GuestFair enough. The foot-dragging you’ll note in my reply is that I’m a little reluctant to post the addresses of what I think are foreclosed homes and then be wrong about it. It’s one thing if I’m privately wrong on my dandy little spreadsheet but quite another to be wrong so publicly, especially when I’m basing my assessment of what’s a foreclosure on a limited amount of evidence. But I think it’s reasonable and fair to ask for some addresses.
And I can appreciate the categorization of my little study (probably too strong a description) as potentially “fishy”. I think that a great amount of what’s readily available to us as data is a bit questionable and there’s a ton of spin put on whatever is presented. (This is part of why I appreciate Rich and his insights. Lots of data and little to no spin.) For what it’s worth, I have little interest in spin one way or another and I don’t work in a field even loosely connected to real estate.
How about this – I’ll go through the neighborhood again and revisit the addresses one more time so that my conscience is clear about posting at least some of them. And I’ll also ask a realtor friend to look them up. For the whopping three of us reading this thread, it will be interesting. π And if I’m wrong about an address or two and someone actually lives there, maybe it will be the motivation they need to turn on their sprinklers and maybe stop selling all their furniture on craigslist.

GuestPost-comment qualifier: I inadvertently said that Rich offers “little to no spin”. I can’t think of a time that there was even a little spin in his commentary, so apologies to Rich and everyone else for possibly suggesting otherwise. I had intended a compliment but executed it poorly. It should have read “no spin”.
There. Now my conscience is clear. And hopefully Rich is properly lauded.

ParticipantREO assignments just quadrupeled in the State of CA this week over last week. You won’t see them until they start popping up on the MLS but banks are now releasing inventory. Should be see the first ones in about 2 weeks that were vacant and just needed to be cleaned, rest will filter in as the evictions get processed.
