• Gentle January Foreclosure Increase
  
  Although they were up 57 percent from January 2007 and 8 percent from December, the January foreclosure numbers released today by RealtyTrac do not appear to represent the massive wave of foreclosures that is expected to hit sometime soon thanks to the rash of risky loans given to borrowers as late as just last year . Its too early too tell if the relatively meek January numbers mean more distressed homeowners are staving off foreclosure thanks to increasingly pro-active lenders and government intervention , or if they just represent the first few raindrops

• Feb. Foreclosure Report: Are We at Bottom Yet?
  
  February foreclosure activity was down 4 percent from the previous month but still up 57 percent from February 2007, according to the latest RealtyTrac U.S. Foreclosure Market Report . So does the monthly decrease mean weve hit a ceiling of sorts for this cycle in terms of foreclosures? Probably not. The February monthly decrease is more likely a seasonal decrease helped along by a shorter-than-average month and the fact that Januarys numbers are often padded with some pent-up foreclosure activity from the holiday season.

• Short sales rising
  
  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. If a short sale doesn’t work, it eventually becomes a bank-owned foreclosure. Short sales are a sign that rising foreclosures are beginning to put a strain on the market. Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description.

• Foreclosure Activity Deflating or Just Deferred?
  
  foreclosure activity in June decreased 3 percent from the previous month but was still up 53 percent from June 2007, according to the RealtyTrac U.S. Foreclosure Market Report released today. The 3 percent decrease may lead some to speculate that the upward trend in foreclosure activity may be nearing an end, but as RealtyTrac CEO James J. U.S. Saccacio pointed out in a statement, the year-over-year change is a more indicative number of the overall trend. "The

• Local Market Perspective: Lake Havasu, Ariz.
  
  I am seeing a rise in foreclosures and short sales far higher than May of 2007. My last seven sales have all been bank-owned homes, with over 171 contacts from my RealtyTrac source. Since January, I have seen builders giving away their product just to get out from under the declining market and stop the payments on their construction loans. With a population of fewer than 55,000, the Lake Havasu, Ariz., real estate market is still declining.
