bubble

bubble oil and trouble

here's a goody from the times click
still typing w/one hand. been watching the oil thing, this in my opinion has high probabilty of failure and has a high probability of coastal damage here, especially if we have a hurricane. if interested theoildrum.com is ameeting place for geologist and other petro professionals, the implications of real estate destruction is something to be considered.
the press has been silent regarding gulfstream fluid communication and the potential
for air and water contaminates.
there is even unsubstaniated rumor of planned mass evacuations if needed.

we live on an island, across street from water, and will keep a keen eye on events.

"RealtyTrac® (realtytrac.com), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, today released its U.S. Foreclosure Market Report™ for April 2010, which shows that foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions — were reported on 333,837 properties in April, a 9 percent decrease from the previous month and a 2 percent decrease from April 2009. One in every 387 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing during the month.

“There were two important milestones in the April numbers that show foreclosure activity has begun to plateau — but at a very high level that will not drop off in the near future,” said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. “April was the first month in the history of our report with an annual decrease in U.S. foreclosure activity. Secondly, bank repossessions, or REOs, hit a record monthly high for the report even while default notices dropped substantially on a monthly and annual basis. We expect a similar pattern to continue for most of this year, with the overall numbers staying at a high level and ripples of activity hitting the various stages of the foreclosure process as lenders systematically work through the backlog of distressed properties.”

Foreclosure Activity by Type During the month a total of 103,762 properties received default notices (NOD, LIS), a decrease of 12 percent from the previous month and a decrease of 27 percent from April 2009 — when default activity peaked at more than 142,000.

Foreclosure auctions (NTS, NFS) were scheduled for the first time on a total of 137,643 properties during the month, a decrease of 13 percent from the previous month — when auction activity peaked with more than 158,000 properties scheduled for auction for the first time. Auction activity was up 1 percent from April 2009.

Bank repossessions (REOs) hit a record monthly high for the report in April, with a total of 92,432 properties repossessed by lenders during the month — an increase of 1 percent from the previous month and an increase of 45 percent from April 2009. Bank repossessions were less than 1 percent above their previous peak of 92,182 in December 2009. "

Email

We recently got an email from the local used house salesman company. what is significant is the following "we have qualified buyers but there remains a disconnect between what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are willing to accept". imagine that. perhaps sellers are suffering from "ed" ego and or debt?

Another one that did not hold its value that was paid brand new.

Sold: 3/2010 for $380K
New Price: 10/2007 for $829K

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=514031031100

That is a major short sale. $449K (54%) loss in just over 2 years time.

How does this recent $380K sales price affect the adjacent.

Purchased: 11/2007 for $629K
Purchased: 8/2007 for $892K

The bigger they are: we first saw this house from the water, it strongly appealed to me because I am from the Pacific, and seeing the familiar architecture it immediately peaked my interest. That was in 07. Unfortunately the house inside is not representative of the architecture in my opinion at all and plus there are 65k year (gasp) taxes which I would never pay ,I am not a club person and its way too big for us. But it was fun to ponder for a while. Out of curiosity been watching the house, someone purchased it from an estate in 07 for 3.5 and now it is listed for 3,4999. listing here:
click it is rumoured speculators who paid cash.
purchase here:
purchase It is also rumoured that the flippers put around 250k in the house trying to make it more asian inspired. Owning for 3 years, plus upgrades and commissions might add up to around 500k plus loss.

Massive tract home McMansion foreclosure that the bank took back 3/22/2010. This baby sports a rather impressive 4600 sq ft.

Are you ready for this...purchased 5/2006 for $1.2 million. Thats is correct, over $1 mil for a tract home. Assessor says market is $655K. Could this be a strategic default or a failed short sale?

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=513925053580

How does this massive foreclosure affect the adjacent.

Purchased: 4/2007 for $725K
