December 23, 2010   Daniel Murphy   No comments

**Today’s guest post is contributed by LearnVest **.

It’s a natural impulse to compare ourselves to others (Is her computer faster? Does her salad have more croutons? Does she, uh, make more money than we do?) Over and over, readers will ask not just, “How am I doing?” but, “How am I doing compared to everyone else?” They want to know if they have more or less money saved up than other people their age, how their spending habits compare, and whether they are bigger spenders or savers than other people.

Fully privatizing the secondary mortgage market might not protect taxpayers from having to once again underwrite major losses in the mortgage market, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has warned.

In a new analysis of the role of the federal government in the mortgage market, the CBO determined that eliminating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac might not get rid of the major problems commonly associated with the two government supported enterprises (GSEs).

Despite plunging property values and waves of foreclosures, the housing crisis has discouraged few people from wanting to own a home, according to a recent study by Fannie Mae.

Fully half of those surveyed – 51 percent – said the housing crisis had little or no impact on their intentions to buy a home for their next residence. Of those who said it did have an effect, the number who said it made them more inclined to buy a home exceeded those who said it made them more likely to rent, 27 percent to 19 percent.   Even among homeowners in negative equity, those whose mortgage exceeds what their home is worth due to declining property values, there was a strong preference for home ownership.
