More homes in foreclosure have been progressing to a sale date and not being cured in the initial Notice of Default phase. Usually, about 40 – 50% end up going to sale, but July REOs were at a yearly low of 28%. This decrease might be contributed by home owners getting loan mods or successful short sales.
NODs have been steady since April at about 400; NTSs match June at 519; and REOs rolled over from 233 to 145. See the 12 month chart.

For May, there was little change in the number of NODs but the number of NTSs jumped by 127 to the mid 500s. The number of Trustee Deeds (REOs) is creeping up. See the details on this chart.

Back in the early 90s, the number of Notice of Defaults (NODs) were about twice that of the Notice of Trustee’s Sales (NTSs) and the Trustee’s Deeds were 1/3 to 1/2 of that. That pattern went on for years but now we’re seeing a shift. The NODs are down, most NODs go to a sale date and 50 – 70% either go back to the lender or are bought by an investor at the auction.
Currently, the number of NODs for April (410) is way down from March (546) but is the same as February.

Looking at one month of foreclosure activity for Ventura County shows a different skew than the longer term trend of the quarterly reports of the last few years.
Foreclosure activity for March on the monthly graph shows an increase over February. Compare that foreclosure activity to the 1st quarter results for 2011 and you’ll see some fluctuation but an overall downward trend for the last 18 months.
