There are plenty of properties in preforeclosure though in nearly all these areas, including Malibu. The owners could still keep them, but it doesn’t really stand to reason that people with plenty of money lying around would stop making mortgage payments. Upshot: you might want to give it 6 months on these bold predictions.
I guess you cant list everyones hood but Silverlake is right in that Prime category.
