With banks, servicers, investors and the government trying everything they can (except across the board loan modifications with principle reductions and work-outs that make sense!) to extend and slow down the foreclosure process, what does the future of the El Dorado County Foreclosure Market look like? Well, I think more of the same: Extend, pretend, drag out the inevitable, long hold times trying to get through to someone to help, new government loan modification programs that don’t work, foreclosure trustee sales postponed, more foreclosure moratoriums, etc. …anything but facing the fact that hundreds (thousands?) of El Dorado County homeowners are struggling and need some type of long term solution or the only resort is Short Sale or Foreclosure.
El Dorado County foreclosure notices, including notice of default and notice of trustee sale have gone up over the past year, and up higher in June than in May also, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
