Real Estate Silver lining or still too early to tell? Lets look at the numbers of the recent activity to see...

August 2009 Foreclosure, REO, and Short Sale update.

According to Foreclosure Radar (A service which tracks every single foreclosure daily in the state of California) in the month of August Foreclosure notices in the state of California saw a decline while foreclosure sales rose in the state of California.

Sales at the actual foreclosure auction rose by 3.4 percent overall to 17,289 sales.  According to estimates foreclosure sales sold to third party investors at an average of a 29.7% discount from estimated market value.

Notices of default dropped by an estimated 19.1% from the record level set the in June.  Notices of Trustee sale (Foreclosure Auction) decreased by 15.1% from the prior month.

Although it's too early to tell if this will be a trend its important information to consider and keep an eye on.
