Data Suggests Decline in California Foreclosures
None of the factors that contributed to the last great rush in the state’s foreclosure pipeline back in the early 1990s is present this time around. The current Chapman estimate is for 226,000 jobs to be created by year-end 2006, with another 150,000 jobs added during 2007. Since unemployment rates are historically a good indicator of foreclosure rates, this bodes well for California homeowners, but less well for real estate investors, California’s latest economic numbers reported by forecasters at the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman University suggest that the

Too Soon For a Comeback
At present it does not appear that there is enough evidence yet to declare that a market comeback is in the offing. Even the National Association of Realtors, which has come out with its latest report documenting a two percent decline in existing home sales for March 2008, down 19.3 percent from March 2007, can’t be certain. The bottom line is that no one can say anything with 100 percent certainty given the current state of our national economy. Although industry analysts were anticipating this monthly decline, according to Mortgage News Daily .

Foreclosures: Chicken or Egg?

Thanksgiving a Time to Reflect . . . on Foreclosures Too!
And the projections are that there will be much more foreclosure activity in 2007 and 2008, especially as the effects of an estimated $1 trillion in “exotic” adjustable-rate mortgages start being felt. The bottom line is: more homeowners — who most likely bought more home than their budgets could really afford the past few years — are dangerously close to being in foreclosure. Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a time we take to reflect on our lives and what we can do to make the world a better place in which to live. Volunteers go out and serve meals to the hungry, religious and non-profit

So as it turns out, ongoing is a good word for investors and first-time homebuyers looking for a decent discount on a home in this buyer’s market. The Federal Reserve is starting to sound like a broken record. Oops!

You Too Can Predict the Future...Maybe

According to the Chapman Composite Index of Consumer Sentiment, while responses to the survey were negative when it came to the current and future economic conditions (to the lowest level seen since the survey began in Q3 2002), consumers did answer positively to their future spending plans for big ticket items (although the uptick was only 5 points for Q1 2008 after a 16-point decline for Q4 2007).

Given such reasoning, amending the legislation’s core concept may indeed be justified because in the free market system under which this country operates homeowners, like any other consumers, should not be rewarded for making It wasn’t very long ago that President George W.
