Every county recorder's office in California collects (mainly for statistical purposes) a monthly and yearly count of the more common types of documents that they regularly record. The categories we're particularly interested in are the counts for All Deeds, the Notices of Default, and the number of Trustee's Deeds being recorded from month-to-month.
The monthly count of All Deeds is important because it gives an accurate current measure of the overall activity of the market (hot, lukewarm or cold) and portends its direction for the short term (the next 6 months or so). Thus, if the count is high (i.e. the market is strong) we might be much more aggressive in our bidding than we would be if we sensed that it was trending downward instead. Another interesting relationship is the percentage of NOD's that go all the way to the trustee's sale, as witnessed by the recordings of the Trustee's Deeds. The percentage of trustee's deeds that are currently going to sale is a very strong indicator of the current foreclosure trend. Your chances of being able to make a profitable buy rises dramatically with each increase in the % Went to Sale.
