• Short sales rising
  
  Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. 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.

On the other hand, those exceptions could just turn out to be a source of false hope, perpetuated in part by short-term foreclosure solutions that are about as effective as a five-gallon bailing bucket on the sinking Titanic. The notable exceptions included Detroit — a longtime posterchild for the foreclosure meltdown — and Philadelphia, along with a few other Pennsylvania metro areas.

• 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

  Bank Repossessions (REOs) accounted for 28 percent of all activity during the month, while defaults accounted for 41 percent and auction notices accounted for 31 percent. That is in contrast to REOs accounting for just 16 percent of all activity in July 2007, while defaults in July 2007 were still at 41 percent and auction notices were at 43 percent. This shift in percentages shows that a higher U.S. foreclosure activity in July increased 8 percent from the previous month and 55 percent from July 2007, according to the RealtyTrac Foreclosure Market Report released today.
