It looked so appealing on MLS, didn't it. The price is $90,000 below list/sale from two years ago, in a decent and workable area; your buyers are not only qualified but ready to go with their loan package, and the home? On market for 135 days. What could possibly be wrong?

As of late, I have recieved more phone calls and email about Short Sale and REO (Bank-Owned) properties than anything else. The reason is simple: Buyers are keenly aware that the tide has turned in their favor, and they want to find the best possible deal out there.

Really?
Are you sure? Do you know every possible thing that could go wrong in any market - let alone a market where qualified buyers need to be picked through to make sure you can close a transaction and not create a lawsuit along the way.
OK

Question: I'm trying to find out how many homes in seattle are on the market (price range between $850-$1,000,000 and based on # of homes, how many sell in this price range on a month to month basis, to determine the average marketing time for this price range. Example if there are 100 homes for sale in Seattle and there are 10 sales per month, that would equal a 10 month supply in this price range. Is this data available, publicly? Property I'm looking at is in Magnolia. Thanks
