December home sales numbers have continued to spike upward for Ventura, Camarillo and Oxnard.

But single family home price points decreased in December for Ventura and Camarillo with Oxnard remaining steady.  Condo price points for the 3 cities are mixed.

Because monthly reports for prices tends to be volatile, I like to see what the quarterly trend lines show. Now that December’s in the books, Ventura and Camarillo price points are still trending upward while Oxnard is trending down.

The percentage of single family homes that were distressed sales in the month of  December are:

Ventura – 49%      Oxnard – 51%      Camarillo – 45%

The number of filings of Notice of Defaults for September (first step in the foreclosure process) continued a second month of decline from August even though the quarterly graph shows a turn upward.

The spread between the blue line and the green line always intrigues me. The green line represents completed foreclosures – over 200 homes a month.

I just don’t understand why homeowners – who know they can’t afford to keep their home – allow their lender to foreclose when they could be in control of the process and do a US Treasury HAFA short sale – and get $3,000 at close of escrow!

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.
