Hi Renee, that is excellent news and I think it sends hopeful messages to the other markets. Once the REO's and short sales get moved, others will see stability and we will be moving in a more positive environment.

I wonder what the bank owned absorption rate was in 2005 and 2006. I'm guessing it was very near zero. If that is the case, would 2.9 months actually be a seller's market for bank owned listings? What does a "seller's market" even mean for bank owned listings anyway? I would think that having over 2 months of bank owned inventory would be near multi-decade highs. It would be nice to see some data that showed what the average bank-owned absorption rate has been over the years.

Larry: A definite change! This market has jump started all other moving sectors in our area.

Duane: I am pleased to see our markets shift from a pathetic (beyond buyer's market) to a stable market, just check out my next pending report due mid june.

Bryan: Thanks, thanks and thanks :)

William: Most definitely! My next pending report (as I mentioned to Duane) has us moving in to a stable market, definitely better times.

John S: Well good morning Mr Sunshine :cough cough: It would be nice and I did try to see if I could pull it but I can't. Unfortunately *i* didn't keep data stats on this until October of last year where the inventory was a buyer's market. Knowing what I know (through BPOs), the REOs of the last several years had average market times similar to other houses on the market. My monthly reports are for reference so my clients know what they are stepping into when they want to buy, rent or sell their homes. Offer frenzies are going on in the REO market right now and people need to know that. I don't think that was happening in 2005-2006 to this extent.

Renee, It is truly mind-boggling how our market has changed these past few years. I'm so glad your market is picking up, even if it is in REOs and Short Sales. This too shall pass!
