From DQNews.com:
La Jolla, CA.--Lenders sent California homeowners the highest number of mortgage default notices in over a decade last quarter, the result of flat or falling prices, anemic sales and a market struggling with the excesses of the 2004-2005 home buying frenzy, a real estate information service reported.
Lenders filed 53,943 Notices of Default (NoDs) during the April-through-June period. That was up 15.4 percent from 46,760 for the previous quarter, and up 158.0 percent from 20,909 for second-quarter 2006, according to DataQuick Information Systems of La Jolla.
Last quarter's default level was the highest since 54,045 NoDs were recorded statewide in fourth-quarter 1996. Defaults peaked in first-quarter 1996 at 61,541. A low of 12,417 was reached in third-quarter 2004. An average of 34,172 NoDs have been filed quarterly since 1992, when DataQuick?s NoD statistics begin.
Trustees Deeds recorded, or the actual loss of a home to foreclosure, totaled 17,408 during the second quarter. That is the highest number in DataQuick?s statistics, which go back to 1988. That was up 57.8 percent from 11,032 for the previous quarter, and up 799.2 percent from 1,936 for last year?s second quarter. The prior peak of foreclosure sales was 15,418 in third-quarter 1996, the low was 637 in the second quarter of 2005.

These foreclosures are a second market all to their own. Its a crazy time all over this valley. The vast majority of the few sales in the last 6 months have been out of towners or ESL speakers. I've seen many empty developments recently with only 1 street finished, homes that sold for 220,000 in March of 07 are being sold right now for 180,000, how is this going to affect the current inventory that is older. More pain coming, I fear.
Has anyone calculated the foreclosures rate based on the number of houses sold/financed in the pior year(s)?
