As Home Prices Plummet, When Will You Buy?
And you see states passing laws, like Californias SB 1137, aimed at giving homeowners a better chance of getting a loan workout rather than a foreclosure.

Coastal Disasters = More Foreclosures?
It doesn’t matter if you’re living in Florida or California — coastal property is expensive and so are the insurance premiums that go with them. Many insurance companies that WERE writing homeowner’s insurance policies pulled out of California altogether after that one. Florida had 124,721 foreclosures last year — a 2 percent increase from 2005, and a foreclosure rate of one new filing for every 59 households. For anyone who has lived through a natural disaster, the recent tornadoes in Central Florida and the horrific aftermath left behind — approximately 1,500 structures destroyed and 20 people killed — brings back memories of more than just the great need for disaster relief from the federal government (FEMA).

  • Bank-Repossession Beat Continues in March
    The lender also has to agree to the DIL arrangement, which may involve clearing out other liens secured by the property. But that may be better than the alternative — a costly and lengthy process that will quite likely end with the bank repossessing the property anyway. The year-over-year increase in bank repossessions was even more dramatic in some states: 619 percent in Arizona; 597 percent in New York; 557 percent in California; and 464 percent in Florida. For the third month in a row U.S. foreclosure activity registered at more than 50 percent above the level it was
