Sacramento Continues to Lead Region in Foreclosures

(PRWEB) August 21, 2008 — Default Research, the premier provider of foreclosure real estate data in Northern California, is reporting that Notice of Defaults and Notices of Trustee Sales in the area dropped 8 percent from June 2008 to July 2008. According to Default Research, (http://www.defaultresearch.com), the northern California region as a whole is up 100 percent in terms of Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee Sale from the same time last year.

“Again, we are always pleased to see an improvement in the foreclosure situation, even if it is just a month to month adjustment,” said Serdar Bankaci, founder of Default Research. “Although Southern California was hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, the northern part of the state has also been significantly affected, but not as much in San Francisco. Even in San Francisco though, median home prices have declined.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Sacramento which continues to lead the region with 3,177 unique foreclosure documents recorded in July 2008. Contra Costa (2,443) and Alameda (2,300) are close behind Sacramento.

“The region has seen prices fall approximately 20 to 25 percent since the middle of 2006,” said Bankaci. “However, median home prices and inventories in Northern California have begun to level off in the past few months.”
