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). High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes By Octavio Nuiry, RealtyTrac Staff Writer Until now, the foreclosure crisis was confined to a narrow niche of middle-class urban communities and outer-rim new housing developments where first-time homeowners and real estate speculators benefited briefly from favorable financing.

Foreclosures: the Coming California Crash?
California foreclosure investors now have an opportunity to tap the knowledge of a 25-year real estate investing veteran who correctly predicted the last two major swings in the California real estate market and is on the verge of correctly predicting another. “Bruce Bruce Norris was dead right” about home prices in California doubling in the early 2000s after hitting bottom in 1997, said Michael Carney, Director of the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California. 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.

Foreclosures: Chicken or Egg?
One Southern California economist believes they’re clearly a symptom. “I and Director of the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California . Carney pinpointed the root cause of Southern California’s cooling housing market as a somewhat cryptic slowing of demand for housing in 2006. And rising defaults and foreclosures is It’s a classic chicken-and-egg question: are foreclosures a cause or a symptom of the slumping housing market?

FBI: Mortgage Fraud Begets Foreclosure
The FBI recently came out with its 2006 Mortgage Fraud Report , which somewhat anticlimactically concludes that there is “a strong correlation between mortgage fraud and loans which result in default or foreclosure.” The correlation is apparent in the report’s list of the top states for mortgage fraud: California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Utah.

Study Forecasts Rising Subprime Foreclosures
The study, which cites RealtyTrac numbers as one of its sources, looked at subprime foreclosure rates from 1998 through 2006 and closely ties those rates to house price appreciation. It warns cities in California, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Michigan, as well as the greater Washington, D.C. Foreclosure prevention may often fit with those agendas, but it’s rarely the driving force. A new study released yesterday by the Center for Responsible Lending projects that one out of five subprime mortgages originated in the past two years will end in foreclosure, costing homeowners as much as $164 billion. “This rate is nearly double the projected rate of subprime loans made in 2002, and it exceeds the worst foreclosure experience in the modern mortgage market, which occurred during the “Oil Patch” disaster of the 1980s.
