“Overall, Fitch’s expected losses for recent-vintage Option ARMs range between approximately 35%-45%, depending on the collateral quality of the underlying mortgage loans. In addition to expectations of higher defaults, severities have also contributed to higher expected lifetime losses. Fitch has observed that loss severities on Option ARMs have increased significantly to an average of approximately 60% from 40% a year ago. A key driver in the worsening severities is the fact that 75% percent of Option ARM loans are secured by properties located in California, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona, which have experienced average declines of 48% from second quarter-2006 to date. Even without further declines in home values, defaults on Option ARM loans are expected to soar as loan recasts occur, as these borrowers are unable to effectively refinance into alternative mortgage product.”
