High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
In a lot of the bubble markets — like Miami, Palm Beach, San Diego, Las Vegas, Orange County and the Inland Empire in California — we are going to see an increase in the number of high-end foreclosures in relatively wealthy communities. This is just the tip of the iceberg.” McCabe believes that delinquencies and defaults will rise not only among subprime borrowers, but among prime mortgages, Alt-A loans, teaser rate loans and low money-down loans as well, forcing homes valued at more than $750,000 into foreclosure.

Clash of Cultures at CAR Expo
The opening session of what is billed as “Tech Tuesday” at the California Realtor Expo 2006 provided a somewhat unvarnished glimpse into how some Realtors are responding to real estate websites that are lifting the veil on home valuations and other previously hard-to-find real estate data. I don’t think value is being inserted,” said an impassioned Allan Dalton, president of Realtor.com, to a big round of applause from the audience.
