Are we headed to a new record?

Foreclosure activity in California during the first quarter took a large step towards the record high activity back in 1996 when during the second quarter of that year 15,418 foreclosure sales occurred. During the first quarter this year we had 11,033 sales and almost 47,000 Notices of Default filed. Take a look at my article “More Californian’s faced with sting of foreclosure” posted on the Sacramento Real Estate News page at Jalone.com or in my Rocklin & Roseville Today column.

By the way, if the weather doesn’t get any worse, the Placer County Strawberry Festival is this weekend. The hours are 10 to 7 PM today and 10 to 4 Pm on Sunday at the Placer County Fairgrounds (800 All America City Blvd., Roseville). Adult entrance it $9 and parking is $5. It is very good event and worth the time and money.
