SoCAL underwater - don't blame the rain!

Posted By CotoBlogzz

Coto de Caza, CA – One in  four homeowners in Coto de Caza/Dove Canyon owe more on their loans than their homes are worth, according to a new analysis from real estate tracking firm Zillow

When homeowners walk away from their loans or pursue a short sale, something common in Coto de Caza/Dove Canyon,  they push home prices lower, feeding a cycle that has hampered the Southern California real estate market for years.

Rancho Santa Margarita, Ladera Ranch and Lake Forest and Tustin are even worse, with  35%, 37% , 29% and 30% under water, respectively, whereas Laguna Woods Village and Irvine fare much better at 17 and 18% respectively and Newport Beach at a very low 8%

Given these underwater figures,, the ponzi schemes  associated with the homeowners association in these communities makes it even more problematic for these homeowners.  In Her book, From: Villa Appalling!  Deatroying the Myth of Affordable Community Living, Author and LA Times columinist Donie Vanitzian writes:

"If the industry has its way, one association won’t be enough.  In fact, you may pay two or three associations, a master association and several sub-associations.  Bear in mind, you are paying all these association fees on top of your regular bills and mortgage payments.  This now looks like a Ponzi scam:  Associations on top of associations all paid for by the homeowner at the bottom of the pyramid."
