California foreclosures increasing in alarming rates - all speculative "flip that house" markets have huge foreclosure numbers, and gas is $4 a gallon
Someone sent me these figures and I posted them FYI, I didn't verify those, but they seems to be right, judging from what I see here in Illinois, where certain towns give me an impression that every second home is in foreclosure or bank-owned. Pre-foreclosure often means that homeowners already received Notice of Default. Bank owned means just that - bank had to take the house back from the borrower, and often, because it wouldn't sell at foreclosure auction. Remember my client who decided not to complete the purchase of three condos in Florida, and forfeiting $60,000 in earnest money in the process? There are going to be more foreclosures, just wait when gas prices go over $4 a gallon across the country. If you have a 15 gallon tank, typical of Camry, Accord, Impala, and Taurus, it is $60 to fill. You fill it 5 times a month - here is $300 per car. What is that going to do to an average American?
