However, for prime loans one would have also had to anticipate that defaults would become much more sensitive to home prices. Tables and graphs.

Borrowers with CM experience substantially higher ex post default rates than borrowers with traditional mortgages with similar characteristics. Illus. This is a print on demand report.
