INDUSTRY NEWS, SHASTA COUNTY, TIPS FOR SELLERS
February 22nd, 2010

it-politics-killed-white-house-email-projectRealtyTrac reported its January numbers for foreclosure properties which include notices of default, auctions and bank repossessions. There was a 10% decrease from the previous month however the 315,716 foreclosure filings for U.S.  properties was 15% higher than one year earlier.

Nevada has the honor of the highest number of filings for the 37th straight month. Other Western States making the top 10 include Arizona, California, Oregon, Utah and Idaho. Phoneix is the only large metro area that saw an increase from the previous month.

Las Vegas saw a 2% decrease from the previous month but retains the title of highest foreclosure rate-1 of every 82 housing units with a foreclosure filing. Six California cities had foreclosure rates in the top 10-

  1. Modesto-1 in every 107
  2. Stockton-1 in every 107
  3. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario-1 of every 109
  4. Merced-1 of every 109
  5. Vallejo-Farfield-1 of every 112
  6. Bakersfield-1 of every 118

The Central Valley saw a construction boom and rapid price appreciation during the bubble which explains why these same areas are tops in foreclosure activity. Locally, foreclosure filings have been up and down month-to-month with no clear downward trend as of yet.  One could argue that foreclosure activity is focused in newer subdivision developments sold during the bubble however some foreclosures are a result of cash-out refinances on homes in more established neighborhoods that later lost significant value.
