Lots of contrasting trends. On one hand,Notices of default are up 39% .

But houses actually getting foreclosed on fell 28% from the prior quarter as short sales are becoming more common. Actual foreclosures fell 55% from last year. Default notices are more common in the lower areas= under 200k.

The median price in Southern California rose 28% in June from a year ago-most since statistics have been gathered. That puts it at $385,000 up from $300 last June. At the peak it was $505 so we have room to go.
