US Foreclosures a Mixed Blessing in Q2
As the most recently collected data reported today in RealtyTracs Q2 2006 U.S. On the positive side, foreclosure activity nationwide during Q2 2006 rose 25 percent over the same quarter last year to 272,109 properties . On the flip side, however, foreclosure activity nationwide decreased 16 percent between the first and second quarters of the year, meaning there are less properties to invest in, thus making the search for properties that will pencil out as a "good deal" even harder to find.

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. Six of those states also appeared in RealtyTrac’s list of states with the highest foreclosure rates in 2006. The FBI also lists Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada,

Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property.

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.
