Explore Properties at Southern California: Property Default Filings and California Foreclosures

Foreclosure sales rose 35.1% in California from February to March 2011 (possibly because of more calendar days in March than in February).

"Between government intervention, internal issues within the banks, and even simple deviations like the number of days in the month, it is easy to come to the wrong conclusions about foreclosure activity," says Sean O'Toole, CEO and Founder of ForeclosureRadar.com. "The one thing that remains clear is that while the process has slowed, there remains no consensus on a viable solution other than foreclosure to eliminate the excess mortgage debt that has left millions underwater and continues to hinder the broader economy."
