foreclosure: California Home Sales at Foreclosure Auctions Are Down - 04/14/09 10:37 AM
With negative California economy news, we are not surprised to learn that home foreclosure notices were up during March.
According to ForeclosureRadar monthly California Foreclosure Report for March 2009, Notices of Default, the first step in the home foreclosure process, reached a record level and higher than the prior peak in April 2008.
However, while California foreclosure notices were up, home sales at auction decreased to the lowest levels since the third quarter of 2007.
Sounds like improving news to me.  Is this decrease of auction sales a trend?  We will see how this develops.
Is this California decrease of home sales at auction because of US government recent involvement in the home foreclosure … (9 comments)

foreclosure: Banks & Lenders Are Taking Less Than What's Owed At Trustee Sales After Foreclosure - 05/14/08 01:23 PM
It's interesting that in Orange County, California, during April, 2008, buyers took foreclosure homes off the bank and lender hands at trustee sales for 21.5% less than the amount owed. One year ago during April, 2007, the banks and lenders weren't so interested in discounting at trustee sales. Perhaps the banks are getting smart.It was reported that 84 percent of properties sold at the OC, California, at trustee's sales during April, 2008, were offered at a discount.Posted by Harrison K.

foreclosure: What To Do If You Are Upside Down and Unable to Make Payment on Notes Secured by First and Second Deeds of Trust on Your Home - 05/07/08 06:04 PM
You might owe more on your notes secured by a first deed of trust and on the note secured by the second on your home.
What do you do?
Here in California we have the ONE ACTION RULE, the law preventing lenders from both foreclosing and suing you on the note.  If the lender chooses the non-judicial foreclosure process, he is then prevented from suing you on the note itself. However, if the lender fails or declines to foreclose on the note, he retains the right to file and prosecute a civil lawsuit and get monetary judgment against you.
This could happen to you.  It is more common these … (1 comments)

foreclosure: Is A Home Buyer Equity Sharing Arrangement a Good Thing in This Market? -- Part One - 05/03/08 09:02 AM
A man contacted us a week ago about his predicament. He and his wife had entered into an EQUITY SHARING AGREEMENT with a mortgage broker during 2006 to buy a home in South OC, California. This family made payments to the mortgage company as rent on the agreement. The mortgage company in turn made some payments to the lender on the note. The mortgage company went out of business six months ago and is not now making payments. This family could be facing foreclosure and evication? Was this EQUITY SHARING ARRANGEMENT a good thing?

foreclosure: What Should You Consider When Thinking About Foreclosure Buyer Opportunities? - 03/28/08 04:22 AM
What Should You Consider When Thinking About Foreclosure Buyer Opportunities?Buyers must be pre-approved for a loan by a lender. Source of Down Payment Must be confirmed.The bank could require that you finance your purchase with them. Expect competition for your offer. Some buyers bid on multiple properties. Banks won't accept offers that are contingent on selling your home. The best deals generally are those properties with the longest time on the market. Bank-owned homes typically sell at less than their listing price. Get your own buyer inspection of the property.Consider the cost of repairs or damaged or missing appliances when bidding.The bank will make a counter-offer to your first … (1 comments)
