High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
In a lot of the bubble markets — like Miami, Palm Beach, San Diego, Las Vegas, Orange County and the Inland Empire in California — we are going to see an increase in the number of high-end foreclosures in relatively wealthy communities. Already, there’s a glut of McMansions in the $500,000 to $1 million range that have been foreclosed by lenders — and many more are falling into foreclosure, according to an analysis of RealtyTrac foreclosure records in 2006 and 2007 (see graphic).

Carney went on to say that he thinks Norris’ latest prediction, made in early 2006, that foreclosures will soar and home prices will plummet in the next few years is also likely to be correct.

Data Suggests Decline in California Foreclosures
California’s latest economic numbers reported by forecasters at the A. The current Chapman estimate is for 226,000 jobs to be created by year-end 2006, with another 150,000 jobs added during 2007.
