I am in foreclosure, stopping mortgage payment since 11/11. I did not receive an NOD from the bank. However, I kept getting calls from a realtor. I finally called them and he said that an NOD was filed on 3/21/12 (Though the slime-bucket said he had"No idea why" he was calling me!). I called the county and it is true. Guess I am the last to know!
Another person on another board says he stopped payment at the same time and his was filed 3/20/12. Apparently they are getting MUCH faster at spewing out the paperwork (since the DA's settled??).....the rape and plunder at a frenetic pace I guess.
Since there are realtor's (and many realtor-foes!) here, I also wonder about another experience. I got a bit creeped out last week when I looked up my house on Zillow. Since the NOD was filed, my house has an MLS, but contains information about the house being "move in ready" and that I put hardwood flooring though out the home since I bought it.
Someone (a realtor??) has been doing some serious snooping on my property to find this out! After I read that, just for once I wish my dogs were biters!

banks are planning to release all foreclosure inventory first or second quarter next year, so the process is getting streamlined.

As an investor, my impression is things (foreclosures) start to move faster. For an area I was looking far, there were almost nothing in my price range for a while until last months that there popped up 1-2 unit every week. I suggest people (looking for REOs) wait for a little while before jumping in (YMMV.)

Start to end the process has sped up a little the last few months, but the volume of foreclosures continues to decline. For State/County/City/Zip stats on both volume and timeframes click here: www.foreclosureradar.com/california.
Despite some belief to the contrary we strongly believe there will be no wave of foreclosures. Even if there were we'd see it begin to show in the foreclosure stats as much as a year before it had any direct impact on the market, in terms of REO listings.

If foreclosures speed up the stock market will tank, so it wont happen. Its the 'squatter stimulous'.

Who is the slime bucket here?
You are the one who has chosen to not make payments on your home.
As far as I am concerned, you should not be considered its rightful owner when you have defaulted on your original promise to pay for it.

Could someone tell me who the slime bucket is who forged the note on my 275,000.00 home after losing my down payment of 42,000.00 .I would be an idiot to pay for a home that I will never own because someone else holds the note. Why would someone make payments on a home that has lost 47% of it's value not because of natural market forces but by all the fraud going on in the system by the real slime buckets that created and made millions and billions while the working class lost millions and billions so therefore anyone who dare call a home buyer a slime bucket for refusing to get taken anymore are the real idiots.

Yes, the foreclosure are happening more quickly. I strongly recommend reading the Aequitas associates Audit of SF foreclosures. Abigail Field (Reality Check)and Yves Smith (Naked capitalism) have covered these issues well over the years and "StopForeclosureFraud" Blog has interesting links.REO are sometimes attractively priced but be sure you are familiar with the potential problems with Title and take the appropriate steps to protect yourself.

How much did you pay for the house & how much do you think it is worth now? What year did you buy it, and which county is it in? Thx. :)

A lot of questions(!) What I will say is that I put 40% down (ouch) in June '07. According to Zillow, I am 75k under water, but I believe it is more like 100-125k.

bail if it makes sense to you to bail. however, the sniveling rationalization of your behavior evidenced in this quote, makes you absolutely a slime bucket...
"forged a note..." really? you mean you didn't get the money? you didn't promise to pay? or you mean an archane principle wasn't followed to record YOUR LEGITIMATE DEBT.
a few decades ago, the only way to get a check cashed was to present if physically at the bank it was drawn on... a digital copy of your check would have been a forgery, today I can take a picture of my renters check, and deposit at my bank. Checking has been modernized, mortgage laws remain in the horse and buggy era.
but don't play victim when you decide not to pay a debt you owe... it is was it is, YOU not living up to your commitments.

which are quiet nonexistant when one considers how cushy bankruptcy laws. No one who willingly plays the game; whether its people overpaying for houses or banks throwing out money, is a victim. The only victims in our country are the young generations, whose future was thrown under the bus for their parents greed over and over.

Great post Danaseb.
I certainly hope NOD/Foreclosures increase. Inventory is down by 25 to 40% in all the areas I'm looking at. Isn't this the Spring when inventory is supposed to jump up?

It's factually not true. Foreclosure activity is down this Spring. Here's the data from ForeclosureRadar http://www.foreclosuretruth.com/blog/sean/the-foreclosure-report-march-2012/
and from RealtyTrac
