Foreclosure Overview:

Since official real estate documents are recorded in our office, we are able to monitor the number of notices of default and trustee deeds recorded. Although San Francisco has had fewer foreclosures than other areas in California, each home that goes through a foreclosure represents a resident or family that may become homeless. Single family residences account for 75% of foreclosures in San Francisco. In 2010, notices of default recorded in our office have declined 17% from 2009, while trustee deeds recorded have increased by 23% over the same period.
