In order to get a better understanding of Whittier Foreclosures, we need to take a look at the sales history (in order to give you a good idea what has happened in Whittier with regards to Foreclosures, I compiled REO sales figures all the way back to January of 2007):

Whittier Foreclosures Sales History

While the number of REO sales is a good indicator of what has been happening in the Whittier Real Estate market, the most accurate and reliable data is the one looking at the Foreclosures as a Percentage of the total sales (as overall sales numbers change by month and can scew the the figures).

The chart below shows the Percentage of Foreclosures of Whittier Residential Property Sales, from January 2007 through May 2010:

Whittier Foreclosures Sales History by Percentage

This graph clearly shows a spike in Whittier Foreclosure sales in January of 2009 at 44% of the total sales. Since then, even though there have been ups and downs, there seems to be a declining trend in the percentage of Foreclosure sales in Whittier.

The month of June is not yet over, and right now the percentage of Foreclosure sales in Whittier is at 18% of the total sales volume for this month. I will be checking the numbers again at the end of the month and will update you on the final percentage.
