Room Enough for a Catnap
Well, for one family it was the right time, an attractive property, and so they came off the fence and pounced at the opportunity of occupying a foreclosed property — quite literally, given that it’s a family of bobcats. A search on RealtyTrac.com this morning for the Lake Elsinore area revealed that 784 properties were in the pre-foreclosure stage of the process, while another 410 properties were set for auction and 1,313 properties have gone back to the lender as REOs. In this lackluster real estate market potential homebuyers have been sitting on the fence, observing from the sidelines as the number of foreclosures keeps going up and home prices keep plummeting.

But the increases in those categories started to slow down in 2008.

Bank-Repossession Beat Continues in March
And for the second month in a row, the number of bank repossessions, or REOs, was up more than 100 percent year over year. The implication: while significantly more homeowners are falling into foreclosure, there is an even bigger increase in the number of homeowners already in the process who are losing their homes to foreclosure — whether through the typical foreclosure sale mechanism or whether by pre-empting the public foreclosure sale through what is called a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the latter case, the homeowner offers to convey ownership of the property to the foreclosing

While foreclosure activity in the first quarter of 2008 was up on a year-over-year basis in 90 percent of the nations 100 largest metropolitan areas, according to the RealtyTrac Q1 report issued today, there were a few notable exceptions that could prove to be a harbinger of hope for the nations battered housing market. in March, spurred by investors taking advantage of low prices on foreclosed properties."

Solving the MERS Mystery
That’s because when they see MERS — or its expanded manifestation, Mortgage Electronic Registration System — listed as the lender for a property, it often means extra work finding contact information for the actual lender who is foreclosing. Clicking on that hyperlink will open a new window that allows them to search for the current lender using the property address.

Lenders Asked to Clean Up Unhealthy Foreclosures
One of the downsides of taking back foreclosed properties for the lender is the obligation and cost associated with managing those REOs — some of which are bound to be vacant for a while, especially with the extended time it is currently taking to sell real estate in the Golden State. Although West Nile Virus in particular may not be a nationwide medical crisis at the moment, this is a case where investors looking to purchase foreclosed properties which have sat vacant for some time would do well to have a property inspector come in and check out any water features the property

Thieves Have the New Foreclosure Math Down
Public officials have taken notice as well and are proposing legislation to deal with the situation, including holding lending institutions financially responsible for the upkeep of their REO properties until such time as they sell. Some places have even proposed that the lenders pay a registration fee for every foreclosed property when it comes back to the bank.
