LOS ANGELES FORECLOSURE HOMES

The past two quarters of this year are a reality check on the state of Los Angeles’ real estate market. Los Angeles foreclosures have doubled and even tripled in the past quarters compared to the same periods in the past year. It is not a secret that Los Angeles has one of the priciest housing markets in the nation, which is why Los Angeles homeowners are having a difficult time meeting their monthly house payments and are ending up on the foreclosure block.
But homeowners are not the only ones suffering from this major setback. Renters are also affected because their homes which used to be safe havens are now becoming part of the increasing market trend called Los Angeles foreclosure homes. It appears that despite being conscientious with paying their rent on time, they may end up getting evicted because their landlords are losing their homes.
So what kind of help can be expected? The local government is planning a $5 Billion, five-year plan to provide 20,000 affordable homes. Apparently, the initial $33 Million grant from the Federal government is expected to buy Los Angeles foreclosed homes. This idea is met with skepticism as there may not be enough funds to totally see the project through. Some people also believe that it doesn’t make sense for the government to buy these homes when private buyers are already taking care of the supply. Most homeowners wish that some kind of legal mandate to restructure their ballooning loans be put into effect.
One idea being floated around is to let Los Angeles homeowners facing foreclosure be allowed to stay in their house as renters, especially if their loans cannot be restructured further based on their credit history. Another idea is to give foreclosure judges the power to restructure loans over the lender’s objections. Only the future can tell whether any of these ideas will come to fruition and whether it will be enough to save homeowners from the debilitating Los Angeles foreclosure crisis.
