Originations linkfest: must-read mortgage and housing stories from past few days…

– CFPB’s new Mortgage Fee Disclosures (View Forms | NYT story | My Open Letter To CFPB)

– Low Housing Inventory Is NOT A Sign of Recovery (Housing analyst Jonathan Miller)

– When Foreclosures Fall, Bottom Falls Out Of Housing (CNBC’s Diana Olick)

– Analyst Bill McBride reacts to Diana Olick’s story (CalculatedRisk)

– REPORT: How Mortgage Debt Is Holding Back Housing Recovery (Mike Konczal, Rortybomb)

– California Playing With Mortgage Fire: (TheStreet’s Philip van Doorn) – here’s a taste:
