More of the Same! Inland Empire Market Watch June 2008

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Empire Realty

I am still unable to get MLS statistics for the Inland Valley Board of Realtors they have not updated their data since December 2007.  As soon as this data is available I will analyze and report on it. 

We continue riding along a low point in the market, only time will tell if this condition continues in the Inland Empire of California.  This comment is made from  my observations from the street and in tracking foreclosure and individual city activity, watch out though as SB 1137 may change the numbers in the short term.

Statistics and Analysis

Inland Valley Board of Realtors data is presently not available.

Some stats from Foreclosureradar.com about Notice of Defaults (NOD's), Notice of Sales (NOS's) and Foreclosures in San Bernardino County.  NOD's and NOS's continue to be running at very high levels.  NOD's are have increased 4.3% from last month and up 110.1% from last year.  NOS's are up 2.7% from last month and up 233.8% from last year.  The real tell of the condition of the foreclosures is the percentage of NOS's that are canceling, presently we are at 11%, during stable or appreciating markets it is as high as 60%.

                               Notice of Defaults                   Notice of Sale          Cancellation of Sale

January 07                      4,033                            1,981                               315

February 08                     3,496                            1,352                               225

March 08                         4,035                            2,615                               246

April 08                           4,150                            2,982                               318

May 08                            4,106                            3,365                               292

June  08                          4,281                            3,451                               391

 Overall, my opinion is that this market will continue to slide downward for some time.  Between September and February of 2009 we will really see a blood bath.  SB 1137 may have an impact on the numbers in the short term but since it did not provide any real help to the homeowners it will just delay the inevitable.
