LOS ANGELES — The latest default numbers from the Los Angeles Times’ Peter Hong: "In April, 7.16 percent of Los Angeles County mortgages were in default, up from 4.67 percent in April 2008, according to First American, which reports on foreclosures as a percentage of active mortgages, rather than as a share of total households as some other firms do."
Which means?
"That means a whole lot of distressed inventory is on its way to being resold on the open market, putting more downward pressure on home prices."
