Thanks SD Realtor. It looks like you are spot on regarding the suspect nature of Realtytrac.com’s numbers. I just got my first “Foreclosure Property Alert” from them. That email has VERY different numbers for 92109 that the website does:
78 Foreclosure
24 Auction
93 REO
Still quite high compared to the number of sales, but not nearly as overwhelming as the numbers showing on the website.
Does any one have a better source for foreclosure data?
