the 107 metro areas with sufficient data (68 percent), while the level of mortgaged homes considered equity rich rose annually in 105 of the 107 (99 percent).

Top equity-rich counties located in Northeast, South and West Among 1,627 counties that had at least 2,500 homes with mortgages in the third quarter of 2022, 47 of the top 50 equityrich locations were in the Northeast, South and West. Counties with the highest share of equity-rich properties were Chittenden County (Burlington), VT (85.2 percent equity-rich); Dukes County (Martha’s Vineyard), MA (84.7 percent); Blaine County, ID (outside Boise) (84.4 percent); Portage County, WI (west of Green Bay) (84.3 percent) and Nantucket County, MA (80.2 percent). Counties with populations of at least 500,000 and the highest equity-rich rates were Travis County (Austin), TX (74.1 percent equity-rich); Pinellas County (Tampa), FL (72.6 percent); Santa Clara County (San Jose), CA (71.5 percent); San Mateo County, CA (outside San Francisco) (69.6 percent) and Williamson County, TX (outside Austin) (69.6 percent). Counties with the smallest share of equity-rich homes in the third quarter of 2022 were Geary County (Junction City), KS (7.3 percent equity rich); Vernon Parish, LA (northwest of Lafayette) (9.2 percent); Iberville Parish, LA (outside Baton Rouge) (12.9 percent); Cumberland County (Fayetteville), NC (12.9 percent)

Equity-rich homeowners still concentrated in West The highest levels of equity-rich properties around the U.S. remained in the West during the third quarter of 2022, with six of the top 10 states located in that region. The top states were Vermont (75.9 percent of mortgaged homes were equity-rich), Idaho (65.8 percent), Arizona (63.4 percent), Florida (62.8 percent) and Utah (62 percent). Nine of the 10 states with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the third quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest portions were in Louisiana (24.5 percent of mortgaged homes), Illinois (26.3 percent), Alaska (26.7 percent), West Virginia (29.3 percent) and North Dakota (30.9 percent).

Mortgage rates slow their upward trajectory

Since 2019, rents have risen the most in Miami (51.5%), Tampa (49.1%) and Phoenix (43.8%). Staff report

Consumer groups applaud federal legislation to protect workers from excessive wage seizure

Freddie Mac has released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.94 percent. “Mortgage rates slowed their upward trajectory this week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage continues to remain just shy of seven percent and is adversely impacting the housing market in the form of declining demand. Additionally, homebuilder confidence has dropped to half what it was just six months ago and construction, particularly single-family residential construction, continues to slow down.” News Facts • 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.94 percent with an average 0.9 point as of October 20, 2022, up from last week when it averaged 6.92 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.09 percent. • 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.23 percent with an average 1.1 point, up from last week when it averaged 6.09 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 2.33 percent. • 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 5.71 percent with an average 0.4 point, down from last week when it averaged 5.81 percent. A year ago at this time, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.54 percent. The PMMS® is focused on conventional, conforming, fully amortizing home purchase loans for borrowers who put 20 percent down and have excellent credit. Average commitment rates should be reported along with average fees and points to reflect the total upfront cost of obtaining the mortgage. Visit the following link for the Definitions. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey. Staff report

Home sales slow as rising mortgage rates drive up monthly payments The housing market continued to cool in September, though rebalancing from monumental appreciation is producing vastly different conditions depending on region and metro, according to Zillow®’s latest market report. Affordability issues are driving the pullback in activity; steep prices mixed with high and volatile mortgage rates have stunted sales and frozen current owners in their homes, reducing the flow of new inventory. Current homeowners are looking at home prices and the mortgage market and deciding to stay put. Among home sellers, 71% are also buyers. Homeowners

who either bought or refinanced at record-low rates over the past two years understand that current rates are going to yield a lot less home than they’re currently in unless they seek out a much more affordable area. At the national level, home values stayed roughly steady from August to September after dropping slightly in the previous two months. The typical U.S. home value is $358,283, up 12.9% from last year and nearly $110,000 (43.5%) above 2019. Of the 100 largest metros, exactly half saw home values rise from August to September. “The late-summer mortgage rate reprieve brought a short-lived surge of buyers back into the market, proving that many priced-out home shoppers are poised to buy when homeownership becomes more affordable,” said Jeff Tucker, senior economist at Zillow. “Unfortunately, shoppers this winter are more likely to contend with mortgage rates in the ballpark of 7%, making even this summer’s rising rates look modest by comparison. Still, as many rate-sensitive shoppers stay sidelined, those who forge ahead now will find more options and more eager sellers than anytime since the pandemic began.” Home values have fallen the furthest from peak levels in expensive and highgrowth metros in the Mountain states and on the West Coast; the largest drops are in Austin (-8.2%), San Francisco (-7.9%) and Salt Lake City (-6.8%). Among the 100 largest U.S. metros, the 17 with the largest home value declines from peak levels are in the West. However, owners in these areas should still have significant equity in their homes; home value appreciation since 2019 ranges from 26% in San Francisco to 65% in Austin. Sales slowed significantly in September. The number of newly pending listings fell 18% month over month and are down 29.3% compared to last year, in part because of a sharp deceleration in activity at the end of the month, when rates were highest. Sales are down more than 6% from September 2019. Mortgage rates — the largest driver of monthly payments — rose through September and are so volatile, they are hurting buyers’ ability to plan for the future.

The flow of new for-sale listings to the market remained anemic; an 11.4% drop from August was the third straight month of double-digit declines. Although the flow of new listings typically slows down at this time of year, the decline from this year’s spring peak is larger than in 2019. But even as demand has fallen off, tight supply could insulate the market from a significant price correction. Total inventory is now 3% above levels a year ago, but remains 38% below that of 2019. Considering the drastic decline in new additions to the market, the rise in total inventory is due to listings staying on the market longer. Listings’ median time on the market rose from August and now stands at 19 days. That’s a more leisurely pace than last year’s 11 days on market, but much faster than in September 2019, when listings typically waited a month before the seller accepted an offer. Buyers still in the market are seeing far less competitive conditions than in months past, giving them more time to decide on a home, less chance of a bidding war and greater leverage in negotiations. Now at 27.5% nationwide, the share of listings with a price cut is also rising — up from 18.3% in 2021 and September 2019’s rate of 22.3%. Among the top100 largest metro areas, those with the largest share of price cuts are Boise (47.8%), Phoenix (45%), Ogden, Utah (44.4%), and Salt Lake City (43.9%). Although rent growth is moderating, rapid increases throughout the pandemic have drastically reduced rental affordability. Zillow’s rent index pegs typical U.S. rent at $2,084, with 10.8% annual growth in September, down from a record-breaking peak of 17.2% in February. Month-over-month growth has declined to a more normal rate of 0.3% — far from the peak of 2.2% seen in July 2021. But the share of renters’ income that goes toward housing has marched up, from 29% in September 2019 to 35% now. When housing costs require more than 30% of a household’s income, it becomes a financial burden, leaving less to spend on other essentials, like groceries. And a typical renter spending more than 32% of their income on rent has been tied to a more rapid increase in homelessness.

The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) and National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) today expressed support for the Protecting Wages of Essential Workers Act of 2022 (Protecting Wages Act). The bill will ensure that working Americans who hold consumer debt are not hit with excessive wage seizures that leave them unable to afford necessities. The legislation also prohibits debt collectors from using threats of jail to coerce payment of a debt. The Protecting Wages Act (H.R.9224), introduced this week by Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC), is designed to better protect families coping with the combination of historic inflation, high gas prices and record rent increases from falling into poverty due to wage seizure. The legislation would protect $1,000 or 75 percent, whichever is greater, of disposable earnings per week from seizure, instead of the current $217.50, which is tied to a stagnant federal minimum wage. The bill also would expand protections for employees subject to multiple garnishment orders by ensuring that they can’t be fired if there is more than one order in place. The protected wages would be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. “Systematic racism continues to play a role in perpetuating cycles of poverty in communities of color,” said Lucia Mattox, director of western states outreach and senior policy associate at CRL. “People of color are more likely to be contacted by debt collectors and to be impacted by lawsuits resulting in wage garnishment. Until we modernize federal law to improve protections for consumers, the racial wealth gap will continue to deepen, and Americans will continue struggling to pay for necessities like food, rent and childcare.” “Debt collectors should not be allowed to push working people into poverty or grab the funds people need for necessities to support their families,” said Michael Best, staff attorney at NCLC. “Debt collectors also can’t be allowed to take us back to the days of debtors’ prisons.” In addition to protecting consumers, the Protecting Wages Act would support employers and small businesses by alleviating the burden of administering wage garnishment orders and by ensuring that more of the wages that employers pay actually reach the frontline workers that businesses are trying to attract and retain.

ENNICO: Are you giving advice, guidance, feedback or something else? As a columnist, expert and blogger on legal and tax issues affecting small businesses and entrepreneurial companies, you can bet your bottom dollar I get a ton of emails, phone calls and text messages asking me for my opinion on various matters -- just about every day. Whenever I receive a question -either from a reader’s email or from the audience at one of my live events throughout the country -- that I think will be a worthy subject for this column, I write about it. Most of the time, however, I can’t respond to someone’s message because: -- The question was answered in a previous column. -- The question isn’t of enough general interest to write about. -- The question is so fact-specific that it would take up the entire column just to describe the reader’s problem, with no room for the answer. One message, though, always gives me the heebie-jeebies: a message from someone requesting actual legal, tax or financial advice. If you question that the internet has changed our lives forever, consider this: Twenty years ago, people paid professionals such as lawyers, accountants and investment advisers for advice. The idea of someone walking into a lawyer’s office and demanding he or she give free advice on a complicated legal or tax matter was absurd. No one even thought of such a thing. Anyone who tried it was promptly shown the door or given an introduction to the local police. Enter the internet, the billions of pages of information available there and the people without law, accounting or financial degrees who are routinely dispensing free advice on all sorts of matters they are simply not competent to talk about. Now, please don’t get me wrong: I’m all for free speech, on the internet and everywhere else. And there’s no law saying you can’t express your opinion on something -- especially political or social matters -- even though you have a third-grade education and have difficulty reciting the letters of the alphabet without a smartphone prompt. (Don’t laugh -- I’m sure there are people out there who think the first five letters of the English alphabet are Q, W, E, R and T.) But the easy availability of free information on the internet is leading millions of people to the wrongheaded idea that advice from professionals should also be free. There is a big difference, legally and otherwise, between giving out information (“Here’s what the law says about X”) and giving out advice (“Here’s what you should do in thus-and-such a situation”). The former can be given out by just about anybody, as long as they take care to make sure what they are saying is accurate. The latter requires knowledge, experience, judgment and familiarity with the specific client and his or her situation.

No lawyer, accountant or professional can give advice blindly to someone they don’t know. No two situations are exactly alike, and it takes time to familiarize yourself with the facts of a particular client’s situation, personality (What is his or her tolerance for risk? How combative will he or she be in defending his or her interests?), and other factors that are part of the “calculus” involved in telling a client what to do. If the matter is particularly tricky, some research of the law may be necessary. This is why lawyers and accountants charge for giving advice, and it’s entirely justified. If someone emails me asking for advice on a particular problem, and I don’t already have a lawyer-client relationship with that person, I will usually send a response message that will look something like this: “Hi, (insert name) -Thanks for your email message. This is an interesting topic, and I may address it in a future ‘Succeeding in Your Business’ column. This is a column of general marketing, financial, legal and tax information for small-business owners and entrepreneurs. It is no substitute for advice you would get from a local attorney, accountant, consultant or tax adviser. Should you need specific, oneon-one advice on how to effectively run your business, please consult with a local attorney, accountant, consultant or tax adviser. It will be well worth the money you pay these folks.

Thanks for supporting ‘Succeeding in Your Business,’ and good luck with your business!” Also, if a professional gives someone advice that turns out to be wrong, he or she is liable to be sued for malpractice. Nothing -- I mean nothing -- is dumber than getting sued for bad advice you didn’t get paid for. So if it’s just general information you want, please send me a message and I’ll be only too happy to do a column on your problem if I think it’s of interest to my readers.

NOVAK: Onboarding: Sink or swim The first weeks of onboarding can set the stage for a new hire to either fall in love with the job and the company or wish he or she had rejected the offer. Onboarding is the introductory period for new hires, ranging from one day to one month in a well-prepared company. This is when new hires are fully introduced to the company and the role -- or thrown into the pool and told to sink or swim. According to Jean Juchnowicz, human resources consultant, interim leader, career coach and founder of Human Resources Simplified in Sarasota, Florida, onboarding is critical in helping new hires smoothly and successfully ease into the job, the company and the environment. This is the opportunity for HR professionals to show their warmth, poise and professionalism in introducing new employees to co-workers and key people, as well as the company’s policies, procedures, technology and culture. It’s a chance to show the new hires all they need to know to feel confident about their new job. This may also be where new hires learn that not all company cultures are open and friendly, despite all the smiling that took place in the interviews. During a good first day of onboarding, new employees should be shown their office or work area, have the technology and equipment set up (if onsite), be given a tour of the operation (physical or virtual), and meet their co-workers and bosses. The HR professional should explain the organization’s culture and encourage questions. A well-prepared and organized HR professional may have a “welcome checklist” to ensure everything is covered. After signing all the legal and company-required documents, employment and confidentiality agreements, and payroll and benefits information, the representative should also review the company’s mission,

vision and values statements. Explaining the company culture is important for quickly integrating the new hire into the company and for knowing how to address people, who to report to and who to never ask for anything. With properly onboarding, HR will introduce the new hire to his or her team members and co-workers and will send an official email welcoming the person so employees won’t wonder who the stranger is hanging around the offices. (Yes, this has happened to people.) New hires should be given time to settle into the work area and see all the necessary locations, such as kitchens, copiers, bathrooms and even closets where personal items can be stored.

This sounds basic, but some new hires are introduced to immediate co-workers, shown their work area and left to fend for themselves in finding out all they need to feel comfortable and competent in the job. Some companies have created a buddy system, a willing mentor assigned to the new hire so he or she always has a contact to ask for help when questions arise. The mentor may also serve as a resource for companyrelated information or interpersonal issues, since no company is filled exclusively with easygoing, cooperative personalities. A great HR representative should welcome questions along the way, but there is only so much HR can divulge,

and the new hire would not want to hear discouraging stories before even starting the real work. As an interim HR director who has traveled all around the U.S. when an HR director leaves a position, Juchnowicz has walked into companies where disorder has reigned for many months, the staff is at war with one another or the company simply needs third-party organization. Whatever the reason for an interim HR director, Jean Juchnowicz has earned multiple degree certifications guaranteeing her excellence in the field of human resources.

Counties with populations of at least 500,000 and the smallest equity-rich portions were Lake County, IL (outside Chicago) (25.4 percent equity-rich); Cook County (Chicago), IL (26.6 percent); Sedgwick County (Wichita), KS (27.1 percent equity-rich); Baltimore County, MD (27.3 percent) and Kane County, IL (outside Chicago (27.4 percent).

South and Midwest still with largest shares of seriously underwater properties The top 10 states with the highest shares of mortgages that were seriously underwater in the third quarter of 2022 were in the South and Midwest. The top five were Louisiana (10.8 percent seriously underwater), Mississippi (9 percent), Iowa (6.5 percent), Illinois (6.2 percent) and Kentucky (6 percent). The smallest shares were in Vermont (0.9 percent seriously underwater), Rhode Island (1.1 percent), Florida (1.2 percent), Washington (1.2 percent) and New Hampshire (1.2 percent). Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 500,000, those with the largest shares of mortgages that were seriously underwater in the third quarter of 2022 were Baton Rouge, LA (10.7 percent); Jackson, MS (8.9 percent); New Orleans, LA (7.8 percent); Syracuse, NY (6.3 percent) and Scranton, PA (6.2 percent).

percent of the 58.1 million outstanding mortgages in the U.S. Of those facing foreclosure, about 208,700, or 92 percent, had at least some equity built up in their homes. “One of the reasons we don’t believe there will be another huge wave of foreclosures is that the overwhelming majority of financially-distressed homeowners do have positive equity,” Sharga noted. “If these borrowers can’t leverage the equity to refinance their current mortgage, they at least have the option of selling the property rather than losing their equity to a foreclosure auction. This option wasn’t available to distressed borrowers during the Great Recession, when many borrowers were underwater on their loans.” States where the largest portion of homeowners facing possible foreclose had equity in their properties in the third quarter of 2022 included Utah (98 percent with equity), Washington (97 percent), Colorado (97 percent), Nevada (97 percent) and Arizona (97 percent). States with the lowest percentages included Mississippi (75 percent with equity), Louisiana (80 percent), Illinois (85 percent), Maryland (85 percent) and Missouri (87 percent). Staff report

Thirty-two of the top 50 were in Florida and Texas, with six of the top 10 in Dukes County, MA, and Collier County, TX.

Stocks move lower on Wall Street ahead of Fed news on rates BY DAMIAN J. TROISE AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell on Wall Street, ahead of what traders expect will be another big interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve. The Fed is due to wrap up a two-day policy meeting later Wednesday that’s expected to produce the sixth interest rate increase of the year as the central bank fights the worst inflation in four decades. Markets will be watching closely to see what Fed Chair Jerome Powell says about the central bank’s outlook for how long rates will need to stay high to fight inflation. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% in late morning trading on Monday. NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell in late morning trading on Wall Street Wednesday, ahead of what traders expect will be another big interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve. Markets will be watching closely to see what Fed Chair Jerome Powell says about the central bank’s outlook for how long rates will need to stay high to fight inflation.

The S&P 500 fell 0.5% as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 46 points, or 0.1%, to 32,608 and the Nasdaq fell 1%. Small company stocks lost more ground than the broader market. The Russell 2000 fell 1.3%. The Fed is due to wrap up a two-day policy meeting later Wednesday that’s expected to produce the sixth interest rate increase of the year. The widespread expectation is for the Fed to push through another increase that’s triple the usual size, or three-quarters of a percentage point. Investors will be listening closely to Powell’s comments as they try to determine what the central bank’s next move will be at its final meeting of the year in December. Opinions are currently split among investors as to whether the Fed will make another three-quarters point move or dial back to a half-point increase. The path ahead for the Fed is closely tied to whether inflation cools from its hottest levels in four decades. Wall Street is concerned about inflation squeezing consumers and businesses while worries grow that the Fed could bring on a recession

by slowing the economy too much. “At the end of the day, the markets like certainty and they don’t have certainty from the Fed,” said Ryan Grabinski, managing director of investment strategy at Strategas, a Baird company. Powell has warned that the central bank’s fight against inflation would likely come with “some pain.” Wall Street has been closely watching the latest economic data, which is heavy on the employment market this week. It has remained strong despite inflation, which is being taken as a sign that the Fed will have to remain aggressive in its fight against high prices. The latest jobs data from private payroll company ADP shows that companies added positions at a greater pace than expected in October. The report follows hotterthan-expected data from the government Tuesday on job openings. “It’s sort of confirming that the Fed still has more work to do,” Grabinski said. Investors will get more employment data with the government’s weekly unemployment report on Thursday and a broader monthly jobs report on Friday.

They have been closely watching the latest round of company earnings to get a better sense of inflation’s impact on corporate profits and outlooks. It’s been a mixed bag so far. Drugstore operator CVS rose 4.6% after raising its profit forecast following a strong third quarter. Casino operator Caesars Entertainment rose 5.8% after beating Wall Street’s third-quarter profit and revenue forecasts. Short-term vacation rental marketplace Airbnb slipped 10.2% after warning investors that bookings growth will slow in the fourth quarter. Beauty products maker Estee Lauder fell 7.3% after slashing its profit forecast as COVID-19 lockdowns in China and inflation hurt business. Bond yields remained near multiyear highs. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.04% from 4.05% late Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury fell to 4.54% from 4.55% from late Tuesday. Markets in Asia were mostly higher and markets in Europe were mostly lower. ___ Yuri Kageyama and Matt Ott contributed to this report.

NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE WHEREAS, on 6/4/2008, a certain Deed of Trust (“Mortgage”) was executed by LOUISE POTTS, “Mortgagor(s)” in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, NA, “Mortgagee” with PRLAP, INC. , “Trustee” and was recorded on 6/9/2008, in Book 23842 , Page 390 in the Official Land Records of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; and WHEREAS, the Mortgage was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS, the Mortgage is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment dated 12/7/2012 and recorded on 5/30/2013, in Book 28381 , Page 673 in the Official Records of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; and WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Mortgage in that a Borrower has died and the Prop­ erty is not the principal residence of at least one surviving borrower, and the outstanding balance remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made sufficient to restore the loan to currency; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of 3/7/2019, is $116,558.53; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mort­ gage to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 9/7/2022 in Book 37626 , Page 821 , notice is hereby given that on 11/22/2022 at 10am, local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Being all of Lot 36 of Hidden Valley Addition #2 as same is shown on map thereof recorded in Map Book 9 at Page 31 in the Office of the Register of Deeds for Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Commonly known as: 4814 HIDDEN VALLEY ROAD, CHAR‑ LOTTE, NC 28213 Parcel ID number: 08904737 The sale will be held on the steps of the main entrance to the Mecklenburg County Courthouse located at 832 E 4th St, Charlotte, NC 28202. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $139,975.67. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $13,998.00 , 10% of total bid, in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $13,998.00 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15­day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commis­ sioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commis­ sioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the prop­ erty to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mort­ gagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $116,558.53 as of 3/7/2019, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Fore closure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out­of­pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording docu­ ments, a commission for the Fore­ closure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to rein­ statement. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
