Since unemployment rates are historically a good indicator of foreclosure rates, this bodes well for California homeowners, but less well for real estate investors, first-time home buyers and real estate professionals who may be waiting for the long-anticipated flood of foreclosure inventory. California’s latest economic numbers reported by forecasters at the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman

• Greed and Deceit Get Their Comeuppance in Any Cycle
  
  It’s a recurring theme in the real estate industry; mostly visible in the financial sector, although one would have to be a fool to believe it didn’t take place in every aspect of the real estate transaction. By comparison, in the present situation there is plenty of blame to go around — lenders probably not disclosing everything they should have, and borrowers not reading everything they should have before signing on the dotted line — in the end it’s still the lenders that people are cursing at in a rather loud voice nowadays. Greed and deceit. And let’s

• Jackson Takes a Final Bow at HUD
  
  But despite Jackson’s best intentions, and all of his hard work to promote homeownership, the bottom line is that given the present economic environment, many homes that were insured against foreclosure by the FHA are now sitting in HUD’s portfolio. These “HUD homes,” like any homes that go back to a lender who forecloses, are a good potential pool of resources for investors and wannabe homebuyers looking to purchase bargain real estate.
