Don't Dump Investors
It appears everywhere and is never challenged, as if real estate investors are somehow disposable players in the foreclosure mess. However, none of these efforts are a silver bullet that will undo the excesses of the past years, nor are they designed to bail out real estate speculators or those who committed fraud during the mortgage process. Introducing the Hope Now program in 2007, President Bush said “weve got a role, Don’t Dump Investors By Peter G. Miller When it comes to bailing out giant banks, huge

High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
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. But increasingly there are signs that the foreclosure problem is spilling over into wealthier areas, where prime borrowers — and even high-end real estate developers — are rapidly falling behind on their

2007: Housing Slowdown Good for Foreclosures
The cooling real estate sector will continue to plague the national economy next year, but enough positive economic fundamentals remain in place to counteract forces threatening to push the U.S. That means 2007 should be a good year for anyone involved in the foreclosure sector of the market — whether they are real estate agents, potential home buyers or real estate investors. Some highlights of the Chapman forecast: The sky isn’t falling, but housing prices are projected to decline 2.2 housing market into a full tailspin, according to forecasters at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.

California Foreclosures 2007: Steady As She Goes
That said, foreclosure levels for 2007 are more likely to be a continuation of 2006, rather than a reprise of the early 1990s when foreclosures were rampant due to extensive job losses, high interest rates, high inflation and a resulting recession. Only a slight uptick in job creation throughout California is expected, along with low housing affordability, a larger inventory of unsold houses, declining home prices, lower sales volume and less residential construction. Through November, RealtyTrac tallied nearly 130,000 properties that entered some stage of foreclosure in California alone during 2006; accounting for roughly 11 percent of the nation’s foreclosures for the same period.

Waning Confidence a Concern That May Help Foreclosures
If housing prices plummeted like they did back in the early 1990s, the loan-to-value ratio on many mortgages might force homeowners into foreclosure, providing new opportunities for real estate investors, speculators, real estate agents and anyone looking to buy a home from the foreclosure pipeline. Declining numbers are being felt across the board in residential building permits, housing starts (projected to be down 10 percent for 2006 and another 6 percent in 2007) and completions, resulting in a total $64 billion drop in residential construction.

Data Suggests Decline in California Foreclosures
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, first-time home buyers and real estate professionals who may be waiting for the long-anticipated flood of foreclosure inventory. We appreciate your California’s latest economic numbers reported by forecasters at the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman
