As the housing market continues to decline, many are choosing to forego their holiday loans, opting instead to save their money. Concerns on holiday loans are widespread and for many it is simply easier to stay home and not add any extra debt. This problem is compounded by the fact that many banks just aren’t offering holiday loans at this time, and if they do, the rates are sky high. Experts advise waiting out the housing storm and using this time to put money aside to pay down debts and any past holiday loans that may still have a balance.
Sky’s Business editor Michael Wilson said: “These concerns aren’t new ones but the stories over the weekend have just added to the confusion about what the US authorities feel about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
“That uncertainty makes investors very jittery because if the mortgage finance companies were to be nationalised their shares will be worthless.”
“The lack of mortgage finance is central to the problem,” Miles Shipside, commercial director of Rightmove, said in the statement. “London, in particular, appears to be having its own special summer sale, with over 21,000 pounds off in a month.”
