Foreclosures could become a problem,
size of impact will be more like 2015 than 2008
The Bad News:
• Potentially 600,000 foreclosures nationwide
• That suggests 60,000 in California
• Currently a moratorium through end of 2020
• Eventually delinquencies will be reckoned with
• Serious delinquencies up a lot in June
• Could impact prices (but single digit impacts)
Reasons to Be Hopeful:
• Government on board this time
• 5-year + workouts
• Lots of home equity/minimal cashing out
• No NINJA loans/option ARMs

Many homeowners still have skin in the game
