  A rising number of Americans — particularly those who took out riskier adjustable-rate and subprime mortgages — are increasingly defaulting on their loans, according to figures released this week by RealtyTrac , providing striking evidence that a growing number of borrowers are at risk of losing their homes.

• Data Suggests Decline in California Foreclosures
  
  California’s latest economic numbers reported by forecasters at the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman University suggest that the number of foreclosures for the state will continue to dwindle for the foreseeable future. This sheds light on some of the most recent foreclosure statistics published by RealtyTrac (see our latest report) , which show decreasing numbers of new filings in March and April, and May numbers up only slightly. None of the factors that contributed to the last great rush in the state’s foreclosure pipeline back in the early 1990s is present this time around.

The severity of that impact, however, is open to discussion — depending, of course, on how you choose to massage the data to prove your point. Delivering the results of his research as part of an economists’ panel on the last day of California Realtor Expo 2006 in Long Beach last week, Christopher Cagan, Ph.D., Director of Research and Analytics for First American Real Estate Solutions, said that even with $1 trillion of adjustable-rate mortgages ready to reset to higher interest rates in both 2007 and 2008, he believes the number of defaults and foreclosures resulting from the increased mortgage payments will be “painful but won’t break the economy or the market.” Basing his comments on data collected on first mortgages — with an emphasis on those originated between 2004 and 2005 — Cagan said, “We have to figure out who has equity and who doesn’t.
