I'm just curious what the REO list agents are hearing around the country from their AMs and Clients regarding the upcoming flood which we have been told would hit in April, then May, then June for sure... I've had on my life-jacket for three months now. I've been told by some of my clients are staffing-up, the property preservation companies I work with have said there are thousands of properties in pre status right now. The moratoriums have expired and the new Calif moratorium (90 days starting in June) was only for banks that did not already have a loan-mod program in place so what's the story you have been hearing?

Four words, two phrases:

"shadow inventory" "market manipulation"

No tidal wave of LISTINGS.

I was thinking about this today. Especially if you mention your property preservation companies saying there are many in pre status. If there were that many in pre status don't you think they would be assigned to listing agents as well? Who's doing the weekly checks? I do agree though that there are many REOs in the process but just having the actual foreclosure sale delayed. I watch my counties foreclosures and see many many in the elections and demand reports (NOD). But relatively few actually end up to auction compared to even 6 months ago in my area.

I just got CMA today from Ocwen, usually a good sign as that is us doing an appraisal for the listing agent's assignment.

We also did 2 this past weekend that were vacant lockbox, BPO's, so definitely going to be listings.

Just do the math---there was a foreclosure freeze starting in December until April,at least here in Fl.

So now you're going to see the evictions happen, and all the failed short sales get listed. IMO.

One of my clients, GRC, just selected 250 agents to be in "preferred" status nationally. That means they will be the go to agents within a 30 mile radius of their zip and further out in rural areas. And also they have implemented an approved short sale process that basically makes the property an REO with slight differences. My team was lucky enough to be selected for our area and we have been getting 1-2 listings daily since then. With my other clients it has been fairly slow.

Foreclosures are ramping up not a lot has been flowing into the market and the market could definitely use the supply. I dont subscribe to the shadow inventory theory though of masses of foreclosures already foreclosed but sitting off market. Sure there are some, there are always some, but not in the numbers I think people are hoping. Where the shadow inventory lies is in the huge number of NTS that are filed in CA but lenders holding off foreclosing. Once they do foreclose the property gets put into the servicers system and processed normally in my observation.

Here is a LA County specific snapshot of trustee sales. For June it is current up to the end of business day on the 15th. REOs for June are on pace to almost match last September.

EDIT: Here is the foreclosure radar California report, you can see the large NTS filings, many of those are being delayed so the NTS backlog is quite large and isn't accurately represented in the graph : http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6937/foreclosureradarmay09.jpg

So a wave is coming, how big it is is anyones guess at this point. The lenders are really holding off foreclosing, they are only taking back 15% of scheduled sales any one day. Last year at this time it was around 50%. NTS continue to build.

I've heard that Clients are holding off to control Supply/Demand to drive up values. Not sure if that is what you are referring to with "market manipulation" but in case that's not it can you elaborate? Thanks!

From what I understand, lots of Option ARMs are getting ready to resent in the next few months, and this stage will last approximately three years. These are going to include many high end properties, which will be the next tidal wave I think most people are referring to.

Good for you Madhatter. Riding High. That is very cool.

Wilshire sent out something today saying they were tossing out another 30 day bone to folks with foreclosure issues. They sounded like this was the last one they were gonna toss.

I think CanDo's 4 words say it all... and I believe that some market manipulation is good. Why flood the market only to keep driving prices down into the ground? That hurts everyone.

Tidal Wave...
is this what REO agents are really hoping for??? This would mean working 14 to 16+ hrs a day with an occassional day off (if you're lucky) and work under a stress load that could easily become unbearable. Some of us are already doing that, so can you imagine adding to that workload? We all think we're ready... but a "tidal wave" might be more than what we really want to tackle. What's wrong with spacing the inventory out so the market isn't flooded?

I, for one, hope it's maniupulated to some degree to prevent a tidal wave. This would mean that REO inventory will continue to enter the market for a longer time period but with managable flow rather than an oversupply hitting the market in a short time period which would further deteriorate our values. I really do NOT want to see a Tidal Wave! I truly believe it hurts everyone... including the REO agents who are dying to get a good ride on this. (just my 2 cents)

Myself, I would love a tidal wave and they have been coming in fast recently. REO's are about volume unless your a lone agent without a team. Banks like brokers who can handle alot and efficiently. That's why we have REO kings and queens. I have to split every deal 3 ways so we need the volume to make it profitable and keep everybody on our team making money.

It seems my clients are looking to consolidate their agents and put more listings in fewer hands. And those listings go to the agents that have proven to be able to handle the volume.
