38,212 notices of default (NODs) were recorded in California in the fourth quarter (4Q) of 2012. This is a significant 38% drop from one year earlier.

21,127 trustee’s foreclosures sale deeds were recorded in 4Q 2012. This is a dramatic 32% lower than one year ago.

The percentage of NODs resulting in foreclosure dropped to 39%. This is down from 55% one year earlier. This drop is due in part to California’s recently established Homeowner Bill of Rights, which regulates the foreclosure process.

Among California’s largest counties, the greatest one-year drops in foreclosure sales took place in San Francisco (-51%), Alameda (-48%), Orange (-38%) and San Diego (-37%) counties. Click here for the most recent quarter’s NOD and foreclosure numbers.

Looking forward, the number of NODs and Trustees Deeds will slip until interest rates rise, likely in 2015. Expect an increase going into 2017, then a rapid decline as prices lift many homeowners into positive equity.
