SD Foreclosures By Zip

Where are the foreclosures in North County? This summary came directly from the county records via title company, not from some wimpy, half-baked MLS – so its accuracy should be better:

The combined total of the last six areas is higher than the the cumulative of the other 27 zips (680 vs. 671). If you laid the subprime map over this, it would probaby coincide pretty well.

  1. I posted this comment late yesterday regarding the high-end real estate hurting. It’s an excerpt from an article by Alan Nevin in the San Diego Metropolitan. Seems relevant to today’s blog entry:

    "In San Diego County, for instance, two-thirds of all of the homes foreclosed and resold in the first quarter of 2008 were in 20 of the 90 communities in the county. Thus, 700 of the 1,100 foreclosed single-family home sales were in those 20 communities, all inland. In 20 of the 90 communities, there were no foreclosure sales. As you might expect, most of those “0” foreclosure sales were in communities near the coast. Of those low foreclosure communities, most were in the highly ranked school districts.

    The 10 communities with the highest rates of foreclosure sales had single-family homes averaging $394,000. The 10 with the lowest foreclosure sales had sale prices averaging $1.6 million."

    These high-end purchases typically would require a jumbo loan but these are also not first time home buyers. Most buyers are bringing equity into the purchase.

    Time will tell. Here’s the link for the full article: http://www.sandiegometro.com/2008/jun/property.php

  2. Encinitas is about to fall apart…immune my ass

  3. "If you laid the subprime map over this, it would probaby coincide pretty well."

    I wonder if the same would be true of a map of new home construction during this period. Are there any statistics available comparing the number of subprime-financed new home sales vs the number of subprime-financed resales and refi’s?

  4. It would be fascinating to see accurate ratios of foreclosures to total residences to see if there any surprises at the higher end.

  5. So all these actually just went through the Trustee sale, but may or may not be listed yet?

  6. Jim,
    Here’s a question. I am renter & have never owned. My husband and I have saved ~$225k for a downpayment and have good jobs. We rent an apt in Carmel Valley and want to buy in Carlsbad or Encinitas. We’re thinking a SFR $500-600k range with a yard on the east side of the I-5.

    Personally, I think it is still a horrible time to buy, but my husband is desperate to own a house. He wants to buy right away and it has been a point of contention in our relationship for a while now.

    In your expert opinion, (if I relent and agree to buy a house soon) do you think that it would be wiser to buy the house we want to raise a family in? Or (if I relent and agree to buy a house soon) should we buy a smaller, crappier house than we want and temporarily live in it, then rent it out as soon as another house comes along that we want to raise a family in at a better 2010 price?

  8. sorry for the double post. I’d value your opinion. I love this blog!

  9. These high-end purchases typically would require a jumbo loan but these are also not first time home buyers. Most buyers are bringing equity into the purchase.
    —————–

    And therein lies the coming glitch in the higher-end areas, IMHO. As prices in the starter/first-stage move-up neighborhoods drops by 35-50%, where is all this "brought equity" supposed to come from. The pyramid is fed from the bottom.

  10. Great idea to post foreclosures by zipcode. It looks like there are quite a few around town. I’ve been doing some research on local and national foreclosures numbers. The Dallas Fort Worth area seems to be increasing in the past few months. Great info, thanks for posting!
