Outstanding job! A very useful tool to help us understand the impact of foreclosures in different areas. The area where I want to buy a house DOUBLED in foreclosures!!! It went from 1 to 2. I can't wait to see all the bargins in this zip code.

Love it! I do think there is a typo in the results -both lines say 2007 - shouldn't one of them read 2008?

How does an idiot (such as myself) find it in a week, or two, or four. Will there be a constant link on your page or LAT (and where?)

I like it, and like the yoy statistics. Any chance we can add the quarters in between?

I'd rather have a tool that tells me how many heloc-whores are in the neighborhood.
NOD's would be nice also.
It's good to know who your potential future neighbors are.

Peter,
Are these just REOs? Or are they REOs, NODs and NOTs?
Either way, more info is a good thing!

Man, the IE has popped like a huge pimple.
You get a sense of it by "Browsing" Riverside and San Berdoo - check out how many zips are in double digits for "Households per Foreclosure."
I have immediate family in Lake Elsinore, which is at 24.4 households per foreclosure. That's a better number than the student:teacher ratio in CA public schools !!

This is very interesting information. I teach a GIS course at UCLA, and I wonder if there is some way to get the data for all zip codes. I would like my student to map the information and see how the foreclosure rates are related to the characteristics of neighborhoods (zip code areas).
Thanks.

Great job.
Too many houses people can't afford.
Too many cars people can't afford.
Too many designer water bottles people can't afford.
Too many double mocha lattes people can't afford.
Too many kids people can't afford.
Down-sizing (people can afford).
coming from the 92262.

What an eye-opener -- but not in the way most posters here would have you believe. I just checked the zips in Burbank. Because I, too, read the news and pay attention to the housing bubble stories, I expected MANY more foreclosures than there actually are. Truly, the Burbank zip with the most foreclosures STILL only has 11 -- out of over 8000 properties. Oh, one other zip had a yoy foreclosure rate of 50% -- last year 4 properties foreclosed and this year there are six in foreclosure. Gasp! I'm not going to say that my local market is in good shape -- it's not -- but c'mon. As has been said here before, there are lies, damn lies and statistics, and not all of them are coming from Realtors.

Can anyone give me the foreclosure rate on
the Akron Zips? I think they are playing Kent State
this Saturday.
Translation: don't confuse crisis with correction.

Does anyone know what happened to this search engine?
Is there a new link?

Thanks, Free. The link had expired, and I fixed it. It should work now. Thanks for pointing it out.
