I am going to need to change the scale on my right axis

    Yipes. Hey, you probably already mentioned this, but where are you getting this data? Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking? I'd love to have a copy of the spreadsheet.

    Also, until I get the time to re-do the forum format to match the blog (primarily by making it full-width to the browser window), images larger than about 570 pixels wide tend to goof things up. If you could tweak your images so they're no wider than that, that would help keep the forums looking good.

    I do intend to reformat the forums in the relatively near future though.

    Tim -
    The historical monthly data is from BMIT, but for the recent data I have been updating from the same source BMIT uses - foreclosures.com

    I didn't realize it was 570 pixels wide! little wonder my charts go off the page. I'll start tweaking for that.

    Will email you the spreadsheet.

    Yowza! From what I understand, our rate of foreclosure is less than what's seen nationally. But how does our ratio of FC:PFC compare? I remember seeing a figure someplace a little while back that, IIRC, showed the ratio to be less than 20%. But I dunno if that was right or what it is today...

    Also, could the ratio be skewed somewhat because FC obviously lags PFC?

    Good question. BMIT has that covered as of 5/30

    SD County: 74.7%
    LA County: 33.9
    Riverside: 46.3
    OC: 33.6
    Ventura: 38.2
    San Bernadino: 34.1
    Sacramento: 76.8
    Santa Clara: 25.2
    LV/Clark: 47.1
    Phx/Maricopa: 75.9
    Seattle/King/Snoho: 43.1% (I show 49% as of 6/1)

    Interesting to note that their figure for Seattle is slightly lower than mine even though pulled only two days earlier!

    That was right two months ago. It has more than doubled since then. that's what the black pillars on the chart reflect.
