THE GREAT RECESSION, EXPLAINED 2008-09 $10.20 2009-10 $6.70 2010-11 $7.40

subprime mortgage market collapse. There were too many defaults on high- risk housing loans — which later led to a serious credit crunch that affected the global banking system and made bank loans nearly impossible to obtain. During the height of the housing bubble,

mortgage lenders approved as many home loans as they could, regardless of creditworthiness. Nearly 80% of those loans were adjustable-rate mortgages where the borrower couldn’t afford the payments once the introductory rate went away. Some subprime borrowers had poor credit histories and questionable streams of income. The loan verification process was so absent at the time that mortgage lenders issued "NINJA loans,” which stands for "no income, no job and no assets." The explosion in loans caused a higher demand for houses, which oversaturated the market. When those risky loans defaulted, home values tanked in Maricopa and the rest of the nation. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, a 10-person committee formed by Congress in 2009 to investigate the financial crisis, said the causes included, "an explosion in risky subprime lending and securitization, an unsustainable rise in housing prices, widespread reports of egregious and predatory lending practices, dramatic increases in household mortgage debt, and exponential growth in financial firms' trading activities, unregulated derivatives and short-term‘ repo’ lending markets, among many other red flags."
