Did some county clerk sit on almost 800 new listings this week, and then file all of them?? If you look on foreclosure.com, and just look at SD county, there are over 30 pages of NEW listings. . .I got to page 31 or 800 new listings. . .is this some type of error, or just "batch filing?" Whatever, it is jaw-droping.
mark,
Good question, I thought the same thing that perhaps a large batch of data was processed at once. Also I am thinking that the county might hold an official foreclosure proceeding where many properties are foreclosed on at once.
We do know based on the price action we've seeing and the financial news that indeed there are many problems in the marketplace. This could be the start of a "second leg" down in the market.
So, when they list a price on the foreclosure page, what is that? The bank already owns the property, is that what they hope to get? WANT to get? Skin in the game?
LA Times just had a story personalizing the problem:

I believe the price listed is what the bank is owed on the property.
