• 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.

• First-Time Buyers Get Help with CA Foreclosure Purchase
  
  First-time homebuyers in California are getting help in purchasing their piece of the American Dream thanks to a public-private partnership and $200 million in bond funds allocated to the California Housing Finance Agency (CalFHA). Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger announced Monday that CalFHA’s Community Stabilization Home Loan Program will dole out the money, expected to help as many as 1,000 Californians obtain their piece of homeownership.

• I'll Take Sour Cream and Chives
  
  The five: California, Florida (the hanging chad capital of the western world), Michigan, Ohio and Georgia. Just an FYI: in the upcoming 2008 presidential election, California will have 55 electoral votes, Florida 27, Michigan 17, Ohio 20 and Georgia 15. However, the CNNMoney.com report does go on to say that Edwards has been an outspoken critic of subprime lenders and vows to help those victims. No butter for me. Personally, I like my hot baked potato covered with sour cream and chives.

• You Too Can Predict the Future...Maybe
  
  The way things are going nowadays you too have about as much a chance of correctly predicting whether the nation and the state of California are either headed towards, or are already in, a recession as any of the professionals who do it for a living. Although he believes the $152 million economic stimulus package President Bush and Congress approved last month will help somewhat, Engle, a professor at New York University, is disappointed in the performance of the housing sector enough to blame it as the chief reason that a recession is likely. “What I’m hoping is that this sector of

• Lenders Asked to Clean Up Unhealthy Foreclosures
  
  At least unhealthy enough that, in an unprecedented move, California State Commissioner of Financial Institutions, Michael A. In the meantime, California’s Department of Financial Institutions is asking the CEOs of all industry members to help stop the spread of the virus by draining the water at all vacant properties currently under their management.

Kelley, sent out an official notice last Tuesday requesting that all state licensees in the financial services industry
