Final Notes.
- Essentially September 2019 is more of the same in relation to the foreclosure trend.
- None of the foreclosure filings appear to be a result of the Bertram Versus US bank decision due to the date of the last payment.
- The lack of Certificate of Title Growth in relation to the Lis Pendens filings shows that the market has improved to the point if you go into default. You can trade out.
- The intuitional distressed market will continue to not be a primary driver.
- Most of the foreclosures appear to be smaller loan amounts. There is significant demand within those price points.
- Appreciation has slowed down since 2016. Which is why the vintage of 2016 through 2018 has as many foreclosures. They can not trade out unless they had a large down payment.
