California foreclosure starts rise nearly 20% in February

ForeclosureRadar (www.foreclosureradar.com)issued its monthly California Foreclosure Report for for February 2010. After reaching the lowest level in a year last month, Notice of Defaults, the start of the foreclosure process, increased by 19.7 percent in February. The number of properties scheduled for foreclosure sale remained near record levels, yet foreclosure sales, either Back to Bank or Sold to 3rd Parties, dropped by 11.9 percent total.

"The disconnect between delinquencies, and foreclosure sales continues to widen," says Sean O'Toole, Founder and CEO of ForeclosureRadar.com. "While efforts to slow foreclosures are clearly working, it remains unclear that anything has yet addressed the core problem of excess household mortgage debt."
