MOUNT PLEASANT, PA, January 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Los Angeles County Notices of Default dropped by 34,862 in 2010, according to data released by Default Research, Inc., a leading pre-foreclosure tracking firm. 48,069 homeowners received notices that their mortgages were seriously delinquent in 2010, down from 82,931 in 2009.
Notices of Default, recorded approximately 90-180 days after a property owner defaults on a mortgage, is the first stage in the California non-judicial foreclosure process. Once this occurs, property owners have 90 days to cure the default or a Notice of Trustee Sale will be recorded in the county in which the property is located. As soon as 21 days later, the property can be sold to the highest bidder at a public auction.
Although Los Angeles County Notices of Default had a year-over-year decline of 42%, Default Research, Inc., Founder Serdar Bankaci sees trouble looming for the Los Angeles housing market. He believes there are three primary reasons for this: declining home prices, rising inventories, and high unemployment.
"While fewer Notices of Default is a good sign, you have to dig a little deeper to see a clearer picture of the LA housing market. Home prices are down 1.2%. Although it could be worse, this is bad news for a real estate market that has seen inventories increase by 7% this year," Bankaci said.
Rising inventories confirm Bankaci's worst fears that the LA housing market remains in dire straits. "Inventory is rising. That means properties are sitting on the market, unsold. Investors aren't flocking to LA to invest - and high unemployment is otherwise constricting the market."
Bankaci believes that LA County's 12.5% unemployment rate, 127% of the national unemployment rate of 9.8%, indicates that potential buyers are priced out of the market by their lack of employment. "Let's face it. If you're unable to find a job, buying a house is the last thing on your to-do list. Until LA County sees some serious job creation, millions of potential buyers will be sitting on the sidelines, waiting for conditions to improve," Bankaci said.
"Since this won't happen overnight, LA County prices should remain flat - and possibly fall some more," Bankaci said. "The good news is that the current foreclosure rate should remain fairly constant in 2011."
