I threw those plots together relatively quickly at work – I will clean them up for next weeks numbers – but looking at them again the increase in short Sales has been pretty astounding – almost doubled in 4 months – but more interesting, I think, is that despite the week-to-week changes being all over the map, the change in short sales has been slightly higher than the change in total litstings every week (even when oth are negative) resulting in the nearly linear increase in the percent of listings that are short sales (the green line).

Of course all of that has the error inherent in the method of collecting this data – which all comes from sdcellar’s posts in this thread by the way (don’t want to steal any credit other than making a plot of data provided by others).
