Where to find the best deals on foreclosures
Our analysis of nationwide foreclosure property sales in the last seven months shows that while some areas of the country documented a plethora of properties in foreclosure and big savings on foreclosure purchases, other areas reported relatively low foreclosure inventories and smaller average savings on foreclosure purchases. In addition, the low average sales price of foreclosures in these states makes it easier to purchase a foreclosure property — especially at foreclosure auctions, where the full amount in cash is sometimes required. It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

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. Unfortunately, what folks hear in the news, for the most part, does not apply to Lake Havasu; with it being a second home community, people from out of state are not jumping on the buying wagon since their present homes, which are up for sale, are still not selling. With a population of fewer than 55,000, the Lake Havasu, Ariz., real estate market is still declining.

OTS Director Offers Alternative Plan to Congress
Reich pointed to the FHASecure program as an example, where 116,000 loans have closed since the program was launched in September 2007, but only 1,500 of them were made to refinance delinquent conventional loans. Using the proceeds of the new FHA loan for existing loan holders via a short sale or a partial payment to pay off the existing mortgage is likewise similar. In a statement delivered before the Committee on Financial Services of the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week, John M.
