California Foreclosures - Continuing
ForeclosureRadar.com just reported foreclosures in California increased 22.24% from September to October. Last month’s foreclosures increased 20.95% from October 2008, which were 42.56% below California’s peak month of July 2008. However since then, the inventory of real estate owned (REO) properties has grown 131.36% in California. “While we continue to see a steady stream of properties entering foreclosure, relatively few are completing the process and being sold at auction despite the increase this month,” said Foreclosureradar.com CEO Sean O’Toole. “The bigger picture is that more and more homeowners are finding themselves upside down in foreclosure limbo,” O’Toole added, “some hoping for a loan modification or short sale, while others are just waiting for a knock on the door.” The number of foreclosures initiated in October remained level with September levels but this is due in large part to recent legislation enacted in California that will temporarily slow the foreclosure process. The majority of properties foreclosed on in October were originally purchased with mortgages originated between January 2005 and December 2007.

Hello Michael, Yes, California and a few others still have more pain ahead. Should present opportunities for Short Sales, some pre-foreclosure, and REO's. Personally I would wait awhile on buy and holds in Cal.

Hello Jim, Can you explain what the changes are in state law and how it will affect Short Sales? Tthanks,

With the proposed new CA law that may make short sales even harder to properly do without breaking the law, those REO properties should grow by greater numbers now unless Fannie may follows through and becomes the biggest landord of all.
