Southland DataQuick July Sales Report

The number of Southern California homes sold last month edged up to its highest level in more than a year as bargain hunters swept up foreclosure properties in affordable neighborhoods, a real estate information service reported.

"What we're looking at is a fire sale of properties in newer affordable neighborhoods that were bought or refinanced near the price peak with lousy mortgages. What we're still not seeing is this level of distress spreading to more expensive or established neighborhoods," said John Walsh, MDA DataQuick president.

Indicators of market distress continue to move in different directions. Foreclosure activity is at record levels, financing with adjustable-rate mortgages is near the all-time low as is financing with multiple mortgages. Down payment sizes and flipping rates are stable, non-owner occupied buying activity appears flat but may be emerging, MDA DataQuick reported.

We All Like Food - RIGHTTTT????

OK, I normally write about local restaurants in my neck of the woods but I am on vacation in Oregon and stumbled upon a great place to dine.

It was like hitting the lotto, my wife two kids and I were totally surprised by the great food, locations, décor and service we received. We were aw struck, we did not expect to find this in a little town off the 101 freeway in Florence Oregon.

The Bay Street Grille is a pub and restaurant that needs this honorable mention. it is located at 1341 Bay Street in Florence Oregon.

If you live within 50 miles of this place you need to head there and give it a spin, if you are ever on the 101 freeway near Florence you need to stop by.

Back to my vacation, next stop San Francisco.

No Sign of Relief? Inland Empire Market Watch May 2008

I am still unable to get MLS statistics for the Inland Valley Board of Realtors they have not updated their data since December 2007. I sent an e-mail to their administration hoping to get them to update this data. As soon as this data is available I will analyze and report on it.

Even though sales numbers are up slightly the market appears to be going flat in a very low spot, only time will tell if this condition continues in the Inland Empire of California. This comment is made from my observations from the street and in tracking foreclosure and individual city activity.

Statistics and Analysis

Inland Valley Board of Realtors data is presently not available.

Some stats from Foreclosureradar.com about Notice of Defaults (NOD's), Notice of Sales (NOS's) and Foreclosures in San Bernardino County. NOD's and NOS's continue to be running at very high levels. NOD's are have dropped 9.1% from last month and up 111.3% from last year. NOS's are up 3.5% from last month and up 179.7.5% from last year. The real tell of the condition of the foreclosures is the percentage of NOS's that are canceling, presently we are at 12%, during stable or appreciating markets it is as high as 60%.

Notice of Defaults Notice of Sale Cancellation of Sale

October 07 982 1,169 270

November 07 2,414 1,391 206

December 07 3,210 2,153 209

January 07 4,033 1,981 315

February 08 3,496 1,352 225

March 08 4,035 2,615 246

April 08 4,150 2,982 318

May 08 4,106 3,365 292

Overall, my opinion is that this market will continue to slide downward for some time. Between September and February of 2009 we will really see a blood bath.
