California State Senate Bill 1137 Fails to Reduce Foreclosures

Back in July of 2008... the Terminator signed a bill that imposed new requirements on lenders before they can foreclose on the property. Of course "they" had good intentions but... the numbers are out and it is mind boggling.

November Notice of Defaults: 21,557

December Notice of Defaults: 42,421

**DOUBLED IN ONE MONTH!!!**

Notice of Trustee Sale (when it get's auctioned) has been flat BUT after 90 days the lenders can file the NTS and this will explode. 437,955 Notice of Default filled in 2008, an increase of 56% over the 279,821 Notices of Default filed in 2007. Is it going to double again in 2009? Scary...

Moratoriums and modifications are not the answer, especially with rising unemployment.

The systemic problem is that there are too many homes for sale and not enough demand for them, until this is brought back into balance, none of these other things will have much of an impact.

To increase demand is only 2 possible way.... drop the price or give some type of incentive.  I'm really going to dig into the tax reform that you mentioned.  Thanks for the comment.
